I think we get this every year. I am sure at one point they were leaked, and turned out it was a test run or something.Out of all the sources who claim to know who our first game is,one will probably be right.

It's as if they knew it was going to happenIs it ****e. They’ve signed players on 8 year contracts so they didn’t have to worry about that for now. Raising easily £200m+ in player sales plus shifting loads off the wage bill will allow them to spend as freely as they want.
I suppose we all knew that money would eventually destroy the game. It seems that moment is now.It's as if they knew it was going to happen
Saudi Links? have I missed something?

Pompey are ready to write off almost £200,000 to drive Denver Hume’s departure this summer.
Neil Allen
The Blues are prepared to sanction a cut-price exit for the left-back, who is surplus to requirements at Fratton Park, and The News understands that interest is primarily being driven by League Two clubs at present.
With Hume entering the final 12 months of his contract, Pompey must be realistic about his rapidly diminishing transfer value.
The Blues accept tje fact that they will receive nowhere near the £200,000 paid to Sunderland for his services in January 2022, and as a consequence are prepared to accept a rock bottom fee.
The 26-year-old’s representatives are presently exploring a summer exit, with both parties in agreement that a parting of the ways is necessary.
Pompey can't see a future for him in John Mousinho’s side, whilst Hume is also eager for a switch to secure regular first-team football following a nightmare 18 months.
Encouragingly, it is understood that there have been enquiries this summer, but that has largely come from League Two clubs.
Whether that would appeal to Hume remains to be seen, with his career having been focused around the Championship and League One to date.
There is also the critical issue of League Two clubs being unable to come close to his Fratton Park wages, which is likely to represent a significant drop in earnings.
Yet with the Blues ready to write off the bulk of a transfer fee paid 18 months ago, there must also be willing from the player to take a financial hit to end the nightmare.
Hume’s contract finishes in the summer of 2024, and while Pompey also possess a club option, it is clear that they will never take it up.
Instead they will seek to offload him this summer, preferably as a permanent departure rather than a season-long loan.
Of course, the best option would be for a mutually-agreed departure, with the Blues saving on his wages over the next year but not receiving a penny in transfer fees.
Regardless, Hume is expected to be present for Pompey’s return to pre-season training next Monday (26th).

I thought he was soft as ****e. Still adamant he didn’t fancy it at all against Lincoln (A) in the play-offs after being skinned a few times and got dragged off early doors, after 11 minutes iirc.So did I, I thought he'd end up in the championship. Didn't want it enough maybe.

Scored a couple of goals iirc, but my only other memories of him all just blur into "Hume does well to get into a bit of space on the left... but the whipped cross has gone into the stands/out for a throw".a great whipped cross at times

I can remember his goal at home to Wycombe in the 4-0 win. Great finish.Scored a couple of goals iirc, but my only other memories of him all just blur into "Hume does well to get into a bit of space on the left... but the whipped cross has gone into the stands/out for a throw".

I remember thinking he was about the only decent player we had... which at the time was probably fair, about the same time we were playing Neil in friendlies and he was clearly already out best player.... so never got on the pitch in a real game, Parkinson perhaps idk.I do think he had potential when he was with us and maybe as a 20 year old in this setup he'd have done well but could well be that his heart isn't in it.
Good going forward. Terrible positioning. Terrible in the air. Defensive liability that was found out first v Rochdale away I think iirc. Never fit enough to get enough of experience to learn.So did I, I thought he'd end up in the championship. Didn't want it enough maybe.

Strange move when he went to Portsmouth as he's such a mammys boy. His agent had him convinced boro were after him that's why he delayed so much on the new contract. Saw him couple of weeks back, looks very skinny, legs like twigsI thought he was soft as ****e. Still adamant he didn’t fancy it at all against Lincoln (A) in the play-offs after being skinned a few times and got dragged off early doors, after 11 minutes iirc.
I genuinely think he was only seen as an attacking threat as he was the only player that didn’t run like he was towing a caravan at the time, dark times following the lads them
