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?

 

[yellowbow]

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.

 

[Foley]

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)

 

[Sir Winston]

Both Shite. Dreadful advert for League 1. Hope Charlton beat either of these mugs in the final.

 

[holdsteady]

We didn’t take that many to Exeter in our first attempt at the conference play offs all those years ago, and that’s not as far.

 

[Johnf]

I think we will be playing both of these teams again next season

 

[holdsteady]

Truly terrible game isn’t it, Leeds Derby yesterday was a cracker, this is like watching paint dry. Charlton will beat either of these.

 

[yellowbow]

Both Shite. Dreadful advert for League 1. Hope Charlton beat either of these mugs in the final.

Speaking of Charlton, it looks like they’re going to have to do without Aribo whichever league they’re in next season

Report: Manchester City make first move to beat Arsenal to Joe Aribo

Manchester City are reportedly moving for Joe Aribo.

Think it was sold out in the away end as I had trouble getting tickets.

 

[Gary Baldi]

A woefully poor game this. Pompey have created some chances, but as has been said, the quality is very poor for 2 teams that spent so much and are so lauded. It makes me appreciate what good football we played at the end of the season compared to this tripe, and how our poor start cost us.

As for the Pompey fans... Where did they dig some of them up from? And nary a brain cell between them

 

[Foley]

That was the Conference.
I still reckon that if Sunderland cant take what 5% of their home support that is poor.
Equivalent of us taking 300.

 

[Foley]

I can't believe how poor Pomoey have been.
Awful.

 

[Basham Wonderland]

Have either team had a shot this half? There was a header earlier saved by the Sunderland keeper's feet. Oh and a header to the centre of the Sunderland goal. Can't remember anything else. I don't even know why I'm watching.

The shithousing is resplendent, to be fair.
