Robbie Savage gave Posh a bit of new manager bounce and beat Leicester. Leicester had 70% possession, 20 shots. Lost 3-1.

Heard a stat, Chelsea haven't played outside of London yet this season. Looked it up, it's true.

That’s what happens when you appoint Russell Martin as your manager, he’s astonishingly unwilling to adapt his style no matter how often it fails.

How dare you. It wasn't his fault. It's the mentality/fans/players/wind/type of grass that's to blame.

Went to Saints-Pompey today, and it was a cracking derby. 

Fair play to the Pompey fans, they were incredibly loud and to be fair to the Saints fans, who are often absolutely shit, they were too.

I don't really have any skin the game but prefer Saints to win as someone who's close to me works there so it directly affects her job if they go up, but even not particularly caring who won, I felt the tension too.

Really feisty, the ref was terrible, the red card spoiled it (although it was warranted) but yeah those two cities absolutely hate each other, and you can really feel it. I dunno if the bubble bus situation will continue forever, and it does mean the edge is slightly lost, but it's obviously a lot easier to police. I had a bloody chopper above my gaff at 7am! Bit much.

I never really realised how deep it was before I moved down here, but even people who have no interest in football despise each other.

My ex said to me "Must be nice to see a win" ffs.

He's not wrong. He's absolutely not the man to fix it but it's a club that's been relegated three times in four seasons, is hemorrhaging money, has had horrific recruitment for years, is up for sale and has lost all identity. 

Everything at Leicester can be summed up by the fact that someone appointed Russell Martin.

Really enjoyed a “quick season” though in typical Spurs fashion every 3-0 at Old Trafford was followed swiftly by resting a couple and losing 5-1 at Portman Road. Even more typically, I was 4th for most of the season until a dip in form for the last two games saw me finish 5th.

C’est la Spurs.

I play Champ Man 01/02 with an update of last seasons database so this sort of thing is out there anyway.
