Nothing like it.

So they couldn't have predicted it.

But that doesn't mean to say that they have to smart about how far out they were against QPR and take it out on Pompey by predicting that we're going to get steamrolled by...

Norwich, surely it would be much more interesting and possibly more realistic to say there's a chance that this game might not go according to the form book.

Norwich might be just a little bit, a little bit, not smug, but a little bit complacent.

It might be that eight out of the ten outfield players for Norwich will think to themselves, well, I'm not going mad here.

Somebody else can do the business.

I'll run around as though I care, but I'm already thinking about, I am thinking about the beach.

So we'll see.

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.
