    evening all! Bought a new tv today. We finally succumbed...the dilemma now is..do we get another sky box or do we get netflix. Hmm, might try netflix for a month and see how that goes..much cheaper than another sky box!

    I'm an OP too! I remember quite a few people being put in bins in the common room or having a bin put on top of them. Also remember Finn having to duck all the time!

    Morning all from a very mild West West London at +8C.

    Had a good laugh last night at the Hornets Darts Night at The Vic...my mate go into the Semi Finals and beating Mrs B on the way. A lot of the players turned out and were having a good laugh...seems The Red Lion is coming along with fixtures and fittings going in and will be open fairly soon.

    Góðan daginn til allra. Cappuccino, coffee, tea donuts and fruit are on the bar.

    Frothy cappuccinos for for al, HH, Leon and W_Y
    Coffees for COYH, Frenchie, Kev rob and theo
    Strong coffee for Sandy
    Milky coffee for Yorkie
    Espresso for SuffolkHorn
    Strong black coffees for Bragi Norway and zen
    Black coffee half hot half cold and no sugar for Charlie
    Tea for BHD jsybarry jerzeypie Lloydinio NZ and BCFCRed
    Hot chocolate with marshmallows for BBW
    Tea with skimmed milk and no sugar for GG

    There are arguments again Vikudagur says -5C and Veðurstofa -1C. I know the temperature is cold as we have more snow again. Vikudagur is the newspaper for Akureyri and Veðurstofa is the national weather office.

    Morning All, just spent a couple of hours getting a reluctent computer to fire up. :angry: Still it doesn't seem like a bad day outside and I might think about doing some outside bits.

    Pompey in court today trying to get their administration sorted out. It seems as if everyone from the MP and local council, to the everyday fan is trying to stop the same man being appointed again. Seeing as he has been at the centre of a string of dodgy owners there is a very strong case against him. The owner(sort of) wants him of course, but looking at it from the outside I would have to ask has the administrator been fair to everyone who is owed money, or has he been working mainly for the owner.

    Thanks for that Dan - I take it PSH's team is Braveheart if so Hornette is on top of him in this league too. (seems to be theme running here)

    I have made the top 10 :smiley-finger007:<party>:smiley-finger007: with my team of nutters.

    Thanks for getting it started Dan.

    Do you do the Texaco Prediction League as well?

    I did enjoy it, as did Pie (his 16th birthday present) and my Mum (her Xmas present). It was the second time I've been, so of course I enjoyed it!

    Portsmouth back in administration, but the judge still has to make a ruling on who should be the administrator.

    The penalty is a minimum of 10 points, but HMRC said in the hearing that it could be -20.

    Even with -10 it will give the teams at the bottom renewed hope.

    I found this on points deduction and I'm interested about the rules for being in administration twice. Who decides the possible extra points deduction?

    The deductions of 10 points in the Football League and 9 points in the Premier League were ratified in 2004, with the rule in place from the start of the 2004–05 season.[12][13] The League also adopted rules that prevented any side from being in administration for either two successive seasons or eighteen consecutive months.[14] The reason for the deduction being a point less in the Premier League was due to the fact that the teams play eight less fixtures than Football League clubs

    Portsmouth - (Entered Administration)26 February 2010 - (Exited Administration)24 October 2010 - Premier League &#8722;9 pts

    Personally I'm getting fed up of hearing about another club being in financial trouble. You would think with the amount of money coming and going that they would have decent accountants!!! "Sorry Mr Owner / Chairman you are paying out £££££££ but you are only getting £££ coming in".

    I'm wondering if Portsmouth have contacted LoansDirect, I have heard it is easier to consolidate all of you loans into one, easy to pay....................<laugh>, sorry but if a club goes back into admin so quickly again you start to wonder if they have learnt from their mistakes?
