Or years back from Procol Harum!

Bloody Hell!! I'm sure it is a Procol Harum tune!!!

I can hear it being sung in my head!!!

P.S. £6.75?

The lyrics man, it's all in the lyrics. for example.....

From France and Pretender
Great Britain defend her,
Foes let them fall;
From foreign slavery,
Priests and their knavery,
And Popish Reverie,
God save us all. ...

Frenchmen, Scots and Catholics ... you can't get much lower than that, eh God? ...

I think that this season's Championship league table needs to be preserved for prosperity given the reflective fortunes of the two clubs from Hampshire:-

to be fair, they have got off pretty lightly round here given their lamentable record on finance. (Kitson £19k a week, local charities still not paid from their first recent administration, despite promises).
and before anybody starts, the Super Saints have to repay another £7 m to aviva on their stadium debt, on promotion to the PL, as part of the administration settlement.

Re the league table, it would indeed make wonderful wall paper !!

A better wallpaper would be the final league tables from Prem, Champ, Div from your last year in the Prem through to now showing the relative rollercoastering of the two sides:
Positions in the hierarchy are:

Soton P'mouth
2004/05 20 16
2005/06 12 17
2006/07 26 9
2007/08 40 8
2008/09 43 14
2009/10 7 20
2010/11 46 36
2011/12 22 42

the 43 years leading up to 2005 would make a nice alternative. I won't trouble you with the details...........I think you can guess !!

Yes but it's where you are now that counts. Portmouth have been in admin 3 times now - is there a case for 3 strikes and out?
