Didn't have high hopes after posting a sub-150 but #England bowlers played a blinder. #ICCWC2026

Massive result for #Pompey today. Got to keep that momentum going. #wearestayingup

2 away? At the New Den? I did not see that coming! #pompey

Let's hope this positive news gets as much attention as the people who try to convince us that the UK is a murder ravaged hellscape. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I feel nervous with Schmid in goal in a way I don't with Bursik.

70 minutes of tedium and then a moment of joy. Power to Segecic! #Pompey #PFC #WatvPor

Bought the splendid Drink Maps in Victorian Britain by @drinkmaps.bsky.social on Saturday and finished it in 2 days! Fabulous glimpse into Victorian social history and the perfect accompaniment to the reprint of the 1886 Temperance Drink Map of London that I acquired some years ago!

Differences between office life and #WFH part 1,312: Rarely in the office am I asked to reduce the volume of my music due to a child needing to get back to sleep. Especially when I am on my third cuppa of the day!

A gentle reminder if you've received an invoice from a Freelancer/Self employed person which is due before Christmas. Be a love, and pay it today.

There will come a date, and we may already have passed it, which people in future will use as a guide whether to buy translated foreign-language books or not.

Nothing underlines the utter pointlessness of the Scottish League than seeing fans of the two Glasgow giants bereft at their clubs’ current form. I was at school when the title last left Glasgow. The sense of entitlement displayed these fans is laughable. At last: competition! Long may it last!

Charlton vs Pompey abandoned after a fan taken ill in the stand. Wishing them the best and learn CPR if you haven’t already www.bhf.org.uk/how-you-can-...

If the writer’s eyes light up when asked, “why did the character do that?” then it’s real.

Donald Trump destroyed public service broadcasting in the US - it's little surprise Nigel Farage wants to do the same thing here. Trump’s America, don’t let it become Farage’s Britain.

Exchanging shirts at half-time? What's that all about? #AlbEng #WCQ #AlbvEng #football #gamesgone #England

Kinda feels like the momentum from the Wrexham game has continued today. Real attacking intent from #Pompey. Great goal from Devlin. I'll take a deflection every time! #Hull #HCFCvPFC #Championship

Feel #Jesus returning is a much bigger story than downpage in #BBCSport if I am honest.

#JohnColtrane is such a salve for the soul in these tortuous times. There are not many dead musicians whom I would have craved to see live, Bob Marley is one. Miles Davis another and Billie Holliday too. But Coltrane is #supreme. What pure emotional joy his #jazz represents.

Good lord. www.glasgowbell.co.uk/raise-the-co...

Thanks #Amazon. Parcel delivered from a friend. Contained a book. No knock. No ring of the doorbell. No card through the door. Left outside by recycling bin. Totally soaked in rainstorm. Found it by chance this a few moments ago. #Ruined.

How does the 2nd #coventry goal stand? Surely the assist directly follows a blatant push? #PFCvCov #Pompey #Championship

Am I going mad or have #Leicester changed shirts at half time for ones with a sponsor? #Pompey #LFCvPFC #Championship #PUP

Time to turn it up #loud for #Kiss #Alive in memory of #AceFrehley. Plenty of highlights in the Kiss back catalogue but Alive was my entry point and despite studio overdubs and all that it still rocks hard and I like it as much now as I did 40 years ago. #RIP

Cannot understand why the Beeb are so desperate to employ Rooney. He's got a column on the web, a podcast and bored punter slots on #Motd. He makes Shearer sound like a consumate professional. He's worse in the media than as a manager. And I'd never have thought that possible after Birmingham.

Could #Pompey be any more Pompey than this? Abject and lacking quality v second bottom Sheff Wed a couple of games back. Conceding 2 sloppy goals v Watford midweek. And now, beating the form side of the division. It's never boring at #FrattonPark #PUP

Sad to hear Danny Thompson has died. I'll be spinning John Martyn's magnum opus Solid Air later on which Danny played in tribute. #RIP #DannyThompson #Pentangle #JohnMartyn #NickDrake #RichardThompson

If you see this, post a concert pic of your own. This is Kristin Hersh of the mighty Throwing Muses earlier this month at the Wedgewood Rooms in Portsmouth.

I'll take a point. Things I learned: 1 Our keepers need to be told to stay in their areas 2 Killip needs kicking lessons 3 Segecic needs passing lessons 4 Chaplin needs to continue to start. He'll only get better with more awareness of his new teammates 5 Our press can be very effective #Pompey

What is Schmid doing there? Numpty. #Pompey #SouvPor

Amazing how much better a #Twenty20 match is when it's not a 5-over farce! #engvsa #cricket

One assumes they see the irony in this? I would assume* hope that if I install the software it inevitably want me to buy that I would no longer see their own ads? *Not really assuming this, of course. #clickbait #adblocker

What on earth is the point of a 5-over #cricket match? Aside from not wanting to refund the paying crowd, of course. Farcical. #engvsa #20twenty

Hope this does not mean more interest for Murphy from Leicester. #Pompey #PFC #PUP [From BBC] Leicester winger ⁠⁠⁠Bilal El Khannouss is likely to join Stuttgart on loan from the Foxes. The 21-year-old had been attracting interest from Crystal Palace but is now due to move to the Bundesliga.

I was unfair of Tom Brady to knock Wayne Rooney’s work ethic. He should have bemoaned his absolute lack of management prowess instead. I see after Derby, Brum and Plymouth have all had a go he is now shilling a pod on the BBC. He may have found his level at last. www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba...

#Slightlydiminishaband Crosby, Stills, Nash and Manilow

Well that was a shambles. Disappointed with the team selection. And I am not sure even I can roll out the old "now we can concentrate on the league" excuse after just the 2nd game of the season. Poor. We need momentum ahead of Norwich and this ain't it. #Pompey #PFCvRea #CarabaoCup

I guess we're learning just how deep (shallow) the squad is right now. #Pompey #PFCvRea #CarabaoCup

So pleased it didn't take #Pompey as long to register their first win of the season as it did last year! Big 3️⃣ points today. #pup

Not a fan of the Italian time wasting. 60 minutes in FFS.

Who was moaning about putting India in on day one? Me? Ah, yes, it was! But what do I know? Great win against a proper side. England proved themselves over the magnificent five days. What an inspiring example of the beauty of test cricket. #EngvInd #TMS #TestCricket #England #India #Headingly

No surprise that Reform are following the Maga playbook. Resist. Resist. Resist. Nigel Farage says abortion laws are “utterly ludicrous.” MPs are watching. We have days to show them: the public backs abortion rights. Join me and sign the petition now! you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/de...

I have tickets to see #Belly and #ThrowingMuses in the autumn. I saw #Ride and #Slowdive last year and I have my eyes on new albums by #Stereolab and #Pulp. Did I fall asleep and wake up in 1994?

We're all #Palace today aren't we? #FACupFinal

This is like some cursed Abbott and Costello bit.

I cannot understand why #Ultrasound's Everything Picture is not considered a stone cold #90s #indie classic. It is an absolutely killer album. Bit of #shoegaze, bit of #metal and a hint of proggy electronica (especially the 40-minute title track).

If you're pissing off Sharon Osbourne you're alright by me. BBC News - Call for Kneecap's US visas to be revoked after Coachella www.bbc.com/news/article...

When you become a cartoon villain in the Beano maybe it's time to rethink your life choices.

Bring on the #Scummers!

Where did 10 minutes of stoppage time come from? #PFCvWAT

Massive first half. Bishop absolutely stepping up for the pen too. Win will be vital if we hold on. #apompey #NorvPom
