Yep, I reckon Tonda is *definitely* the kind of manager who picks players for sentimental reasons, rather than because he thinks they're worth their place 👍

Ballard's had one decent season in League One, but Still wasn't the first manager who didn't think he'd make it at a higher level.

It hasn't done Pep's reputation too much harm.

Yes, yes; but he's too young. Or too clever. Or doesn't learn (except when he does). Or something.

Jesus. If you get that little joy out of the game, why do you bother?

I'd suspect it was our choice - even out the gap between Hull and Pompey.

Ah, well that's good enough for me. Got any magic beans you'd like to sell while we're at it?

That's the spirit!

As per Alfie House on the Total Saints podcast this week, both Bree and Taylor are in the last year of their contracts.

Plus playing down his involvement is a useful way of deflecting questions in press conferences.

True; though of course Verona will know this and, even if his loan works out well, only offer him a contract once we've released him on a free.

Yes, because goals conceded are definitely the sole responsibility of the keeper, and not the defenders in front of him; nor the midfielders who lose the ball when too far up the pitch.

Baz and Stephens instrumental in a win. Let the meltdown begin!

Jeezus, when there's over a page of speculation as to who might or might not be a club plant, you know the rumour mill has gone *very* quiet.
