I've just recently started a Pompey game. Going quite well at the moment *touch wood*.

I have brought in around four players.

Curtis Davies -

Dave Nugent -

Tomas Sivok -

Liam Rosenior -

All are doing very well in my team. We are 9th in the league. Just entering the january market, don't think i'll be buying anyone as i don't want to go into the red zone lol. I'll keep you updated on big news and results

was our Marc Wilson ever on the books at Man Utd? I remember they had a Mark Wilson who went on to play for Boro and is now in the states, sure there hasnt been a mix-up?

Just started first season. Am 15th after 10 games. Benjani is on fire. Have fully embraced the Redknapp doctrine with six new signings, and have shipped about half a dozen juniors out on loan.

New men:
Bale, Southampton
Eastwood, Southend
Halford, Colchester
Dickson Choto, R/CB from Legia Warsaw
Pah-Modou Kah, DM from Roda JC
Thomas Vermaelen, L/CB from Ajax

I see the first three as investments, getting them in and training them up. Bale is probably the best-placed of the three to come in, but Halford is making good pogress on a regime to improve fitness and defending.
Choto has goodish tackling and marking but lacks pace and gets the hump on easily!
Kah came in when I thought Fernandes would be out for longer, and before I realised that Hughes looks as good as he does. Has good fitness and stamina and tackles/marks well.
Vermaelen looks promising - goodish heading, marking & tackling, and young. Has set up a couple of goals with good crosses from deep.

Sasha wasn't happy with the club's profile so I put in a hopeless bid for Fillipo Inzaghi and it cheered him up! Also offered Southapton a friendly as part of the Bale deal but the ungrateful so & so's weren't interested

Play up, Pompey!

Have to comment that the game is very realistic - Michael Brown got sent off in my 2-1 win at Craven Cottage for a sly kick at Pedro!

there was a Mark Wilson at United, but he's not our one

our Marc one has come through the ranks and he's Northern Irish unlike the other one

No mix up, we got him off Man Utd

does anyone else get money problems with portsmouth? i was a few million in teh red towards the end of teh first season and the chairman had to pay off £5m to stop the club going bankrupt (or something like that). its not so bad now with the stadium expanded by 7000 though.

i did get worried at one point though as they said they were expanding the stadium and then i got a message saying it had been expanded. by 700 seats!!!!!!!! then it got a bigger expansion a bit later on which i was thankful for!

first season i finished 11th.
players in: halford, jo, eddie johnson, kosstandinov, skiklenbrand, curtis davies, michael ball.

2nd season also finished 11th.
players in (pre 2nd season): mascherano, reo coker, vanden borre.

mascherano was amazing and now my chariman has accepted a 20m bid for him (but the teams that bid that amount never seem to have the funds which is annoying).

just need to get a good centre back and i should be set for this season coming.

Well I Managed To get relegated but im undefeated in the championship

i personally find this game harder than the last one anyone else??
