Centre Backs ..........Malcolm Waldron, Reuben Agboola perhaps??

Bob Charles, born in Bursledon, was an England Youth 'Keeper (I think) then played 26 games in the 1959/60 season, so a regular for one season. Gerry Gurr was another young 'keeper that came through the ranks after signing on from Guildford City. Both of these are quite tenuous and it does seem that the club can develop lots of talented outfield players but not a decent 'keeper.

Apparently there are 14 Sports were males and females can participate on equal terms. Sumo wrestling is one that is not included.

If he is Russian and does sign. will he refuse to play in away games when our strip is yellow & blue?

I went along with my uncle a couple of times to watch Saints Ladies when they were a top team in the female game but could only play on public pitches. Not being unfair to the team at the time, as they were the best in their field and, of course, they were amateurs but the standard was not great. The move to professionalism has increased the skill levels significantly particularly in the art of goalkeeping which was quite abysmal back in the day. If any one is interest in the history of ladies football have a look at Dick, Kerr Ladies who played in front of 30-40,000 crowds back in the 1920's until the FA put the mockers on female football.

You cant beat Guido Carrillo

The Police wouldnt want hordes of Pompey fans walking to the ground from the Central Station when there are 4 cruise ships in port that day as well as the Boat Show at Mayflower Park. Presumably there is sufficient room for 50-60 coaches to park up to accommodate the 2,700 Pompey fans? I wonder if the burger vans who normally park in that area will fancy turning up on the day?

In comparison to last year, our results have been rather disappointing. That said I recollect we were well beaten 2-0 by Oxford Utd in one pre season game last season.

Pleased for England. Spain the better team and their outstanding player missed a pen. That's football for you!!

Pompey won 4-0 at Reading today. Decent result. At this stage of pre season and our performances to date I couldnt see us replicating this scoreline, which is a bit of a concern going forward.

Commitment is great but it needs to be displayed in the right manner not too agressive which leads to a plethora of yellow and red cards.

There was an issue a few years back on derby day, when some Pompey supporters got off a train at St Denys and caused problems walking to the ground from there

Great bit of research!!

Channel 4 Documentary about Donny and Vlad's close association posed a number of questions that have been doing the rounds for some time. No smoke without fire...?

The Donald was on course to be a major player in the US Soccer Ball game until he suffered from Bone Spurs a condition he picked up whilst visiting White Hart Lane.
