Re: Colby Bishop Transfer Value
The 'churn' of players at L1/L2 level can only be resisted by investment as the scrap for loan and out of contract players undergoes its usual merrygoround. If the owners are up to do this, then keeping Colby would be a decent start. imo it will be Colby's own attitude which will decide what happens...

Re: Westwood
I think the club are becoming more aware his antics such as urinating in opposition stands and swearing are reflecting poorly on Pompey. I'm 65 so know what was ok in 1973 is not ok in 2023, and a bl**dy good job too. John has surely known for a while he needs to curb the more antisocial behaviours,...

Re: Protest Statement is out.
Got a bit bored after the first few sentences, who's first up against the wall come the revolution ? It doesn't feel the most grown up way to express dis-satisfaction but we're all capable of less mature actions when fustrated (well I am anyway). The fact is the trust could not afford to put the mon...

Re: what would it take
Well I'm a miserable old git who tends to moan about most things given a chance. However, where transfers or indeed Pompey's chances for a new season are concerned I always approach a new season with hope. No ruddy point supporting a team tbh if you dont. Of course in recent years it's not always be...

Re: Penny Mordaunt
I find myself in the strange position of wanting Liz Truss to win. She's an unprincipled, self centered idiot. However the best chance we have of an alternative to yet another Conservative governmentin 2yrs time is her making a complete balls-up of it. Penny did not impress me during the Admin dark ...

Re: Friends in high places.
bl**dy hell, just made the mistake of watching Penny's promotional video.
Apart from a fleeting glimpse of the spinnaker tower it looks like she's applying for the job just after ww2.
Keep your sick bags at the ready.

Re: It’s a strange game.
I always get a bit annoyed that defending well is not seen as a positive in the footy world. Media led ****** imo. I understand that goals galore is more entertaining for most, but anyone who's played the game even at Sunday league level knows the value and skill involved in defending. Don't enjoy t...

Re: OT: Grant McCann sacked at Hull Proves Football Is Nuts
It will be interesting to see how the new appointment does. Be funny if he buggers it up. McCann seems to be quite dignified about it all though I guess he got a sweetner to go quietly. Hull fans are always moaning about players, owners or management. My old mum comes from there and over the decades...

Re: Covid - Omicron Variant - I don't even know how to feel anymore.
If the current levels of postponements are anything to go by then I believe the biggest issue we will see in the next few weeks is not massive-scale deaths nor lockdowns but staff shortages caused by Omicron which could also have a devastating effect on hospitality, transport, education and the NHS...

Re: Ipswich game
In light of all that, letting Whatmough leave during the summer now seems grossly negligent, whether it was the manager or owners who were responsible. We don't know the salary figures involved, but even at a higher level L1 salary, Whatmough would now be worth every penny. At the time I was concer...

Re: Sacked in the Morning
OK, I will try to be patient….but the next generation of Pompey fans are drifting away ! Of my three teenage grandsons here on the IOW, only one is now a Pompey supporter, the other two have gravitated to The Premiership, put simply, they think the stuff we play (and often the oppositions we play a...

Re: Rotherham
The problem with dumping the brothers is (as always at this level) who is available, and would come here ?
It may be a very long season.
