Today I feel Tahitian. Well, like a Tahitian holiday.

Yeah but we’ll still lose at home to Oxford in the Carabao ?

Don’t bank with him

And L1 in this case….

Yep that’s the way it works ?

Can think of a few players over the years who’ve killed our chances….

Wonder if Awkward Sean is there ?

Job for…… ?

Think I’d just kip in the car

That would have a certain romance about it ?

Got a Pompey mate and asked him if the seasons in the Prem, cup win, European games v Milan etc were worth it when they plummeted to League 2 and were in a financial mess as a result of overspending. ’Of course’ was his reply

Since Boxing Day, matches against Championship teams (cup and league): won 10 drew 9 lost 6 borderline play off form?

They probably just had a quiet word about the way it could have been perceived. He probably had no thought about who the player was. Respectfully, let’s not start another culture wars discussion….. nothing new ever gets said

Goooal ?

Just simply thought it would help the debate to point out our actual record recently (not context to justify any particular view). I’d think most would say we’ve improved (as I do, for the record and not just in terms of results ; performances on the whole), but there are different views on a possible contract extension. Personally I can see the case for extending as it seems pointless to let NP spend this much time sorting out the finances and rebuilding the squad, without giving him further opportunity.

Just for a bit of context, since Boxing Day (all comps) won 8 drawn 9 lost 5

Suspect he’ll end up on a lot less cash then he is now but it won’t be in the UK.

As an Exeter resident I have mixed feelings but on balance another SW team with us is a good thing IMO. And they do play some cracking stuff.

WhenFranny Jeffers joined Arsenal I had a bet with a mate he’d finish Prem top scorer. Not sure if he was top scorer inArsenal’s reserves.

You know what I’m a Southgate fan, we’ve just won away against a team we usually struggle against, yet I am slightly disappointed. Found the second half opening up old wounds around ball retention, and the backs to the wall stuff disguises it a bit. Still would’ve taken that before the start though

Maguire compounded the mistake with another by trying to win the ball back. And got booked.

Oh yes. Didn’t see the first one!

It isn’t but isn’t that mitigation for Mancini, especially given his past record?

My summary: 1. the handball rule nowadays is a complete joke of a rule 2. it was a clear penalty in line with that rule.

Southgate out ? Sorry!
