"Academy boss Mark Kelly and coach Mikey Harris have handed the players responsibility for organising their side for games. It may mean extra homework for the youngsters, but Harris explained it’s been a useful tool in their development. He said: ‘The lads are producing their own game plans and giving the team-talks. Part of our philosophy is for the lads to try to take responsibility for themselves.'" http://www.portsmouth.co.uk/sport/pompey/pompey-prospects-doing-extra-homework-1-6588130 So those who aren't on dog**** cleaning duties, are busy cleaning the toilets or cutting the halftime oranges get to write the teamsheet. I am so jealous and impressed

"EXCITING young prospects have been told Pompey is still the best place to learn their trade. And Academy boss, Mark Kelly, believes the ‘opportunity’ of making the grade at Fratton Park can help the Blues fend off the threat of Premier League big guns." This is so delusional. I like the way "opportunity" is in quotation marks - hahahahahahaha

Fan-funder match report "On a day that traditionally celebrates relationships, there could be no sight more fitting than a late Jed Wallace strike as Portsmouth dismissed visitors Exeter City by a goal to nil." Indeed, what could be more fitting. Chocolates? Roses? A romantic dinner? Nah... an hour and a half at the cesspit watching abysmal football in the freezing gloom with a pie at half time.

Well, that was a deserved triumph... http://www.portsmouth.co.uk/sport/pompey/awford-we-deserved-fratton-triumph-1-6581098 Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Because they're a bunch of amateurs. That's the point, they're incompetent and proud. What single useful thing have the Trust actually done apart from designing that nice fence?

“I love playing at Portsmouth, although last season, I didn’t get off the bench, so I was really gutted. But the atmosphere was incredible that day. “It’s a privilege to even be there, let alone play in the game. All the lads always look forward to it, so it should be good.” Read more: http://www.westernmorningnews.co.uk/Portsmouth-trip-whets-appetite-Exeter-City-s/story-26017788-detail/story.html?#ixzz3Rc6Bb3Th

"It is noticeable at Trust meetings the average age is probably 40-plus..." http://www.portsmouth.co.uk/sport/pompey/pompey-trust-seek-youthful-approach-to-fan-representation-1-6574804 It's like church congregations - soon they'll be nothing more than a huddle of tired pensioners with some confused memories.

Classic lol

There's nothing wrong with correcting people when they're wrong. MLG took the correction in good spirit, so should others.

More sick-making Allenesque drivel: "Divisions continue to grow between the factions. It’s close to becoming a Pompey-style civil war – and we’ve got history for a rumble down these parts." http://www.portsmouth.co.uk/sport/pompey/comment-awford-decision-won-t-satisfy-all-1-6545878

Lol

Doesn't look like a like for like Cork replacement to me

This whole Waddock replacement thing comes as such a shock: Gary Waddock not Andy Awford's replacement at Portsmouth

Errr... you do realize they work for a local newspaper? http://www.buzzfeed.com/lukelewis/45-earth-shattering-local-news-headlines#.pmmkoLoW7

The Deloitte rich list has us as the 25th richest football club in the universe. How I do wish we weren't, and that our players were paid in pizza for fixing up the changing rooms. When my son was watching us beat Man U the other day, the first thing he said was, "why can't we be more like Pompey daddy, and lose to Newport?"

Or a really, really big sponge

"The training pitches are pretty good to be fair, when they are playable they are in a good condition."

http://www.portsmouth.co.uk/sport/pompey/hinshelwood-to-depart-pompey-1-6529974 "Martin is leaving to take up a scouting/recruitment role with a Premier League club." Please God, not Saints.

Or the fact that they still haven't got their safety certificate despite rennovating the affected areas of the ground.

OK - who can read between the lines... Agent Connolly on leaving Pompey: "It was not meant to be and I have now joined someone who wants to work with me. But there are a lot of really good people at Pompey, such as the chairman, the chief executive, the players and the board, while Gary Waddock is a terrific coach I previously worked with at Oxford."

Are we sure that's not Allen on the bus?
