Lets B Avenue Posted 9 August, 2016 Posted 9 August, 2016 To be fair (and I hate myself for this but they are losing 3-2) the away end is not in that photo.
Pamplemousse Posted 9 August, 2016 Posted 9 August, 2016 Lol at twitter, of course after the third Coventry goal, they all now 'don't care' about this 'pointless cup'
The9 Posted 9 August, 2016 Posted 9 August, 2016 Just for the record: "29 MINS KEY EVENT Replay reveals We’ve seen a replay of the penalty incident and it looks like Bennett took a dive, minimal contact from Gadzhev from behind as the Pompey player raced into the box. We’re not allowed to put footage from the game in the live blog but on our Twitter account you’ll be able to see the foul. Very soft." Sayeth Coventry's local paper's live feed.
Danbert Posted 9 August, 2016 Posted 9 August, 2016 That's a completely different XI to the one that drew heroically with Carlisle.
The9 Posted 9 August, 2016 Posted 9 August, 2016 They have made 11 changes in their 3-2 defeat... so I assume the kitman's playing.
The9 Posted 9 August, 2016 Posted 9 August, 2016 Also, good luck waiting on an attendance figure, loads of stuff on the Coventry Telegraph's site about queues of an hour outside to buy tickets, and then them opening a cash turnstile just before kick off... away fan(s) not affected, but they'll probably take a while to work out the number who were there if they had an unexpected cash gate last-minute.
The9 Posted 9 August, 2016 Posted 9 August, 2016 They've managed to dodge us again. There's always the FA Cup, assuming they win two matches just for the right to get as far as us.

Golden Balls Posted 10 August, 2016 Posted 10 August, 2016 Just been told it doesn't matter as they've played more games at Wembley than anybody else. Obviously Arsenal don't count.
Saints Fan Dan Posted 10 August, 2016 Posted 10 August, 2016 Just been told it doesn't matter as they've played more games at Wembley than anybody else. Obviously Arsenal don't count. And Man United. And Chelsea. And Man City... and I'm just counting the new Wembley. I suppose the more irrelevant they get, the more Portsmyths they create.

SW5 SAINT Posted 11 August, 2016 Posted 11 August, 2016 Strange draw for the 2nd round of the EPL Cup with no Southampton or poopey involved...........

suewhistle Posted 11 August, 2016 Posted 11 August, 2016 OK, Boys and girls, as if you didn't know. Below The Line. Comments, innit?
suewhistle Posted 11 August, 2016 Posted 11 August, 2016 Brothers turn later Did you miss out an apostrophe to make it a possessive? We have standards to maintain here. You have potentially two correct places you can put it. :-)

suewhistle Posted 12 August, 2016 Posted 12 August, 2016 Ok, OK, that's enough. :-) mind you, I'm disappointed Bletch hasn't contributed, or even asked me to paly 5-a-side again. I'm either too good or too bad: I'm worried..
suewhistle Posted 12 August, 2016 Posted 12 August, 2016 Play, blow it. I'm not getting paly with any of that lot!
Mr Biscuits Posted 13 August, 2016 Posted 13 August, 2016 I would just like to take this opportunity to thank you for wrecking the therapy I have had to pay for since the last time that pic was posted. I am typing this from under my duvet, scared to go outside due to the thought that I inhabit the same island and might meet that.

jawillwill Posted 13 August, 2016 Posted 13 August, 2016 Drew v Crewe. Sweepstake on their first win if the season? I'm going to got for 3rd of September at home against Crawley (which coincidentally I believe is non-league day).
TopGun Posted 13 August, 2016 Posted 13 August, 2016 Pompey claim bragging rights to League 2 as they beat Crewe away 0-0.

Even Hayling Island would be better, if still a bit close.. Go and have a chat with The9, he'll cheer you up; Newport won away yesterday!

OldNick Posted 14 August, 2016 Posted 14 August, 2016 Pompey claim bragging rights to League 2 as they beat Crewe away 0-0. apparently it was a great result as they were in a league above them last season

Go and have a chat with The9, he'll cheer you up; Newport won away yesterday! Still in shock at that (I was at St Mary's though). Highlight of my day was finding out last year's black away kit is getting another year of relevance, though why they couldn't play in the new white away shirt remains to be seen (I'm guessing it hasn't arrived yet).

My mum's shopping catalogue was sexy, cartoon girls were sexy, anything that moved was sexy as long as I was thinking about a female......I think though, even as a freshly pubed -up lad, that pic would have given me nightmares and made me seriously reconsider my new found sexuality.
Saint 76er Posted 14 August, 2016 Posted 14 August, 2016 Pompey claim bragging rights to League 2 as they beat Crewe away 0-0. ... and still joint top, surely!

Chances are pretty damn high that you two have already met....
