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!
