Pompey now in the hands of a Saudi property investor.


Next 5 PL games are Spurs (h), Hull (a), Wigan (h), Blackburn (a), Stoke (a). Win 3 of those games and things will be looking good. I don't think many points will be needed to stay up this season. Before people seriously consider West Ham going down I think you just need to realise this league also contains Brum, Hull & Wolves.

Here is the full transcript from the George Gillett interview. It makes very different reading from what the media has effectively taken out of context this morning (in fact Gillett calls Rafa a genius). The media in this country pick and choose their quotes and spin it what ever which way will suit them but I suspect by tomorrow (now the full transcript is in the Times) the headlines will be quite different and perhaps pointed at United. Gillett claims United have pocketed the Ronaldo money to pay down their debt, Arsenal are unable to spend more than Liverpool for legal reasons and Abramovich is in trouble.

?We have invested in keeping with the history of the club more money than our competitors, which means it should be getting better. Now if it?s not getting better, it?s not Gillett and Hicks, it?s the manager, it?s the scouting. So make sure you balance out your analysis."


That doesn't read like a man in tune with his manager, whether he calls him a genius or not. The whole interview sounds like someone trying to pass the buck or at least make himself seem better than "the other guy". As for United pocketing the ?80, well, it;s not like we needed all that money for new players. Seems sensible to me to get rid of some debt and use some for team expansion.

I think he is saying if people think the team has gone backwards it's not his fault - personally I think they're all full of shit and will say what suits them and that includes every club whether Owner, Manager or Players.

Even that's not true -When it was cash they used to let 2 of you through at once for ?4 intead of ?3 each at UP..I suspect that wasn't unique to us either

Thought as much SP. Not a bad policy.


I have a friend who I used to debate/argue sporting issues with all the time until I finally realised he would never ever accept defeat in an argument no matter how strong the arguement against him was - Once I realised that we no longer argue, I just make my points and move on - its much easier now.

I'm back after a nasty bout of man flu. Very pleased with our result on Subday, yes Fat Boy Dunn should have had a penalty but so should Gallas, and to hear that poisonous northern t**t bleat about not geting the penalty is music to my ears. As usual Fergusmoan gets away with berating the referee, will the FA do anything about it? Is the pope a muslim, are Rangers fans Catholic? You get my drift. Chavski look like the team to beat still, I see nothing in Citeh or Man Ure to frighten other teams regardless of our results against them.
It has been revealed that Big Sam's mate Phil Brown actually lied about talking a woman down from a bridge who was going to commit suicide last week. His players said no such incident took place. Makes you wonder about his credibility... if it was ever in doubt...

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
