I like how they assume because they've been unable to shift their shovel of sheet that this must simply mean they have a buyer on the way.

"Must be loads of nippers we can sign next week on loan once the bank account is unfrozen. QPR just released a couple of players" -SpencerC, The news website. OH FFS!!! TRJDGI!!!!!!!!!

"pompey has a lot to offer" my sides nearly split!!....they've got a lot of debts f'sure!
-
haha...."trash the place and drive off" yeah right, then perhaps the University of southampton who regularly use the facilities at Staplewood should ask them not to use theirs anymore.

Seriously, how deluded are they? Balram Chanrai owns the ground they play on, he'll lose nothing if they're liquidated (well, no more than he would if he kept pumping money in) and they keep threatening that he'll get nothing back... and as my post a while ago, somone justified it when I asked why they think they're not in admin with "are they and CSI not inextricably linked?"

Seriously, WTF!!!.....How can they STILL be so deluded!!!??? "we're NOT in administration" http://www.portsmouth.co.uk/sport/pompey/pompey-past/great-matches/pompey_defender_desperate_to_stay_1_3467616

The lines that annoy me and therefore I can't get out of my head until I justified them were: for example, Marc Cohn's "Walking in Memphis" with the following line: "There's a pretty little thing, waiting for the king, down in the jungle room" Now, I don't think I'm alone in thinking thats an overt sexual reference....well, I've actually been to Graceland and have seen this "Jungle room" turns out to be nothing more than a play room for Lisa-Marie....was I annoyed!! Turned out however, the line "there's catfish on the table and gospel in the air" is in fact an overt sexual reference!

If this is for people who went on the Kenya thing for the saints foundation then my cousin should be there! (we're a big family so I don't always know everything that goes on) I'll text him!

The Spending Review (tackling the Socialists debt mountain)
Hockey_saint replied to dune's topic in The Lounge
I will point out however; a lot of my zealous labourite friends will point out ATOS as an "evil" private company used to assess claims for incapacity benefit and ESA and they do blame the conservatives for this problem (it's a problem when 40% of their rejected "fit to work(s)" appeal and win their case) but in fact Labour hired them in....unfortunately the tories have found this to be a spiffing plan and are going to use them even more :s -
The Spending Review (tackling the Socialists debt mountain)

I have indeed...do we know how subjective in nature these opinion polls are? besides; the labour drop is clearly due to Milliband being obviously unelectable...kinda like Duncan Smith, Haugh and old Vampire features...come on, how long did it take you lot to return after the complete drubbing you took in '97? and no "drubbing" happened at the last election thank you. -

First they came for the Jobless And I did not speak out Because I had a job Then they came for the elderly And I did not speak out Because I was not elderly Then they came for the trade unionists And I did not speak out Because I was not a trade unionist Then they came for the Disabled And I did not speak out Because I was not disabled Then they came for me And there was no one left To speak out for me I do hope pastor Martin Niemoller will forgive me but just a couple of words needed to be changed and oh look....doesn't it look strikingly familiar?....Lord Halifax and the rest of his tory cronies wanted to strike a deal back then too :s -
Rather ironic that Charles Dickens...the skate...was arrested in Victorian America for protesting about work being illegally copied as at that time copyright was deemed "unconstitutional"

A perfect illustration of why you should never vote Labour again
Hockey_saint replied to dune's topic in The Lounge
I will say this about the NHS however; I've spent several weeks with a couple of health care co-ordinators in Washington D.C. who told me a great many things about their systeml I gleened the following: most of the money spent on private healthcare over the pond gets eaten up in admin and paying the vast sums the doctors command (kinda like footballers here) and also, their daughter had to wait in the local ER for 4 hours even though they were private and quite wealthy....what does that say? I have a friend who's the worst kind of councillor, a labour-turned-Liberal one and I once mentioned tp him that it was thanks to Thatcher's school integration policies that I gained access to mainstream education to wit he pointed out that that was amoney-saving excersize and more in sipte of her. But I do agree, you cannot throw money at a problem and expect it to be solved, but in the same sense, you can't make deep cuts and expect the same as well. -

Nice to see disability discrimination is popular on this thread....I'm there are warnings up about this and you are treading a fine line. Anyhow, I dont have a wheelchair because my condition is a serious chronic neurological one which, I thank Southampton for having the Wessex Neuro centre; one of the best in the country and built with a lot of the money "thrown away". So you don't find it ironic then that Multi-millionaire David Cameron (son-in-law of an Astor) claimed the Assistance benefit for his now sadly deceased son which he's currently trying to take away from a shedload of seriously disabled people? Still, I suppose you are all children of Thatcher, who in turn was a product of ideals created by Enoch Powell.....says a lot really...oh yes and what was HIS party political words? "Vote Labour" -

And what did they spend it on again?...."gambling with our children's futures" pahh what a load of bunkum. Perhaps you should have a word with the poor, the sick, the disabled and the elderly who are currently being treated like pieces of dog muck under this sham of a coalition; but mybe not a word with the rich toffee-nosef bankers who caused so many problems for the global ecomony who are currently laughing all the way to the preverbial bank with their millionaire Tory mates. Besides, I assume you all remember the 80's? so spending what they did was wrong, but have a look at what they were landed with by the Major government and why it took such a hammering and as a disabled person awaiting the removal of the once assistance that helps me into work in the name of cuts by this mess of a tory party I think you all above should be ashamed of yourselves. Labour may have gotten it quite wrong but not in a vindictive way like the nasty party you all above appear to belong to. -
Health workers reject government's final offer on pensions
Hockey_saint replied to trousers's topic in The Lounge
More to do with Thatcher's "pension holidays" actually, look it up. -
I like the famous Xavi quote "he could walk past 5 players but not with speed, for me he was a genius" Fact is, he probably couldn't run past them, but, of course, never needed to Matthew Paul Le Tissier that is, I don't know who this Le Tisseir is
-
I do hope those down the road get bombarded by Chelski fans on the wind up about how they smashed the skates 4-0 when in fact it was a pretty open game by all accounts and that the blue few answer back with "well, you're premiership and we're lower league and we played really well. Wouldn't that be ironic?
-
I was actually worried about that programme cover as it appeared a bit Lowe-esqe. The year has been so good though; at the beginning of the season, I looked at the fixtures and tthought "I can't really see any teams we can beat" now I generally think there are few we cannot (still a wee bit worried about some of the fixtures left but I'm sure we'll have bleedin good go at them COYRs!)
-
Going back some, but I was thinking the other day about some of the players we've turned down....Gazza for example; just imagine him and Le Tiss as 2 attacking midfielders behind one Alan Shearer. But then as I pointed out to a Blackburn fan friend of mine the other day; It all really boils down to how the manager can utilise them a-la Branfoot struggling at the bottom of the premiership with the bases of a team that won the league. :s

I kinda did for a while; you just need try quite a few times. I think they're server is over-worked. I was actually quite annoyed at the beginning of the season because I'm a bit old-schoolish and actually like to download my e-programme, the option to download a .pdf wasn't there (or at least it wasn't obvious). now I know how to save em as such I'm a bit happier but if it keeps doing it, I'd try to email them if I were you.
