"fans need a reminder of why the bubble is the necessary to help people understand" That is a very concerning statement from the official minutes. Was there any representation that was put forward for those fans, myself included, who don't want to be forced to get a coach to their ground? I'm a grown man, I can make my own choices, I understand the risk. I don't need a patronising reminder. If people want to really avoid trouble and want a coach, let them do so, for those who want to get there on their own, let them do so.

We've ended our home hoodoo against the skates, and got our first clean sheet of the season, so hopefully we can finally pick up an away win and tick that particular box.

Obviously it was very stressful but very funny we won with ten men. I bet they had all sorts of Portsmyths prepared - we only won because all their best players were out, blah blah Well no excuses lads. You had more players for the majority of the game and you lost. Embarrassing.

Despite all their injury problems it won't be easy. I think it'll be a cagey first half but we'll have worn them down by the end. 3-0

If we get an early goal, the floodgates will open. We started the home game so poorly last time so we need a fast start. Get at them and get at them early.

Jammy West Ham. They just seem to find a way even when they don't deserve it

Don't worry, Boro will be saving all the sob stories for November in the week before we play them. It's going to be relentless

Jason Cundy speaking a lot of sense on Talksport. Obviously skate Jamie O'Hara with him was calling him Tonda a cheat and saying he got away with it but Cundy wasn't having any of it. "Who cares... he's not a cheat"

Yup, their names are at the start of the written reasons on the FA website

I wish we were playing Boro this weekend instead of the Skates We'll just have to smash them both and wait our turn for the bottle jobs to come down

Reading though the sanction document, the FA wanted to impose a ban of three months from all footballing activity and a hefty fine. (Paragraph 108) The Indepdent Panel told the FA to fuck off basically.

Boro tears have already begun in the media

You're funny, I'll give you that

The very reasonable FA sanction just shows that the EFL decision was utterly ludicrous
