Yeah like the team in theory. Obviously we don’t know how it will work in practise yet, but the main thing is they match the intensity, physicality and effort of Pompey. Getting really nervous now, just want to get in the ground now.
I think a former or current player needs to explain to the new boys how important this to the supporters.
Cracking lineup. No excuses with that. Jack, love you dearly, but please keep it calm and nothing stupid please
They've had speeches from Benali and Le Tissier to drum it home. Adam, Jack and McCarthy in the dressing room will make sure they know as well.
Will, thank you, a back four with a packed midfield Love that starting XI and wow look at that bench! COYRs
Enjoy everyone. Great memories from the last home derby, bar the last second goal, but we had last laugh anyway! Jealous not being there. Make lots of noise! COYS
I used to know everything about our players, but, since I stopped going, I don’t recognise them now. Not helped by frequent additions and subtractions of players. Don’t recognise their nicknames on here! The shame, the shame.
If that hasn't been done time after time during the match preparations I'd sack all coaching staff and put the tea lady in charge.
Lively atmosphere very early. In my seat already, most Saints fans outside need to get in. Pompey fans making the noise inside as outnumbering us atm
