Another season done, and Portsmouth will be competing in the Championship again next season.  Whether John Mousinho will still be leading the club remains to be seen amid interest from Bristol City F.C., but either way, another summer rebuild looks to be on the horizon. Mike and Dan take a look at the current squad and discuss who they’d keep, who could benefit from a loan move, and who they’...

That's another season over and done with. The Birmingham game started lively but ended with an end-of-season feel to it.  Segecic scores again. We concede from a set piece - again! And Andre Dozzell has already announced he's off.  Another summer rebuild begins.  In this episode -  📩 Your comments from The Postbag 👌 Birmingham City Review 👊 Fight! 💙 What we have coming up i...

What a great way to wrap up our away season with a comfortable win against a poor Stoke City team.  Adrian Segecic will rightly take the headlines with his well-taken hattrick, but it was another good performance from a team that included many 'fringe' players.  In this episode -  📩 Your comments from The Postbag 😁 Stoke City Review 🔎 Birmingham City Preview  Get your commen...

We are staying up! It's been a slog, we've been battered and beaten, but Portsmouth will be a Championship club again next season.  It wasn't pretty, but it's done.  In this episode -  😁 Leicester City Review 🤬 Coventry City Review 💪 Where do we need to strengthen next season? ❓ John Mousinho - Will he stay or will he go?   Enjoying the Pompey Podcast?  Please con...

What a difference a week makes. From staring relegation in the face as one of the favourites for the drop, to six points against two of the top teams in the division.  We rode our luck at Boro and were superb at Fratton against Ipswich.  Mike, Dan and Tolly give their views on the Middlesbrough and Ipswich Town games, and look ahead to remaining fixutres for the six teams still in the re...

Two games over Easter and two points gained (or is it 2 dropped?) After QPR the mood was low among many Pompey fans but a well-earned point lifted the spirits on Good Friday and gave us hope going into the six pointer against Oxford.  After a bright start and an early goal from the lively Anderson, the ref decided he wanted to be the star.  Mike and Dan look at the talking points from th...

What can we say except - OMG are we in trouble.  1 point from 18 now, and 6 goals shipped at QPR. How do Portsmouth turn this around? Can Portsmouth turn this around.  Mike, Dan and Tolly discuss the 6-1 defeat at Loftus Road, and look at what comes next for Pompey.  Let us know your thoughts on this week's 3% question which is available around 38 mins.  Enjoying the podcast?&n...

Two home games = two home defeats. Sad times down at PO4 currently.  What can we do to turn this around? Who will lift this team and offer some hope? We need goals and we need wins - and soon.  Mike and Dan review the Swansea City and Derby County defeats, as well as glancing forward to QPR at the weekend.  What do you think? Will we survive or are we DOOMED! Let us know what you th...

Another case of what could have been for Pompey in what was a dire game at Blackburn. 1-0 up going into stoppage time and looking good for a valuable 3 points, then ex-Portsmouth loanee, Hayden Carter pops up with an equaliser. You couldn't write.  The postbag is full of comments about Colby this week, so we'll discuss his situation and take a look at the upcoming fixtures, as well as discuss...

After the sunshine comes the rain. Back-to back wins followed by back-to-back defeats.  Mike & Dan review the Wrexham and Hull games, as well as asking the question "Is it time to give Brown a chance and for Bishop to have a break?" Let us know your thoughts on Pompey's current situation, and you could feature on next weeks postbag.  Also, why not join the 3% club by answering this w...

What a week! Two away games in London, two wins, six goals.  Portsmouth pulled away from the relegation zone impressively with 3-1 wins away at Charlton and Millwall.  From Devlin's drive to Packs punisher, we have the goals and give you our views on the games.  We'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments.  And while you're there, let us know if you're part of the 3% club.&...

Another game that we could've won, another game that we have lost.  Goals win games, and Portsmouth are not scoring any at the moment.  Mike, Dan and Tolly discuss the Sheffield United game, discuss JMs comments about transfers, and also the growing injury list.  What do you think? Send us your thoughts for the Postbag - we love hearing from you!  If you’re part of the 3% club...

Rant incoming. Yes, we lost. Yes, it should've been a penalty and a red. It's another example of a team being there for the taking but Pompey come away with no points.  We played OK, in fairness, and we look like a much more balanced team with the new signings.  But when are we going to learn. At this level, if you give teams a chance, they will often take it. What do you think? Send us...

Well, that was good wasn't it? Results have been decent lately, but against West Brom Pompey not only got there best result of the season to date, but possibly their best performance too.  What a difference a few new faces make. Alli and Adams were excellent, but everyone put in a shift.  In the first of 2 episodes this week, Mike & Dan discuss the West Brom mauling and look at the t...

Do Portsmouth have a new hero in Ebou Adams? The £500k signing has started his Pompey career very well, slotting in to the centre of our midfield as if he's played here for years.  His goal gave us a point vs the scum, but he's been all action from the start.  Mike, Dan and Tolly take a look at 2 draws vs Watford and Southampton, both of which could've been victories.   We'll a...

Not the best game but it's 3 points and a clean sheet away from home, which is a rarity for Pompey.  So we'll take it, and move on to Watford. Join Mike and Tolly who discuss Portsmouth's win at Hillsborough, along with the performance of the new signings.  plus we look ahead to the Watford game and the small matter of the South Coast derby on Sunday.  Get involved. Send us your tho...

On paper, a 4-1 defeat looks bad. As does conceding 3 more from set pieces. But on the pitch it actually wasn't too bad and there were positives to take into our league form.  Plus Colby scored, which is a big plus and hopefully will be the start of a change in form for him.  Join Mike and Tolly who discuss our home defeat to Premier League leaders, Arsenal.   Want to get invol...

Oh dear oh dear! 2025 ends on a low at Ashton Gate as Pompey were hit for 5 by Bristol City Big transfer window required to get us out of this mire.  Join Mike and Dan who try to pick out what went wrong and discuss what Pompey need from the window.   Want to get involved? Send us your thoughts for the Postbag - we love hearing from you! And if you’re part of the 3% club (you know w...

What a great ay to end 2025 - 4 games unbeaten and a rare home win over Charlton.  Mike and Dan discuss the late drama at Fratton, and ask "are these results just papering over the cracks?" Want to get involved? Send us your thoughts for the Postbag - we love hearing from you! And if you’re part of the 3% club (you know who you are), let us know. Enjoying the podcast?

Points shared at Pride Park. Pompey opened the scoring with a great goal from possibly their most fluid piece of play in several years, but were unable to hold out as Derby deservedly equalised before half time.  A game of little quality and few chances, but the point keeps us above the drop zone - just! Want to get involved? Send us your thoughts for the Postbag - we love hearing from you! A...

Pompey are back to winning ways at Fratton Park! A hard-fought victory over Blackburn Rovers ends the losing run and lifts us out of the drop zone. Goals from Callum Lang and Ibane Bowat sealed the deal, with a much-improved performance from the lads. Mike and Tolly break down the game and share your thoughts from the Pompey Podcast Postbag. Want to join the conversation? Drop us a message for the...

Another away game, another defeat, and another lackluster performance from the blues.  We're now fully signed up for a long, hard relegation battle between now and the end of April. Something needs to change at Portsmouth, and very soon.  It's just Mike this week, who looks at the Swansea game and asks 'what do we need to change?' Get involved in the discussions by writing to the Pompey...

Where oh where do we start? 2 games, no points, no goals scored. From Delvin's red, to defending set-pieces, to starting games poorly, to not creating enough chances, to dropping into the bottom three - this has been a very bad week for Portsmouth.  In a very long episode, Mike and Dan discuss Sheffield United and Bristol City, ask what is going on at PO4, and can we urn it around against Cha...

It was cold and wet at Fratton Park, but we were warmed by a fine Portsmouth performance against Millwall.  Pompey have struggled against the Lions recently, losing all three matches last season. But the lads were definitely up for this one, coming forward from the off.  Two fine strikes from our full backs did the majority of the damage.  It was great to see Schmid, Segs and Lang b...
