    The silence is deafening

    TM said the other day in one of the CT pieces that it was unlikely we'd be able to sign a striker of the quality he wants as a permanent signing so we'd be looking at bringing a loan in, that won't happen until the PL teams finalise their squads. Of course it would be great to have the entire...

    Wage Budget

    Indeed 3 points are 3 points but surely it should be easy to pick up 3 points from teams at the bottom of the table than teams at the top?

    Football league highlights show moves to Channel 5

    I wonder if the TV execs have ever researched if people actually watch all the chat. With 3 divisions to cover I can imagine a lot of people watch a recording and fast forward to what they want to see.

    Mowbray went to watch Pennington

    He would be a welcome addition for sure. Can't see him making the trip if there's no chance of getting him, unless he was looking at someone else.

    Portsmouth (Away) Match Thread

    Assume he got kicked out as he seemed to disappear in the second half. Surprised he didn't get a slap to be honest. If he has got issues and does the same thing and gets kicked out at every games shouldn't someone be looking after him and reigning him in a bit? Not sure it as the brightest idea...

    Sustainability

    As a fan owned team we'd face exactly the same problem we do now. We have revenues, thats to crowd size, that should allow us to get out of L1 but we don't have the revenues to give us a good chance of sustaining Championship football let alone challenge for promotion to the PL. How long would...

    Burge is not good enough

    Maybe we've just been spoiled with the likes of Westwood and Murphy. Lets face it anyone that is good at all aspects of goalkeeping won't be playing in L1. Hopefully he will flourish as number one, if he doesn't we're likely to be scrambling around for a loan unless Charles-Cook is ready to...

    Football league highlights show moves to Channel 5

    Completely agree with this. Less waffle and more football.

    George Thomas

    Pretty sure Tuesday was the first time I'd seen him play. Was impressed but as others have said we need to be careful not to expect too much from him. Hopefully the squad will allow for him to be gradually introduced to the first team.

    Wage Budget

    Thats an important stat for me. As poor as we were for the majority of last season if we'd managed to beat 5 teams who finished below us we would have been challenging for the play offs. Just goes to show how poor this division is generally.

    Villa after 'Cov Kid'

    From when I started going in 86 it was always Villa as our rivals, don't remember Leicester ever getting a mention. Of course it didn't help that we didn't beat them for over 50 years. https://youtu.be/9SGxAc9QMiE Interesting watching that back. We all talk about the 'good old days' but that's...

    Blocks 37 or otherwise in this stand

    I've sat there in the past, to be honest if you dressed the part I doubt anyone would stop you going in to the bars.

    Our grounds too big for us (Sky Sports)

    I can take shit football if we're winning, it's shit football and losing every week that's the problem!

    If I were in charge of SISU's PR...

    If games are anything like music the retailer takes around 50%. Sure they would through the club shop so even if its only something like £5 profit a copy they'd sell a decent amount. Get whoever is on the cover to do a signing on launch day or something. It would literally only add a few pence...

    Walking Dead

    Probably not a bad idea to wait to be honest. So much stuff gets cancelled after one or two seasons and finishes on a cliffhanger. Makes you feel like you've wasted hours.

    If I were in charge of SISU's PR...

    Slightly off on a tangent but I've never understood why EA don't do custom covers for individual clubs. Would cost them next to nothing and get them a load of free advertising, have fans vote for the player and that kind of thing. Clubs would be happy as they could sell the game and make some...

    Our grounds too big for us (Sky Sports)

    We've had too many false dawns. Think we'd have to be top 6 around Easter for the possibility of the play offs to start having a significant impact on attendances.

    Portsmouth away (friendly)

    Can't imagine many travelling for 3 hours on a Tuesday night for a pre-season game so you're probably looking at those who live relatively local, no idea how many that is.
