About

Massive Portsmouth FC supporter, I've been following the boys since our old first division days. An American long-living in Britain, I spend my days reading and writing about the English game, and am practically encyclopedic when it comes to player/club histories and statistics.

Short List

  • Favorite Athletes

    Lassana Diarra, Yakubu, Linvoy Primus, Gary O'Neil, Matthew Taylor, Alan Knight

  • Favorite Sports Teams

    Portsmouth Football Club, England National Football Team, US National Football Team

  • Favorite Coaches

    Michael Appleton, Avram Grant, Alan Ball, Jim Smith, Brian Clough

  • All-Time Sports Moment

    When Sol went up to lift the FA Cup

  • Most Memorable Game Attended

    Portsmouth 2-1 Manchester City, March 2006 - In a moment of despair for Portsmouth supporters, we saw Pedro Mendes fire in two 25 yard thunderbolts - including one that was practically the last kick of the game - to begin our great escape. It was an absolutely incredible moment, and one that many supporters believe was the reason we stayed up despite an awful season

  • Most Unbreakable Sports Record

    "Gentleman Jim" Dickinson's disciplinary record - in 845 appearances in a Pompey shirt and 48 in an England shirt, Dickinson was NEVER BOOKED a single time, earning him his nickname.

  • Pele or Maradona?

    Pele - a well respected leader of the game, rather than an over-the-top wash-up

    I’m impressed, I must say. Really rarely do I encounter a blog that’s both educative and entertaining, and let me tell you, you have hit the nail on the head. Your idea is outstanding; the issue is something that not carros enough people are speaking intelligently about. I am very happy that I stumbled across this in my search for something relating to this.

    Hey Ryan,

    I've written an article about Liverpool with religious connections as it is Easter Sunday. Now, I'm not the most religious guy on this earth, as you may have guessed, so I'm not sure how it has come out! I would appreciate your thoughts and views on it as I'm not convinced it came out as well as I had planned!
