dubai_phil Posted 18 October, 2009 Share Posted 18 October, 2009 Big week this week. Gitex - the 3rd largest IT & related products show in the world. Busy time for all of us down here. Economic reality is showing though with a major reduction in the number of large vendors exhibiting here. With the exception of Microsoft, who are using the event as their focal point in the Windows 7 global release. In fact, they are making a huge song and dance & PR push. The rest of the industry down here however are now enthralled by what hs become a massive sweepstake, attracting large bets even in this land. The Sweepstake is Which will fatally crash first Windows 7 or Portsmouth Football Club? Guess who's now odds on? Highest bet placed so far is 2,371 Dirhams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dubai_phil Posted 19 October, 2009 Share Posted 19 October, 2009 Now now WSS, give credit to posters who's research leads to legendary moments! Smirking_SaintDon't get the 2,371 reference ?? Have i missed an interesting snippet ?? As for the game, hehehe Dindane ?? More like Bindone !!! Give it up Skate, nothing beats your 2,371 (26th Sept 2000) for a 1st Team fixture (Even Bournemouth get higher gates than that). You lost the argument on attendance figures when only TWO THOUSAND could be bothered to turn up, or are you now going to tell us the Trawlers were in town that night and you were queued up down the docks to get your fresh fish.

rallyboy Posted 21 October, 2009 Share Posted 21 October, 2009 I can't see how their debt can still be £70M??! Unless of course we discover that Fahim has trousered the Sky money and 'forgotten' to pay off the banks - that would be hilarious! Surely they've cleared £30M since the summer and should have done the tax bill by now. With the reduced wage bill of a Conference quality squad even hero Storrie's huge salary can't have pushed them back to the brink. If the £70M debt were true they could shut shop this afternoon and forget being a football club cos that ain't ever going to get paid. Maybe it's those nasty papers who've got it in for them, remember how they claimed there was going to be a firesale, then they wrote that Fahim was a loon, that Defoe and Crouch would go, then they said that the club was on the brink of admin and that Hart's job was hanging by a thread, nasty tabloid lies. Funny how we haven't seen much libel action launched yet. Anyway, trying to make sense of the soap opera latest, the man who could be holding the cards now is Gaydamak whose old man wouldn't let him sell to Faraj. Arms Dealer senior now holds a hand of aces over the new owner should he want access to the land for redevelopment, not only can he not buy it direct, Faraj will have to be nice to Fahim just to gain access to it. If I was the gun runner I would just sit on the land and wait until the whole lot comes crashing down which it must without ground redevelopment or HUGE investment. Plenty more laughs in this one, I've never seen a comedy with so many side-splitting encores, everytime the curtain closes and you get up to leave they come out and do more.

rallyboy Posted 22 October, 2009 Share Posted 22 October, 2009 I like Storrie's rock solid defence for failing to declare tax on a deal (or the deal itself) during a calendar year - he was away for a week of it. Guilty, next case. I am sure Redknapp, Storrie and Mandaric didn't have their grubby fat fingers in the till, like muddy pigs snorting around a trough of cash, oink, oink, that scenario obviously hasn't occured and anyone who thinks it has would require proof. Pancake is right, we need to campaign to keep Fahim and Storrie involved, and Hart as manager, maybe we should try and get Redknapp back to look after all transfers as well, when he comes out of the scrubs. The train crash continues, and if anything, seems to be gathering pace!...choo choo, mind the doors, and the offshore accounts.

So shame the sk*tes are still going but then we get more fun out of their demise, MS we just expected it (Oh the presenter had an excuse worthy of Al Fahim - it was Abode Acrobat's fault) lol God Bless amateurs in all walks of life (Sweepstahe was won by a sales guy from Dell btw Aed 2731 I believe) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
