Agreed.
The fact that we won there this season means unless its a really important game (promotion/relegation) there is no need to go back there. In fact I WONT. Because its SHIT. EVERYTHING about Pompey is SHIT.
Even their fans were quiet and that f***ing bell was as well.
Whilst at Withers/Gillham
But Notters is correct it was Weds because the dog track round the corner from the Goldstone did a greyhound meet on Tues eves.
This.
Hell I would even take a Wrexham win.
NOTHING absolutely NOTHING must take the players or Gus attention away from THE most important game this season now. The only consolation is that this game will be done and dusted by the time we play those bastards.
Also Palace have their own 2nd...
Funny thing is I think most of us would agree that when Palace beat us we acknowledged that we was beaten by the better team on the day.
Yes it f***ing hurt like hell (still does) but Palace deserved their win.
Its not so difficult just admitting that the better team (on the day) won.
I cant believe Soton are getting MORE votes than Soton. If anything Pompey is that *little bit* closer to us and thats despite all the CHEATING over the years.
A good question.
I dont like Pompey but thats more for what the various owners have done over the years as opposed to being a rival.
Southampton were not on the radar EVER but thats because we were shit and they were in the Prem. Tho I was too young to remember the stitch up between themselves...
Exactly. I can only think of the Cov chance and the couplwe against Reading and Burnley at the death that he should have maybe done better.
But other than that the poor sod has had to almost cross it then get on the end of it himself while Gus plays his negative tactics.
A BILLION percent this.
I would be mightily pissed off after having the promise of a team built around me then stuck up front on my own for MOST games this season while the Uruguay 86 tactics kick in behind me.
Of course its now shaping up to be whatever happens NEXT season.
Three nil but could have been 10
However Boyd was sent off early doors so it was a v v good perf but against 10 men. So Charlton was better in that it was 11 v 11
HOWEVER
Bearing in mind the step up in division and the opposition the BEST* I have ever seen us play was Cardiff this season...
Im not so sure. The terracing is still there PLUS its only 40 mins from London KX and only a couple of hrs drive (traffic permitting)
Also the Palace points requirement will sway people to buy to beef up their points tally.
Indeed, if you are way off the requirement for Palace then Peterboro...
Its entirely possible.
I just hope that we finish ABOVE them overall.
I cannot even CONTEMPLATE them beating Cardiff in the semi's.
Tho any Palace fan would say staying up comfortably, beating us twice and Man Utd at Old Trafford - thats a bloody good season. If the roles were reversed then...
