Indeed. But he's not starting League One and Two until next season. Not a great fan of his refereeing skills. His brother has made it to the Premier League list but this morning he and Coote apparently failed the European (?) fitness test for referees. BTW the two brothers are so unlike in appearan...

Yep, he's doing non-league until the end of this season. League One and League Two aren't non-league Indeed. But he's not starting League One and Two until next season.

Unfortunately we are playing as if Joao is in the side. The two centre-backs, who seem to have more possession than anybody, aimlessly hoof the ball forward (after giving the fans heart attacks as they interpass) to 2 front men who are not very good in the air-Puscas can't or won't jump and Meite do...

Anyone else feel like joao is being looked back on with tinted glasses? He was decent for a few games but many were saying he was shit not long before and his hot streak lasted about 3 games. Is concerning that many seem to think he is the linchpin for this squad. Yes, and this is my worry because ...

A very strong performance from Leeds apart from the crucial 2 ends of the pitch. The keeper made another horrendous blunder and the finishing was the usual poor. To go away to probably the best home side themselves in top form and dominate the game was outstanding but football and points are all abo...

Regardless of Formationgate as discussed at tedious length between Seth and Ian ,IMHO the most significant change was Aluko coming on to play in midfield with Baldock the striker being subbed. When we play with one-up I feel that player is often too isolated when bodies from midfield should be gett...

Reading have just taken on 17year old AFC Portchester player Patrik Hnath on a 2 week trial. https://www.portsmouth.co.uk/sport/football/afc-portchester-star-bidding-earn-reading-deal-following-trials-bournemouth-and-portsmouth-1393361 confusingly Portchester are also called the Royals !!!!! Thanks...

What surprises me is how little they have done to invest in the squad this season-in fact they sold the very promising winger Clarke to Spurs. Pablo Hernandez is key to their success and he has only recently returned from injury. Unlike others on here who seem to hate or envy them (there is a hell o...

There are not enough flat mouthed emogies on the Internet to express the meh-ness of yesterday's match. Two poor teams playing out a poor game in a half empty stadium in February. Has to be the most uninspiring match day experience ever. We have become less than the sum of our parts and Bowen is go...

If you want a laugh. Taken from a Hull forum. Yes this from Hell! Sorry Hull :D Reading is a **** tip, a **** oil & a general place of irrelevance. Berks from Berkshire, in the real world they’re simply ****s. City 3 Reading **** all. With prose like that it's no wonder Hull became a City of Cu...

Sorry how many assists has he had and this season? And how many goals have we conceded whilst he's been playing? Sit down. The other two are academy products so don't expect SCIAG to praise Blackett. I praise players who aren't from our academy all the time. John Swift, Matt Miazga, Lewis Baker, Ry...

I am with those that would stick with Ejaria. IMHO both he and Swift are such important players for us that when they have a few games when not at their very best I would stick with them and let them play themselves back into form rather than dropping either of them. It's not as if we have an abunda...

Mid Sussex Royal Joey Van Den Berg now playing in Dutch 5th tier (part time)...about his level

Is that for a pub team?

Winston Biscuit Pompey's great run continues. Now 3 points off 2nd place and 6 points off 1st place with 2 games in hand on those occupying 1st and 2nd (Cov in similar position)

Ideal (mainly geographical) scenario for me:-
Bournemouth relegated and/or Brighton relegated
Oxford promoted
Pompey promoted

After his good performance the other night I am a bit disappointed with this one.
I'm guessing but being the son of Howe senior may well prove more difficult for him with his peers than we know.
Good luck to the lad and I hope we got a decent fee/ sell-on clause for him.

I agree with Seth in that I feel that we carry on playing as if there were a hold-up striker when there isn't one. It looks as though Joao is the only one of our many strikers who can play the target strong man and if he doesn't play it's up to the 5 others to get up and support the lone striker as ...

So with Tyler back to his old self would we really be that disappointed if he went off to Turkey this week (not just for a holiday)?
