Well we all know why no action was taken in the Van Djick instances. Now who does he play for again.......?????

He is paying attention to him as he kept glancing in the QPR's players direction. Why the hell does The Lord Mayor then decide to shove his arm out to block the player? It was stupid and gave the FA the perfect excuse to sanction him. Not a sending off as the player should have had an Oscar for his reaction mind.

Indeed and against two sides in the bottom three. When we trudge out v Millwall on Boxing Day we may well be looking at a run of 1 point from our last four matches as we are extremely likely to lose our next two if we reproduce QPR and Pompey performances.

Very lucky it wasn't a red!

Much truth in this. When it works it can be very pleasing and particularly at home we can beat anybody. Away from FCR, though, that's a different world and our 'progressive' coach is struggling to figure out a way to cope. He could start by resting Doyle who looks shot both physically and mentally. Also he should play a square peg in a square hole at left back. His substitutions yesterday were bizarre. If you're going to bring on Barnes at 2-0 down then FFS put him right upfront with Crnac. Instead he played in some kind of midfield role for which we all know he is totally unsuited. Then to cap it all he brings on a defensive midfielder at 3-0 down when there were attacking options on the bench. Argos must have been wondering what the hell was going on. I like the way Thorop talks to the media and certainly doesn't shirk in interviews but he needs to some serious work before Tuesday. Pompey is a bear pit compared to Loftus Road and we will get turned over again if we produce another QPR style show.

Unfortunately just taken the lead. Someone called 'M. Aarons' is on the bench and must be taking some fearful stick as he warms up.

If you had the misfortune to be at Loftus Road yesterday you would have seen him teeing up 'attackers' (I use that term generously you understand!) in shooting practice. Nearly all said shots screamed into the old mobile practice net yet very strangely none of this could be replicated when the real action started.

Hopefully not as crowded as today. Downstairs was very cramped. There is an upstairs so there may be more space there. Food and service top class though.

Indeed! Twas Samuel Johnson of course and the quote holds good today in my most humblest of opinions.

After that incredible decision to bring on Sorenson at 3-0 down when he had attacking options on the bench, might I suggest JHT gives himself a good old fashioned talking to!!

We all know that early season the boy put in some immense performances. He's only just turned 21 and has already made a huge number of appearances in the professional game. It's been abundantly clear for several weeks that he needs resting. After today that is even more apparent. To wheel him out again at Portsmouth at cwntre half or some kind of 'inverted left back' role would be madness. Thorop has options. He must now use them.

Whilst I would probably draw a line at living in London, I need no encouragement to visit. Love getting down here. Despite being overtaken.by many African and Asian cities in terms of population size it remains one of the most famous cities in the world. If anyone emerges from Westminster tube station, glances up to the left and doesn't go 'WOW' then said people are very difficult to please! Just been to the Polo Bar cafe opposite Scouse Street station which is a very quirky British cafe. Cost by today's standards was more than reasonable and the hard working staff very friendly and efficient.

Fortunately no problem at all getting to Scouse Street. Train was el rammo but probably something to do with the upcoming festive season.

That was them being pessimistic according to some on TWTD. Others were openly boasting about a European qualification campaign to ....'get the club back to its rightful position'!!

So Chelski as usual at HOME v minnows and Scousers as usual at HOME v minnows!! So predictable, its become very boring and annoying in equal measure.
