    They’re always given but I’m not sure they should be

    I don't disagree with you mate. It's the rules though.

    I can see your jinx hope mate but it won't work, we will trample them and finish off Conte for good.

    Assuming Chelsea win every game (funny I know as they won't) we only need 5 points to guarantee CL football.

    If we beat them it's done and dusted.

    We'll probably qualify by winning the CL but I'm just covering all bases here.

    Tickets were like gold dust in Portsmouth in 2008.

    <wah>

    Although they dominated I was relatively happy at ht as we restricted them to half chances.

    All went to pot after conceding less than a minute into second half <doh> Result was never in doubt after that. Though I think the 'push' by Austin was never a foul, not sure if it was over the line or not.


    Anyway, up the ****ing Saints.

    Conveniently forgotten that funnily enough.

    No excuses for us though as I've said before it's poor tbh.

    I would add though, that it's even worse that Chelsea didn't sell out. Supposedly one of the biggest clubs in the country and in London ffs <doh>

    They gave STH's an extra two each as well I believe.

    It's the general demise of the FA cup too, that probably has reduced ticket sales.

    Charging concessions £50+ in some areas is disgraceful too imo.

    Sad that so few value the cup though.

    That’s piss poor, they only took one tier at Goodison this season iirc, it seems that most of their Jemima and Nigel set don’t go beyond the Fulham Road.

    I'd say about 90% mate, just trying to convince someone to drive me lol, if not I'll brave the coach **** it. As I've said to you before it's right at the top of my list and it could be the last time we're there...

    I'm feeling quite positive about the final <ok> ... on the basis that it can't possibly be as dull as the last time the two clunbs met in the cup final <whistle>
