We absolutely need European relations to be strong. This undignified chasing of Trump is not going to bring dividends, he's so capricious that it's futile.

Heh! Well I meant that the gif might have made it seem like a cute story but it was no picnic for my wife. Endometriosis would have stopped us becoming parents just a generation earlier. Big thanks to our NHS for helping us over that hurdle.

Not to make it too cutesy but it was a long, long but ultimtely successful and thoroughly rewarding journey.

CDs were the first things I bought from you, Joel, I look forward to, at long last, another CD flick through!

Gonna be tough. QPR have turned it around, like us, since we played them at Lotus Road. If there's a win to be had I think there will be only one goal between the sides. Bishop to get on the scoresheet again for me!

Yep, unbelievable lack of empathy there from the cameraman and director.

What possessed them to doorstep the parents so early on? The news cycle now is not such that The Sun needed to be in first. Simply waiting for HO confirmations would have avoided all this. As if folk need more reasons to not buy this paper.

Imagine where they'd be if they had never appointed Rooney! Pushing for promotion probably 😆

I said earlier in the week, regarding their rejection of the EU AI regulations, that Labour need to stop playing to the gallery of people who didn't vote for them and start worrying about eroding the trust and support of those of us who did. #SickofStarmer

Absolutely! Have you got any pointers for the 25-26 season. Asking for a friend who is just off to the bookies...

True, it's been a tough run v Burnley, Baggies and Sunlun. There's deffo hope though.

Surely that was Edward VIII who comes third bottom only ahead of Cromwell and Henry VIII?

Imagine being angry at the ball. Plenty of things involved with watching the footy raise my blood pressure but I can honestly say that the colour of the matchball has never been one of them!

I know we've swung from victory to defeat these past few months but surely momentum is key. The thrashing on Sat was no way to prepare for tonight. Millwall beat Luton and took that forward into this match. JM needs a rethink.

At last, some good news. And what's more, he'll hate it yet the only way to stop it happening is for him to do the unthinkable – stop posting. Brilliant!

That's fair! I'm across a whole bunch of interests but when I nerd out, HK movies for example, I go deep!

Weird isn't it? The press usually love to harp on about how important they are (cf “It Was The Sun Wot Won It”) but somehow they've gone all coy in this instance.

No problem! One of the first books I bought for my Kindle way back when was Kate Colquhoun's Taste which still proves useful when I relate to whichever lucky family member is with me whenever the topic of table forks arises!

Tis true you were in a starter pack I followed. There is nothing in my bio to tell you about my interest in history but I do love visiting sites of interest; from the dockyard here in Portsmouth to sites up and down the country!

Well. This was the season that broke the donkey's back, to coin a phrase. Over a decade of (largely) piss-poor football and mismanagement I finally gave up my season ticket. By the end of August I was back, scrounging tickets and eventually my wife took pity and bought me a replacement ST.

Just got to get my head round selling stuff, especially stuff which I have owned for decades, it seems unnatural even though I know it will mean funding future purchases!

Ooh, I have this. I am considering trading it in seeing as it seems to be in demand and I also have a perfectly acceptable (yet valueless) CD copy!

Definitely more lively and engaging here than it has been.
C'mon in, the sky is bluer!

I generally like Robins and, as ever, a manager is going to have a slanted viewpoint. The card tally of 5 for Stoke to 2 for us belies his assertion of us fouling them. Add in the fact that Seko was lucky not to get 2 bookings rather than just 1, which would have further changed the game.

Remember this image really well! I was a big Aidy Whitbread fan; the late winner he scored at Elm Park around '97 caused such commotion on the away terrace that my mate lost his glasses! Amazingly we found them unbroken as the crowd dispersed at the final whistle. Lucky really as he was our driver!

Not far from true that! We have only lost 2 more than Blackburn who sit in the final play-off spot.
Although I would rather stay in this division for another season or two to acclimatise!

Last ten games or so show how short of match fitness he was when he first arrived back. He runs more than most of the rest of the squad combined!
Prem class showing through now I think.

All about chasing lost causes tonight and Pompey wanted it more. Much more. Brilliant response after the drubbing in the reverse fixture.
Just need to take our home form on the road.

Enough screens there to watch all the Sky+ games simultaneously 😝

How are our politicians, across the board, able to justify remaining on there? Plenty of other ways to reach their constituents.
