Maybe even punching above their weight, but the good times that they gave...

the club gave those fans far outweigh what we've enjoyed at Pompey.

And yet, and yet, up and down the country, we are seen as the loyalist, we are seen as the loudest, we are seen as the most characterful, we are seen as the most persistently optimistic crowd in the country.

And for some guy to come on and say that he thinks that the Leicester fans and Pompey fans are neck and neck...

in terms of how they sing when they're winning and boo when they're losing.

Absolutely not.

Absolutely false statement and a weak piece of journalism.

So there you are.

You can stick that in your pipe and smoke it.

Pompey fans are monitoring Oxford and Leicester closely and learnt the following this morning, which won't have spoiled their breakfast.

The newspapers in and around the Leicester area are full of it.

Portsmouth winger Gustavo Caballero is starting to build momentum in England, and his early impact is already being noticed beyond club level.

The 24-year-old, currently on loan from Santos, has been settling into life at Portsmouth in the Championship.

He has offered a detailed look at his first weeks in English football, speaking positively about the intensity of the game, his adaptation process, and his ambitions with the Paraguay national team.

On the pitch, Caballero is already being used regularly by Portsmouth.

He has made 10 appearances in the Championship so far, starting six matches and coming off the bench three times, with one unused appearance.

Across those games, he has played around 650 minutes, scoring one goal in the 3-1 win over Millwall.

He has mostly been used on the left wing, despite arriving as a right-sided attacker, which also highlights his tactical adaptation under the Portsmouth coaching staff.

While the numbers are still modest, his involvement shows growing trust from the coaching staff.

That is particularly relevant given the physical demands of the league and the adaptation period required.
