    So after a great win away at Peterborough the blue few sit top of league one with 20 points from 8 games. A cracking start to the season and with Lowe and the Irish lad having a good start to the season and with an experienced Jackett at the helm things are looking on the up.

    Is this the season you get back to the second tier for the first time since 2012 and just a tad closer to your more illustrious neighbours? <whistle>

    Hopefully, yes.

    By illustrious neighbours, I presume you are referring to Brighton ?

    Quite possibly Dev, still think we should just about be okay as despite being pretty poor there's some utter dross in the PL at the moment. Long way to go for you lot too but I fancy you to finish at least 3rd...

    Just try and win a couple of cup games instead <ok>

    Great win against Sunderland for you lot today and needed after dropping points in your last couple of games.

    Pretty sure you'll be playing championship football next season, don't think we'll be joining you though :biggrin:

    Merry Christmas ya dirty skate bastards <cheers>

    And no I didn't go today and working today too (blessing that one perhaps). Looking forward to Derby next week though <ok>

    Good comeback win yesterday btw.

    Well the blue few appear to have found form at the right time and a win today at Sunderland today will put them in prime position for that second automatic promotion spot.

    Be a tough ask today but surely if you get a win then you'll fancy yourselves to finish the job with your two remaining home games.

    Luton - Burton away D, Oxford home W - 95 points
    Barnsley - Blackpool home W, Bristol Rov away D - 92 points
    Pompey - Sunderland away L, Peterbro home W, Accrington home W - 92 points
    Sunderland - Pompey home W, Fleetwood away D, Southend away W - 91 points

    On these predictions Pompey would have to overturn an eight goal deficit in goal difference to go up in 2nd so it would be all guns blazing against the Stanley!

    Do you not fancy your chances today then Dev? Beaten them twice already and if you do so today I think it will boost you enough to get over the line.

    Tough game today, but I fancy Pompey for a 2-1 away win.
