    Transfer Rumour January transfer window

    Does anyone think FL could make a cheeky loan bid for Mason Mount? Gives him half a season to try to revive his flagging career. I know money etc but sometimes name, personal relationship can swing it. Stranger things have happened, like Joe Cole coming here

    Reminds us that if a security guard had not pushed for charges for the upskirting offence none of this would ever have come to light. It's time to make "minor" sex offences more red flags, including of juveniles. Everyone who investigates crimes knows that most serious offenders start small then...

    Match Thread Portsmouth FC - Coventry City Match Thread - Saturday 21st Dec

    Harsh on Allen, if he is discarded without playing again. He has been a good servant to the club. Yes we all know he is on the way out but doesn't deserve to be ignored.

    Keepers going down feigning injury

    Free kick to opposition on centre spot, every time. Not a damaging punishment but just enough of a deterrent to a GK who doesn't want to face an incoming attack.

    Frustrating to watch all the huffing and puffing with no end product.

    XG

    If you have eyes and a memory better than a goldfish you don't need xg to tell you that we waste goalscoring opportunities and gift soft goals against.

    Musings of a fan

    Some people on here pointed out that you can't sell your star players and expect to progress. They were shouted down by the 'Brentford model' and some such guff. Yes it can work if you replace them with other gems but this is so rare as to be wishful thinking. I know the arguments that they...

    https://www.premierleague.com/footballandcommunity/RainbowLaces Stonewall is a political organisation. The piece above makes explicit that the FA is adopting Stonewall policies.

    Not political? I think some people feel this is being forced. The LGBT etc is such a broad category where would you start trying to identify a gap in products or services which requires an engineer to find a solution? In the same vein the rainbow campaign shows support for a group that is so...

    Correction - the New Testament was originally written in Greek, the Koine Greek version from the first century. There may have been fragments that were translations from Aramaic or Hebrew but this is disputed by scholars.

    A thought experiment. If the victim had realised what was happening and confronted her husband then fled to the police, would anyone believe her? My view is No. The police would be reluctant to investigate. If he has time to destroy a lot of evidence she would be nowhere. I think the husband was...
