sixvodkashots Posted January 22, 2004 Share Posted January 22, 2004 There are reports going around on our local message forums that Bill Gates will become a major investor in the English Premier League Football team Portsmouth. I hope this happens because Portsmouth is my team :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bayrider Posted January 22, 2004 Share Posted January 22, 2004 (edited) nope, but Paul Allen owns the Seahawks Edited January 22, 2004 by bayrider Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wannes Posted January 23, 2004 Share Posted January 23, 2004 It's good to see that Portsmouth will get some good players when Gates invests in them. They played pretty good this season I have to say. I love Sherringham. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sushubh Posted January 23, 2004 Share Posted January 23, 2004 so we are looking at another chelsea next season! Man Utd just bought Saha I heard... This is so going to rock! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wannes Posted January 23, 2004 Share Posted January 23, 2004 That hurts, I really didn't want them to buy him. He played so good at Fullham and it raised their chances. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sushubh Posted January 23, 2004 Share Posted January 23, 2004 well when the team is struggling to survive financially, the players are the only thing they have to sell. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love Sherringham:):) Its good to see our small club is being shown worldwide now we are in the Premier League I took a pic of Sherringham (on my camera phone) at the first home game of the season. He's a top bloke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jymi Posted January 23, 2004 Share Posted January 23, 2004 not much of a portsmouth fan but its good for the club if gates buys it and does an abromovich. saha is crap imo, buy kezman from psv! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sushubh Posted January 23, 2004 Share Posted January 23, 2004 buy henry if arsenal falls for any bid... that man is single handedly carrying arsenal on his shoulders... they are crap without him... btw was this sherringham chap in man utd? or am i mistaking him for someone else? :wacko: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jymi Posted January 23, 2004 Share Posted January 23, 2004 yer he was a bit untill his last few years. henry is the heart & soul of the arsenal attack, thats why they wont sell him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wannes Posted January 24, 2004 Share Posted January 24, 2004 IF they sell Henry, you will see Arsenal in the bottom of the table instead of the top. They can't afford that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sushubh Posted January 24, 2004 Share Posted January 24, 2004 perhaps if someone lure henry ;) but surprisingly he has been quiet loyal to the team... i dont believe madrid would not have approached him with an offer till now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Callaway Posted February 19, 2004 Share Posted February 19, 2004 hahaha...maybe paul was talking to little billy recently about how his seahawks just missed the playoffs. so little billy thought, wow, owning a pro football team sounds like fun! I'm going to buy one. Ohh look! Pro football team in Portland...I bet I can play my team against Paul's team!!! Except poor little Billy probably got the U.S. use of the word football confused with the rest of the world's use of the world football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
longwilli Posted February 19, 2004 Share Posted February 19, 2004 Not that I am a Chelsea supporter but Bill isn?t rich enough, Roman Abramovitch is sticking 100's of millions into the club and I cant see Bill doing the same. BTW Arsenal for the title this seaso:):) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
