    Play Up Podcast - Episode 37 - I got them post South Coast Derby Blues

    Coming down after a absolutely terrific Classicoast? Put the latest Play Up Podcast in your ears and relive some of the highs and lows of last Sunday. After two Pompey vs Scum games there was nothing between the two teams this season with neither side claiming bragging rights but we all know who has the unrivalled atmosphere and its in PO4. Join Scott, Phil Jamie and Tim as we review the win at Weds, the almost win at Watford and then the biggest game of the season.  Oh and another fiendish quiz based on player numbers. Enjoy!

    Play Up Podcast - Episode 36 - Holding in a Piss?!

    Happy New Year! Its another bumper episode to kick off 2026 and the usual gang of Scott, Reece, Jamie and Phil are once again joined by Tom Chappell from #FourNilWrittenAllOver It. Have you ever interrupted a piss to see a replay?  Find out who did in our review of the bonkers Charlton game. Arsenal came to town and we gave them a game, for a while at least, the guys discuss our fun FA Cup run of one game and the ridiculous diving that went on. We also discuss a recent U21 injury report which throws up some interesting questions about our recruitment strategy and how we are possibly failing our younger players. Phil's quiz focuses on the successes and failures of previous Jan Transfer Windows over the last 25 years and we finish off guessing how many points Pompey will have by the end of February.  Enough to stay up or are we pretty much doomed? A 1 hour 20 minute extravaganza to kick off the year, we hope you enjoy!

    Play Up Podcast - Episode 35 - Feed Mousinho (Do The Eisners Know It's Christmas?)

    Happy Christmas! The PUP team are in a festive mood and we showcase a tune that may just get the Eisners to stop playing Scrooge and start splashing the cash.  Will it work? Give a listen to Feed Mousinho (Do The Eisners Know It's Christmas?).  It's a future Xmas No 1! The team cover the last 2 and a bit games, paying their respects to the loss of Headphones Norm and celebrating the win against Blackburn. There's the Quiz of 2025 where we try and remember what happened with varying success and we also volunteer our Pompey People of 2025, who would you pick? A certain Steward gets a nod. We wish everyone who listens to our bit of bi-weekly nonsense a great Xmas and a successful 2026. Play Up Pompey!

    Play Up Podcast - Episode 34 - Pompey In Crisis??

    SPECIAL EPISODE - Are Pompey In Crisis? The Play Up Podcast team look into the various aspects of the club and discuss just what is going wrong - or right at Pompey. We start with a look at Millwall and Sheff Utd and the contrasting performances which delighted and frustrated fans. In the Pompey In Crisis section we discuss the lack of service to Bishop, puzzling formation choices, the continuing Right Wing problem and Chaplins wasted loan. Phils Quiz this week topically focuses on players who failed to work at Pompey, see if you can get them from the descriptions. We then do a deep dive into the PST meeting and Micheal Eisners somewhat rambling message to supporters and at least one of our panel was not happy at all. So, Pompey In Crisis?  Have a listen and decide for yourself.

    Play Up Podcast - Episode 33 - Pompey's lack of Ghouls

    It's our Hallows Eve episode- will it Trick or Treat you? It's fair to say that Pompey's recent performances have not been Thrillers and fans are being haunted by a lack of Ghouls so can John Mousinho cast a Spell on his Team and get them producing Fireworks once again?  All will be revealed in this Halloween episode of the Play Up Podcast. We see what went right and what went wrong at Leicester, Coventry and Stoke and Phil's quiz this week is on how well you know the careers of Pompeys current squad. Mousinho under pressure?  Another season fighting relegation? Is Chaplin more effective not playing?  All these questions are discussed and possibly answered. Lets hope the next 3 games bring a win or two. Its the last pod for a month as Scott is flying to Vegas to marry his wonderful partner Sam, see you in 4 weeks! Play Up Pompey

    Its a Big One! Scott is assisted as usual by Phil and Reece and Tom Chappell from Youtube channel Fournilwrittenalloverit joins us as a guest this week for a bumper edition as we cover all the games since the last pod - Ipswich, Watford and Middlesboro. We attempt probably the most fiendish and difficult quiz Phil has devised so far based on International Players who have played for Pompey, see if you can beat our dismal performance! Colbys drought, Chaplins position, Swifts application are all scrutinised as well as an appraisal of our progress 9 games in.  Are you disappointed to be 14th or delighted? Finally we pay tribute to Milan Mandaric and his legacy at Fratton Park and elsewhere, a man of the people with Pompey in his heart. RIP Milan. There was only ever one. Enjoy!

    Play Up Podcast - Episode 31 - The Right Wing Problem

    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 quiz this week is called "I can't believe they played for Pompey!" - join in and guess who did and didn't pull on a Pompey Blue shirt. Who might come in against Ipswich?  Will we batter Watford? Will Sammy Silvera score on his return to Fratton Park? Probably.....All this is in this weeks Episode.
