Re: Back from the game

What is it about Pompey and being on TV? In recent times we have not fared well in front of the cameras. Anyway, I've seen quite a lot of us this season, home and away, and we are far better than we showed on Thursday night. I came away feeling that we let ourselves down badly, and just when we had...

Re: Jamal Lowe

He is 22 and his height is 1.83 metres which I think makes him just over 6 feet tall. I don't know his weight. He scored 23 goals in 31 appearances for Hampton. Thanks for that BB - appreciated. Not sure his goals for Hampton will mean much in Division 2 (if he plays) but at least he knows where th...

Re: Jamal Lowe

Just saw the interview on Pompey Player. He seems a very pleasant and confident young chap. I wonder how long it will take him to get up to fitness for league football. Getting a place on the bench won't be easy with all the strikers we have at present, as I think has been mentioned on another thre...

Re: Happy new year

I wish you all a Happy New Year and 15 wins for Pompey between January and May. I would very much like to see the second part of your wish come true LiT but not necessarily all in the same year. So would I! But I've seen nothing this season that leads me to believe that we can rubber stamp a move i...

Re: Yeovil and Luton

Well.....Pompey, when you expect them to deliver have a habit of sliding less then gracefully on the proverbial banana skin. It would be nice if our New Year greeting for 2017 was 6 points, but I have a gut feeling that it won't happen. To my mind the most important game is the clash with Doncaster ...

Re: January Transfer Window 2017 Wishes

Here's the thing about the goalie...only 1 team in the league has shipped less goals and Pompey have by far and away more clean sheets than anyone.....FACTS. Up front only 2 teams have hit the back of ye olde onion bag more often......FACT So I'm not convinced by all this chitty chat about keepers ...

Re: New Year's Resolution -

Don't make resolutions as I know I would be unable to keep them , or at least last until the 3rd of January.. I don't know, maybe stop smoking, but I don't really want to. We're all aware of the inherent risks it carries, but as a non-drinker and someone who doesn't take unnecessary risks, will see...

The Premier League Show

I've got a lot of time for Gabby Logan, one of our better presenters who can front programmes for a lot of different sports and still present with authority allied with humour - however, the latest offering of the 10 Greatest Moments of 2016 had me baffled. For starters, she appeared to be operating...

Re: New Year's Resolution -

You all know I have modest tastes as befits a man of impeccable breeding and underwear, but I feel that there might be a place for those souls who have a penchant for self- flaggulation which would meet the growing demands of miserable old gits.....I would remind everyone that 'gits' have feelings, ...

Re: Addiction

The usage of the ellipsis that really irritates me is the-end-of-the-sentence-I'm-so-clever-it-hurts ellipsis. This ellipsis is particularly prevalent on message-boards. The one advantage MTB is that they earn you the attention of your peers....you are no longer an unsurprising, some might say unre...

Re: Solar Panels

Does anyone have Solar Panels on their home , if so , what do you think of them ? Do they save money in the long term etc ?
