Thread | Tyler Dibling
at 00:13 1 Aug 2024
Reminds me a lot of Grealish when he was at Villa. Very skilful.
The problem is where do you play him.
He looks happier playing in a central position, but is possibly a bit too peripheral to the action, leaving us exposed in midfield.
Bit of a headache for the manager.
Dibling may quite possibly be our most talented player.
It’s how we get the best out of that talent that is the conundrum. |

We have plenty of them, but none of them are going to cut it in the Prem.
Went to Oxford tonight.
Sulemana and Edozie are both massively frustrating. They just don’t have good enough ball control and general football knowhow.
Sam Amo has great potential but is still raw, and one for the future.
I fear that a wide attacker or two is up there with a keeper and a striker in the “needs strengthening” category.
And I’m not convinced Fraser is the answer in the Prem. |

Thread | Is Matt O'Riley really that good?
at 17:27 30 Jul 2024
He has only played twice for Denmark.
He didn't make their Euro 2024 squad.
But 3 Brentford midfielders did.......
If we are shelling out as much as is being mooted, it is quite the show of faith in our manager. |

Sorry peeps, have been away at Camp Bestival at Lulworth with bugger all phone signal.
Have therefore been slacking on the songs threads.
A starter for ten for our new star striker (to the tune of similar ditties for Delgado and Broja among others....)
Ben Brereton
Ohhhhh
Ben Brereton
Ohhhh
He’s not quite from Chile
He was born in Stoke really

1. Carillo
2. Ramirez
3. Vestergaard
***
Sulemana would have been right up there if it weren't for the fees paid for Livramento and Ings just eclipsing his fee
*** caveat here is that the fees are based on Transfermarkt info.... |

Thread | SONG DU JOUR - Charlie Taylor
at 07:13 24 Jul 2024
With the season approaching, is it not time to revisit Nick’s idea of a song for a player each day?
Just thought this one up whilst humming along to ABBA; obviously any song has to include a Pompey reference…..
Gimme, gimme, gimme
A left-back from Burnley
Charlie Taylor’s ours now
And he hates the Pompey
A sure-fire smash you’ll all agree….

A few rumours today about us signing him from Villarreal.
Don’t know a lot about him, other than him having played as a striker for Blackburn and Sheffield United. |

Thread | Three goals and two assists in the Championship last season
at 10:32 20 Jul 2024
Those are the stats of Sekou Mara.
From 29 games in a largely winning team, most of which he came off the bench for.
The previous season, he scored one goal in 22 Prem appearances, admittedly in a poor team.
At the risk of being accused of starting a witch-hunt, does anybody seriously think those are stats of a player who we can call on to do the business for us in the Prem?
His appearance last night should be a cause for alarm.
He has had more than enough chances to show what he can do.
Time to move him on. |

Thread | Top 5 grounds I am excited about going to next season
at 13:45 5 Jun 2024
1. Boscombe - If he's playing for us, Fraser would get a battering from their lot. I would love him to score an injury-time winner and then really milk it in front of their fans.
2. Brentford - not done their new ground
3. Palace - always enjoyed going there; I love the earthy feel of the place.
4. Ipswich - best atmosphere of last season outside the play-off games, I thought. We owe them a stuffing or two.
5. Chelsea - I like the safe standing there; decent atmosphere in the away end. Drank in Fulham when we last played there, which I would recommend.
Forest also gets a notable mention; not been there in many a year.
Fulham is OK as well. Although I don't get as excited about going there as many others seem to. |

at 13:34 5 Jun 2024
1. Wolves - I really hate that away end; deliberately positioned to ensure no atmosphere.
2. Newcastle - great night out; and there it ends.
3. West Ham - decent craft beer place nearby; and there it ends.
4. Everton - it's just a bloody awful view; and we usually lose, unless we have a genius like Nathan Jones in charge.
5. Man. City - well, it would be a tough game...... |
