I couldn't care less if Mous succeeded or not at Portsmouth In fact, I'd rather he made a mess of it.

I like him a lot but I don't want him to do that well ... it's always good to finish above Portsmouth. Plus he might be our next manager so mustn't get too above himself.

 

[SteMerritt]

If making a mess of it means them dropping a lot of points in their remaining games against the top 10 teams around us , I would rather (after tonight) they went on a great run.

I know we have our own issues to sort out, but Mous/Portsmouth taking points away from those around us would help. Much more so than say caring about whether the likes of Swindon lose in a different league.

They can draw against the top teams and lose to the bottom teams. Not that it matters if we don't get our own house in order.

I much more care about Swindon results tbf, but then I work with a scummer.

I hope you're talking about your 'other' job, and not your more important role as a Mod.

No, this one. I'll leave you to work out which one is a fishy scummer...

 

[Coffin dodger]

Would this love in for Mous have happened if he was at Swindon or Reading.

 

[MJB]

No, this one. I'll leave you to work out which one is a fishy scummer...

Whoever it is, I'm sure they never stop carping on.

In what scenario could that possibly happen? One in which Buckingham and Mousinho
both get sacked at more or less the same time, presumably. Rather unlikely, surely?

A few years time , Des is poached by Bristol City and we approach lowly Portsmouth for their manager, as an old boy.

 

[Eric Blair]

Going for a big result tonight. Oxford - 5-0 victory. Sonny Perkins hat trick. Dont ask me HOW this will happen just know that it WILL happen.

 

[Big Ron]

Think we will lose 2-0. Football unpredictable though, sometimes you can nab a lucky win. Got to hope.

Or possibly a completely deserved win.

They will be the longest range goals ever.

Eastwood in goal for Pompey then

I think I'd rather be accused of being part of FoSB, at least then I'd have money

[NorthernExile]

f*****g bickering on here started already. This isn't a dick swinging contest...

Don't think anyone would go that far; we just want him to be a bit less negative.

I see you've harvested and eaten that "grow your own mushrooms" kit you got for xmas

It just takes the edge of slightly

 

[Eric Blair]

In all seriousness, it will obviously be a tough match as we have so many out injured but I think it will be a battling 1-1 with a spirited performance

 

[Steve Gilbert]

Good to see the pre match mood is nice and up beat.
On the plus side, all the ones saying how we are going to lose won’t be having a melt down if we do…

It will be very OUFC if we get a win tonight against the league leaders. They have been in mixed form but have just had 2 wins on the bounce (albeit against Vale & Fleetwood).

Hoping for a scrappy win but would take a point tonight and a win on Saturday.

This game reminds me of when Di Canios Swindon came here
Everyone was expecting a defeat and they were top and we were struggling.
Then Beano got sent off early and we all thought the worse, however the magnificent Andy Whing came to our rescue and although they had so much of the ball we held on and won.
Fingers crossed
