Progress on HS2. But apparently we care so much that we need to wear shirts about it, and we're all waiting for the day that someone comes out and announces they're homosexual so we can...actually, i'm not really sure why we need someone to do that.

For half a second I thought you were being serious when I looked at the shirt, but it isn't actually in there.

I'll never forget the predictions on how many Skacel was going to bang in in this league. Some people genuinely thought he was going to get 30+.

Christmas day armistice wouldn't happen, Germans would kick the ball to our trench and Bazunu would let it fly right past him.

Things have been crap. But I always hate the "we're a joke, we're a laughing stock" etc narrative. Nobody else, except Pompey, cares.

I get the feeling that Martin is trying to replicate Peps style without understanding why they do certain things that they do.

Yeah, bringing your best players into the team when it's struggling is a crazy idea.

Gone unnoticed (by me at least) is that we've conceded more goals than anyone else in the league. Damning stat now the goals are starting to dry up.

Well then sack him, let the coaching staff train them and let the fans pick the team/squad/tactics via a poll. Genuinely think we'd do better

How's the Leicester and Leeds project going? Why should we put up with this when others in the same situation are doing so much better?

Got to go now surely.

Wonder what odds you would get on no clean sheets the entire season.

I wouldn't be against giving Bree a chance there.

Holgate can't be as bad as his debut showed.

We're not gonna have to go through the whole season with AArmstrong unstoppable and Edozie and Sulemana being dropped over and over? Surely?

Dropped Edozie.

England ladies nearly 1-0 up against the Auld enemy tonight.

...sorry? Isn't the registration window now closed until january?

So the only positive of Martins style of play is that easy to nullify right at the start of the season. Brilliant.

Has he actually said something hinting at this? I avoid his press conferences as they only wind me up.

Cheers for the suggestions gents. Venice has never really interested me but i'll look into all the others mentioned. Enough there that I might look at train routes and do a tour.

Any recommendations? Always wanted to do Rome and Florence but other than that know nothing about Italy.

That Hapoel trip got me in trouble at work even though I didn't end up going. I'd only just started working for the prison service at an Immigration Detention centre and I got flagged up on their computer system for searching for flights to the middle east, they thought I was being radicalised.

The crack along that canal was great, Saints fans swarming both sides of it completely filling out the bars and restaurants, seeing Benalis face plastered everywhere, gorgeous sunshine and great Italian food and drink. Might have to go back to Milan now.

If he were playing in the A.Armstrong role of the CM further forward I could see him being effective, however as one of the two deeper ones absolutely not.
