Football Ramble
A proper Portsmouth weekend
•
Managers dodging handshakes, penalties getting skied over bars, blokes wearing shirts with very specific messages for pedos, and Pete making inappropriate jokes about Luke. You know what that means? Football is back!
Marcus, Vish, Luke and Pete revel in Portsmouth’s barn-burning return to the Championship, while Andre Onana gives us a taste of his masterplan for the season ahead. Meanwhile, Matthjis De Ligt seeks judicial immunity inside Old Trafford and Chelsea’s spending gets so out of hand they sign a made-up player.
Now take that all down in Noel Gallagher’s handwriting, would ya?
