If he does I'm starting a GoFundMe to pay for his transfer to Liverpool.

Sigh... we're going to contrive to not win this fixture again aren't we. The Clinton Baptiste in me is predicting Saints go 1-0 up in an edgy encounter, then we go full Tuchel vs. Argentina. Pompey are stretched chasing a goal and both their CBs are on a yellow and visibly tired. So instead of sending on Mubama and Dobbin to run at them, we bring on Stephens and Bragg for Larin and Scienza and switch to a back five, eventually clinging on for a 1-1 draw after they score from their ninth consecutive corner.

The attacking player handled it before the defending player. I'm not giving that one either TBH.

It’s not a question of trust and ambition, some of the ideas people have are just fantasy. We’ve already got a squad that has no excuses not to at least be in the hunt for automatic promotion, even if we sign nobody in January. We’ve been battering everyone at home, there’s fact that we can’t buy a win on the road is purely management and psychology. We’ve just signed two strikers who started every week last season and scored about 16 goals between them. Yesterday they played about eight minutes combined in a game we needed a goal in from first to last whistle. There’s no point stockpiling strikers if our manager hasn’t got a clue what to do with them.

No chance. We may get one, possibly two players, probably loans.

So keen that he started basically every game for them in the second half of last season?

Brought off the bench on 90+2 minutes of a game we were never actually in the lead of at any point. I think he’s a decent player but we do seem to have spent £9m on a like for like swap for Archer, who we didn’t want. We’ve made it to our first half term holiday and I’m still none the wiser.

Come on, that would have been a totally different result if we'd had Steve De Ridder, Sekou Mara and Sam Amo-Ameyaw to bring on.

TBF you hate 91 football league clubs more than Pompey, so that's not saying much.

Oh poopy pants.

If you think that bench looks weak, I’ve no idea what you’d expect for a strong one. Mubama, Dobbin, Wely, Edozie, Stephens, Fellows and Bragg would start for a large number of Championship teams.

Looked like a stonewall Millwall penalty to me.

I haven’t mentioned Gaza and I wasn’t actually aware that I had a stance as such, so this is news to me but okay.

Gary Lineker thinks Just Stop Oil are wonderful, saving the planet and will be remembered, "on the right side of history." He believes that people being killed in vehicle accidents, both on the roads and at F1 races are worth it for the greater good. Anyone who takes inspiration from him on moral issues needs to have a bit of a rethink.
