The play offs as a concept, is a great way to keep the league competitive right up until the final weekend of the season. But that format certainly does not need tampering with. But, I'm sure they will.

Sixth place getting the opportunity to knock out the 3rd placed team, whilst finishing some 20 points behind feels somewhat cheeky, so lets just stretch that back to 8th and say no more.........

Football. Shame. Financial. Nice to see Man City got thoroughly punished today. That'll teach them.

Wow, something is brewing.

Solid 8 for me. Really pleased with the clubs ability to move players on, and recruit some exciting talent. Tyler and Mattys departure seemed pretty critical in this process, so unusually it doesn't feel we just got bullied by a big club flexing on us. It will be rather intriguing seeing how quickly our new recruits adapt to life here. But equally many of us will be keeping a keen eye on the big money departees to see how well they do, and if they live up to their expensive price tags.

We can be hero's, just for one day....................

I reckon he will thrive there. I expect to see his name pop up on match reports on a constant basis. That is a clever bit of business for them.

Thank fuck for that.

1-1 We score in the first half, they get one near the end. Feel like I've seen this game already.

Two week break for shitty internationals and then pompey right after. We've got work to do. Lots of it.

Stick or twist? STICK STICK STICK STICK STICK

Bloody hell, slow down. We are a ongoing project. But this is the first transfer window we can be pleased with. Favourites is a tag we do not need.

Defectors watch used to sting more.

Sooner than that. They are raging up there.

Jesus. How thoroughly underwhelming.

Looking forward to this match. If ever we needed a mid week game it is now. The start of this season has been a learning curse. Lets hope we are learning.

Let that be the spark.

The refs are atrocious in the championship. Is this the plan to force var on us?

Need a fresh sheet of bubble wrap for Stewart.

I'm still upset he didn't end up at Leicester. Massive opportunity missed.

I bloody hope Archer has had a single weetabix.

Frustrating early goal to give away, but have come back into the game well. Cut out silly mistakes and there's a point here for the taking. Do something special, and there's three!

I'm hoping that was a good learning curve.

I really wanted him to get the Fox job, that would have been incredibly entertaining. They are a rival, anything that hinders them would be good in my eyes. But watching him put them through the 'work in progress' stage would have been highly amusing. I don't have a particular grudge against RM, but his inflexibility has caused us all some big football trauma. If I were to pick a rival in the Championship for the soul destroying tactics he persists with, it would be Leicester. They really dodged a bullet.

Glad we don't have the reverse of this thread. That would be some reading.
