I'm going to go out on a limb and say that Pompey don't just get something, but they nick a win.

There.

Now you've got an interesting prediction.

Pompey, 2-1.

Wow, well done the EFL.

That's a classic example of PTB passing the buck.

It's nothing to do with us.

You'll have to tell FIFA about it because they don't want to get involved.

Because it's labyrinthine, that's to say, it's a maze, it's a moral maze, who can tell?

Is he likely to send his players out there telling them that they've got to go for every 50-50, they've got to risk a broken leg out there because they want to win in this friendly against Wales so much?

But that their international futures depend on the performance that they give.

And as a consequence, they return to their clubs.

All these players who are involved in with all these players from clubs which are involved in the relegation battle from the championship.

And there's plenty of them.

Are they going to return to their clubs bruised and battered because they played on Tuesday night in a little friendly against Wales?

It doesn't seem very likely.

But what you can glean from this is this, and it's I think valuable.

It is that Oxford United are worried.

OK, they've got four players who might be involved.

We've only got one.
