Football Special

We didn't batter Wrexham. Should have been 5-5 , we were all over the place at times and the fact their finishing was bad was a blessing

As a fanbase I think we really have given the Sports Republic clowns an easy ride, they'd have got a lot more abuse at most clubs, however lose to Pompey and I think the gloves will be off and they'll have to develop a thick skin

It's not just one loss, we've been rubbish in every game I've seen Don't blame Still completely though, he's an inexperienced manager who needs to learn the league and get more streetwise

How I'd love another Broja style loan this week, that has to be our best bet for getting genuine quality rather than buying, just can't see it with SR recruitment involved

Why are we always so fucking shit at home to Stoke? Can change managers, players, divisions but we always manage to end up with the same outcome , definitely a bogey team for us

I agree, and if Armstrong is playing give him someone to play alongside, he only worked last time thanks to Adams

Yes , we've had some wise guys on here preaching that our pile of shite squad from last season will still be "good enough for the championship " despite us losing what little quality we had. Damion Downs will be worse than Sekou Mara

Spot on. Chatting to a Stoke fan, they were surprised how POOR we were. No surprise to us as we saw the shite they served up week in week out last season. Will Still has a lot to learn from the likes of Robins

Still plenty of tickets left , like the good old days pay on the day

Club seem to have a tie up with the Harbour hotel and use some of the facilities there assuming that's where you are, definitely a few players live in apartments close by. Club owned a couple they used for newly arrived players so possible Still is staying in the area as well (or sneaking in for breakfast and try to overhear Stoke's tactical plan)

I'm sure the club have a promising youngster from the German league lined up for about £7M

I agree , should be put on as part of the policing operation. I'm still not sure how they're going to park enough coaches for 2700 fans south of the Chapel , logistics will be interesting to get them in and out. Probably keep them in at the end as well.

Skates is category A* , it's the only home league game that will have this pricing. It's as much a stitch up for our fans as it is for them , they will pay £40 in block 28, we pay £55 in block 29

Apparently they are available, I think one of Downs or Stewart has to start

Depending where you're travelling from get the train in, pride festival has some road closures as well I think, those 4 cruise ships alone make the roads a nightmare before you add in 30k going to the football as well

Perfectly put 👏 the soft toys and mannequin in nonce corner should be put on display outside Fratton for eternity to remind them They're really angry at the ticket price even though it's the same as cheapest home end , foaming at the mouth just at the mention of the facking scummers

They've rebranded their Peado corner now , it's just called the Fratton End When I first saw that picture I thought it had to be a photoshop, truly captures their fanbase perfectly

They're actually better off than home fans, whole away bit £40 same as our corners but some of their seats would be in "flank" that we are paying £45 for. £22.50 for enforced travel seems steep. Bit of a shit away day really

Is there a FAQ "am I allowed to piss on the seats?"

Got to be better than the last Danish signing we made

Reminds me a bit of the Charlie Taylor signing , lots of appearances but a player I've never actually noticed before

Lol , I'll update my Facebook profile again to "I stand with Ukraine"

We've shifted a few last few days for Skates then, club will probably leave it on sale to just members if it's that close to a sell out. Stoke will be about 29k attendance then with lower away following as well, surprised they don't bring more with the free travel provided. Norwich - fantastic numbers sold 👏

Going to be interesting to see what we charge them , I reckon it will be £40 to match what our fans pay in corners and how much they get charged for compulsory travel. They'll probably have to meet at Fratton ridiculously early as well
