Festa forum doesn't let them type naughty words. More stars than the fucking milky way on there atm.

'If we hadn’t got the points deduction, we would probably be on less total points at this point now.'

All teams have a bad day at the office

The fact that ours are draws with clean sheets is probably something to be happy about

I still find it surprising that our players can't get themselves up for the chance to clinch it in front of their own fans against the worst team in the league's history, but anyway. We move on

If boro draw here you will see a different team at blackburn

They have stepped up to the plate in much more pressurised games than that...but yes I agree.

Shef Utd 2-1 up now

Danny Ings only just came on

Wrexham back in the playoff hunt with a win tomorrow

I think pressure does weird things to people. Realistically we've dealt with pressure a lot better than our rivals recently but clearly the opportunity to cross the line got to us. Luckily our rivals are about to flap us up so we should be pretty pressure free to hopefully go on and win the league.

"Can't get themselves up for the chance to clinch it in front of their own fans"

What utter emotive shite. Nerves play a massive part at this stage and it was just a day when things didn't click. No need for nonsense talk.

That's what it looked like to me. It was very poor indeed.

 

[covcity4life]

It's crazy how Boro don't manage to get the ball in the net. So close just now

Shef Utd 2-1 up now

Danny Ings only just came on

ex blade John Lundstam getting sent off looks to have turned that one.

Reckon Wilder is totally the type of man to take blackmailable photos of his squad so he can 'call in favours' when needed.

 

[HadjiChippo]

Second goal for Oxford!

 

[SkyBlueDom26]

Come on Pompey

 

[Chris1987]

That's what it looked like to me. It was very poor indeed.

To accuse them of not being up for it is just wrong

 

[TomRad85]

Go on Oxford!

If there was a time to be nervous it was against 'Hellball' under the lights, not in a fixture where basically every other team in the league has collected 3 points.

Leading creates a different type of pressure though. Look at Arsenal

 

[Mercian In Anglia]

Oxford 2 up now. Also, if anyone needs any further reassurance re: promotion/title, Watford look totally checked out.

Bromley lost too. Lincoln showing off (already promoted mind).

You judge football very black and white

You judge football very black and white

This is one of the occasions where it is very black and white.

 

[Ccfcisparks]

I dont know about Boro at it for Ipswich for the auto's, they might need to to secure a play off spot.

 

[SkyBlueDom26]

Boro had one off the line a few mins ago, I don’t know how they haven’t managed to score yet

 

[CCFCBat]

This is one of the occasions where it is very black and white.

No it’s not.

 

[Danceswithhorses]

pompey are going to do it

 

[HadjiChippo]

Massive weekend in the relegation fight, Leicester lose at home whilst everyone around them pick up points.

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

It’s done lads. We are up.

 

[jordan210]

Leicester lose

 

[bigfatronssba]

This is one of the occasions where it is very black and white.

Should we beat an already relegated team? Yes
Am I surprised that we didn’t? Not at all

 

[Sky Blue Goblin]

Play up Pompy

 

[HadjiChippo]

Portsmouth have nicked it!!!!!

 

[Sky Blue Wozza]

(Some drunken, nonsensical ramblings about how we failed to beat a doomed team in terrible form, despite having all of the possession and this being, you know, football)

Middlesbrough - “Hold my beer”

 

[HadjiChippo]

Get fucked Leicester

 

[Danceswithhorses]

pompey winner
