Wasn’t he the mole when Bruce was in charge?

Longstaffs i thought

I'm not clicking on it, but that's a joke, right? I'm happy for him, but that's unbelievable. Unless it's as a coach or somesuch.

Probably one of those U21 player/coach types like Huddlestone at Man Utd and Spearing at Liverpool. Gets to move back home in the process 

[TBG]

Got to wonder what they see in him, that we don't? 

 

Time will tell if it was the right decision to let him go.

Love that for him, tbh.

love the fact he mentions that burton game.

 

 

 

 

 

My last game at SJP before emigrating.  I broke my self-imposed Ashley exile to go one last time (hadn’t stepped foot in the ground in years at that point).  Can still see his goal in my mind’s eye - it was a rocket

[Miggys First Goal]

Got a farm down there hasn’t he?

[The Prophet]

 

FI in the mud.

[Charlies]

Good luck to the lad 

[PauloGeordio]

May the corner flag terror live on! 

[Kanj]

Wait, what happened to Bournemouth 

[Rafalove]

Great servant to the club.

[Pilko]

Nice move for him, back on the South Coast and at his first club. Imagine his leadership and knowledge of that division will come in handy for a newly-promoted side looking to consolidate, although he won't have the legs for Saturday-Tuesday-Saturday anymore so probably plays a squad role.

 

Hope he does well there.

[Kid Icarus]

Godspeed Matthew!

[Joelinton7]

Wha? Thought it was Bournemouth? Turncoat 

[toon25]

Good fucking luck to him. Been fantastic for us and this club 

[WilliamPS]

Good luck to him, put the graft in for years.

 

He could never have joined Bournemouth, he cannot play in the PL now, however the Championship might give him a nice final hurrah

[AdoptedGeordieFromPompey]

As a Pompey mush with a soft spot for Eddie Howe and Newcastle (hence why I'm here) this is probably a good spot for my first post.

 

Many moons ago, Pompey played reserve matches at Aldershot where I was living, so I saw Ritchie coming through the ranks and he was the only player that showed any inkling of making it. He's had a really solid career up with you guys and has long said he wanted to complete his career back at Fratton Park. Now we have two Pompey boys in the squad with him joining Marlon Pack. I'm happy to have him back as think that bit of experience along with Pack will be important to Championship survival. 

 

We'll take good care of him as he is one of our own.

Fair play that's a great move for him. He's been immense on (for a few seasons) and off it and been a bit of a father figure for some for the last few years. Great pro, talented and will still do a decent job for Portsmouth for a coupe of years - hope he smashes it and they appreciate him, top bloke
