    What are your feelings of gordan strachans time as manager here

    I think the way a manager's spell with a club ends always looms large over their legacy, and the end with Strachan was an especially grim time for the club overall. I think he was very much a man of a previous era, and was in charge during a time when other teams were professionalising and...

    Birmingham was just hype IMO. But yes, the collapse of Sheffield United has only opened the door wider for us. Totally unprecedented opportunity for a non-parachute payment team to win the league, amazing that it looks like it could be us.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c629zvnd5lno Part of the problem with having such a deeply unpopular government is that you lose the ability to do anything that requires basic co-operation or buy-in from the general public.

    Ellis simms

    I think Lampard in his time here has generally started EMC whenever he has the opportunity. Given that EMC usually has to come off at some point in any given game, I would expect it to be him and BTA on either flank, with Sakamoto coming on for cameos. Which, let’s be honest, sounds fucking...

    Not that I agree with every word of it, but think Jonathan Liew’s column on the Villa game is the best piece I’ve seen on the matter so far https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2025/oct/21/standing-with-maccabis-football-hooligans-against-local-police-is-that-what-patriotism-looks-like-now

    It really is the best league in the world, and it is kind of a shame that we’re not going to be playing in it for much longer.

    Pompey Player Ratings

    I think expectations for him coming in were way too high from the start, probably because it’d been a while since we signed a new LB. As a cheap signing from a lower tier foreign club, I don’t think we can be too upset with the return we’ve had so far.

    Your determination to thump yourself in the face over Ellis Simms, even after he’s had a good game, is becoming quite sad.

    Thomas Asante

    When you absolutely, positively have to finish a chance from two yards out, accept no substitutes. Can’t remember a fringe player hitting a run of form like this, I’m absolutely delighted for him. He oozes charisma as well.
