I'll be there. Stock photos of the Portmouth IBIS to follow in due course.

Out and about today so not followed the game, thus a draw is a decent result on the surface. At least it gives the mods further chance to turn a blind eye to the next "XXX days since a win against the top 6" post...

Shambles!

Mods - this post seems far too pragmatic for my liking and thus probably breaks several forum rules. Grateful if you could deal with it swiftly. Cheers

That's sub-intellectual on two counts: (a) that goal was scored by a football club that doesn't exist any more and (b) the ensuing result amounted to a dropping of 2 points which contributed to them being relegated that season, and gave their rivals a point which contributed to them being promoted. Celebrating a goal for another club that, in the context of the season, did nothing to stop them being condemned to 3rd division football until their demise, is certifiable behaviour. #tinpot P.s. so, if I were you, I'd send your 'friends' a video of the whole game with a message along the lines of: "here's a video of one of my favourite games. The result helped us get promoted and helped relegate the previous football club that played at Fratton Park". You're welcome

What percentage of our academy players play above their natural age group and how does this compare to other academies?

If only people didn't take the bait...

This. Can't think of a better way of articulating the intellect of people on this thread. Bravo aintforever.

This. I tend to raise myself above the usual tinpot level of Pompey hyperbole. Apologies in advance for being more intellectual than your average football 'fan'...

People over-reacting and posting self-opinionated hyperbole on an internet football forum...? Nah... Can never see that happening...

Stats may prove me wrong (?), but when we played the same card with Van Dijk he (indirectly) refused to play ball...?

What about those fans that pontificate on internet football forums...?

Bugger

You'd have thought so, but his ommission from the squad Vs Fulham doesn't tally with Ralph believing he's "ready"? Would surely have been the ideal opportunity to give him game time with the senior squad?

So, what are your sabotage opportunities for this game then...? Laxative in the pre-match lasagne?

So, two "derbies" in one week then...

Assume the club will give ticket priority to those that went to Craven Cottage last night rather than season ticket holders who couldn't be arsed to go yesterday...?

First time we get to face the current football club that plays at Fratton Park. Wonder how they'll compare to the previous club that played there?

Yawn

To be fair, it was played slightly behind him

It'll be the usual
