Match Thread Portsmouth vs. Coventry City Match Thread - Tuesday 20th Aug (2 Viewers)

Looking forward to it. Will be having a beer or two at my local, Eastney Tavern, before walking to the game. About time I had bragging rights over the in laws.

If we give a good account of ourselves I'll be happy. We won't face many better sides than Pompey this year.

In the companion in the sun. Nice one.

Reckon you'll still be there at 7ish LG? Be nice to say thanks to your face for getting me those tickets last season.

If it's a case of 'not wanting to meet your idols' and you've done one by then, I'll understand ;-)

Go on the club website, click on fixtures, then match centre for the Portsmouth game.

Also I never really noticed delayed commentary until the Bristol game.

I think they introduced the delay after the disallowed goals V Bolton

Last time I was at Fratton Park to watch cov Crouch was playing for Pompey, think he scored the winner. We had to wear their away kit. About 12 years ago I think.

Really looking forward to tonight, full house in a proper old football ground.

Fancy us 3-1.

Yellow kit tonight

I went in there before / after the FA cup game a few years ago, it was OK. Iirc it's a chain type pub, possibly a Sizzler

Wishful thinking?

Have a spare ticket, if anyone is interested?

It’ll be just like watching Brazil

Love the kit but “Yellow Army” doesn’t quite sound as intimidating

Unreasonably excited for this.

The Oxford lads don’t scare you?

Portsmouth fans think they are going to smash us.

If they had a bookies nearby I'd put Pompey - 1 and - 2...

Hope I'm wrong.

@Skyblueweeman I'm keeping an eye out for you, I'm assuming you're a tall fella?

You could attempt a reworking of that Donovan song.

So do I. I’m excited that we may not get smashed. And if so obviously we are going to win the league.

Would be nice if we made a statement of intent. We never give anyone a thorough kicking, even when we are playing well, just once it'd be nice to turn up as the underdog, surprise everyone and run riot.

If we actually turn up to give them a game we could easily get at-least a point, if we sit back from the first minute then that's another story.

Reluctantly, I'm going for a draw.

Looks like Allen is taking longer than expected to recover. Was hoping we’d see a cameo today.

Play off team v team in bottom half of the league.

Bring it on !
