Match Day Thread Portsmouth v Hull City

Who would be a football supporter
from the first minute until the last
you reach for the sky in celebration
or fall to the ground in desperation
I’d settle for somewhere in between..
Today…PLEASE!!!!!

 

We are all entitled to an opinion

 

Selles specifically spoke to Baz about not doing that because he doesn't want to risk a result elsewhere stuffing us last minute.

 

Just had a call from someone who went down last night. Got plastered. Now in fan zone, rammed with City fans. He has just seen someone he knows who went down on Tigers Travel so they at least will have chance for a few drinks.
Wonder if the HDM will mention over 2,000 fans travelling all that way for a 12.30 kick off?

 

Starting to get a bit nervous

 

Remember in future, when ya missus says your going for a drink, you're going.
Hope your healths got better now mate.

 

A fan on twitter said the away pubs wasn't serving 'til 11am.

 

Here’s all the permutations:

Lose at Portsmouth and they are down but Hull City's fate is in their hands. Their most simple pathway to staying up is to win - they would be guaranteed to finish above either Derby or Stoke who play each other - or at least better the result of one of Luton or Preston.

If the Tigers draw and the Hatters or Lilywhites lose, Hull would survive with a better goal difference than both those sides.

Should Luton and Preston avoid defeat, Ruben Selles' side could finish above Derby on goal difference if they draw and the Rams lose to Stoke by three goals.

There is also another unlikely scenario in which Hull could finish above Derby on goals scored if the Tigers draw 6-6 and the Rams lose by two goals. In the equally unlikely event Hull draw 5-5 and Derby lose by two, the Rams would stay up by virtue of a better head-to-head record.

Hull can only finish above Stoke if they win and the Potters fail to do so.

 

i told ya crooks was crucial

he starts


joseph on the left then
gelhardt in the middle

 

He rang me just after 11,is drinking in fan zone. He still be pissed from last night.

 

Crooks, Pedro, Joseph start

 

Seems very attacking, the way Portsmouth play I’m worried we’ll be overrun. Would hate to go down chasing a win when a draw could’ve done the job

 

im worried the midfields a bit light though

 

Happy with that.

 

We should definitely start off going for the win.

Trying to play for a draw is what got us into this mess

 

dodge-box ready

 

That's about as attacking as we can go. I'd maybe go Burstow over Joseph but accept Burstow hasn't played much lately.

 

So it begins..

Hardly a day for those of a nervous disposition but further proof Football is without doubt still the best game on the planet. Can only wish the club well…Respect to those who traveled down.
