I'm more worried about the collapse of the space-time continuum when the number of pages over takes the current year....

Have you ever tried repairing a sinking ship in the middle of a storm? It quite often takes on much more water than you can pump out before you've plugged all the holes.... Don't you mean "for more or less the same level of services without the added bureaucracy costs"?

So are you saying that the savings (aka "cuts") should have been more expansive than they have been? As WG alluded to, the first phase of deficit reduction is to apply the brakes on current spending.

Back to semantics but I guess, but that depends on whether "not being 100% sure" = "a mistake". Unless the referee comes out and explains why he didn't give it then we'll never know for sure whether he (a) saw clearly what happened, and thus applied the rules incorrectly, or (b) whether he couldn't see clearly what happened and therefore was duty bound to give the benefit of his doubt to the keeper. That said, if the answer is "(b)", I guess one could argue that his "mistake" was not being in the right position to have a more clear cut view of the incident. Anyway....about time we got back to gloating about the 8-0 win. My grin is still as wide as it was on Saturday!

@SouthamptonFC: TICKETS: We've opened up Block 43 to #SaintsFC fans for this weekend's visit of @stokecity

Cheers. That would put him 2 or so weeks ahead of where Koeman placed him last week so good news if true.

My initial gut instinct was that it was a penalty but I wasn't 100% sure. Which I think is the point Wes is making. If you're not 100% sure then its not "clear cut" IMO. Semantics I guess. Does a referee have to be 100% sure before giving penalty decisions or do 'the rules' give him leeway to award a penalty based on a percentage certainty? It doesn't really matter how "clear cut" a penalty is upon fine tooth comb scrutiny. Its how "clear cut" it was to the referee in real time.

Did they say back in full training or back playing matches? Would be pleasantly surprised if he's "match fit" this side of Christmas

Make up your own punchlines.... @PennyMordauntMP Great news: football finance & governance reform expert group launched today at @officialpompey & @PompeyTrust will sit on it. @SuppDirect

Bum. Time to score a winner too....

It make me smile that we've reach the stage where we're more concerned about results from the likes of Man Utd rather than the likes of West Brom Happy days

Get in! 2-1 WBA
