Of course the really interesting domestic match in the offing is now Doncaster Rovers v Leeds United! Mind you the Sky commentator overdid things slightly this evening when comparing Rovers' play against Carlisle favourably to Barcelona..ahahaha>:D<


(And yes, he did mean the football club not the LL tapas bar :)))

Aye - Charity shield here we come - here's a fact. When we have played that game we will have played at Wembley more times than any other team apparently!!


I think we'll see a different Pompey run out at Wembley in August though! Lot's of players coming in over the summer I expect. For now though, I am going to enjoy this feeling. Was the third best day of me life yesterday - coming a close third to getting married and my son being born! Been supporting Pompey since before I can remember. Born and bread! I am fooking elated today!!!!! (and drunk again!)

Well done Ratty nice to congratulate a true fan of a proper club rather than one of the plastic big 4 supporters - true story, a few years ago when Arsenal were playing in one of the gazziliion Cup finals they've been in in the last 15 years I was out in Brighton at about 3.30 pm on Cup final day and there, with no shame, was a bloke wandering along the front leisurely hand in hand with his girlfriend with an Arsenal shirt on,,,,,,yup, i'd miss the cup final but wear my shirt to show what a great supporter I am. Plastic twats.

I pretty much agree quids! Best thing about this final was 2 sets of passionate fans. Cardiff lot were by & large a treat to meet even if they did not bring our clock back! (Stolen by them from Fratton in the 80s!)


Great day - wish I could have driven down to Pompey for the parade today but I have been over the limit for the last 48 hours!

Just seen this on the BBC sports website


Lassana Diarra has a gentleman's agreement with Portsmouth that he can quit Fratton Park if one of European football's big clubs come knocking. (Daily Mail, 1112 BST)


Kinda tells you why Chelsea & The Arsenal were keen to off load him. Obviously the man has an over-inflated view of his own worth.

Diarra came to Pompey so he could transfer to Spurs as Arsenal would not sell him their directly - this was agreed as part of the Defoe deal. However, Spurs have to renogotiate a price. Lassina will be worth a small fortune after Euro 2008 compared to the price that PFC bought him. Shame cos I would love him to stay but I do not think Uefa will be enough to keep him playing at Fratton Park.


Watch out for Niko at Euro 2008 too. Arsenal are gonna waste ?12m on him so I have been told.


Ratty - rolling with the 6.57 for one last time!

Lubos Michel, who ruled Luis Garcia's effort had crossed the line when Liverpool knocked Chelsea out of the Champions League before winning it in 2005, will referee the game in Moscow. He has since said of the Jose Mourinho-dubbed 'ghost goal': "If my assistant referee had not signalled a goal, I would have given a penalty and sent off keeper Petr Cech." (The Daily Telegraph)


Have that Jose! >:D<


Wonder how much Ferguson bunged UEFA, so he would ref this game. ;-)

That is a point everyone has always been very quick to forget about that goal incident, we could have ended up a man and a goal up!


Anyway, biggest concern has to be the pitch, heard the "super groundsman" on the radio this morning and he said it will be playable, but he is disgusted about the state of it! Think it'll suit Chelsea more.

I said exactly the same thing. I'll bet his 6 month sentence actually means 3 and he'll be back playing again in August.

If you were a non plastic fan you'd be on your way to Moscow right now. ;-)

I just hope it will be a high scoring game (which it probably won't) and an entertaining game (I've said this before haven't I). I certainly wouldn't want a repeat of last year's FA Cup final which was so boring I nearly died of boredom before Drogba scored with close range toe poke in the dying minutes. Again, I don't really care who wins but I am going to be watching the game in the pub with a couple of friends one of which is a long time Chelsea fan, i.e he supported them when they were pants.

Fair enough Sandperson - extenuating circumstances and all that....


This is another reason why I never want to have kids.


I reckon it will be the dullest game in history, which is why I intend to go to the pub and get rat arsed. Work are taking us out and I intend to take full advantage of the free booze. :)-D (Drown my sorrows)


In an ideal world, I would have just taken off from Warsaw on the last part of my journey to Moscow. Boo hoo :(

      Chango - New local gem alert!

      But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?

      ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."

      You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
