    We've had all kinds of shyte with Portsmouth this season ...

    ... dodgy red cards, opponents cheating/diving/time wasting, ****house tactics and ****house fans.

    Tomorrow is the night when we get the luck, the decisions and the result.

    I can't wait to get down there and stay in the ground for our celebrations while those scumbags slink away.

    Haway Sunderland, let's have a magical night that we talk about for years.

    I quit my job yesterday mate so I'll be there in time for a pint.

    I've worked miracles here since I arrived a fortnight ago ... Rafa would be proud <laugh>

    I assumed they'd be fine with me knocking off at 4pm, instead of 5pm, to get there for 6.30 in time for a few pints.

    That, apparently, is an unreasonable request!

    If I had the inclination I'd take this to the European court of human rights and create a new statute ...

    ... 'the right of every Sunderland supporter to prepare themselves for a match by imbibing alcohol.'

    Instead I told them to stick their t&c's up their back passage until their eyes pop.

    Haway the Lads!!!!

    Portsmouth step up security after man threatens to 'kill at least 150 fans' at Sunderland clash
    Police are investigating the matter ahead of the sold-out Sky Bet League One play-off semi-final second leg at Fratton Park.
    • Portsmouth will increase security measures for their crunch clash with Sunderland on Thursday night after a social media user threatened to shoot and bomb supporters attending the game.

    Threats, posted on the Twitter account of Kieran30971361, referenced the Manchester Arena bombing which killed 23 people in May
    "I wounder (sic) how many Portsmouth fans I can shoot everyone remember the Manchester arena bombing just imagine fratton park going bang well let's find out tomorrow," read the initial post.

    It was followed by:"Bomb bomb fratton park went bang the Portsmouth fans all died Haha going to be fun tomorrow headline news."

    Has to be taken seriously, but since when does a terrorist with capability and backup to do something like that spoil their chances by advertising it .

    I think this will be either a massively cagey affair and end in a bit of a bore draw or end up a 4-3 with 3 red cards or something ridiculous.

    Can't see it being in the middle.

    Yeah it was all over twitter last night.
    It looked like some kid or one sick individual.
    Very sad that things have got to this state.

    I'm ****ting myself. Not because of this 'threat' but the actual game.

    (As a sidenote I am not at the match anyway so will probably be safe within my own living room)

    I'm gonna aim for The Good Companion on Eastern Road as parking looks ok and it's en route back to the 27 without going through town.
