No Swifty I only do home games...

The last time I was at Pompey Guy Whittingham was playing....

Still in touch with an ex Pompey player though who lived on my road

So if you had to say how you'd done, which ones do you think

a) have fulfilled expectations

b) thought they'd have done better

c) not fulfilled promise

just to update, Greaves now at Ipswich with Jack Clarke, Summerville at West Ham, Gallagher at Stoke and Zaroury at Lens

Thanks for the updates OC it's a while since I checked it....

Zaroury is a player we should have been looking at, definitely an upgrade on the left side.

I will have a think about the other questions

Could we not rename this thread to something more humorous like Nobby's Capers?

i've got a facebook with some guys who sell firesticks so you can do it from home when we play away,

not as impressive as a notebook, but I was only in beavers and the cubs when I was younger, never made it to scouts
