What a difference a week makes in Football! Pompey are off the bottom of the table and their talismanic Striker has returned after heart surgery.

Your host - Scott Mclachlan - is joined by Phil and Tim to discuss Pompey's last 3 games which included, finally, a bombastic home win to make that 2 wins in the Championship.

Phil updates us from the Annual Pompey Supporters Trust meeting with the top brass and confirms what will definitely happen in the January Transfer window and its not just loans! He also has an update from Murphy's Fratton End nemesis.

We look ahead to Blackburn, Millwall and Swansea and how we will fare and its fair to say the mood has changed since the previous pod. Surely Pompey are safe now?

Listen in and find out. Enjoy!

Pompey relegated already?

After a tough week for Pompey, the Play Up gang look back at the last 3 games and try and make sense of the state of the Club.

The team is analysed from back to front as we try and make sense of just how and why Pompey are playing so badly and we get some unique insight into just what the Eisners are thinking about how the season could pan out.

Is Mousinho jobs safe? Should it be? Will Pompey pull off a great escape once Shaughnessy and Bishop return?

Who was spotted in an Ikea lift and what were they buying?

When will Pompey get their first win and is it just like the season in 87-88 when we we're just not good enough?

We all ponder what a group of Pundits is called and prove once again that Ai is not taking over the world anytime soon.

3rd Special Episode of the Play Up Podcast - recorded 19th September 24

Welcome to the 3rd of our special episodes where I interview Pompey Fans and people connected to the club both past and present.

Reece Hawkins went to his first game in 2004 and it turned out to be a drama filled game that got him hooked for life!

Sporting a big hat a la Westwood, he enjoyed Pompey's Premiership adventures and 4 Wembley trips as he grew up with a soft sport for Paddy Berger. Many other games are remembered, especially one involving Limbs at St Marys.

We discuss his involvement with the Chi Supporters Club and the 4 Nil crew. The way he speaks about his friends is very touching and it was a delight to listen to him.

I hope you too enjoy an engaging chat!

This week Scott, Jamie and Reece discuss the last 2 Championship games and decide just how badly we were humped by Sunderland.

Deadline day gets covered and we discuss how long it will take for all the new signings to gel, has John Mousino decide that he can't be arsed with the first 7 games and is building a team to have a storming Winter?

We also go back in time and discuss previous transfer window surprises and vote for our best ever signing.

Please Enjoy!

The Play Up Podcast team discuss the first two fixtures of the season which have brought Pompey 2 points and a very decent start to life back in the Championship.

We try and unpick the madness that took hold of Kaminski with the Fratton End view giving us insight into the barney that caused it.

We delve also into Roman history to work out when Pompey last beat 10 men plus we lick our lips with the signing of Abdulaye Kamara and maybe Robocop and see who else might join and leave Pompey before September.

Finally we look toward our next two games and how the first month might look in terms of points.

Please Enjoy!

10th Episode of the Play Up Podcast - recorded 1st August 2024

We're Back!

Pompey are back in the Championship and its safe to say that the Play Up Podcast team are bricking it.

We discuss the current state of the squad, Bishops dodgy ticker and we bodyshame Usain Bolt as well as looking at those first 4 League games that Pompey will play in August.

No-one cares about the League Cup and Pompey rarely reach round 2 or even 3 so we didn't bother with that.
