I watched the latest episode just now (came out yesterday in the US thank God) and it is the best episode ever. I'm so fucking amped. I loved it. What a fucking episode.

What the fuck is the stadium security like ffs?!

Our home:


and away kits:


No sponsor's been announced yet although we're in "advanced stages" of getting one. I'm not a massive fan of either tbf, would've looked better if the shorts were swapped.

And for us, we only have 4 contracted players for next season as it stands, it was 3 before Ryan Donaldson signed for us today.

Albania should be winning this game with 10 men, let alone drawing!

Opening ceremonies kinda suck.

According to that Gillam Ballbag fella (I know that's not his name but you know who I mean) De Gea hasn't been sent home at all.

From what I understand there will be no more emergency loans (except for 'keepers, maybe) so it's whoever you can get in on loan from window to window. I think the point of it is to emphasise on youth but fuck knows with the Football League, they're wankers.

Yeah he is, and that's what you get with Pete, he's a decent league two centre back who'll put his body on the line and block anything. A little bit slow so he works best as part of a 3 in central defence rather than a 2 but as long as he's got someone with a bit of pace he's alright. Brave as anything, good in the air, hits a fucking hard penalty too.

I'd liked for us to have kept him really but he's recently got married and wants to move back up north for the sake of his new family, you'll have a good centre back on your hands if you sign him.

We've been away on our first game for years IIRC. June 17th is when the official fixtures come out I think.

Someone I follow on Twitter retweeted it; I doubt it's real, namely because they'd be sending us all the way to Doncaster on a Tuesday night...

Supposed leaked League Two fixtures for next season for ourselves.

Yeah we had the Torch, I tried to reason with them and tell them I had only wanted to the one drink, not two. It's a bit steep for us who don't live in London too!

When are the fixtures released? I know the first game is 6th August, wouldn't be a bad game in the late summer sun! I've heard lots of blokes saying they're looking forward to Grimsby away purely for the decent fish and chips.

Can't believe how some, if not most teams are putting out actual, decent computer generated images or even actual photos of their kits and we get fucking cartoons.

Best team won on the day, can have no complaints about the result and the Wimbledon fans were fantastic. On a side note I wasn't overly impressed with Wembley as a football stadium. Or the fucking prices in the pubs around it and we couldn't go to any other pubs because both sets of fans had "designated pubs". I paid £10 - ten fucking pounds - for a double vodka and red bull.

Anyway, back to football, Wimbledon knew how to beat us and did it fantastically. On the subject of Akinfenwa, the first thing he did after coming on was to completely flatten our centre half in a pointlessly aggressive 50/50 header which resulted in him having to be stretchered off with an oxygen supply and at no point afterwards, not even as soon as the ref blew up for the foul and it was painfully obvious he was in agony, did Akinfenwa check if he was alright or apologise or even check on the situation. I may be reading too much into, it may be sour grapes, but I think that's pretty bad of him.

I'm concerned now we'll lose any chance we had of keeping our best players, except our ultimate best player who's already said he's staying next year to help us win the league. There are rumours that Oxford are coming in for our team of the season captain as well as Wigan who have supposedly been keeping an eye on him all season. Our top goal scorer for the past two seasons (not including this one) is being heavily linked with a reunion with John Sheridan at Notts County/a move to Portsmouth who put in "big money" bids for him last summer anyway and now his contract is up, although tbf everyone's is. And I'm not even joking - three players are contracted through until the end of the next season and that's only because they had clauses in their contracts whereby if they played a certain number of games they would earn an extension.

Looking forward to another season of entitled Portsmouth fans on Twitter.

Not bad tbf, although the stripes sort of look like a vertical Cornish flag, so I'm biased

Not a brilliant game, Wednesday never really turned up and the best team won, although that wasn't saying much.

Only works if it's an 11 who all look like her!

Probably a fuck off big crate of lager or something, knowing Shez.

He really is. When he was here there were rumours everywhere that he wanted to leave and be closer to his family, which is fair enough, so when he did leave it was a surprise to see him pitch up at Newport midway through the season - 'though it is closer to Yorkshire I suppose. Then when his old club Oldham came calling, right on his doorstep, and he kept them up, it seemed only natural that he would stay with them and try and push them on and yet now here he is at Notts County!

Rumours were that there was no money at Oldham, so perhaps that's why he's not bothered with staying although IIRC Notts County's owner is trying to sell up anyway so there wouldn't be much money about there I would have imagined!

They do take those things into account, last year we had Yeovil at home, a few years back we had Torquay at home.

Ah fair enough, I must've made up the chairman bit. Nah I don't think any fan of any lower league team wants it to happen.

Exactly this! Although I think I saw your chairman come out and say he thinks B teams are a good idea, no idea why he thinks that, maybe trying to get favours...

But then that's how Sky, and the Football League, get more money.

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES UP THE FUCKING GREENS

I did also hear from blokes at home watching on Sky that their coverage was incredibly biased towards Pompey; I know they had Linvoy Primus as a pundit and no real representation for Argyle, and all they really went on about was the FA Cup win, being in the Premier League and Pompey's hardships with administration, ignoring the fact we're still recovering from our own time in administration.

Haha I thought so too! Although Paul Cook is a scouser... but I'd fancy Wotton all day! I wonder if they'll both have to sit in the stands or not for the next game..? It's all well and good going up through the play offs but I really wouldn't fancy losing in the final!



Maybe, I've not seen any highlights yet but from what I remember there may have been a few coming across. Apparently our left-back should've or could've gone too for a bad tackle but I don't remember it, I was too caught up in the atmosphere and the occasion I think! The game sort of flew by, especially the first half.

Unbelievable scenes after our second went in, could've/should've scored more in the first half but second half they were all over us so I will take a draw all day long. Lucky to finish with 11 men, mind. Our striker put his head to the back of a Portsmouth defender (I wouldn't really call it a head butt) which should've gotten him a red. It did start a touchline scrap though where their manager and our coach got sent off! Cracking atmosphere though, evenly poised for Sunday, 6pm (thanks Sky)!

I fucking hate the play offs though, I was so nervous yesterday and now I'm even more nervous! This can't be good for my health. I''ll probably have a heart attack if we get to Wembley.

I don't know about you boys, but I really couldn't handle watching the security camera footage of the days events, or the footage of the build up to it, knowing what was to come. Reading an interview with the director, he said that there was worse footage that he just couldn't include, for obvious reasons.

Just give us 6 points on the way down mate.
