Now this has inadvertently become a thing, I’m putting more effort into these. First person with the correct answer to the Ipswich one, I’ll buy them a pint at AP

Eddie Tenpole put on a marvellous gig in the white horse about 20 years ago.

Tractor Boys’ manager and Sex Pistols drummer who co-wrote the song share the same name?
@bluntphil You said at the end two of the internationals are playing at the club now. Is it not three with Horgan, De Barr and Kaikai? Also Burley, though he is on loan.
Morning @JohnBoy. You’re right! And it’s actually 11 internationals, with four of them currently here, although I need to check if KaiKai has played in a competitive international this season and not just a friendly.
And because their fans don't believe in education.

Was the Pink Floyd Opposition View soundtrack a reference to the unsavoury taunting of the ball boy?
Just want to point out that the Pompey fans weren't chanting at a ball boy, it was at Stocko. They spent the first 15 minutes of the second half chanting directly at him, and finished it off with "he's going to cry in a minute".
It was quite funny, there was a lot of "you fat bastard" and "who's the wanker in the pink" and Stocko was occasionally turning round to laugh about it - he seemed to be quite enjoying it until they scored.

Yes very best of luck. It is a great show as is your commentary for that matter. We’re lucky to have you.
OH WHAT A PODCAST
Mr. Phil remains one of the finest, one of the Chair Metropolis' best-loved sons.
P. C. 4 P. M.
The campaign starts now: let's see if the EFL can wriggle out of this one.
You’re all too kind.
Episode dropping tomorrow featuring the world exclusive of this year’s @oilysailor FA Cup poem.
YES!

Damn you @Onlooker, we’ll done

I knew this would happen!

Loved the interview with Ted.
Point of order though, his wife was definitely on the Independents coach to Grimsby
I thought is was because Portsmouth are managed by a couple of PE teachers
BINGO!
Although, like all great music, it is open to interpretation
And because their fans don't believe in education.

Oh ok. Thanks for clarifying.
I can remove that from their charge sheet!

My Monday morning commute will be all the poorer without it
