opposing fans I'm afraid I have to say incendiaries should be kept out of football grounds Sanders hope he's alright finally on a well now this is this is a downer if it's true I have to share this with you I'm not totally convinced that it's true but a mate of mine Tom

who I see in the lounge that I go to, Pompey, he told me that he'd just been talking to Eric Eisner in the lounge.

That was before I arrived.

I was a bit late.

And I'm not... I don't think he was taking the mig out of me, but it's always possible he does.

But I believe him.

I believe it is true that Eric was there, but...

I haven't actually checked this out, Sounders.

I'm just talking to you about it, but I haven't actually checked out that it's true that he was there.

I'm sure he would have made himself hugely available publicly and given interviews left, right and centre had he and his family not been on the receiving end of

ridiculously, unreasonable, ignorant, ill-informed moaning during this transfer window.

Do you think he wants to talk to people after all that?

I mean, of course, if he was over, he would have been talking to John Massigno and all the important people at Fratton Park and sussing out what was going on in the window and

all sorts of business that they have to get involved in.

But he certainly didn't make himself publicly available, did he?

Was he there?

Yeah, I think he was.

Well, I've no doubt someone will tell me about that.

Probably you know before I do, whether that's true or not.

It is time to pass the baton on to the next game, which is another big one.
