Welcome to this weeks Pod. First of all do not worry that we have switched to discussing Politics and the rise of Fascism that is threatening Western Democracies, we are actually focusing on the Right Wing of Pompey's attack. We cover the game against the Scummers and the appalling display against Sheff Weds and ponder just how it went so well against the auld enemy and what went wrong a week later. The much criticised Bianchini gets some Love - see if you disagree to our reasons why. Phils q...

The Championship season is off and running and Pompey have left fans pondering more questions than answers.

Scott is once again joined by Phil and Reece who discuss the vital games that secured Pompey's Championship status for another season.

Pod Host Scott is once again joined by Phil and Reece to dig through the ruins of Pompeys last 3 games and agonise over what may have been due to more last gasp goals. We try to answer the burning questions. Just why wasn't Derbys keeper sent off? Why wasn't a massive Swede-Serbian known for heading the ball a lot not brought on at Millwall? Are you a Gareth Evans or a Christian Burgess fancier? All that and more answered in this weeks episode. We also have a Quiz, how many top Po...
Scott is joined this week by Phil, Reece and Tim as we try to pick the bones out of the last 3 games which saw Pompey beat the best team in the league then lose to the worst. Football eh?

Our quiz this week is called Play Your Caps Right and we hope you can play along. Finally we look ahead to the now vital game against Blackburn and Reece offers up his shout fo...

On more a more serious note the Pompey Supporters Trust Survey is doing the rounds and we discuss at length the state of the club and whethe...
4th in the series of My Pompey Life discussions where I chat to Chief Sports Reporter of the Portsmouth News - Neil Allen Recently clocking up over 1000 games watching Pompey, Neil has seen the massive highs of the Premiership and the FA Cup win and also the massive lows of Pompey dropping down the divisions and almost being liquidated. He chats about Managers, Players and even a few rogue Owners which forced him to be a much a court room expert as he was a sports expert. A Villa fan but he l...
Welcome to the latest episode of the Play Up Podcast hosted by Scott Mclachlan and this week assisted by Reece, Tim and all the way from Switzerland, Simon. The baffling loss at Sheffield Utd is discussed, we still can't believe we missed those great chances, but that disappointment is countered by the hardworking win at home vs Cardiff and the 2nd away win of the season at Oxford. Langs injury is a major blow but his replacement options are discussed for the coming games and the PUP team are...
This week we review the last 3 games starting with the horror of West Brom away, the disappointment of Millwall at home ending with the utter boredom of trying to stomach Burnley at Fratton Park.

All the transfer activity from January is discussed and we size up the strength of the squad going into what hopefully will prove to be a Fab February. Plug us into...
