Back him. The squad he’s been given is a ****ing joke. Trying to do something with both hands tied behind his back

People think it’d be like Adkins again, but more likely it’d be like Wotte. We’re only heading one way under this leadership though so it doesn’t really matter ultimately. Wouldn’t be sad to see the back of 95% of this awful squad though.

Very strong looking Chelsea team. Don’t worry though, we have Long.

Doesn’t quite have the same effect when the penalty has been given before you’d posted.

Mooy is a decent player, he’d have done well for us. Would certainly offer more then the likes of Armstrong.

Still have nightmares about the home game with them under Hughes where we threw away a lead. Skate nugget Mount is bound to score. We’ll huff and puff but ultimately lack quality at both ends.

Why would he have with Bertrand in the team?

I’m slightly torn. I still think he’s the best manager we’ve had since Koeman, and a team in our position couldn’t really hope for much better. We’ve also had a really rough start, Liverpool, United, Spurs and now Chelsea in our opening 8 games. Then again, he seems to regularly fall out with players and some of his recent tactical/positional ideas are questionable at best. I’m still very much a fan at the moment though.

Just felt like another soulless corporate plaything to be honest, I wasn’t THAT impressed.

Fair enough, I haven’t seen it again but didn’t look like it live.

It didn’t take a deflection and went right through him. I was right behind it, should have been a comfortable save.

About 200 without tickets got in by all accounts! Certainly more then packed in that away end. Top atmosphere too from everyone. There were some great stories too, particularly one lad who waded in (and didn’t get a scratch) before the game and lost both his shoes in the carnage. Walked around with trench foot for the rest of the night Every single Portsmyth has been shattered, they are genuinely humiliated and don’t know what to do with themselves. Fantastic.

Oh well

I hope people realise the significance of last night. Saints fans that haven't even been born yet will be talking about this result in 30/40 years, much like we do with Moran, and saying how they wished they could have been there. Those of us lucky enough to be there will never forget it.

Looks like you’ve come here 4 nothing. So **** off.

The greatest night of my life.

Well the 6.10 will struggle to make half time as predicted

Keep calm lads, this is it. Don’t let us down.

Rain has already stopped in Bournemouth, due to dry up from Midday in Portsmouth. Absolutely no way they’ll postpone it.

I’m actually glad we have a PL referee in charge.

Their captain has a late fitness test apparently. Whoever that is! And they’re without some guy who was sent off at the weekend.

Anyone else absolutely buzzing?! This is what it’s all about lads, this is why we bother. Roll on tomorrow. Anyone saying any other game is more important - give your head a wobble.

Only looks bad for the morning, should be dried up by 4pm by all accounts.
