    Think they're more than capable of doing that themselves...

    There's a gap in the market for decent cartoons in this country. Perhaps I could create the British answer to Archer.

    Enough to live at a reasonable standard without having to worry about finances will do me. Luxuries are great and all, but I can't see the point if you're spending most of every day doing something you loathe.

    Wouldn't that just be seen as a crummy James Bond parody?

    I run their Facebook page, completely voluntary of course, but the aim is to increase awareness and get more people knowing that there is a Portsmouth Ladies team and hopefully that will lead to increased attendances. So far the page has 431 likes. In April of this year, it had about 15-20ish.

    I may also become their stadium announcer and music player (Les Mis soundtrack!) but not sure.

    Thanks for the advice though. Similarly to Dan, I'm not sure what I want to do and even more so, not sure what I'm capable of doing. All I can say though is that after this experience, I think I want to pursue other non-office type areas.

    So I've just watched Les Mis for the third time in four days. I don't think I've ever seen a single film so many times in such a short space of time before.

    Not exactly getting rave reviews in Italy at the moment from what I understand, having said that...neither was Lovren in France.

    Well he is good. Besides, you wouldn't be so sick if he signed for Saints. ;)

    We don't need a CB at all. Imagine Yoshida being fourth choice. Not necessary.

    Yep, read that a couple of days ago. The BBC are running a little scared at the moment. They don't know what the correct action to take is, whether it be commissioning programmes, cancelling them or whatever. Plus you've got Tessa Jowell of the Labour Party suggesting they become a Mutual Company, which starts the process of kicking the BBC in touch, as far as being the nations cultural yardstick is concerned.

    I was thinking of Hooiveld finding another club.

    Or put it this way. Is Jose Fonte good enough for Champions League football..?

    Personally, I think he's fine in a squad.

    Yeah there are far more pressing needs. Our back seven is just fine thank you.

    Yeah, assuming that we don't have unlimited funds, dropping 6-10m on another CB likely isn't much of a priority.

    Cortese has the uncanny habit of knowing what is required, so if he thinks it's time to spend money, it's time to spend money.

    I wouldn't say our signings have been flawless since Cortese has been here. Chung was rather unnecessary and seemingly so was Gaston. Now I don't know whose idea those signings were but clearly we can't be totally confident of every signing being a success. I feel that signing Astori would be a bad decision, and I don't think we've been so good in the market that I should just have blind faith from now on.
