Well, that was quite emotional! We’ve trawled The News archives for this week’s Pompey premium newsletter to
take a special journey remembering Milan Mandaric’s Fratton tenure - in the words of the great man himself.

NHS Trust apologises for long QA wait times and overcrowding after concerns raised Queen Alexandra Hospital has apologised to patients for the long wait times in its emergency department after overcrowding concerns were raised by inspectors for the Care Quality Commission (CQC).

QA A&E dept can't cope despite size boost. A shame the trust didn't answer when I asked if more if more space also meant more staff. Suspect I know the answer. Also a shame there's not another major A&E unit locally to share workload, as there used to be. www.portsmouth.co.uk/health/qa-ho...

Triffic win for #Pompey today... much deserved, I thought. Mentions in dispatches for Pack, Yang, Ogs and Poole, while Bishop worked so hard for no reward. Officials were ropey at times; Boro made to look ordinary. Decent first batch of 9 games - we are on course for 61pts.

Portsmouth boss’ honest view on where side stand ahead of Southampton derby Pompey have started the Championship season in decent fashion, but John Mousinho has given an honest appraisal of where his side are in terms of performance levels ahead of the south-coast derby with…

πŸ’¬ John Mousinho: β€œWe were okay against Norwich and we were okay against Preston, but that’s not what we need - we need better than okay especially when we’re playing in front of our own fans.”
