Any commentator who still considers them a contender isn't worth listening to

Steady on I'd expect a siege mentality when we go there, probably under a different manager.

yes same he looked a threat i thought, more so than the winger everyone was raving about

I thought their S.Korean winger was decent to be fair. I was surprised when they took him off.

he had the beating of MVE a couple times but he didn’t really create much

That Japanese player that tats was sharing pleasantries with on Saturday got the opener,Ohaji was his name I thought he had the same name as our lethal machine.

Pompey fans unbelievably complementary about us online .. some suggesting we are the best championship side theyve seen since coming back up .

Crazy times

 

[alexccfc99]

journey home was ridiculous. M3 and A34 all closed off - 52 miles of diversions.

Was you in the contraflow on the M27 which you couldn't exit before the exit needed to get on the M3? - We had to carry on past Rownhams services, come off and join the other side of the carraigeway - Never seen anything like it in my life

Then the A34 turn off was shut so had to carry on for a bit and I saw a signpost to Exeter at one point - Crazy journey home and as I said thank god we won else I would be in a foul mood today

I think Pompey and Fratton park will be a freind to us over the coming months.
I can see them taking points of our rivals down there.

Portsmouth fans saying Chaplin was rubbish. I thought he was their best player for most of the match. Anything dangerous came from him. Just not sure what position he was meant to play

Good player. It's a shame he was just that bit too young when we had him. A bit like Ayari was or Clarke-Harris looking back

 

[RegTheDonk]

id love to see a clip of this

 

[skyblueiom]

its in our hands now, win our remaining games and we go up...its that simple.

Love that the Portsmouth players start bouncing at the exact time he touches the glove

Bloody Don (Boring) Howe invented the long ball game! We got suckered into playing too long at times yesterday...

Even earlier than that, Charles Hughes in the late 1950's advocated long ball. He was derided for being a dinosaur, now he could be seen as prescient

 

[Terry_dactyl]

Yeah, a couple of my mates have said the same.

One also said we were the loudest fans he's ever seen at FP.

I haven’t caught up with the whole thread…did you make it after?

Definite tellw card that

 

[Skyblueweeman]

I haven’t caught up with the whole thread…did you make it after?

Did you mean, did I make it into the game?

Yes mate. Finally managed to get the wife to take a picture of the ticket and then it scanned fine through the turnstiles.

 

[Flying Fokker]

Can’t get on to Portsmouth board without registering so fuck that

They’re very complimentary concerning us. Their penalty shout is much debated as is the ‘foul’ by Simms before BTA scored.

One or two comments about the home fans being outsung by us..The stands looked half-empty when they scored.

Coventry players were very good at passing to orange shirts…unfortunately we were better.

Also. ‘I saw the Champions and fucked off home’ is a compliment if ever there was one.

 

[Speedie's Head]

Yes. I think Howe is from the same generation, England side in the 50s then with Bertie Mee at Arsenal. Notice Lampard still has the POMO doctrine ingrained.

It was a switch on the glove that made them bounce

Yeah it was a nightmare, i think i got to bed about 2am after dropping everyone off. What is it with this f**** country, same coming back from Millwall the other week having a 1 hour tour of St Albans because the M1 was closed.

M27, yes, we did the same.

The A34 closure was just a case of coming off at the slip road, round the island/ and take the slip road straight back on to the A34. Workmen on the bridge section above the roundabout.

 

[baldy]

yes same he looked a threat i thought, more so than the winger everyone was raving about

Fuck knows what that 'shot' was about though when he drove into the box near the end & blasted it out for a throw

 

[Terry_dactyl]

Yes mate. Finally managed to get the wife to take a picture of the ticket and then it scanned fine through the turnstiles.

Great! Was feeling a bit worried for you. I imagine of all the games, this was the one you didn’t want to miss.

 

[Mucca Mad Boys]

What a win! Deserved to be 3/4 total control for majority. Amazing times!

What a journey home, road system a disgrace! Big up to all fans for that

I got in at 1:30 and an annoying delay was works on the M27 that blocked the junction to come onto the M3! Seen lots of Cov fans in the service ahead so assuming I wasn’t only impacted.

Shit journeys home are manageable when we get 3 points. Imagine had we shit the bed and conceded in the last minute?!

Where's this mate?

He would really work for us these days TBF

Well one the biggest adherents to his philosophy was the last English man to win the league.

Surely it's Ohadji?

 

[shmmeee]

And you have stats to back this up ?

Yeah his xWhatsBehindMe is 0.78 per 90
And his average SIAMB (steaming in and missing the ball) is 99th percentile for his position.

It was mental wasn’t it. To the point I’m done midweek away !

I got home at 1, back up at 5:45 to go back to London

 

[Mucca Mad Boys]

It’s kinda ironic singing ‘city reject’ at him. He left us to go up a division and played a starring role for Ipswich in their promotion season.

100% agree that he’d be a great role player for us. He looked alright last night but we shut them down generally.

I was in that.

Waze recommended that journey which is the same one (more or less) from Southampton that I did in 23/24. To the game (from Slough) it recommended going via Petersfield and really should came back that way.

The contraflow added about 20-25m to my journey.
