Good morning everyone Butterflies in stomach, confident but with also the trepidation of playing a south coast team, as we all know how it ended with Portsmouth neighbours Southampton in the three games we played them last season. despite the above Leeds 2 Portsmouth 0 C'MON LEEEEEDS
A great morning spent watching the grandson playing football. Now off home to watch the play acting and rolling around of the professional game
Probably. I have never had the 'pleasure' of being near him but I know he is not particularly liked by quite a few Portsmouth fans. At least on match day, apparently he's not so bad the rest of the time. Went to his bookshop once in Petersfield which was interesting
I know a few lads that met him in a pub once, said he was a decent fella but absolutely stunk the place out.

Afternoon all. Here we go, first game of a new season. Time to put the disappointment of last year behind us and write a new chapter that ends with getting promoted as champions and not enduring the lottery of the playoffs. Hoping for a good performance today that lays down a marker to show that we mean business. Wouldn't it be nice to get out of the blocks quickly for once rather than playing catch up like we did for much of last season. Let's keep the momentum of the pre-season friendlies going and win this one convincingly with a few goals and a clean sheet.
