[Archived] Portsmouth 2-2 Rovers

[Flopsy]

does make you feel quite dirty doesnt it

[Presty On Tour]

i fancy us for this one, pompy are on a run where we need to knock them off the tracks.

we have already beaten them up at ewood this season, coming from a goal down too.

last season was quite a rough encounter at fratton park, we took home the 3 points with a fighting display which is what we need on saturday.

it's all about who wants it more, they want to survive the drop and we want champions league!!!

they may have home advantage, but we have advantages, better players for a start, hughsey... when ever i see an interview just fills me with belief and faith, he will do his homework on pompey and the players will have a plan of battle and the army of fans we will take to be our 12 man!!! (and drown out their ###### donkey bell)

rovers 3-0 whoop assing!!!

savage 7

pedersen 10

bellamy 69

Just a reminder that there are no tickets available on the day of the game so don't travel without!

[SamTheShrew]

can't see us winning this one i'm afraid. Pompey at home on the back of three successive wins and our frequent inability to perform against the lower teams away leads me to only one result, and thats a win for portsmouth

it hurts me to say it, but i see a 2-0 win for pompey, with a poor performance by rovers. if we want anything else we will need our bigger players to perform how the admiral frequently does

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

I BELIEVE.

1-0 Rovers......Bellamy.

[SAS]

is anyone staying the weekend who hasnt booked hotel yet ?

[OJRovers]

I hope rovers bring pompey back to earth with a bang

rovers masterclass 4 - 0 Pompey

savage HAS to score this season !

[herbergeehh]

Sorry if this've been mentioned, but the LET reports that Savage and Neill escapes ban if they avoid yellow cards this weekend - and will get a two match ban if they get a yellow. This is absolutely crucial !!

[waggy]

with the way savage tiptoed round on monday i think he should be rested

[herbergeehh]

Hmm.. can't afford that either, really. Haven't seen Pompey since 'Arry came back, are they a physical side these days? Reid / Tugay would do, but that right wing is a problem atm.

[Rovers Air Force]

all the remaining games are massive and will decide the 4Th, 5Th and 6Th place, this week no more than the rest. Sadly I think this could be the week (including Mondays farce) than our season comes back to reality with a bang!

If we start with Dicov up front again and resort to the likes of Kuqui, his "goal" withstanding, we deserve to finish 6Th or 7Th for our lack of desire, we have to go all out in every game.

Honest predictions:

Man United 1 vs 2 Arsenal

Liverpool 2 vs 0 Bolton

Pompey 2 vs 0 Blackburn

Spurs 2 vs 1 Man City

Hope I am wrong!

There wont be too much money going on the arse imo. Clubs do not usually perform too well after a good result in Europe and a trip to OT is definitely not to be desired. Still...... it's a funny old game.

Same here in the UAE. They are planning to televise almost all our games till end of season. In fact they missed only a couple of games over the last 3 months, Boro and Newcastle.

Lawro has predicted us to lose again, so some good news there.

The BBC match preview also includes this:

"BLACKBURN ROVERS lost ground midweek in the race with north London duo Spurs and Arsenal for the much coveted fourth place, when held to a one-all draw with Wigan at Ewood Park. A controversial late equaliser from sub Shefki Kuqi ensuring they took something out of the game."

Someone explain to me how we lost ground on a team that lost and on a team that didn't play by picking up a point?

[Oklahoma]

We'll win 1-2.

Mendes for them and Bellamy and Tugay for us.
