Great goal! Tadic magical set up

Far too early for euphemisms on the match thread

Wow!,

Sorry....Pompey maths is contagious

Did you ask Mordaunt if the government has managed to plug the £50m tax hole left behind by Pompey yet?

Cheers Monk. Are Arsenal still sniffing around Slattery?

My comment was attempting to highlight that some people seem to think that making "4 or 5 changes" is a negative thing to do in principle. What you've highlight is correct: People will always say: "Changes were a good thing" if we win, but "changes were bad thing" if we lose, regardless of the fact that we could make zero changes and the could be exactly the same (not that we'd ever know). To me, we should judge changes on their merit before the game, not on whether we happened to win or lose, as we'll never know whether it was the changes that caused us to lose. In other words, we could make 4 - 5 changes and lose 1-0 or make no changes and lose 2-0. That said, I do appreciate I'm in danger of talking nonsense by thinking out loud on this subject matter

We made 5 changes to the starting line up in the last round vs Arsenal and no-one seemed to mind....

Would it have been equally "frustrating" if the Tories had been in power and subsequently blamed for it?

Yep, likewise
