Think it's important we clearly target 3rd. We need to be the team in the playoffs that are in form. If we get to 3rd it'll partly be because the others (Millwall at least) are stumbling. 4th is in our own hands now but we should push for better. As far as I'm concerned Ipswich are gone, and that may be a good thing, wouldn't want to face them in the playoffs.
3rd is on, not sure why people think 4th is the target. All the other teams in playoff places are struggling for form at the moment, we only have to pull 1 or back on Millwall. Finishing 3rd will mean we are still in form and will give us the easiest path. Ipswich are gone.
If its player of the season, then its impossible to look past Scienza. Downes was awful earlier in the season, Manning too, Bree and Peretz weren't even here in the first part of the season. Wasn't too impressed with THB before the switch to back 4.
We played in the UEFA Cup Winners Cup in 76/77 as a 2nd tier club. Remember the game against Anderlecht, before that Olympique Marseilles and Carrick Rangers.
Pretty sure that the TNT and BBC coverage are from the same feed for the FA Cup, agreement started this year. Would be odd for Shearer to have been commenting on both independently.
BBC pundits and commentators were praising the support throughout and saying the atmosphere was electric. Richards was overwhelmed by the crowd. Maybe the mics didn't pick everything up but it came over pretty good in my opinion.
Tempered by the fact they lost to Derby who are now on same points as us. I hate Pompey getting anything but a draw last night would have been better for us.
