It makes no difference, but we didn't.

Hull kicked off and I nudged the bloke next to me and said, how come Hull have got the kickoff if they won the toss and said, we're gonna turn you round so that you are facing the way you don't wanna face first and second half?

And I don't know still to this day what happened there.

Was it a tactic devised by Pack and Mussino to try and maximise our advantage of...

playing towards attacking the Fratton end, and maybe coming in at half-time, one or two goals up, because the crowd can suck the ball into the net, and that's where we'd like to be, with an advantage going into the second half, even though we're kicking towards the Milton end in the second half, was it a new tactic?

Because to my knowledge, Pompey have always, if they win the toss, chosen to defend the Fratton end in the first half.

I can't ever remember us not...

Can you?

Can anybody?

So is something going on?

And if so, what?

And should we know?

And do we care?

I do.

You do.

We should do.

And we also care about the fact that we're going into a Saturday afternoon.

I'm talking to you now at quarter to three.

Games will be kicking off in 15 minutes.

Proper games of football.
