League One review don’t fancy us

Laughter is the jam on the toast of life. It adds flavor, keeps it from being too dry, and makes it easier to swallow.

Thanks. I know these are just op ed pieces but I found this a bit harsh:

Now, having been dissatisfied by the lack of return on his investments into the playing squad, chairman Michael Eisner has made swingeing cuts to the budget, which is tantamount to setting up the pair as scapegoats for a situation they didn’t even create.

I may be proved wrong, but I think that this review is laughable.

Bit of a stretch to call this guy a journalist. Medium is a site anyone can sign up to and post any old *****. As is evident from this article lol.

Well I don't know. look at his profile. Sounds like just the person you would ask to know the insider info on Fratton Park....

I once met a guy who used to run a Pompey website and he couldn't string a sentence together, thought 'grammar' was a type of school and was just the most terrible writer. Didn't stop him declaring himself to be a professional journalist at every opportunity though.

That's the problem with the internet and if I see the word 'Opinion' on any Newsnow article link I can promise you I avoid it like the plague!

As for the OP, I actually think that providing we can get a few more faces through the door, we'll surprise a few people this season and end up around the play off places. And this is coming from an eternal pessimist.

I've got to be honest, at the start of the summer, with all the people exiting, and very few entering, I would have agreed with him. However, Ogilvie apart, he hasn't mentioned any of our signings, so it strikes me that he hasn't done so much research on us as he has the other teams. I am hoping that we'll prove him soundly wrong, although I do think we'll probably struggle to get in the playoffs.

So that's ten in so far. With probably another couple over the line after today's friendly, job almost done. But midfield is still looking dangerously bereft.
