This bit might be slightly interesting: I assume by this they mean the likes of Man Utd and Man City would have been prevented playing in London in the opening few weeks of the season....so, could this one off "obstacle" in computing the fixtures have contributed, in part, to us getting 3 of the top 4 teams in our opening games, and thus we can blame our poor start, in part, on the Olympics...? It must have increased the chances of us (and other lower profile non-London teams) drawing the higher profile teams early on.... Excuse me while I think out loud, won't you....

Their financial year-end is coming up (30th June) whereby they are duty bound to file their current financial position to Companies House. Could be interesting (from an obsessed nutjob perspective)

@OliverCooper: EU car sales in May: France down 10.4%, Germany down 9.9%, Italy down 7.9%, Spain down 2.9%, but United Kingdom UP 11%. #SpotTheOddOneOut

In the UK... It was reported on a Spanish website a few days before...

@SpursOfficial: RCD Espanyol visit the Lane pre-season http://t.co/zkAzWDuLzj Book your tickets NOW #THFC

Will be interesting to observe whether their fans "get it", or not, as the season progresses...

There's 13 days between now and then (1st July). Any chance of a not so subtle hint as to what date we'll know...?

Why is young Alex a week behind everyone else?

@pn_neil_allen: Worth bookmarking this #Pompey story and referring to it on day Holmes signs and other L2 fans start whinging! http://t.co/rKXRW059gt

@tomdearie: Really struggle with some people's thinking when it comes to Pompey. Here's a good example, I just don't get it? http://t.co/D7hwrALxQm

@SouthamptonFC: Gaston Ramirez named in the Uruguay starting XI for their #Confeds Group B game against Spain. Kick off in Recife is at 11pm BST. #saintsfc

Competition is healthy. As Monk says, Pompey have moaned and groaned about this. We're much bigger and better than them and shouldn't need to react in such a tinpot and amateurish way.

As late on as the 10th game...? #optimistic

People are only "trolls" if they get a reaction...

Poortvliet?

I preferred the days where dodgy bankers were handed knighthoods by the Labour Party

60 bites. Good effort.
