Cheers... Just wish I'd gone for the 'Pompey fan shagging his sister' analogy instead though...

Isn't the 'measure' of a discretion more about expectation vs reality though? It's almost expected of the 'nasty' Tories that they'll do dodgy stuff, ergo it's not very surprising when it happens. Conversely, the more 'moral' Labourites are perhaps considered a paragon of virtue, ergo when they transgress it's obviously going to feel worse than when the Tories do/did the same. It's a bit like comparing a scouser shoplifting Vs the Pope shoplifting... Same crime but the Pope is obviously going to attract more flak... (Other dubious analogies are available) In other words, Labour supporters should treat any 'over reaction' as a compliment, as it's merely a reflection of the superior morals that they espouse

Weren't MSD Holdings in the takeover frame at some point? (The investment company we ended up getting a loan from) I have a vague memory of people getting excited at the time because of the link with Dell...

People with different viewpoints disagreeing with eachother. Whoda thought it? Always good entertainment for us born again fence-sitters though...

"Vagina headed fraud" 😂

That could of course indicate that Jelert is crap rather than Caspar being good... (Saintsweb posters: putting a negative slant on observations since 2006)

Looks like we're recalling Suga for this one, according to the geniuses in the ITV social media department...

One good thing about the timing of this game is PCFC won't have a clue what our formation and starting 11 will be either

There's no argument as far as I'm concerned...

If he ends up being as productive as Vardy then I'll happily take the nob part (not literally, obviously...)

Yep, this. What's the point of playing by the rules if the punishment is that meaningless?

Yeah, fair point 👍🏻

I was about to agree with that line-up but then I thought: why would Still revert to 4 at the back when the majority of the starting 11 is utilising non-newbies, given he's been reluctant to do so up to now...? I'm also leaning towards a starting 11 that doesn't give too many of the newbies their debut in such a 'volatile' game but, logically, that would probably mean sticking to the 3/5 at the back formation we've deployed this far, which nobody likes.... Decisions, decisions....!

Yep, agree. Aribo is a very good 'utility' player at this level 👍🏻

Good shout 👍🏻

Yep, agree that would be brave. As would significantly changing the formation and/or starting personnel in a 'must win' game. Which is 'braver' than the other? We'll only know for sure when the final whistle blows, of course...

I can sea some logic in that....

In my capacity as official forum fence sitter, I can see the pros and cons of both approaches. Both have risks and potential benefits and it's a difficult balancing act between too much change and not enough. And that's why I'm a spectator and Will Still is a manager

Fernandes wasn't exactly prolific for us either (2 goals, 4 assists), although his achievements were obviously stunted by the quality of his team mates and managers....
