Fooball? Oh my days, we're in for a drubbing

Maybe their crest should be changed to an inverted smile?

Portsmouth FC History : Colours and Crest

No moaning please. I have still got the "lurgy" and I am only doing this because I can't get to sleep. I bunged in **** as it could conceivably be the last time we play Portsmouth for awhile. They will probably be relegated rather than going bust.

I could not find the Score Predictor, which I have not filled in this week, as I have no idea what frame of mind Portsmouth will turn up in, supporters and players.



Team For Portsmouth

Head-to-head
• In the overall standings Brighton lead Portsmouth by 17 wins to 15 from 42 engagements. Of those, 35 have been league games, in which Pompey have won 13 and lost 12.
• The Seagulls are vying for a third successive win over Portsmouth in league and cup, and their first league double over them since 1922, when they won both fixtures on Christmas Day and Boxing Day with a 9-2 aggregate score.
• Portsmouth's last victory on Brighton turf was on 31 March 1986, by the odd goal in five.

Brighton
• Wednesday's 2-2 home draw with Cardiff took Brighton's unbeaten league sequence to 11 games, and means that only goal difference is keeping them out of the play-offs.
• The Seagulls remain the only undefeated club in the top four divisions in 2012. They have won six and drawn five league games since ending the last calendar year on a four-match losing streak.
• All but two of their nine home league victories have been against bottom 10 clubs.

Portsmouth
• The beleaguered south coast club are bottom of the table, six points from safety and without a win in seven games. They have lost the last two, picked up two points out of 21, and scored just two goals since beating Peterborough on 28 January.
• Portsmouth will be making a third attempt to recapture the 2,000 all-time second level league points they had on 2 January, before the 10-point deduction for entering into administration.
• Pompey have lost 12 Championship games by a single goal this season; only Coventry beat that with 13 defeats by the slenderest margin.

Remember that one well. My Dad decided to take Mum to the football as it was their 20th wedding anniversary! Very lively outside the stadium.

• Pompey have lost 12 Championship games by a single goal this season; only Coventry beat that with 13 defeats by the slenderest margin.

which is why I have gone for 1-0 on the prediction thread.

Who gives a f***? He doesn't have a 76% winning strike rate, more like 35%!!!

 

[Notters]

Pretty sure mine is higher than that...

Anyway, Mike Dean; I missed all this controversy about him allegedly celebrating tottenham's goal last week. Doesn't look like it to me:

Hoping for a Brighton win here so we can relegate the ***** as St. Mary's on the 7th.

 

[tubaman]

We've made really hard work of playing the other teams at the bottom of the league. I'm desperately hoping for something more convincing today. A win by 3 goals will do nicely.
