We're hypothetically top of the league. Also, fair play to Pompey for winning 5-0 at Bristol.

I didn't even know discourse was a thing over on Threads. But it makes a lot of sense that this would be discourse on Threads, if there was.

Because for some reason, Mousinho decides that sitting back is the way to go.

That's why you start Brown over Bishop. Class goal.

Another half of football for Pompey of having the ball but frustratingly
doing absolutely nothing with it.

I'd have had Chaplin up top with our top goalscorer also playing.

Yeah,I would take a draw, assuming we can follow it up with a win on Tuesday and then again Monday. I'd be happy with 7 points from our next 3. I'd take 5 if it meant results go our way, but it's the Championship, so they won't!

After Oxford winning last night, a win is absolutely needed. Saying that, we are so unbelievably woeful up top that I just don't see it, so a draw. Maybe a 1-1.

Not sure to be honest?

All seriousness, that's class, and huge props to everyone involved. Very wholesome stuff.

Fair play to everyone there. A lesson about Reading must have been dull, given there's much more exciting clubs to learn about.

Yeah, they've done a great job of ripping the video. Fingers crossed for no DMCA takedowns!

If we propose 12:30 kicks off Saturday and 8pm kick offs Monday on every other week, it might? πŸ‘€

If a relegated team from the PL also play in Europe as well like Wigan/Ipswich did, and they get to the play off final the following season upon relegation, they could have 46 league games, 4 play off games, 8 + European matches, 1 + League Cup rounds and 1 + FA Cup rounds.

Stuff it, why not add all 24 teams in? Have them all play each other twice. Maybe do like a league format as well.

Spurs fans will probably welcome this news.

I wish I could get into them, but nearly every time I hear anything from them, an instant wave of grumpiness hits me.

Rewatched it the other day. Would happily buy a physical or digital copy.

I was kept being dragged upwards, even to a bright light, so maybe the moon is up to some tricks! Might have to find a shaman.

Terrible nights sleep with constant lucid dreaming (geometric patterns was cool, though), so I feel like I've hardly slept. Not sure if this is still a dreamworld or not, but this morning feels like it.

Lovely to see. He has the personality that makes you think he'll make a very good manager one day.

Over 100 works of art being put up for auction by (cash strapped) Reform-run Kent County Council.

Kent Greens: "While the total financial value of the art is only around Β£35k, the historic and social value of the art, most of which depicts Kent, is far higher."

Totally agree. I'd put Chaplin up top, to be honest. Or anyone else.
