We've got to outwork them and take nothing for granted, they'll chuck everything at us and if we get one of those refs who 'lets the game flow' we'll have to outfight them too, before the quality kicks in. Go there with the right attitude, come home with three points - the mustest of all must wins.

The Reform defence is that they've broken no rules... Unfortunately that claim falls down on its first meeting with reality - the criminal offence that Reform appear to have committed on that footage is planning to take illegal donations. The Met should be opening an investigation anyday.

One of the very few refs who you could point a finger at and ask some serious questions. I saw him book four of our players in the first twenty mins once, for no reason. Another match, he only booked one player - a goalkeeper....you get very long odds on that over 90 mins. So many of his games smacked of betting that I believe he has more questions to answer than, why were you so fucking dreadful at your job?

Alan Knight was a proper club legend, 801 appearances. I dealt with him on many occasions back in the day and he was always a pleasant guy - whatever your colours, every club needs players like him, and in this modern era of arsehole agents shuffling their fickle clients around at the first sign of money, Pompey have said goodbye to a loyal servant and football has lost a good one.

A risk, but a cheap one, and unlike one or two of the others who returned, this one feels like it has a genuine chance of success, had he gone anywhere else it would have felt like we'd missed out. Welcome home, now please could you bang in a free-kick and blow the roof off St Mary's.

Only if the paint has finally dried and you've finished bathing the goldfish.

That looks like significant progress on a key issue for the UK. We'll see how the stats look after the fine weather of July/August but if we're finally getting to grips with the borders and particularly the boats, it's genuine progress that will be applauded by all sides. Unless some sides were just using the boats issue to whip up fear and hate among simpletons who can't grasp facts...

What's more annoying than watching your side concede a stupid goal? The club App sending you a fucking message about it straight after, four times - just in case you hadn't noticed the shitshow unfolding in front of your eyes.

Robot athletes falling over and running into things at high speed - even Tonda would smile at that.

Young people who endanger others and kill themselves....the insanity and recklessness of it all is beyond words. My thoughts are with the families of PC Tom Clough and PC Matthew Blades - and for the innocent victims of the Irish crash.

I think the Tory donor who took most of the money thought it was well spent. Has it made it to Rwanda yet?

All you woke Britain-hating Remoaners would like that, if you love Albania so much why don't you go and live in Turkey?! Democracy cannot be denied, a clear part of our Brexit success was closing the return route to stop us sending back illegal immigrants. Brexit achieved that so stop remoaning - and Brexit voters, be proud of that victory, own it, you closed the border! (exit door)

Oh shit, yeah, I'd forgotten about that. 😬

Don't be poor, don't get old, don't be unemployed and don't be disabled, because multi-millionaire Nigel is coming for you. If you or members of your family tick any of those boxes, please make the connection before you next enter a polling station.

Three points please.

After a short pause the full investigation into Farage's finances and any undeclared links to crypto can now resume. Not so much a bi-election, more of an extended lunchbreak for the investigators.

Good business, great for him, and we'll always have the goals. For me the one against Oxford is probably up in the top five at SMS because the view from the Northam showed how much it curled, epic moment. All the best Shea.

Traore is a box-to-box, box, box player, good at corners, though he did flag in the second half, always looked tyred - reminded me a bit of Chicane George from back in the day.

Look, a dead cat!

Kids who keep falling over - we can't go anywhere without one of them ripping a knee open, if there's a paving slab to trip on or a table sticking out, they're banging into it - we need to take a frigging first aid kit everywhere. Look where you're going! 🫣

I'd like to hear more guessing please, especially from people who still haven't quite grasped the difference between the EFL, the FA, FIFA and the RSPB Thanks. 🙂

It sounds like a ridiculous idea just to benefit greedy bastards.

If Steve Gibson has been given out caught behind at Saltburn, he'll be demanding the death penalty.

Hey guys, shall we do fitness training this week so we're not all fucked after twenty minutes like we were last season, or maybe work with the keeper so he can learn not to drop the fucking ball in the six-yard box? Nah, sounds like hard work, let's just moan about Saints.
