Having his medical now, if anyone's interested.
:tumbleweed:
Well I predict that with all their new signings we won't see the best of Portsmouth for the first 10 games at least. I hope we play them early in the season.

All the nice boys love a sailor and lots of other jokes about Judas's aleged sexuality.
thats the most obvious moneymove since anyone goesto chelsea.....bet you he is on a fortune.....prob not far off 100k.....its a big coup for them
To be honest if the only foreign move available was to Turkey i can see why he has done it. I have to say I'm surprised an Italian team weren't in for him. I think he could do well there.

I get the impression Sol is all about money. He got stupid wages when he moved free from Spurs to Arsenal. I think he was the highest Prem earner for a while after that move.
I think he's "only" getting 40k a week at Pompey.

How will he survive!
I've no ill-feeling towards Sol Campbell, but I must admit to smirking at hearing the news he's going to end up with Harry Redknapp's has-beens at fcukin Portsmouth, after his endless protestations that he'd like "to try himself in Serie A or La Liga" cos he felt his "game would be suited to those leagues".
Enjoy Fratton Park Sol, you big depressed mincer.

its cool Ryan, i just have a friend who suffers from depression....its very sad to see. I hope no one you love ever has to deal with it.
Oh the Ryno part is just an aussie thing. Its not bad, just a colloquial nickname for people called Ryan.:handshake:
(Unfortunately) I know loads of Aussies, and not of them has ever referred to me as 'Ryno'.

whereabouts are they from? Australia is alot like England/Ireland with the slang....it differs depending on region.
Its more of a footy/cricket club sort of nickname. Their was a aussie rules player called Ryan O' Conner...nicknamed Ryno for obvious reasons.
Melbourne mostly.
You're right; "Australia is a lot like England/Ireland."

Yes, if you put to one side the comedy, fashion, nightlife, music, arts, culture, literature and architecture, then I would agree, they are almost identical.

ahh OK whatever you say my almighty lord of all things worldly:whatever:
The arts, culture and literature part is very true....That shits all over Australia's. Architecture...dont flatter yourselves, im an architect. I wasnt that impressed by alot of the stuff i saw. Melbourne has nicer buildings IMO. Music, thats depends what you like. If you listen to top 40 then yeah Australia hasnt got much...but that doesnt mean much to me. Melbourne has a massive music scene, we get the same bands that play in London.
Fashion....what? you mean chavs wearing Burberry? We have the same boutiques etc that you have their. We even have a Ben Sherman store *WOW*.
Nightlife..well im not really able to comment on that, i didnt really go out much in London, if i went into Central London it was usually to go see the theatre. But i wouldnt be surprised if London had better nightlife....your population is much bigger than ours.
and last but not least 'comedy'. Ok yeah England has some great comedians no doubt about it....they still spend the summer over here though:cool:
dont flatter yourself. Yeah London is great, but its not THAT great. Many cities have caught up;)

Ahh yeah, and your point? Theres also alot of Saffies in London too.
Bondi beach is swamped with Poms and Paddies. Byron Bay is practically run by backpackers (:grr: ) A common sight on Fraser Island is a Troop Carrier full of British backpackers on its side because they dont know how to drive on sand.:D
It like that here aswell mate.

Yes, but some of our buildings are more than 20 years old.
As for your Ben Sherman comment, well, I'll let that speak VOLUMES about Australian Fashion.
When it comes to bars, clubs, nightlife, youth culture etc, you're in the dark ages.

I was on the phone to a prospective employer from Melbourne one early morning last week about work over there.
We'd gone through the job description, remuneration, expectancy, all the rest, and I thought I'd ask him about any extra benefits or incentives.
"We're only 2 minutes walk from the bus stop" was the fcuker's reply.

Why do you bother?

the Ben Sherman comment was a piss take my friend.:o Hence the *WOW* as in We "even" have one of those. Melbourne is a very fashionable city mate, comparable to London. The rest of Australia's major cities are different. I know London has great fashion, but so does Melbourne...have you actually been to Melbourne?
I agree with you on the nightlife;) Theres no need to harp on about it.
Your buildings have history, something that unfortunately Australia (as a newer country) does not have. But in relation to modern buildings Melbourne has the edge.

Did I miss anything?

What, like Kangaroo-throwing?
New Zealand tear them apart in rugby, fcuking England beat them at Cricket, they're gash at football, and bar one or two decent swimmers, they've no really good athletes.
Unless you're counting "being good" at Aussie Rules... ?
Ultimately though all our teams are good for a year then shit for the rest of history. See our Rugby team, the cricket team this year. Australia also beat us in the last football match between the nations.
Rugby league is another sport they whip us at.
No idea what being good at Aussie Rules might entail.

We will absolutley fucking smash you lot when your out here during the summer. Bank on it!
Its funny how all of a sudden 20 years of floggings go out the window when you win a series.:crackoff:
We have a couple of decent swimmers do we Ryan? We could race our second stringers and still streak it in ahead of the Poms.
How many medals did we get at the Commonwealth Games? I hate the bloody comp...but we wiped the floor with all of you.
Ahh good ol Rugger, you have to resort to looking at our results against the All blacks:shake: They are the best....they would beat the hell out of any team at the moment. England dont look to good without Jonnie kicking his little drop goals do they:D
Last time we played England in football i seem to remember us winning 3-1...in London. Id fancy our chances against Ireland aswell;)
face the facts! We dominate all of you (Britains) at sport.
Aussie Rules players are genuine athletes, more so than footballers and rugby players. I'd suggest you leave this, because you clearly have no idea abou this game.
I'm not British, so I gave up on the majority of your argument there.
And as for your Australians being so ace at Aussie Rules, well that's why all of our clubs are shelling out fortunes to bring teenage Irish Gaelic footballers over there on four year contracts isn't it?

Point of order: we bring up swimming because we don't fucking CARE. The only swimmer I know is Karen Pickering, and I only know her because I've knobbed her cousin.
As for yer genuine athletes who play Aussie Rules, well fine. I don't WANT to know anything about the game. I know all I want to: it's played by snarling throw-backs in tight shorts with appalling haircuts.
Now rack off.

I know your not British. I didnt feel it necessary to mention Ireland....We all know that your shite at everything bar Potato sack racing;)
Out of all the players currently playing in the AFL there are a whopping 3 players from Ireland. Tadgh Kennelly (he is very good), Setanta O' Halpin (shite), and another who is just as shite as Setanta. Thats it!
I must say this thread is very funny.

Bothered.
As Brendan mentioned; It's a sport for big dumbass bat-eaters. Not quite football, not quite boxing. Just a mesh of big, burly retards in tanktops slobbering over each other and a 'ball' fashioned out of loads of rubber bands. While being egged on by 80,000 fools gullible enough to sit in some sweatbox guzzling down piss-weak Fosters, and beating their wives.
It's not even a sport.

that was a pissweak response by the way.:whatever:
I had a BBQ with some aussies the other weak who claimed that they occassionally drank Fosters at home and it was worse than the stuff we have here. I was shocked an appalled that you treat your own citizens so inhumanely.
Ultimately a fosters is best thought of as half a snakebite.

Four X?

It's really quite illuminating how much a nation derives it's identity from the beer it drinks.
You flaming GALLAH.
Face it, apart from beer, weather, some esoteric sports and an endearingly colonial approach to race relations, you've got fuck all in your proverbial kit-bags.

ahh so your a fan of our 'home and away':sigh:
Those beers that youve mentioned are the cheapest nastiest brews that we have. We have much better stuff, with better names eg: Coopers Pale/Sparkling Ale, James Boags premium, Crown Lager, Cascade. Try any one of these and your opinion may change.

Signed and sealed. "Want to go abroad" my arse Campbell. :whatever:
Portsmouth have completed the signing of former Arsenal defender Sol Campbell on a free transfer.
Campbell, who had a medical at Fratton Park earlier on Monday, agreed to a two-year contract with Pompey.
Arsenal released the 31-year-old centre-back in July because he wanted a new challenge.
Campbell, who spent five years at Highbury, also attracted interest from Newcastle, while Manchester City denied they made a late move for the player.
His decision to have considered a move to the south coast surprised Gunners manager Arsene Wenger.
"I have no regrets," Wenger said of his choice to release the player. "But it is a big surprise to me because he cancelled his contract to go abroad.
"Have you sold Portsmouth to a foreign country? No."
Redknapp is looking to partner Campbell with either Manchester City's Sylvain Distin or Blackburn's Ryan Nelsen.
Portsmouth are particulalry keen on Distin, who is in the last year of his contract at Manchester City and would cost around £4m.
He has also tendered a bid for New Zealand international Nelsen, although it has been rebuffed by Blackburn boss Mark Hughes.
The Pompey boss has also made an approach to Manchester City for England keeper David James.
Campbell announced at the end of last season that he was leaving the Gunners to seek "a new challenge" after five years with the London club.
He made 197 appearances for the Gunners and won five major trophies after joining the club from arch rivals Tottenham in 2001.
