At last, a game I can actually enjoy!

No nerves for this one.

Bit of an ask to get a win after the lads have been on a 3 day bender spending all their new Premier League wages and bonuses, but still, if we manage it, we can effectively pay Onyekas transfer fee without breaking into the promotion kitty.

Win on Tuesday, Wrexham also win confirming Pompey’s safety and all 31,000 of us have a party.

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Would love to win this, so we can play Allen & Bidwell in the final two games.

Fuck that, they can play against Watford

I want to destroy Wrexham

True. To end their play off hopes would be fantastic

Wrexham offering free travel for their supporters

This isn't going to be as easy as many seem to think. 3 wins and 3 clean sheets on the bounce including away to Middlesbrough and home to Ipswich.

But our players will be buzzing. I can see Wright and Torp starting in this one. Nervy 2-1 win and the CBS arena rocking like it's never rocked before.

 

[AOM]

3-0 win, then we can relax (although I want us to smash Wrexham as well).

Once we're done, start Allen and Bidwell for Watford assuming it will be their last games for us

Is anyone driving back to Manchester after the game? Will pay petrol

Was going to be but my other half was out with me celebrating Saturday night. She got trashed and fell and broke her hip. Just about to go into theatre right now. Bloody typical. Couldn't be there to celebrate the L1 title and now going to miss this one.

Shit mate. Hope she has a speedy recovery

Bloody hell. Hope the op goes well

 

[Lamps]

Cheers mate

Busy making a downstairs bedroom ATM. They think she will be ready to go home sometime over the weekend. So it will be early on Saturday or it will have to be on Sunday

Monday I heard

 

[Gleneagles65]

It would be very classy to acknowledge Leicester dropping to league 1 on Tuesday night too. Back to back relegations is no mean feat but they’re doing it in style.

 

[alexccfc99]

So hope we do our job and win one of the next two games

For all the drama of the last few years, I feel like the CBS is missing a proper iconic 'I was there' moment, a potential trophy lift in front of 30,000 fans in the sunshine on Sunday could be that

 

[wingy]

Is it 1-2 or two years ahead of Douglas 's prediction or pledge, what will be coming our way?

Hope shes on the mend soon mate

Same starting 11 as Blackburn although I think Lampard might start Wright

 

[Graham64]

No way he starts with 5 at the back at home

 

[edgy]

No way he starts with 5 at the back at home

I'll be booing if he does.

Fucking start a winger!

 

[COVKIDSNEVERQUIT]

Pitch invasion would have no consequences beyond a fine.

They happen every season, can’t think of any time a club has faced sporting consequences.

A pitch Invasion would mean NO TROPHY being presented and NO walk-around Stadium.

 

[skybluecam]

Same starting 11 as Blackburn although I think Lampard might start Wright

I'll skip the first half if he plays that 11 again

Trophy won't be there tomorrow anyway...

So you're saying tomorrow
Leaving the all clear for Sunday...
(Edited because duh moment)

Saving it for the Wrexham game, yeah like the sound of that. Callum Doyle it could have been you.

Well if you're going to be there on Saturday you're going to be on your own because the games on Sunday.

Sheaf working out if he was on the bench enough for a medal...

That there be a good point,

Guess it means we'd all be off home earlier too.

I think you're being ironic, Doug King will want all the bars and fanzone open all afternoon, loads of money.

Song for the 89th minute for both sets of fans
“Let’s all laugh at Leicester”

 

[Ccfc_Addy]

Anticipating a very tough game; Portsmouth were very impressive against both Leicester and Ipswich, are in strong form and have incredible work ethic and team spirit. I think if they take the lead we'll really struggle to get back in the match, and their fans will be fired-up and loud as they always are.

God, I want a win tomorrow. Imagine clinching the title at the CBS with time to spare, a phenomenal end to the greatest season of all of our lives. I'll take a scrappy 1-0 all day long.
