That's nice. I was at the football.

First time I've ever heard someone living in beautiful Blackfield a townie!

I imagine their excuse would be that they can't trust Royal Mail to get them out in time, what with the bank holidays etc. Don't see why they couldn't be collected at Brighton though.

I'm still trying to workout when their support became so happy clappy? It was the least intimidating away game of the season, by some way. Neither of us were great, pretty similar to the match really.

He did have a mare, but I couldn't bring myself to criticise him at the game because he was in red and white, and for me today that was all that mattered. Our lads got enough sh*t of their pikey ****s, without us lot adding to it, no matter how deserved it was. Each to their own, just my opinion.

It had actually gained something, and that was the bubble. It will ensure all future derby games are as dull as dishwater.

Jos was superb today, that ginge didn't get a kick. Mentions to Hammond, Cork (who had a right rough time of it first half) and Lambert.

Maybe we can blame the middle then!

Plenty of lads over on the left today too.

The funniest moment of the day was when their fans kept the ball when we were 1-0 up. Just about sums them up.

It did work annoyingly well. I fully expect this to be the norm now, which will make Pompey away the 2nd safest away day after Millwall.

Thought our support was decent today. They were embarrassing though.

Whatever happened to the supposed electic atmosphere at FP. I thought their fans were pretty pathetic all game.

The celebration after our goal will live with me for a long time, just brilliant scenes. I'm proud of us today, we didn't bottle it and that's all I asked for. We should have won though, they were terrible, really terrible.

They really are determined to ruin our day completely. Working in our best interests? Are they f*ck.

I'd say those 3pm Prem fixtures are the worst set to be played together at any time in its history. That league could do with getting rid of a few noddy clubs.

Boro now winning

Brighton losing, the first of many hopefully!

The advert for "fish dating" was shown at the top of this thread when I viewed it before signing in. A sign that the skates are running scared and trying to take apeek at our board.

I'd play Kelvin even at 70% fit. If Bart plays we'll lose as I'd fully expect him to make mistakes. That's not getting on his back, just stating opinion as to how he'll react to Fratton Park.

That also confirms there are 41 coaches making the trip. An average of 70 would suggest we are taking around 2800. Although if it's an average nearer 75 per bus and it'd be over 3000. I personally don't believe all these stories that the away end will be half empty etc.

For anyone still wondering, the ticket office will 100% be open for collections on Sunday, and people can also collect from Winchester and Bursledon. http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/page/TicketNews/0,,10280~2547734,00.html

You sold your Pompey away ticket for a poxy £40 profit? You are either extremely hard up, or, as i suspect, being economical with the truth not for the first time!

Great account of the last few year, Papa Shango. At 23, I can relate to every word, and by the looks of things that's the same for anyone aged about 20-30.
