70's Mike

did Pearce not play full back that day and Matt Mills Centre back

but not Mr Allen

Slowly becoming a legend, never thought i would see another Saints manager after Lawrie Mac know ow to motivate players and FANS

7 pages about West Ham only 4 about our game today ??????

speaking to a guy, who used to play football at a decent level a good few years ago, before game today and his opinion was we played ok Saturday just got done by 2 once in a careeer strikes. made be feel even more confident about today and rest of season

your answer will not be accepted by those who want to blame the support for what happened at the end.

was good Andy, tried to explain to my lads what it was like at Luton in 78. I know allseaters been better control over trouble makers but it does limit numbers. Sure we could have taken more than 6000 today but fair play to Palace they did try to maximise their income by giving us 6000.

so good posted twice only bottlers are the internet warriors

Just got in after a drive down the A3 Dominated after the first 20 mins, 2 good goals against a Palace side who played like the season was over. Great Support then read this thread and see the doom merchants are at it, Alpine saying Reading will regain initiative on Friday , good job he lives abroad Me i am looking forward to the party but we need the 6000 JCL's to hold their nerve Friday

i have always moaned about the Echo but that piece proves you get the paper that mirrors your City. Portsmouth a city full of inbred idiots shame Mr Allen did not sit on a bubble bus when we visit his lovely city with all its well behaved people Knob

last sentence sums it up for me i have lots of admiration for those who have to listen to Merrington and co.

heading out in a few hours once i get the two lads out of bed. nervous yes a little bit just like i was at Luton many years ago or Orient, twice, for that matter but the nerves will be over come and this 58 year old man is ready to give his all frpm the terraces and really hope i do not have to read any threads tomorrow moaning about the support

that was their horses pulling the caravans

i would just urge my fellow 5999 travelers to be patient 0-1 will do hardest thing for me will be keeping eldest lad (23) patient, gets on my and his brother's nerves some time

then we could have one called Derby Days you Knew

agreed it is easy to blame the support sit in block 20 with a lot of other old boys and the support home and away is as good as it has ever been to many see things through rose coloured specs the dell was unique in its later years but you need to remember there was only 1500 away fans for league games.

agreed looks like it is up to us old boys to hold our nerve lots of this lot would have topped theirselves diring the last 7 minutes in 76

agreed i was answering Alpine's 12000 negative post

agreed its not finished yet so why act like it is giving up now is not an option

and what could we do different act like the skates did at fratton

I think we will need to win 4 out of 5

but only against us and a lot easier to get 16000 singing together than 29000

exactly

agree with first two points but living here in border country no way have they bragging rights we are still top they are being cut a drift never admit they have bragging rights

how many grounds have you been to where that happens consistently?
