Statutory demands are curious documents which have caused some degree of controversy in recent
months in the world of debt recovery. They are served under the Insolvency Act of 1986 and are the
first step in the process of petitioning somebody's bankruptcy or issuing a winding up order
against a company.

In light of the fact that United had a Carling Cup tie last night, which was won comfortably
enough, but was overshadowed by a good ol' college-style food-fight, BigFourZa shall not review the
match in protest, to express our solidarity with the 1 Billion people in the world who go hungry
every day (seriously).

Still sitting with a donut in the points column, Pompey are in desperate need of some points. It
seems as though everybody myself included has written them off already. I just published an
article earlier this week about how they are definitely being relegated this season. Do I think
they are going to get zero points over the course of the whole season, though?

Did you miss the Champions League group stage action last night? Not to worry: we've compiled a
short montage of the key moments.
And by key moments, we mean gratuitous shots of men focused on doing their jobs as professional
athletes that we have turned into cheap tawdry moments of objectification for our own
entertainment.

Lyn goalkeeper Tyrel Lacey says that the threat of bankruptcy for the storied Oslo club will do
nothing to hinder the squad's focus on the field.

Chelsea may have just been handed a controversial transfer ban for illegally signing an under-18
player, but that's not stopping them from using their money to buy more under-18s. This time,
though, Chelsea are doing things right - not only do the Blues have the blessings of their new
signing's club, but Croatian club Inter Zapresic say that Chelsea have saved them from financial
failure.

British Empire
Big Story
In the wake of England's rather lackluster display against Slovenia, Simon
Barnes explores why we English still expect to win: "Football is the Last Empire." Barnes writes
that in all other sports, the English have given up any expectancy of dominance.

We interrupt this fantasy football blog for an entirely unrelated thought...
I was caught off-guard this morning by an email from Microsoft and it has me really sort of stunned
that people still talk about the Internet as a new thing. I was innocently scanning emails in my
Hotmail account when I came across one that thanked me for 10 YEARS as a "customer" (hard to really
consider myself as a customer of something that's free but I suppose they make money off of me so I
guess I am).

These are the days when clubs have to register for next season and when we find out which clubs
don't have the necessary funds to compete next season. Yesterday, we learned about Pisa's
unfortunate fate, and today, two more famous clubs have announced they will have to go bankrupt and
start from scratch in Serie D.

Dublin may soon be without a big time employer.
Setanta Sports is struggling to make a £3m installment to the SPL for TV rights. The deadline
is tomorrow. The following week an even bigger sum of £35m is needed to payoff the Barclays
Premier League.
It looks increasingly likely that Setanta will declare bankruptcy unless negotiations for an
ESPN buyout succeed or some sort of overall contract restructuring takes place with the
leagues.

Ahnold might not be able to save California from bankruptcy but he might be able to sway Sepp
Blatter and FIFA in the USA's World Cup bid. After all, who can say no to someone who is going to
save the world from Skynet. Yeah, and that new Terminator movie needs a Schwarznegger recall or is
that just for Gray Davis?

Sad news today from Seeqpod. They are being sued by several music labels and have filed bankruptcy.
Though the CEO says they are just moving servers and are in talks with a major Apple competitor I
don't think its going to happen. That's pretty sad, Seeqpod had to be my favorite web app ever.
Well to cheer us up here is a Youtube documentary about a hippy school teacher who recorded a 70s
rock album with his kids:

I haven't written much about one of my favorite teams, Southampton. But if you haven't heard things
are looking dire for the right now. With 2 games left they're on they need at least a win and tie,
and really 2 wins, to have a chance at avoiding relegation to League One (division 3). That in
itself is pretty bad.

A £100m infusion of cash from one of their major investors gives a boost to the troubled Irish
TV giants.
They have lost out to Rupert Murdoch's Sky Sports who have taken over their Premiership
broadcast business. The SPL too is renegotiating its deal as they are worried that they may lose
substantial amounts of money with Setanta potentially facing bankruptcy.

AIG sponsorship of Man Utd in jeopardy
AIG is in a financial mess and is asking the Feds to pony up a $40 billion loan to stave off
credit agencies downgrading its stock which will bring it a step closer to bankruptcy or to the
preferred takeover. With the Feds deciding against bailing out Lehman Brothers and leaving the
company to file for bankruptcy, there is no sure bet that AIG's lifeline will be met.

Later in this post, we detail for our subscribers how the fix was perpetrated, minute by minute on

As for the rest of you freeloaders, at least you know that the match was rigged.

After the initial announcement just over a month ago, the day Racing Club fans had been waiting for
