Surprised a full scale decontamination service was not activated

[hypochondriac]

Should have sprayed it red.

Do they still sell itching powder in joke shops?

I had to do a quick double-take on that headline... "Wig Hunt" read completely differently at first glance...

[Osvaldorama]

Just read the pre-match info.

No flares.. miserable. But they didn’t say anything about red smoke bombs 

 

Then some brilliant stuff this weekend: 

- Trains cancelled due to engineering

- Decide to close all the roads anyway 

- Busiest day for the port

- Derby day

Thanks to everyone involved

Plenty of rosehip around this time of year if not.

Anthrax would have been better.

It crawled back on its own.

I believe the appropriate verb is either "slithered" or "scuttled"

Apparently the scummer had pissed all over it before sending it back.

TCWTB thanked him for cleaning it.

Can't believe they've leaked our 26/27 away and third kits so early.

A red and white storm sweeping out the fishy few.

I see they've announced the per-match entertainment in the away end for sunday

[suewhistle]

Presumably written by Factless Allen as he is known by many of us, following his interesting coverage of Portsmouth's  affairs and various bankruptcies?

He also has a most excrucuatingly juvenile style which, if I were being generous, might be due to the audience he is writing for, although I can't believe they _all_ have a reading age of 12.

So I'll rely on your accounts here, cheers!

12 is very generous

[OldNick]

It is a massive day for Baz, if he makes a mistake he will never shake off the 'agent' tag and the fans wont forgive him. This adds to the massive pressure he will be under. I wonder if it would be prudent to play AM

Hard to tell, he'll either have the game of his life or he'll be bloody awful and gift them a goal !!

‘I’m not on the internet, but the number of people that had sent me his contact details was staggering. So I rang the chap up and, genuinely, left a really nice message, asking for the wig’s return.

‘He texted me back saying it wasn’t him and he needed to talk to someone about it - and the next day I received a special delivery. It’s the same state it was, still dirty and smelly, which reminds me, I must wash it.

That is so Pompey... #NotTheOnion

Interested to note that he actually said 'texted' in the grammatically correct past tense, so my respect for him has increased marginally.

This will become another skate myth...we couldn't even sell out the derby game.

Think I might have managed to buy the last remaining pair of tickets yesterday. Thank you for the heads up.

I was thinking about this. Will's damned if he does and damned if he doesn't, same for Baz.

Don't play - WS isn't showing faith in GB to perform under intense pressure.

Play (and it goes wrong) - GB goes to bits and everyone says he should have played Macca.

I guess AM did play in the away game at Fratton Park, so he has some experience at least of the kind of game it is.

He could always play the "I've selected Al because Gav was away and I want to go with whoever was here to train all week" card, maybe?

Is this confirmed ?

[hypochondriac]

More than anyone, if Bazunu fucks up then the fans won't forget it. I agree, McCarthy in may be smarter.

[saintant]

My guess at line up;

Baz

Mads Stephens THB Manning

Charles Downes

Fellows Azaz Fraser

Archer

Plenty of good options on the bench to help in any situations that arise during the game and I'm expecting Will to make full use of his subs to impact things.

3-1 Saints.

I think you're right, that's the team that will start. Personally I'd swap Baz for Macca as suggested above but I don't think we will. 

That's a strong line-up though, and then we have the options to unleash J-Rob, Scienza, Matsuki, Jander, Roscoe off the bench as required. 

If we concentrate at the back and don't do anything silly then that should be more than enough to do them at home.

There's a reason he's still working for the same tiny, shit local newspaper after 25 years.
