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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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
Click to expand...
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?!

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.
