Well I suppose the only way you were ever going to be able to beat us was by being two divisions higher than us.
I couldn’t care less if we were 40 divisions above you. I would still hope we smash you and would still intend to gloat if we did.
It's not our fault you're still in League One. This is your ninth season out of the Premier League. We bounced back up in seven, even with administration, points deductions, and League One all thrown in.
Let's face it, there's absolutely no pressure on Pompey for this one, just like when we were in League One and played them in the FA Cup. All the pressure is on Saints, and Ralph is going to have to really understand the significance of the occasion and select the right players for this. My fear is someone like Djenepo might do something crazy, like his flying elbow against Brighton, and get sent off. Much rather see Armstrong play for this one. Also, youngsters could get easily overwhelmed by the crowd. Dropping Valery is an excellent shout, and I'd say the same for Danso. Adams will know what it's all about from the Brum vs Villa derbies.
Hope our players understand how special the tie is. They don't come around too often anymore, and you can be propelled into legend status with the scoring of one goal. And that goes both ways.
Nah, at 0-0. Face a barrage and then have Steve Moran pop up at the far post for the winner in the last minute!
I knew Ralph would understand. He deserves this opportunity. You wouldn't say that about the previous three gaffers.
True but we didn't have a billionaire bankrolling us. This is only our second season with a billionaire owner and he's not exactly splashing the cash.
