Interesting point you raise tbf. Imagine signing up to serve your country, and then being sent across the border to kill people from a country that haven’t actually done any wrong, don’t want a war, and frankly don’t want to kill either. Genuinely it must be a massive strain on the Russians mentally. Don’t get me wrong I’m not feeling sorry for them in anyway, but this isn’t some war where there’s very clear sides fighting it out, you only need to look at the civilian protests in Moscow and the likes to see that nobody bar Putin and his top generals actually want this. Surely the effect the war has on the economy in the west will eventually start proving detrimental to the Far East. At what point does Putin’s mate in China speak out and say enough is enough Vlad, stop this shit now. I’d imagine Jinping is the only other world leader he’d actually listen to.

Noticed Derby County are still playing tonight, despite the possible buyers missing the deadline with the administrators. Anyone been keeping up to date with them who can explain what’s been going on?

Although other results mean they’re a point worse off then before kickoff if they were hoping for a play off spot 🤣

At least we don’t mention Pompey I guess, makes a change!

Follow, follow, follow we’ve got the best team on the south coast, we wear red and white we’re fucking dynamite and we’ve got Livramento. Good atmosphere in the ground tonight, amazing what a good run of form does to the overall mood.

Couldn’t help but read this to the tune of ‘We didn’t start the fire’ by Billy Joel.

This isn’t just the odd seat here and there though, it’s whole rows or little random blocks dotted about the itchen and northam. It’s been like it a lot this season, can’t be that many season ticket holders in close proximity to each other not turning up

Another “sell-out” where loads of empty seats are still visible strangely.

Well spotted that man.

I used to listen to the commentary on Power Fm towards the end of the millennium, by then it was Peter Hood and David Armstrong as the commentary pairing. Not sure of his allegiances but Hood used to go mental when we’d score sometimes, his commentary of the Le Tiss final goal still gives me goosebumps. I was at the game that day so my mum recorded it for me on cassette and I listened to it back when I got home. Not quite over 40 yet (36) but some of these memories on here still ring true with me. Watching the scores come in on the tv’s in the Granada window down by McDonalds, and of course The Pink. After a match once I’d got out of The Dell on a Saturday, I’d walk home to Bitterne Park which took about an hour, get an Andy’s chippy from the Triangle, and the pink would have just arrived at Forbuoys. As mentioned before it’s crazy in a relatively pre internet age to have the write up of the game you were just at available an hour or so after the full time whistle.

For the first time in my life I’m confident that we’re going to go to Old Trafford and not lose. Probably finish 3-0 but hey it’s nice not to feel a huge cloud of dread for once.

f**king hell what a list. Can honestly say there’s not one name on that list I’d want as our next manager

As others have said they used to get a bit of Block 41 and the rest of the Northam. I was lucky enough that for the big cup games when teams got the full 15% I never had to move from my seat in Block 41, but I would end up about 3 seats from the away fans. The noise we made in the Pompey FA cup games, or the 2003 run show how stupid it is of the club to hand over that noise advantage to the away fans. Bit of a ropey screen grab but this shows what SMS looked like with 15% Skates in 2009.

Absolute f**king joke, giving the whole of the Northam away again when we don’t need to. It’ll sound like the Boleyn now.

Son on the bench, dunno why I just think he’s a horrible little prick. Managed by Conte.

James Ward Prowse by the way, what a f**king machine that lad is.

I too would have snapped your hand off for 2 points from Spurs and this, so to already have 3 is a welcome bonus. Given their recent form I’ve got no doubt whatsoever that we come home with at least a point, especially if the team have the wind in their sails from tonight.

Love it!! Get the f**k in. No less than we deserved, come on!! f**k you Conte you Hoggle from Labyrinth looking mother fucker.

Hahaha yes!! f**k you spurs!!!

f**king yes!!!!! Yes yes yes!! Av it! f**k you spurs cunts

Don’t know how that isn’t bought back for a foul with VAR. cunts. f**king hate Son, and Conte, the pricks

It’s coming isn’t it…

Battering Spurs in their own back yard but the scoreline tells a different tale. Come of lads don’t let us down keep this level up in the second half and the goals will come.

f**king hell!!! How many chances!!! we’re going to regret these in the second half you just know it

How’s he missed that
