Harry

Looks like he’ll be the new Liverpool manager. I remember a time, only a short four years ago, when he was linked with the managers role here (when he was at AZ). I think he was at something like 20-1 at one time. But old Ashton plumped for Dean Holden after a 6 week rigorous and vigorous comprehensive worldwide search. What might have been eh??!!

I’ve cracked it mate. Buy one in the Family Stand, invent a phantom 8 year old in order to be eligible. Total £460. Then sit somewhere in the South Stand where there will always be an empty seat somewhere due to other phantom 8 year olds. If you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em!!

You’re the one who mentioned him?

But it was still a very sad day for Argentina

That EFL statement in horrendous. They just don’t get it. All they mention in there is that things were previously discussed but there were no financial agreements. Basically they are saying that if they get some more money they’ll agree to it. They don’t appear to mention anything about the joy of the competition and how enticing and exciting it can be for fans of non prem teams to be drawn against superior opposition. The chance of a battling draw at home to be given the opportunity of a lifetime for some players and certainly of fans to visit the top teams and stadiums. There is zero connection to any emotions in that statement. It’s just all financial. And we’re expected to believe that the likes of Parry, Ridsdale and Moxey sat there and said nothing! Yeah right.

And we wouldn’t have had our tinpot celebration days this season!!

Is there any comment from our club on this yet?

Don’t know if it’s the same lads but there was always a decent bunch of old school Pompey lads who we always met up with at England away days. Pete Mayes and his mob. Thoroughly good blokes.

Don’t think they do the topless barmaids any more though

That 3-3 in 1992 was an interesting game - both on and off the pitch!

Hi Bart. Do you guys have any rivalry with Royal Antwerp? We have a couple of Antwerp fans who come over and watch us quite regularly (a strange connection that started with an online disagreement after they visited us for a friendly but ended with a good friendship - a few of us were treated very well when we visited Antwerp too). For pubs - guess it depends what you’re looking for. The Mardyke was suggested above - good cheap pub that is often frequented pre match by ‘lads’. The Nova Scotia is a nice pub with outdoor seating by the river. Your more discerning gentleman would be present here. El Rincon (otherwise known as The Spanish Bar) is a small pub but the lads in there are great and here you’ll find some of the Section 82 lads (those who you’d likely call Tifosi). I’m sure they’d make you feel welcome. @James For just a more normal pub near the ground there’s the Rising Sun or The Robins. And course nowadays there is the Fan Zone at the ground with lots of food and drink available. Loads of other pubs and bars, especially on North Street for before and after. Here’s the contribution by one of our Antwerp chaps when we played Man City in the cup semi final a couple of years ago …..

Yep. And being on the sub goalie and a kid. Ridiculous behaviour

Personally I like football being on every day. When there’s no fixtures, like I think there was last Monday, it feels a bit odd.

Which was exactly why we used some rather colourful language when he was filming in earshot. I didn’t give my consent so I didn’t wanna make the cut! Our conversation this morning recalling the moment :

Yeah could be. That’ll be hilarious, if Liverpool want him but he goes to Madrid. Those humble scousers won’t understand, as they think they are the only attraction
