There was definitely a timed cut off because as you can't just apply it if you are going down anyway because then it isn't a punishment. And we took the piss with the Southampton Leisure Holdings vs Southampton FC bullshit as well so didn't have a huge amount of moral high ground.

The last team in the top four divisions to win 10 games in a row was Port Vale in L2 in the autumn of 2024. It feels right now that we can win every game, sure, but it would have felt like that for lots of other clubs who also haven't won 10 in a row. Which is all of them including Arsenal and Coventry and Lincoln and so on. If we do it, lovely, will be astonishing. But incredibly; incredibly rare.

Well, still no. We can beat them. They can lose another game. And they can still get to 84 points. We can only get to 84 by winning all 4 including beating Ipswich. We could do that and still finish third behind Ipswich on goal difference. I hope we can win 10 games in a row but I don't see it. The pressure changes as chaser gets closer to the prize.

Yes I am aware we play Ipswich. I just don't think we will go into that game on 8 wins in a row, and finish the season 10 wins in a row. If we do it tear down Ted Bates and stick Tonda up there.

I think we still need to win all four games to finish second (84 points, Ipswich can lose two more and still get that). Despite this amazing run I still don't think we are going to do it.

Manchester City we're coming for you

Just saying

Taylor Harwood-Bellis. Sensational.

Called it

Archer is going to score.

Had a feeling he would go Larin/Archer. Could work

It's more than a week before so doesn't really make any difference. It didn't stop us beating Leeds for example.

Some of the social media stuff can be a bit cringe but I liked this

Feels like fourth is there for the taking now. Win on Tuesday and we're there. Difficult to imagine wed let go of it once we're up there. Third would be nice but not sure it makes that much difference (we just want to be home second leg). Playing Ipswich when they are on the beach will be helpful.

They were doing better before he arrived (2 x 2nd place, 1 x 5th and 2 x 7th in 6 seasons. He got them 8th) so only appropriate they do better after he left.

Youre writing that as if we weren't in the Premier League when they bought us in the first place. They're not doing us some massive favour by having a five year plan to be in the Premier League.

We will.

Ok thats bad

Where are you going to? Just bought my train ticket leaving London 22:15 (got a super off peak just in case). Even if it goes to pens its over before 9 surely

Tonda Eckert ooooh-oh Tonda Eckert ooooh-oh He assistant managed Barnsley He fuck-ing hates Pompey

This is the realistic aim to go for.

Both games are down as that. Neither will be played then.

Of course you do.

36,000 tickets or so so will be fine down to members and then a bit of a scramble for general sale at the end.

I dread to think how many Chinese millions we have let go due to our suicidal short sighted decision not to have a fully red kit.
