Pompey vs Saints - Sunday 1200

[die Mannyschaft]

Need a lot of luck tomorrow. Hopefully Saints can put a decent performance in taking chances will be key. We can create but terrible at shooting. More shots on spec and edge box, ping some shots in get reflections, second balls in box. Stewart up front gives us an option otherwise its been easy for defenders. We are still under dogs by some ways, disregard the £47m players and £150m team. Its on the day. At least we won v Sheffield United. Skate fans think its in the bag from home game and our awful football so could play into our game, if we have a plan. All the talk if Fratton atmosphere,  thier apparently big support, team unlucky with injuries otherwise it would be a nailed on win. Saints just need to turn up and play attacking football we have seen before.

Jack Stephens to get 92nd winner! I would 2 goals first half to settle us.

The Scum Army were established in 1885? So that makes them 141 years old? That's gotta be the oldest youth mob around, no wonder they don't run

There is a separate coach for over 100s with zimmer games and care co recliner seats.

That’s nothing the fearsome 657 crew have got a 300 year old lad. 
 

And a 3 month old. He’s already been down the pub to talk about the football.

Food stealing is definitely true, this lady confirms it 

 

Yeah, who are we to argue with the 'history of stuff'?

I was never brought up to hate Portsmouth. Before and after the war my uncles used to cycle regularly from Southampton to Fratton Park to watch division one games. I was pretty ambivalent about them. And then I went to the cup game in 84. Front row seat in the stand above the home terrace, separated by a matter of feet. I was pelted with coins and came home covered in spit and bananas. That changed my opinion radically. The way I explain the difference between us to people who don't understand is that someone could wear a Pompey shirt in Southampton with relatively safety. Walk around Southsea in a Saints shirt and you wouldn't last five minutes.

I think that last bit is bollocks personally and arguably another part of their myth that they care more.

I used to use the hovercraft there a fair bit as well as take my nipper to the pier and regularly saw people showing their Saints allegiances.

Any idea if we can drink when waiting for the coaches / will bars be serving at the ground?

Not heard anything around the actual day yet

Food and drink available in the ground.

Not much else to do if we're getting there at 9am!!
