If you've been following this blog you will recall that I thought it would be interesting to track the story of Portsmouth FC during 2012 on a day-to-day basis through those tweeting using the hashtag #Pompey.
When I started on January 1st 2012 it seemed like quite a good idea - but I wasn't sure if I would be able to see it through the month let alone the year!
The good news is that I've completed the first half of the year! Now, it's time to move on to the second half with tweets from July. Enjoy.
Previous Months
You can see the #Pompey tweets from January by clicking on the link below where you can also read a little bit more about my thoughts at the start of this project. I've changed my approach to this since the start with such a rich vein of tweets on the #Pompey timeline. Originally I planned to pick a few tweets each day but I quickly changed that as the story unfolded.

@pn_neil_allen Andy Awford gives run
down on #Pompey 1st year pros in tomorrow's paper. Magri, Butler,
Thompson, Wallace, Colson, Grant, Higgins, Wheeler.
@pn_neil_allen Now Maradona has been
sacked does that mean he can finally become #Pompey global ambassador
- as once championed by that visionary Al Fahim?
@alex_crook Former #Pompey gk Jamie

@PasstheOranges Reading are also keen

@TonyHusbandBBC #pompey RT @AlanBiggs1: Re #swfc pursuit of David Norris, quite a complex one. No formal bid made, so none rejected. But very much ongoing.
@Lord_Palmerston #Pompey need the club
to be sold quickly as-is and it would be foolish at this point to
drag Miland into it or to complicate possible deals.
@iepeach But let's concentrate on the
important bit and that is acquisition of the club itself by the fans
#pompey
@iepeach Answer - the more fans that
pledge and more money the better and more feasible that might be as
guess £3-4M needed to get the land. #pompey
@iepeach Now as the story breaks about
the land expect people to say why don't the trust just buy the land
around the ground as well. #pompey
@pn_neil_allen Interesting developments
in the situation with Gaydamak’s #Pompey land.

@MYLERCCC #pompey #whereskanu perhaps
his not been given a work permit! Owing to the fact his not worked in
this country for years @pn_neil_allen
@S13SFC #pompey fans mithering about
Kanu not turning up for training should remember that it's pension
day in Nigeria. He'll be in tomorrow.
@MajorRaverMatt @pn_neil_allen with the lack of players at training & on our books 4friendly against Havant, where is Eugene Bopp when you need him? #pompey
@solentsport #pompey Michael Appleton
doesn't expect Ashley Westwood to join the club as first team coach
until the end of the week at the earliest
@BernardSincere @pn_neil_allen they
haven't let Kanu out of the old people's home #Pompey
@HeyGeno If Kanu hasn't turned up
surely we can just fire him? #pompey. Why doesn't football have same
rules as rest of us!
@pn_neil_allen Anyone know where Kanu
is? Appleton would love to know. Currently AWOL. File a missing
