BOF Posted April 20, 2006 Moderator Share Posted April 20, 2006 People saying pompey are talking from their heart and not their head. sha have the advantage. They do after last night Richard, but up to that they didn't. Also, Pompey have 2 home games, SHA have 1. That could be a massive difference in the end. Even if we take goal difference into account as that's not too dissimilar between them. I still think Pompey are staying up. Here's one. Pompey have loads of money. They've been one of the better teams in the league since Harry got them clicking. It's quite likely that with decent investment in the summer Pompey will not be one of the worse teams in the league next season - certainly nowhere near as bad as they were this season. If they stay up they will likely finish above us next year. If the noses stay up they could be a healthy few points for us. They don't have the money Pompey have to strengthen with, and with the recent relegation scare they'll likely be wary about spending - long story short there's a good chance of them finishing below us next season. Who would you WANT to go down if it meant us having 2 easier fixtures next year ? I'd say Pompey will be a damn site harder to beat than SHA next year so it might be worth our while if fistface succeeds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, I don't think Pompey will finish above us next and season, and if Blues have less injuries next season then they might get mid table like the 3 seasons prior to this.

villafan306 Posted April 21, 2006 Author Share Posted April 21, 2006 Dunn is out for the rest of the season too Seriously thought I do feel sorry for Dunn and Upson - rushed back to fitness and then maybe having their careers cut short because of having to play when not fully fit.

Jimzk5 Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 a big indicater will be this weekend. you have to pick pompey to pick up 3 points against sunderland, and blues will lose to evernot, leaving 2 games and 3 point gap. pompey will beat wigan and draw against liverpool, blues will beat newcastle and lose to bolton. pompey for me, not a case of heart ruling the mind, but its how it will be.

ianrobo1 Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 so West Brom have gone and can see Blooz getting 4 points - Newky - draw and Bolton win so Pompey need just teh one win, wigan ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villafan306 Posted April 22, 2006 Author Share Posted April 22, 2006 Don't I know it! SHA's injury problems at the moment mean that they will be withuot Dunn and Upson, Pennant and Heskey were risks for today's game so they may be out for next week, Johnson took a nasty knock and had his head cut open (in fairness to him he stuck at it and played the rest of the game) and Butt will be ineligible next week. Pompey should have most players back for their game against Wigan. And nobody really cares about WBA as they need to win both and Pompey lose both for them to stay up which won't be happening.

Guest RantinRob Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 Just been listening to the Yam yams on WM..................can't understand why they are all so "gutted" - it's been coming for ages, and they ARE shite..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoccerHQ Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 Excellent results day although it didn't look that way when Bunderland went 1-0 up........ The way I see it the most SHA can get from their last two games is 4 points as they are playing two teams in UEFA cup 6th place contention. Their form at the Sty is quite good so they have a decent chance of beating newcastle but I can't see them beating Bolton at the reebok so draw at most. That would require Pompey needing a win from a nothing to play for Wigan and a Liverpool side with an eye on the cup final. But if Small Heath lose at Bolton, they'll only need two draws to stay up. All in all, it's looking good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianrobo1 Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 I would say it is better than that Soccer, Newky are playing well and not conceeding and blooz can not score ... If I am right but qa Blooz-Newky draw and a Pompey win is enough ..... Who is on live sky next week ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I am right but qa Blooz-Newky draw and a Pompey win is enough ..... Who is on live sky next week ? True but the last two teams with European contention to go to the Syt- Bolton and Blackburn have been fecking terrible and Chelsea could only draw plus Newcastle are missing quite a few players (although Owen will probably make an appearence) but it would be quite ironic if Solano scored the goal that relegated them! Lua lua and Mendes should be back for Pompey next week and they should make the difference to get pompey the win they need from the last 2 games. Sky games next week are Chelsea-manure and Spurs-Bolton. prem + for some reason have Charlton-blackburn. :shock: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianrobo1 Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 good Soccer, that means that both teams will play at the same time giving none of them an advantage .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad_Dog Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 Blues are ****, Newcastle next week after a UEFA Cup place with owen returning, and Liverpool will play their reserves in that final game at Pompey, or if after much Blues bleating they play their first teamers, they will go through the motions , either way Pompey have 3 points last game and Blues go down 8) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
