If we win our games all this is irrelevant. Poor old Portsmouth are two down already :(.

Against a team who are already down, essentially. And we can't beat them at our place when we're vying for promotion. I've realised after thirty six years that I actually follow a game I do not understand. Can anyone enlighten me?

It's a derby. Form goes out the window.

Would suck to have gone all the way to Doncaster. The game's over within the first 5 minutes.

At least the inevitable will not be delayed PL. You might find you play the last few games with a bit more freedom.
 
Does anyone feel that Southampton are the only team now with any real pressure on them? A pressure sandwich, if you like. Is it just because I support them, or is it actually true?

Anyway, like a few others, I'd assumed a West Ham win here anyway. It's about how we respond - and those 90 away minutes are going to be potentially extremely painful.

Imagine Vaz Te gets four hat-tricks and Rickie's Golden Boot starts looking threatened too! <laugh>

Well, I understand that part. But let's say we played Gosport Town up at SMS. We would be expected to batter them. It would still be a derby, though. Portsmouth extremely weakened squad, battered confidence, almost nothing to play for - if we can't beat them then, I'm not sure we ever can.
 
Have merged the two threads - didn't see much sense in discussing today's matches over two seperate ones.

Sod Pompey by the way, Burnley and Bristol City both scoring suddenly has put Coventry 7 points adrift with 9 left. Every chance they'll be down come the final day, if scores stay the same. Much more important than Pompey's fate.
 
Earlier this week, I said that the worst case scenario for whoever lost Friday night and Wst Ham win, is being three points ahead with three to play. Still about us getting 7 points.
 
Bristol City gone one up. Thats another nail in Pompeys coffin but enough of them. Brum lose this one and they may need to beat Reading to get into the playoffs and as Coventry are losing maybe they won't be fighting for thier lives when they come to us.

Er think I am reading too much into everything now....

To be pedantic... Saints just need to win 2 games and draw one!
 
Seven points out of nine is actually a pretty tough target - one we could easily do under no pressure. But a lot is all about psychology and mental strength now, dealing with home fans screaming 'bottlers' at you for 90 minutes.
West Ham will be on a wave of optimism that I believe should take them to a similar points tally over their next three. I believe that if we were playing concurrently, West Ham would not be three up. Badly need Leicester to win today to keep their play-off hopes alive. Perhaps Brighton will take out V-T (nothing serious - a light haircut injury that keeps him out for three games or similar).

Every other result is going our way today apart from the most important one

Leicester losing isn't going our way. West Ham still need to go to their place, so we really need them to stay in the play-off race.
