That's it. The season is done and Pompey finish a respectable 16th. Many Portsmouth fans would've taken that at the start, and most would have definitely taken that in mid-December. We're safe, Hull City are safe - Luton, Plymouth and Cardiff go down. We have a brief look at the Hull City game, plus review the season as a whole. Let us know your th…

Fratton Park hosts the final game of the season, with Hull City the visitors. Hull need something from this, ideally a win, which could make for an entertaining last game, whereas Portsmouth were safe after the Watford win. Safety was always Portsmouth's goal for our first season back in the championship, and achieving that despite having the lowes…

Nothing was riding on this game at Hillsborough, with Portsmouth guaranteed safety and Wednesday no longer able to reach the play-offs, and the game reflected that. It could have gone one of two ways: either the brakes come off and two teams go toe-to-toe, or both teams take a well-earned breather and not much happens on the pitch. Unfortunately fo…

Safe with 2 games to spare, Portsmouth head back to Yorkshire to face Sheffield Wednesday. Neither team have anything to play for, so this could either be a 'shackles-off' goal-fest, or a snooze-a-thon. Last time we played at Hillsborough it ended 3-3, which would be a nice again. How will JM play it? Give some fringe players a run-out or play the …

Portsmouth secured another season in the EFL Championship with back-to-back wins over the Easter weekend. An end-to-end 8-goal away win at Norwich was followed by a home win against 10-man Watford, and Pompey are safe with 2 games to spare. Who would've though this back in December when we were adrift at the foot of the table and struggling to see …

The penultimate away day for Pompey this season is at Carrow Road, Norwich, this Good Friday. That means just two more games left to end this wretched away form. Norwich will not go down, will not make the play-offs, but they also will not roll over and let us win. Can we take 3 points to all but secure another season in the EFL Championship, or wi…

Late drama in both of Portsmouth's latest games sees the blues collect just one point from 2 games, but they remaining 4 clear of the drop. Heartbreak at Coventry after a spirited performance was followed by chaos at Fratton against Derby, not helped by some completely incompetent match officials. Pompey still have safety in their own hands, but we…

Two more away defeats leaves Portsmouth perilously close to the drop zone. Next up: Derby County at Fratton Park this weekend. Derby are in good form, having lost just once in their last 6 games, and they hammered Pompey at Pride Park earlier in the season. Home form is essential to Pompey's survival. Can they continue this against Derby? Or will T…

Great at Fratton, terrible on the road. That's been the story of Portsmouth's season. If it wasn't for our home from (the best in the league since January, BTW) Pompey would be very much in trouble as we have now lost 10 in the last 11 away games, and only picked up 10 points on the road all season. This was a really nervous performance from Portsm…

Back to winning ways against Blackburn, giving Pompey a 5-point cushion going into Millwall away, but away is the key word here. Back-to-back away games strikes fear into many Portsmouth fans hearts, worried that we may be back in trouble once Derby arrive at Fratton Park later this month. Here's all you need to know about Millwall (well, some of i…

It wasn't a good game to watch, but we got the three points and that's all that matters. Pompey took another huge step towards staying in the Championship with a hard-fought win against at Blackburn Rovers. One moment of quality between Josh Murphy and Colby Bishop was all it took, but it was enough. Blackburn looked like a team in poor form and lo…

The Leeds triumph has been sandwiched by utter tripe against Luton, Plymouth and Preston, which has left Portsmouth very much back in a relegation fight. Blackburn Rovers are next up at Fratton Park. Which Pompey will we see? Who knows. But if we are to rely on our home form then this really needs to be a home win as time is running out. Here's our…

You win some (Leeds United) you lose some (Plymouth and Preston) - the life of a Pompey fan is predictably unpredictable. What can you say about these two defeats? Certainly not much that is positive. They have asked more questions than answers. Is Lang the key element of this team? Were the team shattered after Leeds? If so, why no changes? Why so…

Oh the life of a Pompey Fan. Amazing against Leeds, dour against Plymouth. Incredible, but it's what we've come to expect. This preview was recorded before the Plymouth disaster, so forgive us for our positive demeanor :) Next up is a trip to the north west to play Preston NE. If you were a neutral, this would be a home banker due to our away form …

What could be more 'Pompey' than defeat against the bottom team one week followed by a victory against the top team the next? Leeds United had quality throughout their team, but Portsmouth more than matched them in every department except one; we put the ball in the net and they didn't. We had a little bit of luck, but this was not a lucky win. Fro…

After a dour defeat at Kenilworth Road, Pompey return to Fortress Fratton this weekend... to face table topping Leeds United. We could say about our home form being great. We could say that Leeds are poor when it comes to early kick-offs, we could even say we nearly won (and nearly lost) at Elland Road on the opening day... But let's face it, Leeds…

This was a tough watch and a game to forget for Portsmouth as they slipped to yet another away defeat, the 12th in 18 away games this season. Due to the injury crisis at centre back, which seems to have plagued Pompey all season, Marlon Pack was drafted back in alongside Poole. It was a poor match, played on a poor pitch, with very few chances for …

After three wins in a row and now nine points clear of the relegation zone, this weekend Portsmouth ravel to bottom club Luton Town. Who'd have thought that Luton would struggle so badly this season after dropping out of the Prem last year? Despite changing their manager, they are struggle to find any sort of form. The return match was eventful, de…

Take a bow Josh Murphy. He continued his recent excellent form to fire Portsmouth nine points clear of the relegation zone and up to 17th in the table with one goal and one assist. This was a tough game, and it came with a cost. Atkinson, Matthews, Swanson, and Hayden all limped off, with the first two looking a concern. This run of has seen Portsm…

Last weekend Pompey recorded their first away win since we beat QPR at Loftus Road, could they now make it 3 wins in a row? Since that home defeat to Pompey, QPR have rallied from being stuck at the foot of the table to now being comfortable in midtable, with a possible late run to the play-offs. The news of Callum Lang is a huge blow for Portsmout…

Portsmouth recorded back-to-back wins AND an away win against Cardiff and Oxford. Both were scrappy. Both were hard fought. And both showed the character and spirit we have in this group of players. The wins lift Pompey 7 points clear of the drop. Here's our thoughts on the Cardiff and Oxford games. Feel free to add you comments below? Play Up Pomp…

Recorded prior to Portsmouth's hard fought win against Cardiff, we look ahead to the weekend's clash at the Kassam. The first game at Fratton ended with a point each, can Portsmouth go one better, which would life us further away from the drop zone? Oxford are in decent form and well clear from the threat of relegation. We take a look at the head-t…

Portsmouth suffered their seventh consecutive away defeat, but it could've been a completely different story. So often we have been found wanting on our travels, making wholesale changes and getting rolled over. This was different. This was better. Much better. We should've been 3 or 4 up at half-time, and maybe added more in the second. Chance aft…

Two home games, one point, no goals for - Has our incredible home form has disappeared? Portsmouth hosted Millwall and Burnley in the last 7 days and all did not go to plan. A very stubborn and well drilled Millwall took all 3 points back to London, followed by a spirited performance against high-flying Burnley. We're still above the relegation zon…

Feeling deflated after the Millwall loss? Fear not, Burnley are the next visitors to Fratton Park.

A pattern is emerging - Great at home, terrible away. Stoke City came to Fratton Park before we visited the Hawthorns to play West Brom. 3 points, 4 scored, 6 conceded. The biggest positive is that Portsmouth jumped out of the relegation zone. Plus, young Aussie Tommy W scored on his debut. What's the answer to our poor away from? Can we stay up on…

Recorded prior to Portsmouth's great win against Stoke City, we look ahead to the weekends clash at the Hawthorns. West Brom battered Pompey at Fratton Park earlier in the season, and, with Portsmouth in terrible away form, this will a tough match for the blues.

MASSIVE WIN! Middlesbrough at home was always going to be a tough game, but Portsmouth came from behind to beat Michael Carrick's play-off hopefuls.

Middlesbrough visit Fratton Park this weekend and, after another away defeat at Blackburn, our home form is becoming vital to our survival.

Here's our preview to Portsmouth vs Middlesbrough. What …

It was expected that we would play a much-changed side in the 3rd round of the FA Cup at Wycombe. What was not expected was the complete abject performance we got from those that played. It was a chance to impress, it a chance to stake a claim for more minutes. Instead, it was confirmation that the squad has little depth in quality and reinforcemen…

Sunderland away always looked like being a tough game for a Portsmouth team that had lost 3 away games on the bounce, and so it proved. Whilst the performance was better, and there were some positives to take home from Wearside, there were no points. Soft goal conceded, few chances created, Pack red card and a debut for Atkinson; all discussed in t…

Terrible on the road, free-scoring at home. The life of a Pompey fan is certainly never dull. Portsmouth were robbed at Watford, dire at Bristol, but superb, once again at home to Swansea. Horrendous decisions, questionable team selections and goals from fan's favourites Paddy Lane and Ryley Towler are on the agenda. Mike and Dan discuss the key mo…

From the ridiculous to the sublime! Following a heavy defeat at Derby, Portsmouth were looking for a reaction at home to Coventry, and we certainly got one.

Four points from back-to-back home games and no goals conceded, things are looking up at Fratton Park. Recent form has seen Portsmouth rise out of the relegation zone and there are plenty of positive signs.

We're back at Fratton Park this weekend for the visit of Bristol City, and hopefully we'll get to see a game this time round.

Game off at Blackburn, so attention turns to Wednesday's game where the visitors to Fratton Park are Millwall.

Surprise! John Mousinho had a couple of tricks up his sleeve for the visit of Preston, both of which worked a treat. Firstly, Marlon Pack came back in, but at centre back in place of McIntyre. Then, the news that surprised us all, but was great to see, Colby Bishop was on the bench for the first time since heart surgery in August. Great performance…

Two away games in a week at the opposite ends of the country is a big ask for both the team and the fans of Portsmouth.
