The Maltese verdict.... It all turned when Long went off. We looked like we could hang on to the 1-0 until last 20 mins. Bit of a downer on a great long weekend on the best island in the Mediterranean bar none
I'm currently in Valletta, Malta. Anyone know any bars that will be showing premier league football today? The locals are giving me some strange looks when I ask about somewhere to watch the Southampton game.
Long shot but cheers!

#BarnetFC had 2557 fans at the game and 1330 were us #pompey fans. And they beat us. Wow . #tinpot
They don't appear to be clever enough to realise what this means in reality.... the mighty Portsmouth are themselves so tinpot and irrelevant these days that even Barnet fans are ambivalent to turning up to watch them.

I'm still undecided on which way to vote and there's a likelihood that won't change between now and polling day.
However, I'm not undecided because I haven't given it enough thought - On the contrary - my state of indecision is possibly more as a result of giving it 'too much' thought. In that I see a fairly balanced set of pros and cons with either eventuality.
So, what should I do on polling day? Abstain, because that is the best reflection of my 'balanced' view, or should I choose one option for the sake of choosing an option?
Sometimes its not easy being a pragmatist...
I can imagine the bilge that Allen & co will spew out if/when they end up in a Wembley playoff final. It would give rise to a worldwide facepalm shortage, that's for sure
Yep, agree with all that. However, I think Mr Bateman makes a reasonable underlying point. i.e. what harm would it do to schedule the game at the outset for the Sunday regardless?
The only reason I can think for not going for such a common sense approach is that Sky want as few non-TV games on the Sunday as possible in order to maximise their viewer numbers. What over reason could there be?
P.s. As an aside, I'm actually quite surprised it wasn't selected for Sunday broadcast by Sky anyway
And, to complete the set, one from Gardos...
