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

Yes literally nothing to tell you what to do, no diversions -they just closed it. No evidence of any work being done on any of it either. The A34 thing was also crazy, and it would of been really easy to go the wrong way on the A303. Literally if they had popped an equaliser in the 99th minute of I would gone full on Jeremy Clarkson and started shouting at roadworks

He had pace but not many get the better of MVE in a foot race. Lost confidence as the game went on I thought

My view was that we just completely nullified Pompey. They only chalked up 0.76 xG from 17 shots. A defensive error from Kitching leads to their goal and it was a v good, composed finish.

Sorry I had to do this.....

All these from Lesta's board tonight :-

8 points behind Coventry. A fall-off like no other.

Imagine getting a text from your Father in Law saying “Mind the gap” about this too

Cov will go up with zero pressure from anyone unfortunately!

Coventry will have this wrapped up by March, who will be 2nd?

Coventry by bar the best side in the league. Got goals all over the pitch

Too right, bitches!!

Didn't think the JDS incident was a penalty. Blasted straight at him. The Woolf one looked more likely, although it looked like he was pushed. Thought we played better tonight than at Millwall. Apart from the glancing header in the first half, Pompey hardly created a thing until 2-0 down.
Simms led the line brilliantly, and Sakamoto teared them apart when he came on.

I did enjoy the old familiar nervous feeling in the last 5 mins thinking we could well drop 2 points. That’s the Cov I know and love!

Absolutely brilliant night. The Good Companion, recommended by @Skyblueweeman, was perfect for pre-match beers. Good, old-fashioned away end which was fitting for all the classic songs that were rolled out.

Stayed at a hotel nearby which was full of Cov fans; a group of us stayed up until gone 1 having a few beers then everyone was all smiles at breakfast - loved it.

Took an early train to London and after hearing ‘mind the gap’ on the tube I’ve been humming it all day!

Thing is, next top 6 side we meet is Stoke.
Even if we lose, it doesn't really prove much, we are going to drop points and away at a top 6 side is where its most likely to happen.

That won't detract from how well we've started as far as I'm concerned

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

I know, right?! I was outside the Shepperds Crook with a Pompey mate having a beer and I suddenly thought 'f*&k...I've left my ticket at home' and my heart sank! I thought that it would take 15 mins to get back to my car, 10 mins to get him and likely another 30 mins back as the Eastern Road was manic.

My mate said to ask a some Cov fans stood near us if the tickets had a QR code or barcode and someone who turned out to be @JohnWH showed me his ticket with the barcode. Which is when I thought, I need to get the wife to take a pic and send it.

All sorted.

Thankfully for this weekend vs Watford, I've got them all as e-tickets on my phone. Just need to take my charger in the car!!

Ha ha, didn't know it was @JohnWH at the time...he only identified himself after I posted about it on here and I'm sure he wasn't aware it was me either!

Hopefully you're feeling better for Saturday...race you up the M27, M3, A34 and M40

I'm happy to take credit.

Someone's impersonating me though I'm afraid.

I can't bilocate like the biblical prophets, and be both here in the USA as well as over there simultaneously.

Don't you just love ITV EFL highlights show, started the show with the Sheffield Wednesday v Middlesbrough game, normally they start with the teams at the top of the league, but guess what we're top of the league and we get shown at the end of the program.

And at the end of the show they said they are going to start with the Middlesbrough v Wrexham game at the weekend.

However, he also was here in the USA at the time.

Conceding probably wasn’t a bad thing in hindsight. Need to stay on our toes, away end and players perhaps a bit complacent at 2-0.

Just seen a stat at that Callum Lang of Portsmouth has scored 10% of all the goals we've conceded since FL took over last year. Mental!
