Austin – I worry more about the consequences of losing to Liverpool far more than losing to Pompey, however I have to say I feel more positive about getting a result at Anfield than at Fratton Park. I know Chelsea away is a rock hard game but we were talking about all 3 teams…

Fratton Park is a shitter of a place to go. It’s genuinely the way I think.

OBBO, I have been writing on here long enough to know how to talk to fellow Reds mate. I have never upset anyone before today and don’t plan for it.

I have to admit, SILLY was the wrong word to use (I should have used PRESUMPTUOUS).

Totally Agree with Gazzaro, Her_Si_Choi, and Austin.

If we have to choose to play a must win away game, I believe that most of United fans will prefer going to Fratton Park rather than Anfield or Stamford Bridge.

In fact, we are all United fans and we all hope out team will win tonight. No one should be blame or criticise as a silly, though in this case I believe that you are. Therefore, I think that your comment is very rude, and shouldn’t be used in this board.

So, Tom F…. Next time think very carefully before make any comment on others.

Gazzaro, I’m always a BIG silly I cannot help it!

I wasn’t slamming your views in a nasty way, or calling YOU silly (although you are ) … just in a don’t put the Scousers on a pedestal kind of way.

However, of course Chelsea have the best record against us… though Liverpool, who we play after Pompey have the worst home record against us out of the 3.

New signings and form go out of the window in these games. Liverpool haven’t beaten us in the league in years, yet Portsmouth who you could say were a ‘lesser’ side in football terms, have a far better record against us.

Do you see.

Pressure, what Pressure?. lol

From the comments i’ve read here, it’s the fans that are feeling this pressure. Our players have been in situations like this, and they know how to produce the goods to overcome!. Don’t worry lads, we’ll beat Pompey 2-nil and if we play this formation below, I’ll expect goals from Rodrigo and maybe Tevez/Rooney/Campbell.

——————–VDS———————
Brown——-Rio——-Vida——–Evra
——-Fletcher———–Scholes——-
——————-Rodrigo—————–
———Tevez————Rooney——–
—————–Campbell—————–

Optimistic, I know, but that’s the kinda guy I am!. Hopefully, the players and coaching staff are too!.

Tom F, …. you said that my comment about away match going to Fratton Park is comparatively easier than going to Anfield or Stamford Bridge is a little silly… and then you show the score of our away games in the last 5 years… Ha Ha Ha… I don’t know how canyou said that. Because if you look at the score carefully, maybe, you will realise that if I’m a little silly, you are a BIG SILLY….

Our game away at Fratton Park in the last 5 seasons, we managed to get 2 wins and 1 draw. However, at the Bridge, sadly enough to say that we’ve lost 4 times and drew only once. OH! No… who’s the big silly guy.

I’m quite sure that if anyone ask SAF and our players to choose a must win game to play, they will prefer going to Fratton Park rather than Anfield. This season Liverpool and Chelsea have a great start (6 maximum points). So, I’ve said on what I saw, base on previous result, and based on the new signing of opponents. I never say that going to Fratton Park tonight will be easy, of course, I’ve already said that it will be a ver difficult match. So, Tom F… may be you need to understand football a lot better before start to criticise others…

I dont give a fuck if we play terrible (like chelski/pool) and scratch out a 1-0 win, its the 3 points that matter now.

And to be honest friends, I, Andrew Vader, take full responsibility for the poor performance and result of last week. See I went home to my parents house and stayed with them the week before the season started. As I was back on the road on my way home saturday before the match I realized I had left my lucky United shirt back at their house. Now, I was about an hour and a half out, and I seriously contemplated turning around to go and retrieve it; however with gas prices the way they are and the pathetic current status of my checking account, I just couldn’t do it. So even though I felt sick doing it, I continued on without it praying that the lads could play well even without my influential shirt. Well…we all know what happened. So after the game I was on the phone with my mom telling her to get my shirt in the mail immediately. And you should all be happy to know that I am wearing the lucky shirt as I speak now. So, fear not. Luck is back on our side.

Gazzaro, to say that Pompey away is automatically easier than us going to Anfield or Stamford Bridge is a little silly.

If you look at our records at each stadium over the last 5 years you’ll see the following:

(United scores always second)

Away To Pompey:

07/08: 1-1
06/07: 2-1
05/06: 1-3
04/05: 0-2
03/04: 1-0

Away To Dippers:

07/08: 0-1
06/07: 0-1
05/06: 0-0
04/05: 0-1
03/04: 1-2
Away To Rent Boys:

07/08: 2-1
06/07: 0-0
05/06: 3-0 (vomits)
04/05: 1-0
03/04: 1-0

Though losing against Liverpool is always the worst feeling of all!
