I've given us 17 wins and we win the league. I don't see how this is anything other than 100% guaranteed to happen

Fair play to not be worried. I think it was Mr Flymo who pointed out we've not won a game without Kone or Morley scoring, for TWO months!

I think we'll be ok tomorrow, providing the ref doesn't make any brave game changing calls. like the red last time.

We've made some seemingly random signings, but those 2 take the biscuit.

Midlander called it day 1 saying they'd be used mostly next season, but at the time it seemed improbable you could double your transfer record twice and just have the two as bit parters, when you'd have thought they should both be absolute key starters.

I like my goalkeepers unhinged. John Budgie Burridge sleeping in his gloves was the stuff of legend. And I’ve just remembered him giving an interview towards the end of his career where he was saying that he wasn’t good enough anymore only for his mum to keep interjecting that he was.

So hearing a keeper is not a conformist is fine by me.

During the interview Dan Rice asked Norris "Where do you see yourself in three years time?" and Norris pointed at Dan and said "Where you're sitting"

When studying philosophy at university one of the questions in the final exam was 'Define bravery'. Norris stood up, crumpled the paper into a ball and threw it at the examiner, shouting 'THIS'.

He was awarded a First. The examiner was uninjured as Norris missed by a mile as his distribution was shit even back then.

Was talking to a colleague this evening who's a Portsmouth regular. Tells me that Will Norris is a brilliant shot stopper but dreadful at distribution (interesting and not what I expected to hear given "data"). Also that he's the life and soul of parties off the pitch but demands to be the centre of attention at all times. And also that after he was dropped following the 6-1 defeat to Stoke earlier this season Norris refused to accept a seat on the sub's bench and was subsequently made available for transfer.

All this just gossip but apparently well established among Portsmouth fans. Hopefully none of it true but as he was telling me it I could only think of Max Stryjek....

I worry about the Danes. You don’t have to be a conspiracy theorist to think their signing was based on getting the Danish manager who turned us down.

Hopefully they’ll prove themselves as worth every penny. But there’s definitely a scenario where they return home on loan in the summer never to be seen again.

Sounds like daylight robbery, so probably about right.
