I’d just like to say a word about Wellington. Given he’s hardly played for what, 2 months? I thought he was fantastic today. Such a shame he had to come off.

Remember there are 9 named subs in the FA Cup so regardless of Capt Jack’s fitness Quarshie is bound to feature in the matchday squad.

He’s got a job back with the club so you would hope he’d learn and keep some of his views to himself…….but no ! FFS Matt

Given what Steve said they are even starting life in League 1 on the back foot, maybe not minus points like us but unless someone comes in and buys them which I guess would be the best outcome for the fans, those in charge have to make some bloody difficult decisions and get them right.

Not at all no.

While Downes missing is a major blow the one consolation is it is the position where we have the best options as cover with 2 out of Jander, Charles and Bragg to start. Hell you could even throw Romeu in as cover for the cover 😂

Yes I would think either he or the club has looked at the bigger picture on this one.

I think he'll play Charles or Bragg. Fellows will start and I think Stewart will as well.

So bookings in Cup or League dont count in the other competition but a 3 game ban for a League match now counts in the FA Cup then........WTF ?

I thought Middlesbrough would score enough to overtake us tonight. In the playoffs am I right in thinking it’s 3rd v 6th and 4th v 5th?

I see Spurs are advertising for a psychologist. Umm sounds familiar. So apart from the giant cock on the top of their stadium is there anything that’s original about bloody Tottenham?

I wonder where we would be if he'd stayed and the experiment had continued.......15th/16th ?

I agree, but I'm not Tonda and he's been doing pretty well doing things his way 🙂

I kind of agree with you to be honest although I wouldnt call it a giant distraction, its a big deal for the club. I think if we drop points tomorrow night and Ipswich and Millwall win their mid-week games second place looks extremely unlikely so we would then be looking to protect that 4th place if we want to play the second leg at home. I'm not sure it would bother Tonda whichever way around it works out. If that was the case we can go strongest possible against City. If we are still in a position where beating Ipswich means its still all to play for regarding 2nd then the call for the manager is much harder.

I reckon you should look back and see how many turned up in the old Division 3 days.

Not if they beat Arsenal they won’t. Pep wants the league, he won’t heavily rotate if it’s in their own hands.

Oooh !!

Yep, in the same way a proper goalkeeper and an old fashioned centre forward can !

I’d be willing to bet my mortgage on Bournemouth not going for the Ipswich manager.

Ah yes, my mistake. Drury is still a twat tho

Peter Drury, Pompey fan and Grade A twat

We’ve done a real job on Wrexham haven’t we? They look fkin awful today and fair play to Birmingham who have nothing to play for.

Jander had his best game for ages. Downes has been back to his best for some time now so all those illness issues seem to be behind him. Larin has surprised me the last two or three games. He looked for all the world like a player you just wanted in the area to get on the end of crosses but no, he can play a bit, he’s got some pace about him as well. He’s obviously been working on fitness quite a bit since he’s been here.

No I don’t think all season ticket holders will go. If I buy for the same block I was in for the play off final it will cost me £45 more, for a semi final ffs !!! I mean the final, yeah, I get that cos it’s their premier knock out competition but not a bloody semi final that for years was played at a neutral league ground.

Totally agree and every passing week's improvement in Saints has really underlined that.
