"They're a category one club and they spend absolute fortunes on their academy whereas we're the bare bones - we scrape by and do the best we can" "They've spent some money on buying players from other clubs to put into their U18s. We haven't got the luxury of doing that so its all local lads. Our local lads will go out there with pride to prove a point that its not the be all and end all that they go out and buy players from other clubs and make them stronger" "We've sold over 500 tickets, going on towards 600, with more turning up on the night"

12 points right there...

They couldn't have made that look any more amateur if they tried! And it was all "Coppell this, Coppell that". It feels like they only employed Barker because Coppell came as part of the package. I almost feel sorry for Barker... And then McInnes 'jokes': "We couldn't find anyone cheaper"... cue awkward grin from Barker. In fact, Barker had a "what the **** have I let myself in for?" look on his face throughout... Time to get the popcorn warmed up again me thinks... p.s. and at McInnes criticising there being "too much betting in Football" with the SkyBet logo behind him

I've no idea. I'm sure its just a big coincidence the way it panned out...

Yes, and they're still ****ing paying for it you twonk... A little over 24 hours in the job and he's already trotting out the usual "look how great we are" platitudes...

It's ok. If/when they beat us we can discreetly remind them that most of our teenagers play in either the u21s or in the premier league. I'm sure they'll appreciate the context of any win rather than banging on about it for years to come...

We've bought Acers for is and the kids over the last few years and never had any problems. Good budget machines IMO

Pompey have sold c.500

@SonnyBradley91: I thought it was a harmless photo, obviously a lot of People don't feel the same way, and if you was offended I apologise ? @davesargent: @SonnyBradley91 mate, so long as u give 100% on the pitch you can fraternise with the pony fiddling, diving scummer bastard if u want ? @whcallum: @SonnyBradley91 you clearly don't understand the rivalry between the clubs. Shows lack of respect to the club and fans.

Agree with this. Rickie is probably our best 'through ball' player and Osvaldo is crying out for such deliveries with the runs he makes.
