The official 2011/12 nPower Championship thread - Part 2

[sainter]

Sounds like Federici had a blinder for Reading.

Even though a win would have put Brighton back into the top six, I wasn't expecting Gus or his team to do us a favour anyway!

Meanwhile in the other game Millwall beat Pompey 1-0. Going down. But hey, at least you got a point at St Mary's to celebrate all off-season.

Ever since the 10 point deduction we were pretty much gone.. that 0-1 against Millwall confirms it. I just watched the entire pompey vs scum game, so so good! Even more enjoyable watching the youtube clips of scummers in the crowd go from jubilation to silence.

Still no owner for us, just hope we survive, might even buy a season ticket next season.

palace have been terrible all year, since cardiff.

onwards and upwards next season! hopefully a scorer comes in

That about sums things up with your lot.

Don't think it was a great derby?

I also enjoyed our fans out singing the home fans for pretty much the entire game.

It was a good derby. I suppose we've just got other priorities. The thing I take out of the game is that if we didn't concede the late equaliser we'd be sitting 8 points rather than 6 points clear of West Ham. That matters so much more than dropping a couple of points against a local rival.

I won't get caught up in arguing who has the loudest or best supporters. The crowd statistics when the teams are both struggling and going well says it all.

 

[camsmith]

Sainter, guess we have to take joy out of anything..

1-1 now after 47th.. Shaping up to be a good one.

2-1 Reading now..

 

[sainter]

3 shots on target, 3 goals.

I think the commentator described Reading as ruthlessly efficient and that's what they were. But that's probably a little disrespectful because their run of 14 wins out of 16 is phenomenal. They are just an outstanding football team at this level.

Hugely disappointing for us because I think we played quite well, particularly
in the first half. Now we've got a really tough game against Peterborough next up.

If Brighton can do us a favour tomorrow that would be really appreciated!

 

[apollo_creed]

6 points out of 9 to guarantee promotion mate.

Can't see West Ham slipping up tonight. Their home form/results have been horrible, I think it's fair to say that they're due a home win.

 

[Gets!]

Cardiff limping towards the play offs...

Just nab 6th spot boys then who knows!

 

[WCErevival]

I knew we were going good but didnt expect last nights result. Great effort from the boys.

I dunno if I would describe the reaction in those videos as silence Cam. More foul mouthed and disgusting but there ya go.

We have to accept our fate now but as long as the club survives there is always a chance to get back, hopefully with more responsible owners next time. Apparently there are 2 parties interested and business will have to be done by the start of June or liquidation is a very real prospect. Will be an interesting couple of months to say the least.

No matter what happens PFC will be back in one form or another, even if we have to start again. The supporters trust has plans in place for that too by the sounds of things.

 

[Mooch]

We were never going to keep up our early season form but the drop has been very dismaying We were 9-10 points clear of seventh not that long ago, now we're gone. 4 wins and 4 draws from our last 8, pathetic

I got to the Cardiff and Hull games and both were extremely disappointing. My season-ticket-holding mates were saying that is par for the course in 2012. We never got into the game v Cardiff but should have had Hull when on top in the first half. If we had got another goal while we had an advantage, we probably would have won that. Instead, we got in front and then just sat on it. Once Hull figured out our elaborate tactics (hoof it over the top for Emnes) and got their tails up, there was only going to be one outcome really.

 

[sainter]

West Ham vs Brighton has been gong for 3 minutes and the Hammers have already scored.

**** you Gus

 

[sainter]

And now 3-0 after 10 mins.

Keep going Brighton, our goal differently was 9 going into this match and it's soon to be 0!

Seriously Brighton, just **** off.

 

[abs_of_STEELE]

Embarrassing stuff. PO chances stuffed now you'd think.

 

[Gibbsy]

Thought of you when I saw the score Absy

West Ham have now scored 19 goals in their last four matches (including this morning), pretty prolific stuff. Love watching Vaz Te play

 

[flea29]

sainter, been following this thread for a while now, loving your work all season, but I reckon you're panicking a bit over nothing.
Reckon your goal diff is more than enough to see you through. Just happy to see the Hammers get some home form up in time for the playoffs! Then again, given the way we've been going I wouldn't be surprised to see it finish 3-3

 

[The_Flying_Egg]

Vaz Te is an absolute gun, wish Barnsley were in a position to keep a guy like him more than a few months. He's so exciting

 

[JuniorBurger]

Looks like Pompey have given up. 2-0 down after 5 minutes away at Donny and it should have been 3 or 4. Appleton comes out in the press saying he will play the younger players for the rest of the season. His response too the appalling start tonight? Bring on Dave Kitson. lolololol

Will be down by 5pm today. What a load of old s**t!

 

[Gibbsy]

Lansbury just blew a great chance for number 4

This match is more exciting than any of the Prem games on right now

 

[abs_of_STEELE]

Have actually been alright other than the first 10 minutes. Unlucky not to get one back before the half.

Although could've been 4 lol

 

[year of the roo]

We've gone from 1-0 down to the Posh, to winning 3-1 in the space of 3 minutes. One of the goals to Billy Paynter of all people.

None of this matters one bit, though.

 

[abs_of_STEELE]

Paynter scored? Really? Not sure if I can believe you on that one.

But things just getting worse and worse in this one. Hopefully no more...

And Cardiff are up now too, great night!!!

Lol. Now Paynter has a second
