Agreed, as long as we take care of what we do, 'control the controllables' as Adkins puts it, it really doesn't matter what anyone else does. I'd hope that's the exact attitude the players take (and it appears that they do). Doesn't stop us fans from hoping the other teams mess their own chances up though...

West Ham have a tricky game at home to Derby, while Boro have an even trickier game away to, uh, the other Boro... (Peterborough v Middlesbrough) As long as we put in a good perfomance and manage to get the win, I can see us extending our lead at the top.

I don't think he'll ever be a tournament player for England, but I do think it's possible he'll earn a cap, a bit like Kevin Davies did.

Yeah, Milwall were giving them too much space in midfield, they won't get that luxury against us.

Brilliant start for Appleton. One game in charge and he's already managed to halve the gap Pompey had above the relegation zone!

The whole team is incredibly fit, constant movement on and off the ball not only creates space for us, but also closes down space for the opposition. Not only that, but we have a lot of players with the technical ability to really make USE of that space we create.

If we do get promoted this season, and he manages to step up again, never mind doing well in the Prem, I can see him breaking into the England team, a bit like Kevin Davies did.

I would join in with that chant

Poll added for you. Hard to argue with the hat trick hero for me, although once again it was a great team performance.

Was well outside the box, but the ref had a shocker... one of the few games where the ref managed to get both sets of fans hopping mad. Probably just about evened itself out in the end, but I'd be amazed if he's refereeing a game next week.

The shot WAS going in. I had a perfect view in line with the path of the ball in the Chapel/Kingsland corner and the keeper tipped it round. How a goal kick was given....

20 points and 24 goals better off after 17 games... Awesome ^^

Wait... was that the referee from THAT Leeds game? I said today was the worst reffing I'd seen since that Leeds game, didn't realise it was the same one! It wasn't bad because it seemed biased today... it was just terrible... the number of decisions that he got wrong just kept mounting up and up and up >_

National newspapers and media have picked this up and are running with it. I have to admit the picture the Daily Mail decided to use did make me laugh... http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2063168/Gus-Poyet-prepared-court-prove-Luis-Suarez-racist.html

Do you think BBC knew something was about to happen? http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-15752918

And developments like this explain why this thread exists... why it's become legendary... and why even Pompey fans follow it to keep track of their own club.

The £2M Celtic wanted in the last transfer window was overpriced for the recent form he'd shown. With his form for us since joining, he'd be worth every penny of the £2M Celtic want, if they're still willing to accept that sort of price.

Anyone else play The Elder Scrolls games? First impressions, I'm liking this game a lot! This is Skyrim, so an axe wielding Nord seemed appropriate for my first character...

Winning the Champions League/Prem with Eastleigh is always the challenge I set myself, although might change it to Totton for FM2013 if they get promoted this season. Managed it in FM2010 and 2011, missed out on the Prem title with FM2009 (but still managed somehow to win the Champs League)

I'm not 'ITK'. It's just idle speculation on my part lol.

There's probably still a media blackout on the whole thing.

If Storrie has been found not guilty because of turning Queen's Evidence, I guess it's possible he's dropped Pompey right in it in doing so...

I believe caffeine would fall into that group.

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/twitter/8877167/Six-year-project-to-tweet-the-Second-World-War.html If anyone's interested in WWII, you might want to follow that. It's only since following that for a while I've realised that looking back at WWII in history, I never really thought about the fact that they couldn't see what was coming next. I've seen it all in a whole new light compared to looking at the war as a whole and knowing how it turned out.

I guess anyone can dream...
