Are those Vulcan ears?

I see where you're coming from but still disagree. Where is the logic in 'politician A' appearing on a television programme, the primary aim of which is to appeal to the audience to vote for their party, when c.90% of said audience can't do so? Given the SNP are a 'regional' party then they should appear on regional television so they can appeal to the majority of the viewers. Would Sturgeon pitching up at a hustings event in a village hall in Stratton-on-the-Fosse be any less logical? (ok, it would be slightly less logical as it's likely that 100% of the audience wouldn't be able to vote for the SNP rather than 90% of the TV audience....unless, of course, Stratton-on-the-Fosse is a tourist magnet for Scottish separatists at this time of year.) IMHO of course. p.s. the National Front fielded candidates in 17 seats at the 2010 General Election. The BNP would qualify at the 50% cut off though.....on second thoughts, maybe it should be a 75% threshold...!

When asked this question on the Andrew Marr show on Sunday, Sturgeon said it would be her because its a "party leaders" debate. (Or maybe I'm confusing her with that bonkers Green lady....easily done...) But, yes, agree, it would be even more illogical for someone who won't actually be a 'Westminster' politician taking part in 'Westminster' parliamentary debates.

Agree with that proposal. I don't see the logic in the likes of Sturgeon standing up on UK-wide TV saying to the audience "hey, vote for my party" when c.90% of the audience won't be able to do so. If a party has a candidate in more han 50% of seats across the UK then they should have a place on any TV debate show. I can't see a more logical solution than that.

Yep, this.

Or McQueen and Seager who combined again for the second goal

Yep, we did indeed "put out the reserves" against Sunderland in the FA Cup... 1 Davis 2 Clyne 23 Shaw 12 Wanyama 3 Yoshida 26 Hooiveld 16 Ward-Prowse (substituted for Schneiderlin at 62 minutes') 8 Davis 7 Lambert 20 Lallana (substituted for McQueen at 82 minutes') 21 Do Prado (substituted for Rodriguez at 62 minutes) #pompeymythology

So, Pompey are about to sack their most successful manager in over 5 years...? Marvellous.

People used to say that about the Lib Dems not too many years ago...

The only reason they still exist is because Sky's parachute money kept them afloat over the last 5 years. # Pompey fan selective memory klaxon #

Whatever Burnley have said previously, there is always a price that they would sell at. Hull City didn't want to sell Shane Long but "received an offer they couldn't refuse". Not saying it'll happen, but it wouldn't surprise me if it did.

Yep, this. (Tadic on the bench for me). Would like to see McQueen given some game time too.

Can always rely on this thread to cheer us up after a naff Saints result. Pompey. The tinpot gift that keeps giving.

'Arsehole of tha Day' award to Joe Ward for blowing kisses to the Northam End after crocking Long.

Just back from the game. We gave as good as we got in the first 10 minutes then went into "cup mode"...i.e. we took our foot off the gas whereas Palace looked threatening with every attack. It's game like this that remind us how much we miss Wanyama and Schneiderlin - without them we stand off attackers and constantly lose the midfield battles. That said, Long came on and we started to threaten. I feel we'd have got a result if he hadn't got injured. Haven't seen any post match reports yet so not sure what the injury was but my initial reaction was a cracked rib (?) Davis had an off day (too many stray passes) and Tadic was largely ineffectual and seemed disinterested at times. Too many of our through balls into the final 3rd kept finding one of their defenders rather than one of our strikers ( until Long came on). Elia probably our best player although didn't create much - it was "one of those games" all round. Crazy results elsewhere. And Spurs and Pompey lost..... every cloud.....

Hey, get your own catchphrase! Whatever next? Posting stills from Hollywood fantasy comedy movies?
