News from around the web.

About as treacherous as you would expect from the world's most morally bankrupt club. They know that Pompey could fill the entire ground out so ££ signs are spinning in their eyes. £30 for league two football is obscene, man on the street with his 3 kids may as well forget a day out at the football....

Portsmouth v Torquay

I agree Dave, undoubtedly some of the fringe players will be sent out on loan or contracts settled up, but if Greavsie can maintain a squad of 18-20 players all scrapping (not literally) to get into the X1 then we should be in a strong position and allow for rotation on a horses for courses basis. W...

Portsmouth v Torquay

A fantastic day yesterday and a really gutsy result. It was nice to see bodies being thrown in the way of the ball and everyone gave their all. A superb effort when you consider the rigmarole of the hotel farce. That sort of thing breeds team spirit and at the final whistle you could see it there in...

Can Hargreaves and hodges keep us up this season

Yes they can, unquestionably. The division is a poor one, so many average teams that we can look to take points off of- although clearly that needs to be done sooner rather than later. I don't think this is the worst predicament we have ever found ourselves in either. Certainly no worse than last ye...

Oxford United v Torquay United 25/01/2014 Match Thread

Disappointing yesterday. The biggest positive being that at 1-0 down after 10 minute, we didn't capitulate into a shellacking, although we have two outstanding bits of defending - one from Poke, O'Connor the other, to thank for that. We battled and fought our way back into the match, and actually co...

Ex-Gull watch

The worst thing about Ward was that Roberts (the conniving c__t) sold him for an extremely paltry amount with about an hour left of the transfer window- making it impossible to replace him. I think I knew for certain at that point that Roberts was taking us down. Sad times. Macklin was a strange one...

Congrats to Eunan

My abiding memory of Murray, sadly, is of him heading against the bar against Wycombe from about 3 yards out. The match finished 0-0 and started the stall of a possible automatic promotion. I think he went back soon after but we kept hold of Tomlin who was excellent in the play-offs. Good to see he ...

Bury 8th Feb- Boots and Laces and Food

Hi Tim, Boots & Laces welcomes anyone and it is a minute away from the Thatchers Pop-Side terrace. It will show the early ko off on a big screen and does traditional match-day grub such as pies, chips and hotdogs etc. Alternatively, if you wanted something a bit different, you might be able to b...

Thierry Audel

Let's not forget, regardless of how much we like certain players individually, that our defensive record this season is comfortably amongst the worst in the league. Hargreaves is addressing this in ways he deems fit and if it makes us tighter at the back, I am all for it. I would not expect us to ho...

Agree, an outstanding goalkeeper. Lets hope someone else agrees with us - we have a nice juicy sell on clause should he be sold. (Thank you Martin Ling)

Congrats to Eunan

Have kept a keen eye on Eunan since his departure, he was such a prodigious talent. I always pay close attention to Bournemouth's highlights on the FLS. Yesterday, Bournemouth were awarded 2 penalties and Eunan had a contributing hand in winning both with his fleet-footed marauding past midfielders ...

Northampton Game - ON/OFF

Match OFF Inevitable really, the amount of rain that has fallen has been ridiculous, near on unprecedented really. Perhaps the decision could have been made earlier but they had to give themselves every opportunity to get the game on. Its the sensible decision though and whilst we might not have a g...

Danny Stevens to return?

I do love it when Brucie pops in for a chat. Nial Thompson failed to command a first team place towards the end of his stint at Worcester City, not sure this makes him any more deserving of a place on the bench than Danny Stevens. Courtney Cameron gave a better performance against Exeter but was sti...

Danny Stevens to return?

I agree its a risk, but given our finances and the fact that it's likely to be a weekly contract or less, I think its a gamble worth taking. He should be chomping at the bit to impress and give himself a second chance. Given his 250 appearances for the club (more than half in the league) I think he'...
