I mean, the reason Dobbin, Mubama, Edozie, Fellows, Roerslev, Abbott and Welington don't start is because the player ahead of them in their position is the obvious best choice. All of them would walk into over half the sides in the championship.

I'd completely forgotten that they dropped all the way to league two. So close to dropping out of the football league altogether, what a shame.

I think we'll see a surprise start for Abbott.

Very small point I just remembered from the game that I found interesting, in the 2nd half the second freekick that we got Manning was lining up to take it and Stephens was yelling at him to let JWP take it, looked mightily pissed off. Think Manning has got a little big headed about his free kicks.

So at the end of one person's career it will be the first paragraph of their obituary, but at the end of the other person's career it will be forgotten? Even on a day like today you can't help but be a contrarian, argumentative, sanctimonious cunt can you.

It's unlikely to haunt Tonda. Does everyone splutter over their words to mention spying whenever Bielsas name comes up? Nope.

But does emphasise what makes it so special, so few league meetings in such a long time. Imagine trying to get hyped for the North London or Merseyside derby where you play each other every season and you've got a dozen wins in the last 20 years.

Mad really. That's why the fixture means so much, when a win is so rare.

Is that the first win for either side in a league meeting since 2005?

-4 who gives a fuck!

Christ he's only just retired? Those goals against Pompey were 14 years ago!

It was, but I did think at around 85 that Azaz could do with coming off for Mubama, he was dead on his feet and Pompey were pushing so high in every position that just pumping the ball down the line for Mubama to chase would have been an excellent out option. But, hard to criticise when it worked.

Not enough to counter the fact that Adams deserved it.

Just watched a replay of it, don't think there was enough contact really.

Ah that one, yeah I didn't see a red card there at all but obviously in the ground you don't get the benefit of replays.
