    The number 2 'must have' arabian fashion accessory is a football club.Still got a way to go though before it knocks the Gucci sandal into second place.

    Surely there are better clubs to invest in than Pompey? The ground is shit, the training ground is shit, sounds like they're in a bit of debt and alot of there team are getting on a bit.

    I don't see the attraction?

    Especially with Southampton just down the road.

    nice stadium
    cracking youth setup
    cheaper as now in L1

    does seem a strange one - without this I think Pompey will be dropping down a division or 2 in the next 5 years

    So the Arab peeps that have just brought Pompey are from Dubai -----------------would this be the same Dubai that Zebeel come from ? the same Dubai who we were told wasnt allowing outside investment, therefore thats why Zebel with drew their offer ???????????????

    GH, it wasn't that Dubai weren't allowing outside investment, just that Zabeel were choosing to concentrate their investments at home for the moment.

    does a few surprises translate to "brown envelopes" in the past perhaps!
