Great that Rafa will be there, never really got chance to say goodbye.
Seriously hope I’m successful in getting a ticket for this.
There’s a 45k capacity and there’s 40k ST holders but I’m presuming a bunch will be given to corporate, whilst I’m sure the site said tickets will be offered to local residents. If they do it based on points and/or years held, I’m nailed on, if they do it as a ballot... then it’s squeaky bum time.

They said 45k +, so I think 45k is the minimum they need to get the safety certificate, or perhaps 40k and they are looking 45k min in case of non-shows. I'm sure that they would rather have the stadium full, 17k empty seats would take the shine off it a bit.

Bet sicknote gets injured in the warm-up
I know you're only joking, but I still don't get how he ended up with that nickname.Bet sicknote gets injured in the warm-up
Maybe it was more about timing than anything, but he played 593 senior games in total.
The keeper that give it to him played 70. Just for contrast, Nick Barmby played 582.
Yikes, that many! He must have been on our books for about 43 seasons then
He made 358 appearances for us over 12 seasons, so roughly 30 per campaign. No European runs for us back then, either.Yikes, that many! He must have been on our books for about 43 seasons then
Just goes to show that the agenda against Spurs and our players by the media goes back a long way
So with FA Cup and league cup, probably about 45 games a season on average, so he missed about 33% though injury, hmmmm Sicknote.
Probably because our then-chairman was mouthing off to the press about how, if a player is out with a long-term injury, that means he shouldn't have to pay their weekly wages
Of course he'd deny making such comments these days, but then again he also denies that he was instrumental in the career of Katie Hopkins...
He only played two seasons at Pompey, so no
It mainly came from the period between 1995-8 (and, as mentioned before, our then-chairman bellowing at how unfair it is to pay a weekly wage to an injured player)
He wasn't helped by being fit to play (and play very well) at both Euro 96 and the WC France 98 having not played that often for us, which annoyed said chairman
Not sure why Allan Nielsen is worthy of the 'legend' status tbh. Other than that diving header at the end of a diabolically dire final against Leicester (where the most entertaining aspect of the game was the moronic leicester jobsworth who forgot to fill their balloons with helium so they spent most of the game drifting onto the pitch), I can't remember him contributing a great deal. Then again, most of our players in that era failed to contribute a great deal and I have in total honesty - Ginola and Klinsmann aside - utterly expunged it from my memory.
