It will be annoying if Leicester now take Pompey 's place in the bottom 3 at the end of the season.

And yet the attendances generally are always still 27k + despite the standing of the club. Something’s going right or have expectations fallen that much?

Surely a no.9 is going to be a starter? Looks to me as though Stewart will be saved for end of games - pointless putting Larin on when you’re taking off Scienza and Fellows around the same time in a match because they’re spent.

Object.

And caveats it by saying he will take it over if needed/use military force. his truth social thingy says nothing of the sort about supporting it. But is his press people say so, he must do.

Did you read the article? Typical Trump. He changes his position almost daily on almost everything. It was recently suggested that his position depends on who he has last spoken to and we have seen that time and again, especially in the Russia/Ukraine situation. If he was to read a post from Batman saying that the Chagos deal was wrong he would probably flip flop again.

,"On Thursday, Donald Trump signalled his approval for the move, describing Sir Keir Starmer's agreement as the "best he could make"." ,"White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters: "He spoke with Prime Minister Starmer directly, he understands Prime Minister Starmer's position - and he supports it."" I understand it's a difficult bit of text to decipher.

Hamnet lives up to the hype. Both leads are excellent. Take a box of tissues with you as it is a tear jerker.

The rule is if signed after the 1st leg of the semi final, then that player is out. Semenyo was signed before , Guehi a couple of days after. stupid rules, but was a rule at the start of the season and the same for all teams. They never had a problem with it a few weeks back, or in the summer when they could have pressed their case for a rule change.

Where does he back it?

I think the only negative thing I can think up is.. if he is a good player to hold up the ball for those in behind. If he comes on as sub, then the players in behind who can score will already have been subbed off the pitch

The Tories are the reason the country is in the state it is in. Reform UK would be even more of a nightmare. He wants both of them in power. Why respect that? We are currently living through the nightmare of Brexit that people like him and I expect you thought was a good idea. We really don’t need more of this shit. Do you think we should respect those who support MAGA? Perhaps you think some of that would be good here?

He was loaned out last January as it was clear he couldn't do a job in the Prem for us (no argument from me on that). But once we were back in the Championship, I don't see why we would have been trying to sell him then as it's pretty clear he is quite well suited to this level, isn't it? He's far from a perfect striker which is why he hasn't succeeded yet in the Prem. But he has a very decent record at this level no matter how people try to dress it up. So, no idea if your assumption that he was for sale all summer is correct but if it was its yet more evidence that those in charge of the club don't know what they are doing. Maybe Damion Downs was meant to be the SR replacement for Armstrong, but they didn't manage to achieve a sale in the summer! 🤣 Wouldn't surprise me at this point.

The independent commission bottled it.

I don’t really expect much else but it’s still just a bit pathetic. They are acting in self interest of the club which is their job but the weaseling out of things has left a bad taste and i would just once love to see someone come out and say yeah we fell foul of the rules and accept there had to be a consequence, we’re getting the house in order and will do better. It’s not going to happen and I’m very man yells at clouds here, I’m aware 😅 They’re certainly far from alone and there are also plenty of arguments to say the rules aren’t fit for purpose. Their fans on the whole seem like a decent bunch but the legal clever bollocks just pissed me off I think. I’m probably just bitter about our attempts to beat the rap for our second points deduction failed so spectacularly. Hypocrisy and tribalism from a football fan? Who would think it!

Might be an Olympic event soon then.

Don’t think he tried that with Dame Edna. Might have had a big surprise had he done so.

Semenyo as I understand it played in one early round of the competition. Guehli played every round for Palace up the Quarter Final stage. My view is that neither should be eligible for Man City at such a late stage of the competition. Not as if they don’t have a major advantage over other clubs in the cup without adding an injection of c£80m new players to the squad. Anyone know if the same cup tied rules apply to the FA Cup ? (Brooks jokes aside that is)

That time when Trump's "You can do anything... grab them by the pussy," had unexpected results.

Easy decision to do it now, they weren't going up and even with the minus six, they'll probably still manage a mid table finish. It's a nothing punishment, other than maybe costing them a few quid in finishing position money. Nothing to see here after all the noise.

I dug out my Rainbow Laces for his Pride in Place programme, only to find it was for something else entirely. Starmer Out!

And don’t forget Wenger. All complaining about fixtures piling up and the rigours of the English season. Ridiculous when you consider how fixtures used to be played, especially over the Christmas, new year and Easter periods.

"Hyularonic acid injected into the penis can last up to 18 months" So, good value for money too.

Could have been worse for Starmer, he could have eaten some cake with people he spent all day with.

His diary is going to need some hasty revisions, if he can bring himself to do it. His book The Third Man partly used diary notes. Funnily enough titled after a man who betrayed the interests of his country, facilitating untold harm indirectly on young victims. I'd be warning him not to go into the sewers, as it doesn't end well. But he's a politician, and sewers are where he's been spending a lot of his time.
