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!

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.

 The Championship season is off and running and Pompey have left fans pondering more questions than answers.

Luckily a lot of the questions are discussed in this weeks episode and perhaps we provide one or two answers.

We discuss players who have arrived, Swift, Segacic and others and we also discuss and lament players who have left.  Plus those still sitting in the doorway when it comes to the likes of Matt Ritchie.

The Quiz is based on Pens, inspired by Colbys latest miss, play along if you can name any of Pompey top 10 Penalty takers in the last 20 (odd) years.

And to wrap up we answer listener questions from our Facebook group about more transfers plus we look ahead to West Brom and Preston.

Phil provides a Quiz which you can play along with, just who are Pompey's 12 most expensive signings? And which one may be a Bigamist?!

The guys give their predictions for Top 6 and Bottom 3 and we once again prove AI is really no more clever than your average Scummer fan when predicting who may go up and who may go down.

Play Up Podcast team

Scott and the Play Up Podcast gang

Its a celebratory Podcast and the penultimate one of this season and what a season its been!

Scott is once again joined by Phil and Reece who discuss the vital games that secured Pompey's Championship status for another season.

Its a Final Day quiz as well this week, with Scott and Reece being tested on final day games and their efforts probably demonstrate that End of Season games, unless you win the League, are very forgettable.

We also give Christian Saydee some love alongside Harvey Blair.  Are you able to guess how much Pringles cost in Sheffield?  Wonder no longer you find the answer here....

It's been a great season, we will cover all that in our final Pod in 2 weeks time, so please enjoy this weeks efforts without any last game worries.

Enjoy!

Pod Host Scott is once again joined by Phil and Reece to dig through the ruins of Pompeys last 3 games and agonise over what may have been due to more last gasp goals.

We try to answer the burning questions.  Just why wasn't Derbys keeper sent off? Why wasn't a massive Swede-Serbian known for heading the ball a lot not brought on at Millwall?  Are you a Gareth Evans or a Christian Burgess fancier?

All that and more answered in this weeks episode.

We also have a Quiz, how many top Pompey goal scorers can you name that are still playing professional football?  Not as easy as it sounds.

We look ahead to the last few games of the season, will 4point be enough? Or is one win enough to do it?  We're confident we will stay up, are you?

Let's see what happens! Play Up Pompey and enjoy the latest episode.

Scott is joined this week by Phil, Reece and Tim as we try to pick the bones out of the last 3 games which saw Pompey beat the best team in the league then lose to the worst.  Football eh? Bloody Hell.

We discuss what went right, and then what went a bit wrong and Scott is STILL furious with Mousinho over Preston.

Our quiz this week is called Play Your Caps Right and we hope you can play along.

Finally we look ahead to the now vital game against Blackburn and Reece offers up his shout for the hero for the last 8 games that can help Pompey get the 8 or so points required to stay up.

We hop you enjoy our latest Pod.

Play Up Pompey!
