3-1 to Saints. I've got a funny feeling about Barnard getting on the score sheet if he features. Can't see Saints repeating last week's dire match but I do expect a lively and spirited Portsmouth performance in the first half before we take control of the game. I don't feel Portsmouth will disgrace themselves but think Southampton will put in a good display following the recent, tense encounters in the last two home matches.
I four one do not feel we'll be able to keep up this sort of scoreline against stains for much longer. 0-0 scrappy affair will do me, with honour intact.
I can't see us winning, BUT hope upon hope for a repeat of the 1-1 draw from the match at F.P. Big Marko Futacs for us, and the Piemeister (if he is playing) for Saints
Well I think 1-1 is more likely than 0-0. I can't remember the last time we had a 0-0 scoreline. Maybe last season, certainly not this.
Home to Notts Couny. Early Jan 2011. Clearly Nigel wasn't impressed though, as we followed it up by winning every single home league game for the next 11 months.
In truth I think this will be either a comfortable Stripes win or a scrappy draw - anything else would be lovely but I doubt it - we can beat anyone on our day but also lose to anyone - so I'll say 3-1 or 1-1. PUP
My blue heart says we edge a scrappy match 1-0, head says otherwise though I am afraid we no longer have any players left of any real quality, or for that matter with loanees etc, the desire to win a derby, so the Scummers will probably edge it. But you never know footy is a funny old game!..........
SB3, have you got your matchday kit all packed and ready? Beer money? Vuvuzela? Empty bottle (for relieving oneself)? Saints song lyrics downloaded (so you can hum along discretely)? Camera (to capture the memories of a special day)?
Yep, I am all ready, I even have a Ginsters pastie to throw at Tubby. I am not bothering with an empty bottle though, thought I would just do a JPFCW....
