A month after posting that The Mirror are on the case.....

Crisis-club Portsmouth are offering financial advice to supporters on their website. Pompey, who are in administration and have huge debts, are advertising PFC Financial Services division, which claims to bring everyday financial solutions to fans' families. One supporter said: "It's got to be a sick joke."

Warnock has gone from Palace to QPR. Wish he had stayed with us but it seems it was down to the money we get from QPR.

Pompey are back in court with HMRC today not sure what the outcome of that will be

I think it's just a formality to make sure that they're not using administration to avoid paying thier tax bill..

David Gill, puppet on a string

David Gill has dismissed concerns surrounding the Glazer family, claiming the owners were "running the club the right way".

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/8548113.stm

The amount of debt secured on the club and the Glazers' shareholding in it is more than £700m according to recent accounts.

Yep running the club the right way, going from zero pounds debt to £700m, Gill obviously went to the same school of economics as Gordon Brown

But he said the issue had perhaps received the wide coverage that it did because United was such a big club.
And he pointed to the cases of clubs like Chelsea, Manchester City, and AC Milan, where it is the owners who make key decisions "not the fans".

That'll be because those owners have put their own cash into the club to earn the right to make decisions.

"They are passionate about the club, they do understand sport," he added.

Bwhahahaha

Nice win for Arsenal in the end. Great goals by Nasri and (set up by) Arshavin. Arsenal and Munich make it though

Re: Football : Season 2009/2010
 

Pretty great goal by Robben to.

you know you are a bad team when Bendtnar gets a hattrick against you

Re: Football : Season 2009/2010
 

Wasn't expecting to win by 4 goals :D

Another sterling performance from donkey...hang on, was he even on the pitch?

Good to see the reception Beckham got. Nearly brought a tear to his eye.

I thought that was him looking at the scoreboard. ;)

Real Madrid got knocked out by Lyon as well :D

Re: Football : Season 2009/2010
 

I can only see 1 of 3 teams winning this year Barcelona, Man Utd, and the winner out of Chelsea v Inter. Sorry Arsenal but i just think against better quality opposition you will struggle. Still a fine win on Tuesday followed by last nights result, imagine what the odds where on them 2 results, a bet it was :eeek:

Re: Football : Season 2009/2010
 

I think if United can win it then Arsenal can win it. Although I suspect Chelsea or Barcelona. I wouldn't be too disappointed to go out in the next round or semis, so long as we can concentrate on the league in which I think we have a chance.

The advantage Arsenal have is what we have a good team but one on which there is little expectation.

Re: Football : Season 2009/2010
 

Going by the past few results between Arsenal and United/Chelsea i wouldn't say that's the case. I think it will be United or Barca, personally i think Chelsea will be fortunate to get through against Inter in the form they are in and with the injuries they have, especially defensively. They don't have enough to win the whole competition imo.
