Yeah you're right, just keep him away from this game completely, now is time for tried and tested in Maya.
If Boufal plays I expect it will go one of two ways 1. He will excel and have Pompey players on toast 2. He will be completely bullied out of the game and have very little impact
Had a dream a couple of days ago that we conceded early on and then equalized just before half time. I woke up before the second half began. **** that, I don't want any of that conceding goals business. I still look at that Lambert equalizer in the 1-4 game in the cup as a great moment, and I don't want there to be any redeeming factors or memories for Pompey from this game.
No Djenepo, potentially no Redmond and even the dodgey weather is going Pompeys way. I don’t like the way this is heading. Our boys need to be up for the battle here, because that’s what it’s going to be.
Oriol & PEH in the middle makes me feel more comfortable. Need to stand up and be counted, and those guys won't disappoint.
I am glad I will never have to be in a trench with you ****ing lot. You would be waving the white flag before the battle even starts.
I've had my wobble and am back to praying to the postal gods now. We'll ****ing smash 'em, Shane Long to cement legend status.
Find any excuse to stay where you are St.B. And twisting your ankle won't be good enough. I fell down a few steps on the way to the loo in th middle of the last night of a SoFrance holiday, and sprained both ankles and my right wrist. And I still had to return, dammit. And why didn't I take up the offer to service motorbikes during a summer in Crete? What an idiot I was.
I feel very nervous about this one. Excited, but nervous. Don't think I'd be feeling the nerves as much if the game wasn't at Fratton!
Sounds silly to say but it's weather that's got my nerves going a bit. All I can think about is Cardiff and Burnley. We need to be absolutely on it from the first whistle tomorrow, don't give them any initiative to whip the crowd up even more. Any early goal or two would be perfect.
I landed in Barcelona this afternoon. I'm sure I'll find a bar showing the game but just wondered if any of our jet set posters could give me a first hand recommendation.
