it has quelled their claims of being a sleeping giant.For 25 years or more i heard that from them, how they'd fill their 36k stadium easily.Well when they went up with Bally they didnt and now in the razzmatazz days of the 'best league in the world' they don't. The PL is becoming a dud.

I myself have been sceptical of AL but the reson for that was he was poor. last season he relied on his overrating on here. Recently he has been much more effective, perhaps he could add heading to his repertoire. Well done to both of them

i dont doubt we had some low gates in the old Div 1 but that was before the razzmatazz of the EPL and also after the heysel and Hillsborough disasters when football was a pariah.

she made her claim on the basis that it had finished her career.If she is now doing a new series that patently is not the case. Insurance companies lift their premiums to cover payouts.We end up footing the bill by increased premiums. Not that i need plastic surgery of course as im drop dead gorgeous but others....

he thinks he's better than he is.needs to be brought down a few pegs.

true

Oh i thought it was the NHS. Anyway it is wrong , we all have to pay extra insurance premiums due to high claims.

i notice she is doing a new show. Did she not take in the region of £5m damages from the NHS as the infection she received had finished her career? If true she should pay the money back, if not all a large chunk of it.

Yardy yardy yah,that is not the quote.You mentioned in one that you had 13.5k s/ts sold last season and fully expected them to beat that and get to 16k. As I say I expect you have deleted the one I mention. 3 home games and not only have you not been able to fill the ground but it has been a pathetic turnout. Dont hide behind 'if you had sold all your players' etc we have and even had boycotts and still got more fans than you when we were heading for L1. The sleeping giant stuff has been put to bed once and for all.You have a good hardcore of fans in the 8-10k region, if you sign a lot of star players and go out to buy success above your station much like your sister club Wigan then you will get bigger gates.Spurs will fill your ground for you, HR's return will get them off their ar### but if you stay propping up the league the gates will reduce further.

Steven Gately doesnt look well

Ive a Blackberry curve. Its ok, im sure if you are very savvy it can be great.I find the screen is not big enough for the web. So perhaps the iphone would be better for me.

Typical Ho talk, make a statement and then add the screen in case it is his usual bull by putting up proviso's

I have just read your sidestep.I cant be bothered to search through all your nonsense for your quote (I would never be surprised that you'd deleted it) You said in one of your posts that your friend at the club had said it was 12k , it would exceed the 13.5k of last seasn and probably make 16k. It was at the time when i told you that the figure was below 9k. Of course you may get higher attendances if you got a load of great players in, in fact if you got Ronaldo you'd fill the ground every week. The point is the sleeping giant cannot fill the stadium even though you are a PL side.You have a large percentage of fickle fans who are JCL's, no doubt you being one also. Now tell us how many s/ts you have sold.No putting up 'If' etc how many does 'your contact at the club 'tell you they sold.

I think when he came on he has not been the player we remember from last season. When he did come on he tried too hardto impress perhaps and that didnt help.

Are you for real? Lol The last people you mess with are HMRC. I also believe that they can give punitive rates of interestand penalties.I dont think 5% would be the figure.Anyway I note that PFC have been late paying for many years and that will not be looked kindly upon.

I havent noticed this being posted, sorry if it is a duplicate. He has gone to Doncaster then.He has lost a bit of confidence this season , probably as AP has not played him.Down to his lack of height I expect.

one minute is it sole owner and then the next there are backers.It doesnt add up

Thats the problem no government can afford to lose the City and the4y have us by the short and curlies.They generate so much wealth that the country that doesnt create much else cannot afford to lose them. Pubs are going out of business due to the fact that the whole culture has changed and most of the pubs are run more as property companies rather than selling beers for the brewery. if i was PM Id legalise prostitution, drugs and cut back on supermarkets selling cheap booze. The idle would work and the frail and weak looked after.The City would be encouraged to make money so that it could spread down the food chain.Excessive bonusses would be frowned at though

Hold it there BTF you are adding to a myth. When Blair came to power he took away the BOE's powers to regulate and let the bankers have a free reign.That is when the excess was started and the BOE was neutered. I have no time for the bankers who took easy pickings due to the self regulation. They have won always round and hard working people in the private and public sector will pick up the bill. The PM was the chancellor during the time when the 125%mortgages were given out, and when it was reported our credit levels were the highest borrowings in history etc.He did nothing. It was obvious you cannot have house prices double and treble when wages are only going up 2-4% for there not to be a major adjustment.If a person cannot put a button down as a deposit then they are not able to pay back a mortgage of 125%. It was during his watch this happened and so with Blair should shulder the blame. The bankers earnt massive amounts of money and i doubt only a small percentge of people on here would hold their hand up and say enough is enough this is wrong if they were doing the same, but carry on making their famillies rich forever. I believe in capitalism and that the people who work hard and do well can help the less able. If you want to go back to the early 1970s where you had strife throughout the strata and the brain drain you are making a big mistake. Cameron is not the type of Tory leader that inspires me, but he is more likely to take the tough decisions tha the country needs right now.Brown will throw whatever money he has to, to try and make things look good shortterm so he can cling to power. You have grandchildren i think Im right in saying, if so you are doing them a disservice by defending his policies that they will have to pay back for theior lifetime.Remember when he came to power the counrty was in the black and it is accepted they inherited a golden economy that was about to take off. 10 years of squander and we now are back to where we were where Callaghan and Healey left us. Taxes will be heaped on us till we squeak, it is not going to be pretty for us whoever is in power.In a strange way i hope Brown wins because he will reap what he has sewn and the left will never again be able to tll us how good they are in power.Winning the next election is a poisoned chalice as they will be blamed for the medicine we now have to take for others misdemeanours.

and the 'can we have our picture taken with you Dr?' lol

How many s/ts have you sold, the 13.5k that would get to 16k doesnt seem quite correct.Your mate at the club can surely give you an update

The teams stated are in teh PL and so have gained the profile by doing so. Yes Portsmouth is renowned for its naval history and that would be of interest to some.Pompeys recent footballing history has been good, of which you are paying for now. You have again escaped without getting a proper penalty by buying sccess but you as fans have great memories to hold and so dont care. Portsmouth city council have great plans, it will be interesting to see how they fund it, but i do agree they have a better business mind than the Southampton one.

I can understand your frustration but non Pompey fans i talk to without fail cannot understand why billionaires keep sniffing around the club.I was talking to somebody from The City about it and he was alos incredulous why ,and thought there may be something odd about it all.You are a proper football fan who loves his club, I have no problem with that but standing back from your bias you must see that it does seem odd why. Wigan Blackburn Burnley have just the same fan base and facilities but no billionaires are turning up at their door. As for the hacks having a go, your club is a circus much like ours was a few seasons ago. They did not like Lowe and were out to destabilise and they obviously want to get you, there seems to be lots of WHU fans in the media and as they are in trouble they will do their best to hole any rival under the waterline. No stories seem to run on their financial problems

Are you not disrespecting the the working class.I assume it means that to be working class you go out looking for a fight hurl abuse at all and sundry and shout expletives? Not in my experience. Most are decent hard working people. I suggest Derry wants the less savoury to be kept away. The above can be put in many of the other categories, I know a lot of middle class people who could easily fit the bracket.

lol, sentence wrong again.
