Ahhh. Poor Palace......... 

[nai]

What's it come to when you read

"Warnock's £15,000-a-week salary"

and think, "is that all?"?

[Jaspersharpe]

It's come to the pretty near the end of the line I'd say!

£780k a year to manage a shit Championship side ain't a bad screw. 

[Teaboy]

I'm guessing Portsmouth won't get their parachute payments if they go bust but presumably running the club with amature players (and overheads) would allow them to recieve them and pay them to creditors???

[Jaspersharpe]

No if they go bust then they'll be liquidated. There will be no club to pay the payments to.

This is very sad news....

This is really shoddy. No lessons learned from Notts County. The rules need to be changed.

This doesn't seem to reflect particularly well on the Tees Valley's "form club of recent years"

[Jaspersharpe]

I can't imagine why you might have brought that to our attention. 

Very poor from the chimp stranglers.

That's the end of all that "Owen for England" bollocks then. He's out for the rest of the season.

[Jaspersharpe]

.......and in more good news for England:

[cofe]

The last one is good news innit. I hope he can stay fit an find form. Our best player at the last world cup.

[Jaspersharpe]

Yeah especially as they were saying a few weeks ago that he might never fully recover. Fingers crossed.

[cofe]

some of the others (not thinking of all chelsea players in particular) should watch some vids of hargreaves from the last world cup to learn a thing or two about working hard for your country. at least in this one we'll have Rooney shouting 'Come on!' at them if they start slacking. Who needs a captain's armband?

[Dr T]

oh nicklas....
oh arsenal...
50 minutes in
and why am I not really suprised...
 
hope it gets better or I'll be depressed for the rest of the weekend

[Dr T]

We win  score flatters...
hmmm why is it always such hard work...

Colchester Brighton on Sky Sports 1 this evening. Unfortunately I wouldn't expect another cracker like the Saints game as their pitch is supposed to be a disgrace. We're on a decent run though, have the fourth best away record in the division and could well cause an upset by getting at least a point tonight.

[Jaspersharpe]

Should have won last night. Nice to see us playing some really good football at times (in total contrast to Colchester).

Great description of the game and Colchester's (lack of) style here:

Terrible performance last night from Liverpool. What was meant to be a season of real hope and expectation (dont we say that every season though  ) has in my opinion ended. We will be lucky to get into the europa cup next season   

[Norton Sharley]

 

Well that'll be balanced reporting then.  It's a bit like listening to some of UKB's finest cynics talking football.  Smashing. 

Shame you didn't win, even with Poyet in charge, we need all the help we can get to stay above the chasing pack.

[Jaspersharpe]

We've done you plenty of favours recently. Last night, beating Charlton and letting in that 96th minute goal at Elland fucking Road.

[Dr T]

We will be lucky to get into the europa cup next season   

you need to win in to be in it.....

[Jaspersharpe]

Well that'll be balanced reporting then. 

Just thought I'd post a Colchester fan's view in the interest of balance. 

[Norton Sharley]

What, you work for the BBC now? 

[Jaspersharpe]

Nah, they don't pay enough.

In manchester with work, sat in the hotel bar with 200 irish man utd fans. Wasn't sure if this was a nnfn post. As a leeds fan I feel offended - fucking scum!
