Transfer Window Finally Shuts for Portsmouth
The summer’s finally over (nothing to miss about it, is there?!), and things at Portsmouth are now at least clear (managerial issues aside) until January. It ended up being a frantic transfer window, with all the activity by necessity crammed into the last week. The general consensus is that given events off the pitch, the squad is now as strong [...]
Jamie O’Hara, Kevin Prince Boateng, and…Aruna Dindane
Just thought I’d contrast those three names with yesterday’s trio! I’m not saying they are world beaters or even top half Premier League regulars, but I’d say they give us a fighting chance, and that’s all Portsmouth fans have wanted for the past few weeks. Michael Brown and Tommy Smith now look better signings than [...]
Tommy Smith, Mike Williamson, and…Michael Brown
These are the transfer targets Portsmouth fans now seemingly have to endure. I say endure because whilst I obviously have nothing against these players personally (except Michael Brown, but more of this later), they are clearly not Premier League quality players. This is all the more unbelievable given that our long awaited takeover went through just yesterday. I [...]
Aruna Dindane Signs for Portsmouth
And we are 3-0 up against Hereford United at half time! But with things the way they are at the moment, ANYTHING positive is worth clinging on to. At least it shows that Pompey have gone about their job tonight the way they should. However, it is the teeniest tiniest positive. We are playing Hereford United. It’s not the [...]
McCann and Shittu for Portsmouth?
I’m sorry, I don’t care if this has been used a million times before, but the name just about sums it up doesn’t it? Portsmouth’s latest targets are uninspiring to say the least. Ironically, Shittu is the one that makes more sense to me, but that doesn’t mean I rate him at all!
OK, so we [...]
Portsmouth v Fulham – Premier League 2008/09
Despite some dramatic twists regarding the takeover at the Portsmouth Radio Solent fans’ forum on Thursday night, I want to concentrate on the football at last, as the Premier League season gets underway at Fratton Park today.
Fulham obviously had a good season last time out and will probably set up much the same way this [...]
Portsmouth Squad Gradually Strengthening
Now, let’s be honest. It’s all relative. I mean we’re strengthening from where we were two weeks rather than a year ago! But at last Portsmouth Football Club seems to be moving in the right direction, albeit slowly.
Without going over old ground, the squad we boasted a year to two years ago wasn’t sustainable, as we now know. But, providing [...]
What on Earth is Going on Pompey?
Trying to predict transfers in or out of Portsmouth at the moment is like trying to predict the weather. However, one thing I do know is that we will probably never know the real answer to that question.
Paul Hart has been quoted in The News today as saying that as well as potential new arrivals, more [...]
Portsmouth Defender Distin to Sign New Contract – Says Redknapp
I have decided to put my optimistic head on again today. I hope the news about Distin is true….what’s that?…..sorry?…..oh I see. It’s not ‘news’, its just Harry Redknapp talking about other clubs’ players during a press conference. Oh well, I’m sure he was just in a reminiscent mood and wishing his old club the best [...]
Crouch Set to Leave Portsmouth
After a few enforced days off, I am back, but what the hell is going on?! Just as the protracted takeover of Portsmouth FC by Dr Sulaiman Al Fahim seems to be nearing completion, many of the players are either clamouring for the exit door or being pushed towards it.
It looks inevitable that Peter Crouch will [...]
