Three years ago today, this man was unveiled as head coach. #Pompey were 15th in League One, hadn't won in the league for three months and had gone four months without a Fratton Park league victory. An appointment which took guts - and what a remarkable journey he has overseen.

I don't normally like to rush transfer business, but given the news that it looks like Umeh is out for the season, Portsmouth need to do some urgent business.
We're the only team to have lost to Sheffield Wednesday in the league this season and that was at home. Let's get someone in as a boost.

Seeing another Tory defect to Reform is just incredible. It's the incompetent Tories defecting to Reform and people will still support them because of "too many foreigners".
14 years of Tory governments decimated this country, more of that, but under a new name, will kill it off entirely.

If we want to rein in the tech bros, I would suggest arresting Elon Musk for spreading indecent images of a child.
Make these companies actually responsible for the utterly disgusting shit posted on their site.
If Elon Musk thinks it's against freedom of speech, his hard drive needs checking.

The Minneapolis murder of a woman by an ICE agent is incredibly harrowing.
Not least because I've seen people defending ICE and blaming her.
There should never be a justification for what was essentially a public execution. The leaders of the free world have fallen into chaos.

I thought imitation was supposed to be the highest form of flattery. Not according to this petty little bitch of a president.

I always find it amazing that people rave about the job John Mousinho has done at Portsmouth, yet he never really seems to be linked with other clubs when vacancies open up.
Don't get me wrong, I do think he's done an excellent job, just find it strange no one has poached him off us.

As a result of the Portsmouth game being postponed due to a frozen pitch, I hope Mousinho is spending his time wisely by contacting Swansea and telling them Bianchini is going back and then starting the transfer business.

Ricky Gervais says his Mortality show was his most honest and confessional show ever.
Can he go back to being less honest? He was funnier then.

An LBC video from months ago came up on my IG feed and in it the guy said he was still working class despite owning 8 houses.
One comment defended him and said how it was how the economy works.
But then I started thinking and actually, landlords and renting aren't all that good for an economy.

My favourite part of the post-fight interview with Jake Paul, aside from him telling us his jaw is broken, was him saying that he wished his cardio had been better.
The guy who was dancing around for the first two rounds trying to avoid getting knocked out, didn't prepare his cardio?! Amateur.

Jake Paul looks knackered already. I feel like Joshua is letting him tire himself out before going in for the knockout blow.

I'd like to see the UK pull out of the Eurovision Song Contest 2026.
Because let's be honest, it could be just us and Israel in it and we'd still come second.

I don't want to be one of those Pompey fans, but the owners need to spend big in January.
There are quite a few positions we need to strengthen, and we need to start moving people on.
No room for sentiment when you're trying to survive in a league.

With the year coming to an end, and with FIFA seemingly able to create random trophies of their own to hand out, I think I'll do the same.
The Cnut of the Year award (misspelling is on purpose).
Might also do one to highlight the positives, particularly on social media.

Just reading up on what's happening at the FIFA World Cup draw today. Good god, just have a quick and simple draw like the FA Cup please?
I don't like all of this showbiz shit before, during and after football tournament draws.

Zia Yusuf on Question Time is an absolute arsehole.
On the channel crossings, he just shows he doesn't care. He doesn't care what your circumstances are, if you're illegal, you're gone.
Well done to @libdemdaisy.bsky.social for explaining why it is the men coming across first.

One thing from the budget I really don't understand is why they are introducing things so late.
The pay per mile on electric vehicles in 2028 and the pension taxation in 2029. If we're so desperate to raise money now, why are they introducing things so late that it'll barely affect public coffers?

I agree with Badenoch on a few things, in particular that taxing landlords will only force up rental prices. However, I don't believe she would sort the issue out as I can't see the Tories limiting the number of properties people own, something which would help people out.

Sorry for not replying sooner.
I think government comms on this whole budget has been woeful. The leaks haven't helped in the slightest.
Although I agree with this policy in principle, there are other policies which I think would be better to tax wealth but also to get the property market moving
