Thread | SONG DU JOUR - Charlie Taylor
at 07:13 24 Jul 2024
With the season approaching, is it not time to revisit Nick’s idea of a song for a player each day?
Just thought this one up whilst humming along to ABBA; obviously any song has to include a Pompey reference…..
Gimme, gimme, gimme
A left-back from Burnley
Charlie Taylor’s ours now
And he hates the Pompey
A sure-fire smash you’ll all agree….

A few rumours today about us signing him from Villarreal.
Don’t know a lot about him, other than him having played as a striker for Blackburn and Sheffield United. |

Would be disappointing if we lost him for a pittance, having seen hardly anything of him…..

Thread | Three goals and two assists in the Championship last season
at 10:32 20 Jul 2024
Those are the stats of Sekou Mara.
From 29 games in a largely winning team, most of which he came off the bench for.
The previous season, he scored one goal in 22 Prem appearances, admittedly in a poor team.
At the risk of being accused of starting a witch-hunt, does anybody seriously think those are stats of a player who we can call on to do the business for us in the Prem?
His appearance last night should be a cause for alarm.
He has had more than enough chances to show what he can do.
Time to move him on. |

Incoming.
Great news if we can do this, particularly at the reported £18m fee…..

Thread | Top 5 grounds I am excited about going to next season
at 13:45 5 Jun 2024
1. Boscombe - If he's playing for us, Fraser would get a battering from their lot. I would love him to score an injury-time winner and then really milk it in front of their fans.
2. Brentford - not done their new ground
3. Palace - always enjoyed going there; I love the earthy feel of the place.
4. Ipswich - best atmosphere of last season outside the play-off games, I thought. We owe them a stuffing or two.
5. Chelsea - I like the safe standing there; decent atmosphere in the away end. Drank in Fulham when we last played there, which I would recommend.
Forest also gets a notable mention; not been there in many a year.
Fulham is OK as well. Although I don't get as excited about going there as many others seem to. |

Thread | Top 5 grounds I am not excited about going to next season
at 13:34 5 Jun 2024
1. Wolves - I really hate that away end; deliberately positioned to ensure no atmosphere.
2. Newcastle - great night out; and there it ends.
3. West Ham - decent craft beer place nearby; and there it ends.
4. Everton - it's just a bloody awful view; and we usually lose, unless we have a genius like Nathan Jones in charge.
5. Man. City - well, it would be a tough game...... |

Thread | Top 5 goals of the Season
at 12:09 2 Jun 2024
Put together in a bit of a rush, but here goes....
1. Rothwell v Huddersfield (home)
2. Armstrong v Leeds (Wembley)
3. Fraser v Hull (away)
4. Brooks v Birmingham (away)
5. Walker-Peters v Preston (away)
Probably missed out a few which should have been included, in truth. |

Thread | Oriol Romeu
at 07:37 29 May 2024
This talk of signing ex-players like Lallana and Ings.
Both over the top.
Romeu played 28 games for Barca this season, so clearly still somewhere near his prime, even at 32.
He is absolutely one of the first players I would be looking for us to sign.
If we could tempt him to leave Barca, that is…. |

Thread | Sunday is NOT "a good day out"
at 08:26 23 May 2024
As the title says.
This is the biggest game for the club since Swansea away in May 2018.
This is a chance to cement a winning mentality and to shape the destiny of the club for the next 5-10 years.
Lose, and we risk being in the doldrums for a number of years, possibly overtaken by the shower up the road.
Win, and we could stabilise the club within the Prem and get back towards the heady days of Koeman.
I hate a lot about the Prem, particularly the detestable way that VAR sucks the joy out of the game.
However, to use a tent analogy, with the Prem the lesser of two evils is to be on the inside pissing out than on the outside pissing in.
Please do not go to the game on Sunday with the mentality that if we lose it has been a good day out. We have to be far better than that; Leeds fans will not be like that.
Roar the lads on to victory and get us out of the wilderness as a club.
We simply HAVE to win. [Post edited 23 May 8:33]

An atmosphere to rival that tomorrow night would do me.
Even Strachan, notoriously hard to please when it came to support from the fans, said we were good that day. |
