Real tough watch towards the end but a deserved 3 points for #Pompey on opening day! Oxford were poor and look limited, probably a long season ahead for them. Hoping for good news re: Murphy.

Here are my takes:. Player of the season: Murphy.Top scorer: Bishop.Outperformer: Williams.Flop: Kosznovsky.Finish: 13th.Hot take: Pompey do a giant killing in one of the cups.

Come on #Pompey fans, let's have your predictions for 25/26! Always a good laugh to see how right/wrong people are. Player of the season:.Top scorer:.Player who outperforms expectations:.Player who flops:.Finishing position:.Any other bold predictions/hot takes:.

What can we make of this? Bar a few rogue shouts and Opta's predictions that are purely data driven, there seems to be a consensus among #Championship fans barring a few rogue shouts. What usually happens is one club achieves far better and one club performs far worse, but who?.

Here it is! Average #Championship predictions by various podcasts/Youtubers:. @NTT20Pod.@secondtierpod @the_irishguy.@Benjaminbloom.@GabSutton.@The92Bible.@OffTheLineBlog.@RealEFLSocial.@jackwardpodcast.@EFLStats.@OptaAnalyst.@FourFourTwo @PNEBenHD @MattSB92 @HancockAnalysis

West Brom sold out already? #Pompey.

So, I'll be collating even more #Championship 1-24's before the season begins on Friday and see what comes up and how right or wrong we're all going to be come May! @jackwardpodcast now has a "title" to defend!.

The numbers in the grid represent how many positions wrong that particular pundit got for each team with a final score totalled at the bottom. The person with the lowest score was @jackwardpodcast and was the only one to score under 100. @OptaAnalyst got most teams bang on with 6.

The position on the left of the spreadsheet was the predicted league position if all predictors' predictions were averaged and put into a league table, with the position on the right of the spreadsheet being where that team actually finished and then the disparity calculated.

The above table lists all 24 teams with the most predictable team top (Leeds with an average of average of 0.46 positions out from their actual finishing position) and least predictable team bottom of the list (Luton a whopping average of 18.69 positions worse than predicted.).

With people submitting #Championship 1-24 lists, let's look at how a group did last season & who was the most accurate out of these: @NTT20Pod @secondtierpod @Benjaminbloom @GabSutton @The92Bible @OffTheLineBlog @RealEFLSocial @jackwardpodcast @EFLStats @OptaAnalyst @FourFourTwo

That is some fine, fine shithousery from #England throughout this entire tournament.

If I were Italian I'd be fuming at that player who had a potshot in stoppage time rather than take it in the corner at 1-0 up. .

Fuck sake England I'm not supposed to be getting football related heart attacks until #Pompey have started the season! 🤣.

Whether it's signing players, ticketing schemes or kit launches, there's just no pleasing #Pompey fans on social media, eh? (That includes me sometimes, by the way!).

RT @PremiershipYrs: Pedro Mendes only scored bangers for Portsmouth. Fact. And I mean that literally; these are all five of his goals for….

RT @pompeyblue1980: Good old sky. Pompey scum away been moved to Sunday the 14th and there is no train service 🤣🤣 #pompey.

RT @AberdeenFC: Our fourth recruit of the summer is Aussie international striker Kusini Yengi.

Given where Walsall were at Christmas, that is one of the biggest bottle jobs in English football history.

Imagine losing 30 games in a Premier League season. Thirty. Three-zero. Absolutely pathetic from that lot down the road.
