They show the Pompey derby last season (the Will Still one i think) and they are showing it again next month.

I don't want to ladle on too much pressure but winning this game will be season defining. If we win we will be as good as "top" but for the deduction. Which sends a massive message to the rest of the league. Lose or draw, and we just look a bit adrift in the sludge of mid table.

I said "there are restrictions" and there are. It's not two provincial cities it's London you sap.

400 old bill, major operation in dispersal orders across huge area, controlled entrance/exits round some of the tube stations. Get over it, it's London not two completely separate cities 20 miles apart. You can't do a bubble on the London Underground.

There are restrictions.

The point is that all those clubs can't all win.

If he was meant to be seen why didn't Tonda just say "yes that was us, we did it, he was meant to be seen" as soon as it came up?

I don’t think anyone except Saints fans gives a flying fuck that we beat gigantic Millwall and Swansea in late August/early September. What media coverage were you expecting for that?

The quote in the linked article says this "Seven officers were treated at the scene for injuries, but no-one in attendance was seriously hurt" So well done on trying to be a clever cunt but guess what, you're full of shit.

I'm not talking about fans on social media.

All correct apart from the Middlesbrough bit. They won't say anything like that. They got the punishment they wanted and for them it's over.

Probably zero backlash. The world has moved on. The most likely "backlash" would be from a particularly punitive punishment because the external consensus now will be that we've been punished enough. Like others have said: if it's supposedly bad enough for a year ban why on earth has he been allowed to start the season? He's getting punished but I expect comparable to a player that has lamped someone - six games or something.

Oooooh lovely

BBC Radio Bristol are supposed to be biased. Solent also saying it is not really a 4-1 game.

When Tonda comes back to work next September he will be inheriting a really strong team 👍
