    It's pretty incredible. 31 goals scored in 29 goals is nothing special at all. The worst in the top 11, and even Pompey in 23rd are averaging more goals per game. And yet they have an incredible GD of +22 from those 31 goals scored!

    the Scott Parker effect. Bournemouth and Fulham fans all moaned about how negative he was which led to his sacking at both clubs where on the surface it looked maybe slightly harsh.

    One of those where you put up with the style of play while it gets you results (in the Championship in Parker’s case) but as soon as the results go the fans want you gone

    Brighton v Chelsea one of the FA Cup games picked for TV. The tie everyone was dying to see.

    Exeter v Forest on the Tuesday night.

    Decent home win for the blue few at home to Boro today. Hopefully they can maintain their home form enough to stay up.

    Sad news. I see Westwood was being a **** about it to the surprise of absolutely nobody.

    Controversial reffing decisions going Barca’s way so they avoid defeat in Europe?

    I, for one, am shocked.
    Shocked I say.

    Like watching a game in League Two, haha.

    We were linked with the hat-trick scorer Pavlidis two years ago.

    Skates won again last night. Definitely don't see them going down with their home form being so good.

    Yeah they are way too good at home over the last few months and have got far too many goals in them to be in any real danger. Probably only thing that would do it for them is an injury crisis as I can't see them having much depth.
