Take note United.

Stock up on the Balti pies for next week please

 

[coolasanidiot]

Quite restrained comments considering it was smash & grab.

 

[SharpAsAblade]

Pecks trim is quite bad tbf to them

 

[Birdwell Blade]

I agree with them that the away end was quiet as well. Mind you, the team didn’t give us much to shout about today, I thought we were awful.

 

[Kenilworth]

All got valentines to sort, obvs

 

[bornablade]

Thanks Roy. First few comments were more than fair. The second set of comments are just bizarre.

I've found after many long years following Utd that little beats an undeserved 90th minute away win

 

[Edgar Allan Poo]

Those infernal referees again!

 

[Nedski]

You know a ref is bad when both teams accuse him of being biased. He was awful.

And quiet fans? Really? We sang non stop. Ask my two little boys if they think we were quiet.. they kept asking when the shouting and singing would stop

It's really cheered up my day to find we not only gained 3 undeserved points but come a poor second to Wednesday's fans who sold out their allocation to travel all the way to the south coast to watch their band of no-hopers in administration. Wasting your hard-earned like that for no good purpose nor any entertainment value is always a good thing because it shows you're Massive.

Well, apart from the fact that it was still Mister Chansiri's Sheffield Wednesday when Portsmouth gifted them their only win of the season so far. No doubt they were protesting Mister Chansiri as they bounced their displeasure and forgot to celebrate their only win of the season so far (not sure if I mentioned that already).

It's cheering me up even further. But I'll make sure I'm quiet about it. Don't want to spoil our reputation.

 

[Karaoke Blade]

Nice sprinkling of pigs' comments at the end.

 

[Chimpan-A]

Lovely to see Wednesday fans finding time to get involved at the end. You might have thought that scoring for the first time in a thousand or so minutes would’ve distracted them, but no.

 

[BazWainwright]

“The quietest fans I’ve seen this season.”

I heard them break into 'Blue Army' four times and 'The Chimes' twice.

Meanwhile on the away end it was song after song after song.

 

[originaltrueblade]

Infiltrated by piggies near end of those comments. Three points now let’s relegate the pigs

Thanks Roy

 

[Blade56]

Fair comments until pigs ambushed their forum. We played worst first half this season then nicked it on 90. It happens (to us usually) but I’ll take it, sorry Portsmouth.

“State of Sydie Peck’s trim. Someone tell my man the war ended 80 years ago”

Nice, nice. Finally someone else with style I can agree with.

From my warm seat at home, I have to admit I rarely heard the Blades fans all afternoon. Possibly the microphones were mostly facing Pompey fans. They sounded very loud.

 

[Lord Eddard Muir]

Peck's hair does look like something out of Dad's Army, they've got him bang to rights there

 

[BerksBlade]

Wednesday awarded 50 bonus points for selling out Pompey away

 

[Caveblade]

Poor effort Roygbiv I was expecting some proper salty saltiness after that.

Good to see Wednesday fans maintaining the delusion around the importance of away crowds to earn extra points in a relegation battle.

 

[Tuns25]

To be fair my first thoughts when we played them at home was Soton brought more. Every time we play Bristol City I immediately remember Gas sang louder. And I can't enjoy playing Norwich as I can only fantasise about Tractors.

 

[SwissBlade]

Some of their negative comments about their own side tell a story. They played well, as the home side having more possession as you'd expect and at times we were hanging in there. They had some chances, but as Wilder said after the game, they didn't put us to bed.

I don't think it was a true smash and grab though and whilst we looked like we had moments where we shat the bed, it wasn't a proper domination... But to be thinking a draw would be a fairly alright result, away from home, against a side that we don't have a great record against at their place, to come away with a win and no red cards, i think that's a decent result.

It looked like we set up to play on the counter rather than match them for possession and dominate them, something we've had success with under Wilder. Though we didn't just go with one up top, which is encouraging.

Its been a strange week. Against Boro we probably played better, were unlucky not to be ahead early in that game, fought back to 1-2 and just couldn't quite find something at the end, came away with nothing. Travel to Pompey, rode our luck, but keep a clean sheet and take all three points. Not saying that Pompey were on the same level as Boro, they weren't. But it does show how tight this league can be.

As for their fans comments that it was a must win game. Not sure it was, they'll face worse sides who are out of form which they should be beating. I think for them (and us) yesterday was always going to be a hard game. I think they'll do alright though. They looked pretty solid and can't see on that performance how they're down in there.

And our fans seemed to be noisy throughout on the comms.
