Yes the adverts (the bloke who does many of them has the most annoying voice) and Steve Grant's "umms" are 2 of the downsides to an otherwise excellent podcast .

A good listen before the derby. The guest from Pompey sounded like a decent guy.

Don’t let any rays of sunshine pierce through Alex's world of gloom. He prefers it that way.

Jason Wilcox under pressure atm.

Excellent post. Have you ever read a match thread??

One of the things that I do like atm is the way that we have got rid of so many of last year's regulars. In addition to the 4 that you mention we won't be seeing Bednarek, TP, Sulemana, Big Les in the team. Add (Probably) BBD, Smallbone and Aribo to that list and the potential for "scar tissue" to blight this season is greatly reduced.

And with the profit from Dibling, Fernandes , Smallbone etc and the dropping of the 2022 transfer window we will be able to piss on PSR.

I went to Liverpool University just after he finished his degree. He was often still seen at the university. The story was his departmental football team got to the final of the university departmental cup. Fellow students wanted him to play for the department in the final but TD told him that he would be finished in football if he dared to play. In the end he compromised and played in goal. They won.

He's an intelligent lad. Loads of A* at GCSE and A levels. He attended a top public school where its pupils are known for their academic ability. Do intelligent footballers make the best footballers?

I never realised that you meant "ginger Juric" as a compliment. I think most people consider it derogatory. What on earth has Nathan Jones got to do with Still??

What a load of bollocks. All managers ultimately fail. Calling it this early when his record reads 3 wins from 5 (treble the number of wins that Juric achieved in half a season) is rather premature. Do you have any Pompey affinity by chance ??

Has Batman ever liked one of our managers? 5 games in and Still hasn't won every game by 3 clear goals so Still is the "ginger Juric". Its quite pathetic.

Can see Taylor staying. He provides cover at left back if Welington's ankle proves to be a problem and may well be preferable to Manning if Manning forgets to close down crosses.

It is disappointing how those youngsters who formed such a good team had their heads turned so quickly. I remember the squad being paraded round the ground just before they appeared in a youth final. Was it due to agents, greedy parents, lack of a perceived pathway or just heads being turned by the prospect of £££? There was a video on here of JJM standing with Everton away supporters flicking V's at home fans. Without wanting to sound too much like an old fogey, it is a shame how few of the players felt any loyalty to the club that nurtured them.
