https://www.portsmouthfc.co.uk/news/2025/november/13/ticket-news--southampton--h-/ Portsmouth have confirmed ticket prices - £35 in the away end (they've raised them for us so they have to raise them for the rest of the ground as well) And we have the whole of the Milton, 2,700 tickets. So there should be 1000 left once you take out the friends and family allocation for the players...

That's why I hadn't seen it. I'd blocked him ages ago, as have many others.

Us and West ham were the best teams in the league that season but they just had an unbelievable run of form at the end, came from absolutely nowhere. But it was pretty obvious that they were going straight back down, hence why us and West Ham stayed up relatively comfortably the following year.

TV games for January and February have been announced Our away game at Stoke and home game at Watford are 12.30pm kick offs on Saturday Portsmouth away is 12pm on a Sunday but we knew that already, and Southampton v QPR is 8pm Tuesday but that was midweek anyway. The rest are the same as they were previously announced https://www.efl.com/news/2025/november/07/see-the-latest-efl-tv-selections/

Not got a problem with us leaking to the press that Eckert has a chance. I very much doubt though that we are intending to do so. It would be a huge gamble. Maybe in a year or two as an eventual successor.

That's a great call. Get Strachan back in,

The next set of TV fixtures should be announced either Thursday or Friday, which will cover games in January and February.

Alan Nixon is not a reputable source.

Our new German manager when he meets some of our underperforming players...

Ralph coming in with Eckert as his understudy to take over in a couple of years...? I'm not against Eckert tbh, nobody had heard of Thomas Frank before.

The dressing room culture needs to fundamentally change; Romeu will help address that.

Not fussed about an apology, better performances would be my preference.

Anyone who was here last season. With the exception of Adam Armstrong, Ross Stewart (he was injured anyway last season so doesn't count) and at times Wood, the rest have been utterly awful. Not just in performances, but attitude and application. We need to build a team around the likes of Scienza, Jander and Charles, and start shipping out a number of individuals who for whatever reason are damaged goods. Yes last season was tough but you can't be that fragile mentally, you have no chance of succeeding at the top level. Time to get ruthless.

If some players do want him back, that is reason enough for us not to appoint him. There are plenty of players who need to ship out over the next couple of transfer windows and they know the gig is up with a hard taskmaster.

Spors has at least got some gems in Scienza and Jander so maybe his boy Eckert is the one. Eckert is also even younger than Will Still. I think he'll be our youngest ever manager (interim included) unless I'm wrong about that.
