Of course the really interesting domestic match in the offing is now Doncaster Rovers v Leeds United! Mind you the Sky commentator overdid things slightly this evening when comparing Rovers' play against Carlisle favourably to Barcelona..ahahaha>:D<


(And yes, he did mean the football club not the LL tapas bar :)))

Aye - Charity shield here we come - here's a fact. When we have played that game we will have played at Wembley more times than any other team apparently!!


I think we'll see a different Pompey run out at Wembley in August though! Lot's of players coming in over the summer I expect. For now though, I am going to enjoy this feeling. Was the third best day of me life yesterday - coming a close third to getting married and my son being born! Been supporting Pompey since before I can remember. Born and bread! I am fooking elated today!!!!! (and drunk again!)

Well done Ratty nice to congratulate a true fan of a proper club rather than one of the plastic big 4 supporters - true story, a few years ago when Arsenal were playing in one of the gazziliion Cup finals they've been in in the last 15 years I was out in Brighton at about 3.30 pm on Cup final day and there, with no shame, was a bloke wandering along the front leisurely hand in hand with his girlfriend with an Arsenal shirt on,,,,,,yup, i'd miss the cup final but wear my shirt to show what a great supporter I am. Plastic twats.

I pretty much agree quids! Best thing about this final was 2 sets of passionate fans. Cardiff lot were by & large a treat to meet even if they did not bring our clock back! (Stolen by them from Fratton in the 80s!)


Great day - wish I could have driven down to Pompey for the parade today but I have been over the limit for the last 48 hours!

Just seen this on the BBC sports website


Lassana Diarra has a gentleman's agreement with Portsmouth that he can quit Fratton Park if one of European football's big clubs come knocking. (Daily Mail, 1112 BST)


Kinda tells you why Chelsea & The Arsenal were keen to off load him. Obviously the man has an over-inflated view of his own worth.

Diarra came to Pompey so he could transfer to Spurs as Arsenal would not sell him their directly - this was agreed as part of the Defoe deal. However, Spurs have to renogotiate a price. Lassina will be worth a small fortune after Euro 2008 compared to the price that PFC bought him. Shame cos I would love him to stay but I do not think Uefa will be enough to keep him playing at Fratton Park.


Watch out for Niko at Euro 2008 too. Arsenal are gonna waste ?12m on him so I have been told.


Ratty - rolling with the 6.57 for one last time!

Lubos Michel, who ruled Luis Garcia's effort had crossed the line when Liverpool knocked Chelsea out of the Champions League before winning it in 2005, will referee the game in Moscow. He has since said of the Jose Mourinho-dubbed 'ghost goal': "If my assistant referee had not signalled a goal, I would have given a penalty and sent off keeper Petr Cech." (The Daily Telegraph)


Have that Jose! >:D<


Wonder how much Ferguson bunged UEFA, so he would ref this game. ;-)

That is a point everyone has always been very quick to forget about that goal incident, we could have ended up a man and a goal up!


Anyway, biggest concern has to be the pitch, heard the "super groundsman" on the radio this morning and he said it will be playable, but he is disgusted about the state of it! Think it'll suit Chelsea more.

I said exactly the same thing. I'll bet his 6 month sentence actually means 3 and he'll be back playing again in August.

If you were a non plastic fan you'd be on your way to Moscow right now. ;-)

I just hope it will be a high scoring game (which it probably won't) and an entertaining game (I've said this before haven't I). I certainly wouldn't want a repeat of last year's FA Cup final which was so boring I nearly died of boredom before Drogba scored with close range toe poke in the dying minutes. Again, I don't really care who wins but I am going to be watching the game in the pub with a couple of friends one of which is a long time Chelsea fan, i.e he supported them when they were pants.

Fair enough Sandperson - extenuating circumstances and all that....


This is another reason why I never want to have kids.


I reckon it will be the dullest game in history, which is why I intend to go to the pub and get rat arsed. Work are taking us out and I intend to take full advantage of the free booze. :)-D (Drown my sorrows)


In an ideal world, I would have just taken off from Warsaw on the last part of my journey to Moscow. Boo hoo :(

      Thames Water - water meters

      By Sue · Posted

      I think probably the OP is still on the old non metered system if they haven't actually signed up to the meter which was installed? If so,  the amount of water used won't affect their bill. As posted above, water bills in this area have gone up/will go up (not sure which) by more than 30%, so that would be a big increase regardless of a meter, if I've understood it correctly. I think we are paying for the privatisation of Thames Water and their greed and inefficiency, basically, but what would I know?

      Lost mainly black and white cat

      By Claudia-Woodward · Posted

      Please could people look out for Bubble, our mainly black, and white, cat, who is a total homebody but hasn’t been seen all day. We’re on the mini roundabout of Rosendale/Turney and Dalkeith roads, if you could please check any sheds etc we’d be really grateful. He’s 12 now and a bit deaf so may have got injured or disorientated. Any news please call Claudia on 07776 303 418, thank you.

      Thames Water - water meters

      By ctovey · Posted

      There are 2 of us in our house. A few weeks after we had a water meter installed and before we received our first bill, TW told us that we should be paying £70 per month to ensure we did not go into arrears. We refused to change our DD and carried on paying £40 per month.  When we eventually received our first metered bill, our usage was only about £25 per month and we were, in fact well in credit!  Also, only receiving a bill every 6 months is not very helpful, as we find it very difficult to keep tabs on what we are spending.
