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.

Andy Carroll elbowing everyone in the head then moaning about it. But the worst I recall was Suarez at SMS. He went down, writhed around, indicated to the bench he needed subbing as he was seriously injured, then jumped up and ran after the ball. And he loves a bite and a spit - even his own teams must think he's a complete twat. If you are that fucking horrible I don't care what you can do with a ball, football doesn't need or want you. Going back a while there was Fashanu. I recall him getting poor Frannie sent off once after he'd come in and nipped the ball off the striker's toes. Fash went down like he'd been shot, terrible play acting.

They've nicely exploited a loophole to give them time to rebuild. But I'm still confident that they have the ability to buy a whole load of disinterested journeymen on over-inflated wages - and I'm 100% convinced that Eddie Howe has another relegation in him, he can still do this! Their self-inflicted fixture congestion could yet be their downfall.

Yeah, I'm not sure what was more stupid, Raab explaining that it was okay having a party because they were wearing suits, or the fact that he was pointing at a photo of people not wearing suits. They really are trying to take everyone for mugs and for the minority of pigthick voters who still defend this corrupt madness, they will be happily clambering into an oven on Saturday morning with stuffing hanging out of their arses. You asked for a clown.....

Antlers Svensson...

He did brake in Saudi, quite hard, trying to be clever by dabbing them and booting it at the same time to retake the place straightaway - proven by when he did that later. As for last weekend, Max surrendered track position to put on new rubber, a very long shot gamble. The problem was when Massi gave him a massive advantage by restoring his track position through making up a new rule on the spot. It was a total clusterfuck of officiating that Mike Dean would have been proud of, as for adding drama, the season has had enough without Massi thinking he can sprinkle some of his own magic on it to liven things up. And anyone who thinks they witnessed a one lap shootout on equal terms clearly doesn't grasp much at all - that title was handed over and stage-managed in a most bizarre manner - there should only be two people in a head-to-head title decider like that, three is a crowd.

Best wishes WS.

Her career is on a worse trajectory than Ryan Bertrand, and she's less effective than him. The Met needs fresh leadership to rebuild relationships destroyed by various examples of lazy, dodgy and inept policing.
