It's that time of year again....hatching plans for summer holidays... High up on the list of options this year is a Mediterranean cruise.... Any advice on this subject matter gratefully received (best cruise liner companies?, ones to avoid?, best routes?, fly to departure point or sail from Southampton? etc) We'll have two teenagers in tow (aged 13 and 16) so obviously need to keep them entertained. I've avoided cruises in the past because I have this preconception (misconception...?) that they are "Butlins on water" so any options that avoid the riff raff without breaking the bank too much is probably what I'm looking for! Cheers

Yep. Wouldn't surprise me if he starts ahead of Guly either.

I hope MLT realises how many online polls we've rigged for him over the years #welovehimreally

My train had the aircon chucking out cold air this morning.... the guard was a woman though so maybe the controls were too difficult to work out.... #womenknowyourlimits

Indeed....a good example of how sacking a manager can improve a team's performance.... (btw, officially he wasn't "sacked" by Espanyol per se, it was a mutually agreed termination of contract.....but that's probably propaganda too....)

@pn_neil_allen: Busy week at #Pompey. Shaun Cooper in on loan from Crawley, Alex Grant loaned to Hawks and new deals offered to Ertl and Russell. Yeah, Saints' busy week pales into insignificance compared to the exciting happenings at Pompey this week....

Simon Peach ‏@SimonPeach I understand talk of Coutinho to #SaintsFC is wide of the mark. Interest in summer but Ramirez came in. Sounds as if agent is playing games.

You appeared to be criticising someone's unqualified praise for a piece of prose and then you appeared to offer unqualified praise for another piece of prose yourself. That was the comparison I was trying to make, although concede I may be borderline comparing apples with oranges. Anyhow, just an unconstructive observation on my part so I apologise.

Coutinho not in Inter Milan squad tonight....however... @tancredipalmeri: For all those asking (I believe Liverpool and Southampton fans) Coutinho not playing (since a while) because injured. Nothing to do w talks

What happens to the above analysis if you replace "good article" with "top top post"...?

Yeah, but Farmery indicated on the Webchat that it is just a formality and he fully expects the judge to rubber stamp the extension. This is Pompey - they'll come out of admin when they want....

Pardon?

Talking of predictable things...

Yep, don't you just hate it when people say or write predictable things....
