         <title>Indifference. </title>
         <description><![CDATA[Losing last week to Tottenham stung, I won't lie. But a draw with Hull City, really didn't do anything for me. And I'm starting to wonder if the lads are feeling indifferent.

The ESPNSoccernet match report summed it up rather brilliantly, "<em>Hull and Portsmouth settled for a point apiece from a dismal Premier League basement scrap</em>."

Chances were scarce and goodness it was dull. And that's coming from someone that enjoys county championship cricket, it takes quite a lot to bore me. But, Hull and Pompey succeeded.]]></description>

         <title>Under new ownership. </title>
         <description>So, I guess we have new owners. After the win, the first article I read wrote off Portsmouth and all their hopes of staying in the Premiership. I was so upset that I didn&apos;t read football news for two or three days. So, I was a little surprised to see that &quot;Dr.Al-Fahim&quot; was out and the Saudi Arabian oil-rich brothers Al-Faraj have completed the second takeover in as many months.</description>

         <title>Portsmouth United FC</title>
         <description>Parallels are being drawn between the Leeds United meltdown and our current crisis. A large portion of the Blue Army have resigned themselves to relegation, to the absolute collapse of the club they love. But I refuse to be counted among those, because the difference between Leeds and Portsmouth is this: we can pull out of this. </description>

         <title>That one hurt</title>
         <description><![CDATA[Drawing hurts. Losing hurts. Saturday's game against Bolton, that hurt. And it hurt bad. It seemed to be one thing after another for Pompey on Saturday. And our hopes of turning things around were squashed by Gary Cahill's *ahem* goal. 

What probably hurt worse was seeing goals from Liverpool and Arsenal and Manchester City flash on the screen while we struggled against a side I know we are capable of beating.

Now, I could blame the ref for allowing Cahill's *ahem* goal, or I could bemoan the, put in the most polite terms possible, "soft" penalty that was given. I could point out that it <em>should</em> have finished 2-1 in our favour.]]></description>

         <title>Fortune favours the bold. I hope. </title>
         <description>On the 12th of September we face Bolton. And with the new signings, financial stability (knock on wood) and the international break I think we will take all three points. 

Ahh, international breaks. A time to see your country in action, a time to take a break from the hustle and bustle of club football and in this case, a time to gel. On the last day of the transfer window Pompey were busy at work bringing in new faces and getting ready for the long months ahead. 

Not only will it give Paul Hart a chance to re-evaluate the squad after the Transfer Day Drama, but it will allow the new players to gel with their teammates.</description>

         <description><![CDATA[It's been a week since the bottom fell out of Sulaiman al-Fahim's bid to buy Portsmouth. Or so it seemed. After seven days of rampant speculation linking a number of suitors to Pompey including Peter Storrie, Big Foot and myself, Mr. Fahim is apparently back on the right track.

Or so it seems. According to the guys at espnsoccernet.com, Sulaiman al-Fahim has told everyone that <a href="http://soccernet.espn.go.com/news/story?id=670817&sec=england&cc=4716" target="_blank">it's a done deal</a>. 

My reaction? Whatever. Who cares? Big deal.]]></description>

         <title>Bored over the summer holiday</title>
         <description>Fortunately for Pompey it&apos;s been a relatively quiet summer at &quot;The Fortress&quot;. With the two biggest story lines being bright futures and a loved one moving on. I don&apos;t know about the rest of you lads but I hope that it stays that way.</description>
