Which football team one supports is a matter of choice not chance...

That would have been "MP's pay"...

Alex Goring Crook ‏@alex_crook Poch says Jack Cork and Victor Wanyama cannot play in the same team bur praised Cork's contribution since being restored to #saintsfc side

MP: Unlikely that any of the injured players will return this weekend, apart from maybe Morgan (who wouldn't be fit enough to last 90 minutes though). Will make a decision on Morgan tomorrow. He may play "a few minutes" or it may be better to leave him behind for extra training.

Press conference just started

Possibly the most sensible article written on the subject... http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/news/danhodges/100250334/there-is-no-good-time-to-raise-mps-pay-pick-a-bad-time-and-be-done-with-it/

Southampton FC ‏@SouthamptonFC Jay Rodriguez is currently speaking to the @premierleague ahead of this weekend's trip to #NUFC. #saintsfc pic.twitter.com/8hbTFbjEb3 Is it me or does JRod look about 12 years old in that shot...?!

Indeed. It's what is commonly known as 'an opinion'. I'll provide a footnote to this effect next time.

Southampton FC ‏@SouthamptonFC First Team training is underway at Staplewood #saintsfc https://vine.co/v/h2maI1A0liM

We can and I just did.

Not feeling the need to wave a flag and saying how wonderful we are on a given day of the year is a strength not a weakness.

It would seem that is our kit van rather than the Pompey bus.... the perils of copying stuff of the interweb....

That'll teach me to copy stuff off the interweb...

Mick Williams ‏@mickwill We had a bad day at the office, that's all. Remember, 'form is temporary, class is permanent' PUP #Pompey

These "kids" being a similar age to premier league players such as Shaw, Chambers, JWP, Reed....etc

Josh Coles ‏@joshiocolezio #SaintsFC fans must be so proud playing in a stolen stadium and spending a dead mans money against his families wishes....

...

Olly Birch ‏@ollybirchpfc Hope the scummers enjoy their 'play up Pompey' stickers that are on the seats that are still intact

That's because they were living beyond their means and fielding players they ultimately couldn't afford, leading to their eventual downfall via two administrations. Furthermore, that incarnation of 'Portsmouth Football Club' doesn't exist any more. This evening's result was on a level playing field (in more ways than one) and is therefore much more indicative of where we are respectively than any first XI result over the last 10 years. IMO of course
