Ultra grumpy!

@WISEASS999 @JohnnyGib68 The world moved on a lot time ago! If you said ASP, I would have known what you meant!

@JohnnyGib68 @Ultragrumpy At least you tried with the truncheon joke, John. He is named Grumps for a reason.

#pompey Free country. But protesting in any way while players are trying to concentrate on getting points is not helpful to them. If at any time to do it, it's when survival or not is finally known.

@JohnnyGib68 @WISEASS999 I had the pleasure of going to Millwall, which was basically the same team that played at QPR. Why were the performances so different? It wasn't the budget, but poor coaching decisions & poor individual performances. We'll see if they step up.

@Ultragrumpy @WISEASS999 Stretching to pile the ire on one area. Budget, Budget, Budget...Or was it Location, Location, Loc... I forget. Workers and tools. And yes, he needs more than a trucheon to whack 'em into shape. Some get by with that... 😇 He needs so much more. So cheer those boys on Monday.

@WISEASS999 You're right Bob, but in many eyes this team is beyond redemption. Now they'll scrape a win at Norwich and hammer Oxford! I know, wishful thinking.

@Ultragrumpy Don't disagree. My only point, it defo won't help the team. Not when there are still quite a few games to go. Our cheapo, brittle, recruits ain't showing much. For me, only action is to support at games & hope they click. If Adams is really out now, we're in more trouble.

@WISEASS999 I agree to a point, Bob, but I was surprised how quickly it turned at QPR and it was seriously toxic. If we start in a similar way against Oxford, I fear as to what the reaction will be, and honestly, as at QPR, it will probably be deserved.

@Ultragrumpy Didn't mention who it should be aimed at. Just stated... 'protesting in any way'. One game does not make a season. As for misspending.....there wasn't much to misspend in the first place & for so many. Lowest budget & wages. Come on, Grumps, it's no surprise we're struggling.

@BBCPolitics And people wonder why Starmer is so hated in the country?

“Smash the gangs has been a total abject failure” On English Channel small boat crossing numbers, Nigel Farage asks PM “what is plan B?” Keir Starmer says the Reform UK leader has “absolutely no judgement” and attacks his stance on Iran war #PMQs bbc.in/47UF06x

@JohnnyGib68 @elonmusk The thin grey line 👵.

@elonmusk The last one won't work. The old built everything the left is trying to destroy. The old faced dreadful hardship that the young can't even comprehend. I like old 'un's, me... Kinda my club...😇

Accurate

@b_bensusan1 Totally agree, a treacherous snake.

Yes he is but he is an abomination of a human being

@VeteranIrish £1.88 wow! What's, premium 🚀 rocket fuel?🤣

Can everyone please stop with the fuel jokes!!! Im not standing for it anymore!! Well not at £1.88 a litre I’m not…. 😁

@RO8s @WISEASS999 @JohnnyGib68 Absolutely, round pegs in round holes. He got as near as dammit at Charlton & Millwall, particularly with Swift in the 10, so if he learns from those performances, we have a fighting chance.

@WISEASS999 @Ultragrumpy @JohnnyGib68 No point looking backwards now, Bob. He has what he has and has to find a way to win with it. He has two weeks to figure it out...😛

#pompey Loosely translated.... One nice goal ain't enough. Hurry up & do something. 🤷‍♂️

@WISEASS999 @JohnnyGib68 @RO8s 2/2 Finally, other than Bob, I think it's widely accepted that some of Mousinho's decision making has been poor in relation to tactics, team selection & substitutions. No one escapes criticism for our predicament.

@WISEASS999 @JohnnyGib68 @RO8s It's a combination of things Bob, and I think most people realise that now. Yes the budget we assume isn't great, but what part are Cullen & Hughes playing in advising Eisners and managing that budget? Then is Brad Wall up to finding suitable players? 1/2

@JohnnyGib68 @WISEASS999 More likely Matt Ritchie saw through Mousinho and Jose didn't like it. Wanting to play every game is a red herring leaked by the club, but it's fair to ask what's the problem if he wanted to?

@Ultragrumpy @WISEASS999 He did & maybe that was the problem. Again, like so many things, complex. If he did want to play more aggressive, did JM think the staff could cope with that? They are struggling with the slow stuff. Or did Matty R see the owners ambition & legged it? So many permutations.

@RO8s @WISEASS999 @JohnnyGib68 Exactly

No, just no. He's always wanted to play like that. That's what League 1 looked like. We only win when we attack flat out from the first minute. He's been forced to play like that, but he doesn't like it. And what he thought he was doing trying to play Adams in the 10, I have no idea.🤪

@WISEASS999 You rude bugger!🤣

@Ultragrumpy Get some bloody specs then...🤣😂

@JohnnyGib68 @WISEASS999 Exactly, I think some forget we did it in League One, boring everyone to the title. Rafferty's & Raggett's continuous sideways & backwards passing, Macey's delaying play, it's nothing to do with the current squad. Last season we had Ritchie who more than anyone, played at pace.

@WISEASS999 @Ultragrumpy You're shouting because it is such an obvious point. I like JM. But a major criticism is that he is too defence and happy to see a sloooooooow build resulting in wot e said... Added to the fact that the front row has zero pace & midfield less, it explains our current position.

@WISEASS999 Well recollections vary Bob, we all see the game through different eyes.

@Ultragrumpy To which attacking strengths do you refer, good sir? 1. Shooting accurately from long/short range making goalie shit himself stopping it, or actually scoring? 2. Dribbling past defenders at pace, then passing & assisting in a CF bullet header/shot, resulting as in 1 above?

@mrandrewmoon @chriswisey @pn_neil_allen I would add Andrew, I've never accused you of being positive, but I have numerous times raised your closed questions interview technique and your failure to challenge Mousinho. There's a big difference.

@mrandrewmoon @chriswisey Absolutely, the worm has turned🤣, I won't say I told you so. Still you're not alone Andrew, @pn_neil_allen has also jumped over to the dark side, its been a long time coming!🤣 Seriously, Mousinho has had an easy ride and now his shortcomings are clear for all to see.

🚨Who Needs Mourinho?🚨 Where do #Pompey go from here? @chriswisey and myself try and work that out as well as looking back on Saturday Click the link or search "Portsmouth" on the BBC Sounds App to listen.... bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p0…

@WISEASS999 I can't wholly disagree with that Bob, but perhaps playing to people's strengths might be a starter for the coaching team?

@Ultragrumpy Not surprised though, Grumps. It was a Hell Mary signing like last summer's signings. Perhaps he'll suddenly get better & Alli with 2 wks off & some more trg....🤦‍♂️
