Appalling inconsistency all round at the moment. It can't all be about shepherding Chelsea and Liverpool up the table, there must be genuine mistakes going on too. The most obvious decision of the weekend was a second yellow card against a Spurs player. How did he stay on the pitch? The guys who train refs have many questions to answer as following a decent start to the season with sensible officiating, their members' mistakes are now overshadowing games every week.

I'm sure the few celebrated our result last night. Until it dawned on them that even Bournemouth are securing another year of being three divisions above them with the accompanying £100m+ TV money.

When you have a dismal evening, pompey can still make you feel better.

I just hope this doesn't become as legendary as the Kevin Friend performance that actually cost us places last year. If Chelsea finish three points above us and we lose out on European qualification then Mr Atkinson can take his place among the elite of crap referees. I'd rather he or Kevin went and knackered Leicester's title challenge - it is well within their range of incompetence to achieve that. And to the swings and roundabouts brigade - I cannot recall a game where we have benefited to the extent that we have lost out on these two occasions. Winning the odd dodgy throw-in does not make up for denied penalties or goals unfairly conceded. They do not even out.

1. If a defender fouls the striker AND places his arm out to block the path of the ball, that is a penalty - it's also a red card. 2. The Chelsea defender kicked out petulantly and the linesman flagged - possible red card there too. We were beaten by a better side - who had their own ref.

I wouldn't want Costa anywhere near our side. He is a cheat and has no place in a game that even in this modern era should try to retain some shred of sportsmanship. We didn't lose because he was cheating or because of his tactical aggression, we lost because we failed to deal with a corner that their player judged better than ours - Costa was irrelevant to that. All his antics just dragged Chelsea's name through the gutter - again.

There's that tramp again - mocking diners as they enter The Ritz because he's just found a dead rat for his tea.

I'm jealous.

Like-minded people having fun? Leaving the safety of the computer? Getting fitter while sharing an interest in football? Sounds rubbish.

The huge figure is explained away by the transfer of England starlet-in-waiting Jed Wallace. Total agent fees paid across the whole squad including the new management and coaching team - £268k Wallace transfer fee - £275k Agent fee on that deal - £25k? Another portsmyth crushed. I'm just starting to wonder whether the figures add up...

They make friends wherever they go! Opposition fans should take an instant dislike to the few who have regressed to the 1970s - it'll save them time in the long run.

Coins thrown at their former hero after he scores the winner, fans abusing players at the final whistle, players go to speak to fans, have to be pulled away by coaching staff to avoid scuffles. #classy Hello, is that 1972? Have you lost a football club? I think we've found it....

They are just about hanging onto joint top.

I attended an event in Gosport recently where the compere asked the crowd how many of them supported pompey. Out of 60 kids, not a single hand went up - tumbleweed drifted past. The decline in pompey shirts worn in Fareham and Gosport is significant, the fun of Division Four is wearing thin. Your children will wear our shirt....

Nice to see that again. So many criminals, so many unpaid debts, so much delusion - all under one rickety roof! Who would have thought that getting in bed with loan sharks, the actual mafia , and people who kill children for a living, could lead to League Two? I blame the FA.

They are joint top but the table shows Northampton as leaders - but only on points difference.

Those were funny days! Had they been wound up we would never have seen them lose at Aldershot, this thread would have died, the Morecambe keeper wouldn't have had his glorious moment in the sun and we would never have learned that Fleetwood is actually a club in the football league. Yes, they have achieved a great deal. The 48% donated funding business model really works. #jealous

It still makes me chuckle that Ted faces out to the east and is waving them goodbye.

The rivalry changed at that moment.

Inconsistency is the worst thing. Get things wrong, yeah, we all make mistakes - but to give different decisions in the same match for similar events suggests you are out of your depth. And for me too many of our refs are inconsistent.

This week Jeremy Hunt was exposed as a liar. His position is untenable, any comments he makes now should be treated with great caution. I cannot see how anyone could consider that he has either done a good job here, or not tried to mislead the public. As our air strikes create the next generation of terrorists, Jeremy Hunt and David Cameron are inspiring future Red Wedge tours with their blatant efforts to force private healthcare into the mainstream, steamrolling NHS staff and the vulnerable to make that pathway. And if you are from the extreme right, don't bother to troll me as I don't debate with people who are beyond sensible thought.

£13m a game! That's how much they claimed they contributed to the local economy to justify a council loan, and Penny stood up and confirmed this. £13million a game...the local creditors should now be paying the club!

Interesting to see Peterborough tonight fielding some really good young players, even if penalties isn't their strong point. They have no money and small crowds but their youth development is producing talent, and the benefits of selling them on keeps the business ticking over. pompey could learn something from a bigger club like Peterborough. Which reminds me, has the 48% fan-owned business model ever worked, anywhere?

Does he cut his own hair with his Nan's bacon scissors?

Personally I would never leave before the end of the game and these days I pride myself on being the last person in SMS. Unless I have been able to help the stewards with the checking of seats, seen the goalposts being taken down and have been physically removed by security I don't feel I have given the team my full support.
