I don’t agree with dropping Santos - I think his defending is, on the whole, some of the best in the league. He’s susceptible to the odd mistake (defensively), but anyone on this league is. His distribution though can be woeful. I’m not sure he made a decent pass out against Stevenage and it’s always someone else’s fault. He was slow, lazy and should have cost us a goal. If we insist on using him to play us out, he needs to improve that side of his game.

Not quite right, it’s 90 days, then you have to leave for 90 days, then can go back for up to 90 days etc. Different countries have different rules, but if you want to take residency in the Costa Blanca (to stay permanently), won’t you have to become tax resident is Spain and no longer be a tax resident in England? Then you’d be subject to Spanish inheritance tax rules etc… There are other consequences like you’d have to exchange your English driving licence for a Spanish one.

Never heard of him.

On the plus side, Derby’s result means it’s less likely we can lose to the donkey lashers at Wembley. Every cloud…

I don’t want to gatecrash a top 8 chat with a top 12 stat, but I will… 😁 The results away from home this season against the (current) top half teams: Bolton - P10, W1, D4, L5 = 7 points Derby - P10, W5, D1, L4 = 16 points Pompey - P9, W5, D4, L0 = 19 points. People talk about Carlisle or Bristol at home as the reason we are not top 2. That’s not the case. Every team has freak one-off results - look at Barnsley and Posh today. The reason we’re not top 2 is because we’re consistently just not good enough away from home against the better teams. Our home form is good, but not good enough to make up this sort of deficit.

It’s fortunate that we have a group of people who will stick by our country and show patriotism and a bit of British backbone rather than act like snowflake woke bedwetters and run off to Australia / SE Asia / Costa Blanca at the drop of a hat. We need to stick by king and country. GSTK.

A rampant rabbit 🐰

Unless it’s us against Wigan or Blackpool 🙃

That’s the face of man who just lost £5k on the 2.30 at Wincanton.

Sunak’s border force.

I watched the Boris documentary the other day. They mentioned on it that David Cameron openly admitted he chose 2016 for the Brexit vote because he thought it was the optimum time to minimise the impact on his legacy as PM. Apart from the fact the result had the exact opposite effect, it shows that MPs will use something that massive simply as a chess piece for personal gain. Same with tax cuts in an election year, or Sadiq Khan finding money to freeze tube fares in the year of a mayoral vote. They don’t care as much about people’s finances two years before an election, but suddenly when it’s round the corner they will make large policy shifts for personal gain.

😂 What is the international break doing to me? I’ll be subscribing to Thogden’s YouTube channel by Thursday…

Sold 22,000 so far. Cant see another 3,000+ shifting for this. Reading sold 1,000, so probably less than 1,500 away even with POTD.

It’s easy to say this about every fixture coming up, but I genuinely think this Friday is make or break in setting the tone for top 2 battle. The Derby result has put us back in the mix and we simply have to take the opportunity. Us, Posh and Barnsley will be looking at the international break as a chance to reset and we need to come out firing. Posh and Barnsley have home games that look easy on paper, so we need to keep that gap. Derby don’t have the easiest of games with their injuries and if they don’t get 3 points, control of the top 2 spots would slip out of their hands - potentially to 3 teams. If we can get 3 points it’s a massive momentum shift and I’d really fancy our chances of a top 2 spot. But short of that I’d be resigned to the play offs.

Says Jones is Welsh, can’t believe a word they say… 😬

Reminds me a bit of Coleman against Blackpool. Or Coleman against Exeter. 💣

The trolley adds that bit of class. 🛒

Just catching up on the Last Leg from last night. They were doing a piece on this and ran through a few examples where football fans has disrespected the flag. Look what cropped up…

If we win all our games, it doesn’t come down to GD with Posh, as they’d drop 3 points against us. Barnsley could in theory come down to GD if they will all theirs. But one thing I’m sure of - neither we nor Barnsley will win all of our remaining games.

First half? So wind with them second half?

They both look Scottish.

That’s going to be a conflicted wank for Bolty.

It’s a good job Iredale isn’t able to get into the Australia squad!

You just need to look at our away record this season against the better teams to see where our problems lie. Taking the best “other” 10 teams in this league ie 1st (Pompey) to 11th (Wigan). The records of the top 3 are: Pompey - P8, W4, D4, L0. Points: 16 Derby - P9, W5, D1, L3. Points: 16 Bolton - P8, W1, D2, L5. Points: 5 That’s just not good enough. Our home record helps claw back some points, but not nearly enough.
