@pn_neil_allen Hughes. Bloody predictive text.

[Jim Stebbings @JimStebbings]

@pn_neil_allen Hugged must take the blame for this. Vastly overrated in my opinion. Don’t blame JM or the players who have their all.

@PompeyNewsNow Scored important goals for us and should have been given more opportunity in my view. Has an eye for a goal not possessed by some.

[Jim Stebbings @JimStebbings]

@pn_jordan_cross But we arn’t playing any attacking players!

[Jim Stebbings @JimStebbings]

@pompeylive I think we use it too much. Very predictable and easy to defend.

[Jim Stebbings @JimStebbings]

@pn_neil_allen @surreypomp Sorry, wasn’t you!

[Jim Stebbings @JimStebbings]

@pn_neil_allen @surreypomp Couldn’t hear you very well on the Who Needs Mourinio. Please speak more slowly and distinctly. Spoilt it for me. Sorry!

[Jim Stebbings @JimStebbings]

@Pompey Already man if the match!

[Jim Stebbings @JimStebbings]

@mrandrewmoon Is it time to give Bishop a rest? He looks tired and dispirited.

Publication Day! Richard D'Oyly Carte was one of the greatest impresarios of his age, famous for managing the sometimes fractious relationship between Gilbert and Sullivan, and enabling them to create the 14 famous Savoy Operas. And there was more: D'Oyly Carte was a builder of theatres and hotels, notably The Savoy, London's leading luxury hotel. But, set against D'Oyly Carte's many triumphs, there were tragedies. The Lost Heirs tells the story of the rise and fall of the D'Oyly Carte Dynasty, in particular the untimely deaths of Lucas and Michael, its two Lost Heirs.

@PompeyHistory Lucky enough to see him play over several seasons and to share his two given names.

@KingsTheatre Must be 65 years since I was in the Players’ production of The Boy Friend. Great to see the company thriving. Are the old photos still at the Barn?

[Jim Stebbings @JimStebbings]

@pn_jordan_cross Murphy needs to be aware of Bishop and not try to score himself every time.

@PodcastBroadway @davidafter5th Am I correct in thinking the song played in episode 1 was in 4/4 time, a style we usually associate with Jerome Kern?

[Jim Stebbings @JimStebbings]

@mrandrewmoon Why don’t we play the high press away like we do at home?

[Jim Stebbings @JimStebbings]

@POMPEYBENNY @AshPFC4 I agree

[Jim Stebbings @JimStebbings]

@PompeyNewsNow @PO4cast Abysmal. Second best in everything

[Jim Stebbings @JimStebbings]

@BluesNews_ Our defence is abysmal

[Jim Stebbings @JimStebbings]

@portsmouthnews Too generous with some of these Neil

[Jim Stebbings @JimStebbings]

@portsmouthnews We seem to get this sort of thing wrong frequently. Or at least we did.
