Just watched the first video against Watford mate, unlucky not to win and hope that flu gets better :D also, nice to see Tom Carroll in there.

As for the update, unlucky man, was always going to be a difficult run and coming out with a points wasn't bad. Will watch the next video in 10 or so minutes. Good work mate!

Don't lose sight of that top-10 spot. Those players gotta earn wearing those club colors!!

Top 10 would be a nice fuzzy story mate - though tbh anywhere apart from 16th is already dreamland!

Mate I've only just caught up on this and i must say it was a fantastic read at the start, however the lads were right about including screenshots too as some people aren't prepared to read that much lol 

Great going on getting Pompey back where they truly belong!

Also some of your signings have been epic! Pasalic for a mere Million, Jack cork on a free, Quitongo has looked good so far too, keep going, following with interest now pal!

Congrats on the Cameroon job bud!
