Only if it’s in the final. Imagine the exchange of pleasantries around the stadium afterwards.

If you could choose between winning the Cup in the next three years, or beating any premier league team anywhere 10-0 - which would it be? Yeah, I know it's the Cup. But 10-0 would be sweet, and shut them all up 👊

Yes indeed. I thought I'd stumbled on to a QAnon forum last night by mistake. Talking of wold conspiracies, maybe Big Al will come of the bench to score the winner in the cup final. Against Utd of course. After a foul by McTominey. Funny old game, football.

LOL at the people who think he did it deliberately to get sent off on purpose. Have a word. if we can keep it under 6 from here that’s a result. Regroup, get a few first teamers back, and go for it in the cup.

Lines on the departure of a club legend: So farewell then Shane Long. You scored after seven seconds Against Watford. That was awesome. And the away end Went mental.

Kayne Ramsey and Will Ferry come on down. I remember Ramsey being pretty decent when he was suddenly chucked in against Man City about three years ago. Was that his only appearance?

I know some people wanted him to erupt at the shit officials, but I thought Ralph was class in that response. And you can see how much he cared.

If even Roy Keane thinks we should have had a pen and a goal in injury time, that says it all. Dean and Mason were predictably shamefully atrocious and everything possible went against us. Just have to move on, accept it’s a mid-table season, and hope we keep the cup run going. Bollocks, really. COYR

Mate if you find us boring to watch, what the hell did you think of the Puel/Pellegrino years FFS? I’m enjoying watching us more then I have in years - we just can’t buy a goal at the moment and we need Ings to step up.

Totally agree. He's been immense this season, and if you can't see that I can't help you. The minutes on the pitch, the amount of ground covered, the consistency are all staggering. Not to mention of course the one aspect of his game in which we as a club have a genuinely world-class player - his free kicks. And he reached the landmark of 300 games last night. Keep it up Prowsey!

Exactly. He's probably pissed off because he's been off it tonight. Stuey's been carrying the front line.

On the bright side - Stuey's been on fire

Now you've gone too far. Kevin Danso returns?

🧐

Class reaction from Ralph to the Lampard sacking: "It’s not interesting what my reaction was, I have other issues in the moment to think about. It’s part of the business." Love this man.

God, most of you lot are a bunch of miserable bastards. 2-0, 4 teenage debuts, first teamers not too stretched, job done. Roll on the gooners.

Probably “His name is Kegs Chauke He really hates Pompey” clap clap clap clap

The Jam: “Wish I could be like Caleb Watts La la la la la, la la la” Anyone got a song for Kegs or N’lundulu?

LOL COYR!

Fancy us in this one. They’ve been stuttering recently and we’re due a goal.

Sums it up for me. Way off our best, but still unlucky. Hate the way VAR is slowly sucking the life out of celebrating a goal.

Should have won, but I'll take a point. Hopefully it gets Danny one game nearer full sharpness - we can all see he's just a little bit off it. Given that though, I was a bit surprised N'lundulu wasn't given 5-10 mins near the end to throw his weight around in the box. And i would have given Theo ten more mins to turn and run at them after the sending off.

If we end up top six I'll be over the moon brian.

Yeah but in three of our last four games we've been 4-0, 1-0 and 2-0 up and we've ended up 4-3, 1-1, and 2-3. So 7 goals scored and then 7 conceded. And my point is that if we've put things in place to improve it, they're not yet working very well. We work so hard off the ball that without subs we collectively run out of steam, and only Newcastle recently have been too crap to take advantage. Overall, not complaining at all. It's been a brilliant start to the season with Brighton and Sheff up next. But the main problem is obvious.

I wish they'd press him more on the late subs question though. Can't argue or compete with Cavani - just don't understand why he didn't start. But if we stopped pressing and dropped too much - which we could all see... why not bring on Diallo and maybe Obafemi earlier? Not saying they're world-beaters, but a couple of our front four were out on their feet after 70 mins. And that annoying 'most points dropped after taking the lead' stat that they always show after we score isn't made up. It's obviously a problem which we don't seem to be addressing. Is the only answer to buy three or four better players? Shouldn't we at least try earlier subs?
