So you'd rather be in West Ham's position?

2003 play offs? Seriously Alpine, we all feel bad enough without your relentless negativity. Polite request. Please stop.

The two home games were comfortable. I think it was 4-4 away from home last season. The uncertainty is that they are a maverick team.

Watch the West Ham goals. If it helps a bit, the Brighton defending was totally incompetent and the goalkeeper was comical.

Just seen the Wham goals. Totally incompetent defending by Brighton and the goalkeeper.....words fail me. It looks almost like he let some of them in on purpose.

Good point. It's the hope that kills you.

Not that I give a monkeys what happens to the Skates but that just about caps the worst set of results we could have seen today. West Ham's result will give them a huge boost. We really need to sell out the Peterborough allocation and make sure we get Saints over the line.

Possibly not certainly.

Agree with all of that. That's how we play. Adkins said last night that we won't change that.

Reading's performance was a fine example of defending deep and hitting us on the break. They did their basic defensive duties extremely well and we did not. They were clinical in finishing their (three) chances and we were not. There's all to play for. Keep our nerve and we'll go up. Once you are in the PL nobody gives two hoots whether you did so as champions. Who is to say Reading won't drop any more points anyway.

Reading simply doubled up on him forcing him too often to pass back to Butterfield to lob crosses from deep that were easier for their centre backs to defend than crosses from the byline. Consequently, but for one decent cross from the byline, he was largely ineffective.

It ain't over yet.

Yep and we all know what that means with his record. Sheer malice.

Lambert was deadly with free kicks last season. From how many free kicks has he scored directly this season? Can't remember the last one he got. Feels like we're due one on Friday.

http://www.portsmouth.co.uk/sport/po...hate-1-3715779 The article's a load of rubbish but I do wish our club would rise above this kind of nonsense and leave it to us fans who are perfectly capable of insulting the witless ****s.

I thought the atmosphere was great. Plenty of noise and everyone standing. Nigel Adkins and the players seemed to appreciate.

I agree. Being booed by you own fans, the fans he said made him feel settled after he signed, hardly breeds confidence.

I prefer facts to opinions. A case in point, judging by your posts I would have had you down as about 15 years old. Now I know you are a grown man with the maturity of a child.

How old are you?

There are some stats on the FL website. Same number of league goals as Lallana, similar number of assists, similar number of shots. He figures reasonably highly in the Actim rankings. But I suspect facts don't make a jot of difference to those that have closed their minds to Guly.

With respect dell days it appears that it is you that is going round in circles. Yesterday you wanted Guly out of the club. Today you think he should be rested. Make your mind up.

It's bitterly disappointing to lose any points to them but the derby's done now. No more distractions. I like how Adkins is relentlessly positive. Contrast with say Fat Sam. Look at where we stand with 5 games to go. What's not to like?

Of course he does. I recognise that. Just making a point about the absurd comment that the Manager that may get us back to back promotions should be sacked.

Absolutely right. I said similar last night on the match thread. In the cold light of morning they will surely realise that yesterday they were celebrating failure whereas we're back on top and in the driving seat.
