I liked the fact that he also replied to that question with: " I'll do the same that West Ham are doing to prepare for our great free kick takers like JWP and Tadic" (words to that effect)

Definitely an odd omission. Unless he's pencilled in for the squad vs West Ham, which would be even odder.

No Gardos then...

It's the best way to travel, as this rare still from CCTV camera footage in 30 A.D. testifies...

Current ticket availability: Probably need to book up fairly swiftly to get desired seats.

He'll only miss one more league game after this weekend in that 3+ weeks though.

Puel: "JRod has a groin injury but should be back after the international break and perhaps also Boufel will be ready then"

Official Pompey twitter account in selective memory shocker... Good to see they still think digging out the David Norris goal video (yet again) is somehow an act of one-up-man-ship.

Thick as mince. #tinpot

I hope the club will clarify what counts as a nut and what doesn't. Better safe than sorry.

Do peanuts count? They are a legume not a nut (part of the Fabaceae plant family), although I guess they could be considered to be a seed?
