You'd have made a good Italian courtier in the Renaissance. Now where's my copy of The Prince..

It's not the effing travelling, it's the consequences for goodness sake. Like those Aberdeen players who went out to a crowded Saturday night bar in the centre: not illegal but stupid. Besides, it's not what you (or I) think, it's what your employers think and your contract says. There's lot's of things you might not think unreasonable behaviour, hence my slightly over-he-top comparison, but best not to test the point.

They could certainly advise you and tell you that you won't be paid if your behaviour is unreasonable. They can't stop you murdering your wife, for example, but would be able to sack you for the consequences. 😉 You might be able to work from Wormwood Scrubs instead of from home, but they'd still get you for bringing the company into disrepute: it's in loads of contracts!

It hasn't been very good today. This is the first time I've been able to get beyond the forum home page in fact.. As I type I've just tried on my phone and got a bad gateway message. Off to try an old ipad.. yep, bad gateway.. The above message was written earlier and copied, which was lucky as I got bad gateway when I tried to send it. It really is pretty unusable most of the time I'm afraid. Edit: but it did actually send. It's all very random.

Article in The Guardian, I presume..

It was an observation I made at the time, that he had a bit of a pot, to general agreement when it was pointed out. I'd also agree that Obafemi is another that seems less than professional both from RH's comments and from a poster's personal knowledge of him.

LOL. Drinking on a Monday night?

Hah! Step 7 in women's football plays at the local rec and if the mums, dads, boyfriends and girlfriends space out they could manage 10 metres between individuals! We're training in small groups and get our temperature checked before sessions. I think with everything to do with the situation it's a question of reducing risk. There will always be some, and the difficulty is weighing those risks up, particularly in the light of inadequate information. I read newspapers from Europe and was locking down well before this government had even woken up to the realisation that they had responsibilities..

I went on the OS to buy my season ticket as my credit card statement has just passed and saw the good news. It will be good news if I actually get to see many games, but what the heck..

Maidenhead United and Slough Town. That was a few years ago mind..

I think the question you should ask yourself is would you prefer KWP or Cedric to defend a cross to the back post? I've seen no lack of commitment by KWP at trying to get his head to the ball.

I'll be stakeholder if you like!

Is it that time of year again? My, doesn't time fly.

Perhaps we were subject to a Pompey Denial of service attack? Corp Ho with a pair of nips.. Seems ok this morning but has been unusable. Tweak away Steve!

For some reason seeing Harrogate in the league makes me think of away fans taking Betty's! I've been a few times to the town as a friend lived there and got the train to Leeds (I think) to watch Saints. It's not your typical gritty northern town so it'll be interesting to see how they do.

I used to kick a ball around with a lad from down my road when I was young and he was the only Brentford supporter I ever knew. Just had a quick look on-line - still going and now a cricket coach so I'll plump for Brentford for old times sake. Never did make it to those 4 pubs though..

I went along on a Sunday morning to watch a friend and got roped in to running the line. I gave a goal against my friend's team when the ball went over the line in a goalmouth scramble and the ref was unsighted. There was a massive shout of appeal and they all looked at me. I think everybody was a bit surprised when I pointed to the centre circle. My only ever MOTM! 🙂

I know Saints wanted to keep the KWP deal separate, or so it was reported, but perhaps we should link them if it gives us some leverage. We can then say to PEH: "well, we would have let you go but Mr Levy obviously didn't want you that much as he keeps making impossible demands"..

That was good. A table to myself at one of the village pubs and 4 pints. My consumption has rather been concentrated over the past few weeks but the diet starts now.. Renewing my season ticket is not such an issue now in terms of the football (the lockdown is another matter). I thought Che's goals were excellent: true strikers' goals. Romeu a revelation, Vestergard a constant worry but decent moments, Redmond best game in a while - got to the byline, a delicious nutmeg etc., Smallbone got some unwarranted grief in the match thread - he's young and inexperienced against a robust SU side but otherwise he possesses the basics to be a decent addition to the squad. I'd prefer to see JWP in a more advanced role, but everywhere he plays he's reliable. KWP must be bought if he can maintain that form. No sign of PEH but he can drop down to Everton if he wishes..:-) I appear to have some left over prosecco from last night. Any further posts may be less coherent..

Hmm, not sure I'd agree with this bit. Cost me a fortune over the years. At least three pints worth this afternoon alone, if I can get the pub to show Sky channel 145...

Ah, good point Mack. Social bubbles an' all that..

I must admit I'm f 'n worried..

Golf and Wales, I believe..
