So Pompey, Oxford and Charlton all to battle it out in their final game, for one remaining play-off place and only one point difference and GD in it. One set of fans will be happy and two will be crying.
If Oxford or Charlton get in on the last day, I'll have a 10a on them to go up. It usually works that way...

I was looking at the form tables today, and Oxford were only second behind Hull. I think it was Oxford who missed out last season on that stupid points system they used. They are a good attacking side, I've not seen enough of Charlton to give a fair assessment of them.

I've just looked through the fixtures and Portsmouth are at home to Accrington. Accrington drew against Charlton last week so that's no foregone conclusion. Oxford are home to Burton, so I'd expect them to win that. Charlton are at home to Hull...

Portsmouth or Oxford. I wouldn't want to call it but should be interesting come kick off.

Burton's a lot tougher game than it seems, they've really turned it around since Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink came back. I can see them scraping out a draw.

Whereas Charlton need to hope that Hull are all party'd out, as they've already won the league. No need for Hull to play a full strength team unless there is something in the rules.

Accrington are a nightmare, you never know which way it's going to go with them, as you rightly point out.

I really couldn't call it Saf. Pompey obviously have the one point advantage, so it's down to them.

I'd be exactly the same, fair play because you must be wobbling by now surely <laugh>

Have I told you about my new mate? It's a fox, I've started to leave a couple boiled eggs out for it on a night and now I can open my living room window when it's there and it doesn't run away anymore. I reckon I'll be stroking it in a few more weeks like, I can tell it likes me, It's the most inquisitive thing I've seen in my life, proper nosey. It hasn't come tonight yet and if it's not here by 1 I'm away to bed. Catch it tomorrow night hopefully.

I actually scratched a fox between the ears two years back.
I walked out of the front door to go to the shop just as it was walking up the other side of the street, i crossed the road quietly and followed it along the pavement until it stopped to sniff something then i just had to touch it. It brought it's head up and stared at me for about 3 seconds then turned and trotted off quite fast, magical moment.

They're part of the dog family at the end of the day, I think that's why I've always liked them. If you feed them they'll begin to trust you over time. Great hunters, I stood and watched one hunt and catch a mouse in the park one night. Deserve the cunning reputation, crafty little ****ers.

10 years ago that would have been unheard of but they're getting more and more confident around humans. They don't have a choice really, we are hacking up new land to build on all the time so we are bringing them onto us.
