Match Day Thread Portsmouth v Sunderland – Saturday 2nd October 2021 - KO 15:00

Who the **** are Portsmouth?

 

The 'red' stuff lasts for miles and miles doest it? You should get to Pompey and back on a couple of pints of that stuff.

 

I can accept that, I was at Palace, Grimsby, Sunderland, etc, when games were called off ...

... that's just part of life, not being able to go out on a weekend after graft, is just wrong.

 

Everyone needs a 'release' from the uncle knobhead gaffer who thinks he knows best, but in actual fact, knows **** all about anything, anytime, anywhere. Apologies, I was ranting about my particular situation.

 

Tough place to go and get a result tomorrow. Not going to win 5 - 0 every game so I will take the win in the last minute with the ball going in off someone's ass. If we are not playing well then get the point and we move on. Good guide tomorrow to show how professional we can be and grind a result out. 1 - 0 to the lads....

 

I'd take a point tbh. Know they've had a bad start but they do have a decent squad and we don't have a great record there. They'll be well up for this, more than any other game they'll play. They'll look at this to kick-start their season. And I'd be lying if I said Wright doesn't worry me if he plays. Saying that hope we hammer them.

 

It’s very rare I’d be happy with a point in any L1 fixture but I’d be fine with a draw today. Keeps us top going into that international break and the unbeaten run carries on. It’s definitely a game we can win, though. Ha’way

 

Im nervous but still confident we are good enough to win. I would think they will be feeling the pressure more. At home - in a mini slump - playing a big rival for League 1 - a full to capacity crowd - vocal away support - and a massive gap on current form. It will be tough, for sure, although if we get that first goal......

 

Whilst I love (and agree with) the sentiment, I try to wait until after a game before saying this. Has been known to but me in the arse!!!

 

Absolutely. Point is a good result away. Agreed with every word

 

Great thread as always, I’m going for a 3-1 win for the lads but saying that I’d take a 1-0 COME ON

 

Very relaxed about this game, they are a mess just now their fans are twitchy, we are playing the best football in the division , confidence high, while I would take a point , I would be disappointed, this is a game we should win.

 

There’s talk of McGeady being out injured. Apparently he’s been spotted in Washington this morning, watching his son play football.

 

Last season that would be a worry, not this year, our game is no longer dependent on a single player. This will give more game time to others and allow him a rest .

 

Just said those exact words to my dad. Bang on.

 

Mindset very important here again. Dont give them any encouragement that there'll be any other result than a defeat.

 

Just passing through Hungerford, no fuel available so far, fingers crossed ...

... at least I have enough to get there

Right, back on the road, seen a few other lads driving down.

Woo hoo, just found some diesel!

 

good luck mate. Weather not so bad down here….. so far.

 

Would you not settle for a bite in the arse mate butt in the arse sounds a bit harsh
