The only way there is a case to answer is if someone from the club knew for certain there were problems and deliberately buried them, then we would need to look at Ted. While there are former club employees who clearly could have done much better, I've seen no facts that indicate the club went as far as protecting Higgins. It seems more likely that the rumours were never nailed down and dealt with - an error not a crime. You need serious solid facts before you start reviewing statues and reputations.

Indeed, he's a national hero who always puts us first and he deserves a statue - I believe there's a local guy who would be good for that, and Bristol would be a great place to put it.

If Cummings is now recognised as a liar and Johnson has continued to be a liar, where does that now leave their whole Brexit campaign?

The fact that he chose to hang around with a convicted sex offender is the action that got him thrown out - socialising with Epstein brought the Palace into disrepute. The court cases will just chuck more fuel on that fire.

As the case for the defence hilariously unravels a little more every day it seems the latest plan is to blame the people who didn't tell him he was at his own party and that it was clearly illegal. Which is like saying, I might have been doing 140mph on the M27 but I'm innocent - it's your fault for not telling me it was wrong. And anyone who gives themselves the nickname The Big Dog should be f**king tasered anyway.

While Liverpool would be a great move, is Prowsie ready to claim a first team slot there? When that fails you end up at Brighton. And Danny Ings has kindly given every player a great lesson in what can happen if you abandon the chance to remain a cult hero multi-millionaire and instead take a sideways move just to be a little bit richer. Possibly one of the worst career moves in recent times.

The next stage in the plan to save the small manky flea-riddled rescue dog will probably be to distance him from the Downing Street staff and hang them all out to dry. We'll have some old drivel about how the staff have gone rogue behind the PM's back, disobeying him and organising parties on his behalf in his own house and making him attend them. This new toxic culture within the staff brought in after the last clear out will mean they must be cleared out, allowing the common factor to stay put. All of this will be accompanied by ministers trying to align themselves with public anger, but the big difference will be that the ministers will pretend to be angry about the made-up staff issue, while the rest of the country can see who is really to blame. This feeble attempt to rewrite history will no doubt be accompanied by various dead cats, Gavin Williamson, rules being lifted, a fabricated story about spies, some argument with the French and a picture of Kier Starmer on holiday three years ago. Then we'll have the Sue report - someone with no power to speak to anyone, appointed by Boris, reporting back to Boris, so Boris can decide whether Boris has done anything wrong. Any mild criticisms that slip through vetting can then be dismissed as the problem will by then have been 'resolved' through a mass clear-out of innocent bystanders and it'll be business as usual. But I could be wrong.

While winning is within our grasp I reckon we can still lose this by over a hundred - the middle order have that in their locker.

I'm sure there is plenty of ongoing 'consultancy work' agreed between off shore BorisPLC and a plethora of PPE companies. That should generate enough cash to cover most of his childcare costs moving forward, unless of course he was the only cabinet minister not to benefit from having given out valuable 'advice' in the last two years... So don't worry about him too much, I think he'll have some nice 'pensions' on the go.

Bit harsh, I think she was being sad rather than moaning.

Fair play to the Queen, she's not taking prisoners. Now she needs to summon her PM for a chat about integrity, leadership - and shutting the door on the way out...

Is Boris still playing a blinder?

You fucking leftie, tree-hugging, woke, sandal-wearing, statue-bothering, Britain-hating remoaners! It's a bit harsh to criticise, I'm sure most of us have at some point stumbled into our gardens with a bottle in hand, discovered an illegal party going on, organised at our own request, confused it with a work meeting, then been so forgetful we needed to organise an enquiry just to establish if we had been there. Easy mistakes to make. The main defence now seems to be that it was not a public space, meaning we could have all held garden raves ourselves, and the PM was so horrified at realising he was suddenly at his own party that he was too shocked to send people away. Simple explanation, nothing to see here. The end. PS Blur the enquiry findings, sack a civil servant, pay them whatever, treat the voters with utter contempt, laugh at them, they're suckers and will believe any old shit.

Great performances all over the pitch tonight - but Prowsie, tracking back to prevent a goal as well - awesome commitment, a true leader.

She definitely has stuff on No.10 - like her own officers' records of who signed in for the illegal party that the Met did security for. All she needs to do now is organise what proper police forces call 'an investigation', even if it does implicate her own staff. We all know that the PM didn't realise he was at his own party, that he had arranged, in his own garden, but at least the Met could crack on with getting some innocent civil servant sacked.

Anyone who still can't see that Boris is a cunt must be fucking blind.

Antiques, baking, dancing, painting, gameshows, DIY and Mrs fucking Brown. They are out of ideas.....but people still watch.

A great dogged and tactical performance against a really average and unfit Swansea side. Has the gulf between the Prem and the Championship opened up even further or are they just really bad?

Braverman has a 30.000+ majority which means there is massive support for her views and actions. One doesn't like to accuse voters of being thick because that might sound patronising, but how else can this be explained? Fishing towns voting themselves out of funding, farming communities voting against support for their industry.... The country has asked for all of the above - the paperwork debacle, the running down of our own industries, the basic infrastructure failures and the incompetent ministers, most voters still support the blatant corruption of PPE, it's quite odd. Is it still too early to suggest that one or two voters might be a little bit thick for supporting all of the self-harm above, or are they just too stubborn to admit they were conned?

There comes a point when you have to decide what you want from football. I'd rather see us win a couple 3-2 and lose the other one than watch us win a couple 1-0 and draw the other one 0-0 - and I know that's a luxury you can only afford when not in a relegation battle trying to scrape every point together, but it has to be about enjoyment not just winning. At the end Puel had sunk into the dullest style - it was mind-numbing and sucked the life out of football itself, I recall thinking how I'd rather get relegated than watch any more of that, and the way we had stopped scoring meant we were heading for a season of battling to win more 1-0 than we lost. He had to go, for the sake of ticket sales alone.

Very interesting to see Ankersen explaining his philosophy, the scathing Newcastle analysis was particularly relevant to our own situation with Puel - and great to see that the new man plays the harp.

Good effort Mack, nice to see you're okay - but I am disappointed... By now I would expect to see several freshly-written portsmyths doing the rounds, you know - SS tank drivers, fantasy dock strikes, war crimes, Serbian mafia, all the usual stuff. But all I've seen offered so far was someone who clearly can't grasp basic maths who thinks Jack Grealish cost the same as the club. So many numbers to remember, it's difficult....then letters as well....it's too much.

I can understand why an offender might demand that no one else is sued over the exact same offence, but surely you can't just issue random bits of paper that say you can't be charged with anything vaguely-related, ever? And I thought Andrew had nothing to do with Epstein? Now he wants to clarify how close he was to him...close enough to be covered by an admission of guilt in compensation form. What a clusterfuck of a royal.

A draw with Cambridge can be considered a good result - if you're in a fucking boat race! I hear that the medical staff treating the seriously-ill fan were greatly impressed by the small freak group armed with a bell and drums, battering their eardrums throughout the solemn incident.

A good point about John Terry, because even if you gave the shithouse award to someone else he'd still turn up in the photos.
