No, Rich Hughes has found great additions with his budget, and should rightfully be applauded for it. They’ve been great. But it would lessen the likes of Kilip, Le Roux, Bianchini, Blair, Kirk, Alese, Bowat etc etc having to make up the squad.
From that, it looks like the general consensus on them seems to somewhere between 'yeah and meh'. About where I'm at really, like the SWSC. Just wish they could push on with the playing budget, bring the 'big spend' on players up to the £2.5/3m mark. It's proven that that will bring better quality.
He’s just mustard isn’t he!? Gives us SO much. 👏
Bloody brilliant to finally see Chappers on the scoresheet! 🙌 He loved that, didn’t he!? And great goal from Alli too! #Pompey 💙
Decent first half from #Pompey We’re definitely more ’up for it’ than them. Two massive saves from Schmid. Wouldn’t be surprised to see Pack or Poole on soon at centre back. We can do this! 🙏
How the south coast derby from #Pompey isn’t on a ‘proper’ Sky channel today is an absolute disgrace. Bumping it down to Sky Sports + is criminal. And they wonder why people are leaving their services in droves? 🤷♂️🤦♂️ Anyway, let’s get in to them early on. MASSIVE day #ElClasicoast 💙
If so, and if we don’t get the firepower and ammunition we desperately need, you could potentially almost call it a…
St. Valleyntine’s Day massacre.
😜
Stuck. There’s a truism.
I think 40/1 on this bet is pretty short! Don’t normally bet against us, but needed to do something to try and make it a positive experience! 😜
Magical Macclesfield! 👏 What a match…so far!
The piece didn’t actually say they won’t take him back. It said: “they are happy for him to stay” which implies there could be an option to return him, if ‘we’ aren’t happy for him to stay. Time will tell.
We haven’t got a pot to pee in.
Knight, Kosznovszky and Le Roux (all about £1m, and not good enough) were over-inflated due to overspending, brought on by the likes of Birmingham & Wrexham.
What is Tornante’s raison d’être with #Pompey ? I’m struggling to understand. We need better. And more money
An incredibly poor signing, who showed little talent and desire to keep him whilst he was playing. Swansea might well be happy for him to stay; doesn’t mean we should be. Clear him out to create space. But please, get a wriggle on!
Very interesting addition of the word ‘probably’ in front of “…too early” when John Mousinho was discussing the chance of a Colby Bishop return for #Pompey on Sunday. Call me cynical, but with Mous having previous on these matters, that means he’s playing, to me. The old version of Bish please! 🙏
If #Arsenal rock up at Fratton Park on Sunday, and play as badly against #Pompey as they did tonight against Liverpool…
…we might get away with just 0-4.
(Even with their anticipated ‘second-string’. 🤦♂️)
What a night! Again! Conor Shaughnessy doing what Conor Shaughnessy does! Just as he did against Barnsley. Then for Yang Min-hyeok to get that winner...Stunning! Amazing comms from
@mrandrewmoon.bsky.social
as always. Wonderful stuff! 🙌 #Pompey 💙
Sometimes, it’s quite enjoyable to have #Pompey as one of your four edits to cut for the ITV EFL Highlights show! 😜 Especially when your producer is also a Pompey fan! 🙌 Awful first half, but my word, what a crazy end! 💙 Enjoyed Nathan Jones saltiness too! 🤣
Later angle showed Matthews played him on.
Nah, Matthews played him on.
Earls Court. Very recognisable with those unique destination boards!
Oh, how we’ve missed Callum Lang! 🙌💙 #Pompey Great work from Murphy, again, and good flick on from Bishop.
Hear! Hear!
FSA statement: World Cup ticket prices are scandalous thefsa.org.uk/news/world-c...
My god, this draw is the most painful thing EVER. Get on with the fucking draw you morons. #FIFAworldcupdraw
Nailed that translation Jonathan Pearce! Now, just get on with the bloody draw. No one cares for all the shit around it. Pearcey’s disdain is ours. 🥱
Get off that stage Trump. The greatest tournament in the world has no place for you. Utter disgrace from FIFA and Infantino inventing that pathetic trophy just for him. 🤦♂️🤮
Deep and insightful. Will lump on! 😜
You’d have thought so John wouldn’t you? But the word ‘has’ should be changed to ‘needs’ in that headline. As I really can’t see anything changing today against Bristol City. They’re just not a good enough group of players. Substandard. #Pompey
‘Super Sub’ Nicky Morgan?
What a silly sausage Nick was, letting Joe down! 😜 Bless Alan’s reaction to winning though. Must have been fun but tough participating in that! For someone who works in TV, the production values of that were off the scale! So well shot, lit, crafted, edited and delivered. Superb viewing.
Fantastic recap of so many memorable matches Neil. Reminds me why I wouldn’t swap supporting this rollercoaster of a club and how proud I am to be a #Pompey fan. 💙 Pleased to say, even though I’ve lived in London since ‘97, I was at probably >70% of those games! Here’s to many more, for both of us!
