Portsmouth v Sunderland

[Basham Wonderland]

Anyone watching? Very poor game - I thought these would both be looking like Championship sides tonight.

I'd prefer Portsmouth to go up - Sunderland fans have not yet suffered enough.

 

[Pompeyyellows]

Poor game very niggley. I don’t want either to go up.

 

[Foley]

Poor game.
Pompey should really be ahead. They are getting very frustrated though.

 

[Winchesterox]

See Maguire's got a yellow

 

[Foley]

Surprise surprise Maguire winding up Pompey.
They suggested on Sky that Maguire has been best Sunderland player

 

[Maurice Earp]

3 Pompey players booked before half time to the one Sunderland player.

 

[Oxford84]

think we are better than these two.

 

[Foley]

The cheating is terrible.
There appear to be large empty sections in the Sunderland end? I appreciate that it is a long way but even so?

SD stood behind the goal with the riff-raff. Couldn’t see CM though..

 

[Oxford84]

people watching this must think league 1 is s**t,these sides have almost no creativity at all.

Sunderland were only given 2000 tickets. don’t know how many they sold.

The two games have been a terrible advert for League 1.
So far very poor quality except for Maguires goal in the first game.

It’s a huge trip on Thursday night for a televised game, no one, even Sunderland would sell out on a Tuesday night in league one.

 

[Oxford84]

Its like watching a game with ian atkins managing both teams!

 

[Foley]

They do average 34000 at home.
So can they bot even sell out 2000 (unless they were only given certain sections?)

 

[Winchesterox]

Think they said there were 1,379 away fans

 

[SteMerritt]

Awful game of football, I've given up on it.

 

[Scotchegg]

We definitely would have!

 

[ZeroTheHero]

Snorefest. Portsmouth look pretty impotent up front (as it were) and unable to exert any sustained pressure. They've got 20 minutes to save their season - let's hope they at least give it a decent go. Neither of them look like Championship clubs in the least though.

I know that it is a long way. I reckon we would take that many to Sunderland in such a huge game.
Poor away support in my view (mind you the home attendance at Sunderland was very poor relative to their average crowd)
