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

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

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

Where's this mate?

Saw this on X.

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.

I had the same issues but thankfully I live in Oxfordshire- hope there were no more problems after that otherwise that would have been a very late night for all those travelling back to C&W

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!!

" Mind the Gap" brilliant.

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.

 

[Tommo1993]

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!

 

[CovValleyBoy]

Yes all fam & friends going early with we got this done. Unfortunately I felt different till 99th minute. Scarred for Life. Love you City.

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!

 

[Yank]

Do you live in PA?

Nah in North Carolina, but a local museum had a lot of Civil War stuff.

The great thing is that, with the way we are playing at the moment, we can ease him back in. No need to rush him into the team when he is only half fit.

Is he back on the grass yet?

 

[blunted]

Just put Sky on, pundits are luading arsenal for starting the direct revolution,can you seriously!

Bournemouth and Newcastle did it last season.

Maybe a cheeky loan from Spurs in Jan along with Chaplin from Ipswich. No 30 page replies please.

Nice one, glad you enjoyed it. It's a decent boozer.

Some of you know about the Pre match hype. Ref grim reaper.

 

[Lamps]

The commentators yesterday wondered how we’d do against a ‘good’ side.

Not easy when we can't play against ourselves.

 

[Lamps]

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

Lose to Stoke? Go wash your mouth out with soap
