“Hope Wednesday night is a case of after the Lord Mayors show for Sheffield United”
“Sheff utd gonna be tough as they are way too good to be bottom 3 players they have in their squad I take a pt right now but their home form is poor so far… gonna have to be solid as at the back which we haven’t really been also pts now clear of bottom 3 is 4pts only “
“We’ve got a terrible record at Bramall Lane. Would take a point gladly”
“Blimey, was it really as far back as 1955 we won at Bramall Lane in the league? I’d settle for a point now.”
“Just had a little look out of curiosity and at the start of ‘55 Winston Churchill was still Prime Minister (!)
Surely this one has to end! It was 15 years since we beat Millwall home and away in all comps. I thought that was bad. Let’s have a week of ending stooopid winless records!”
“no good memories from playing at Sheffield Utd
hemmerman hitting it high over the bar from about 3 yards early 80’s, and 3 sent off mid 80’s.
Long overdue a result”
“Sheff Wed won 2-0 away against us yet lost 3-0 today at home against Sheff Utd.
That could explain why Sheff Utd are 7/10 odds-on to win on Wednesday. Pompey’s odds are 4/1.
Also, most of the last Pompey team to win there have passed away as it was in 1955.
It all points to a Pompey defeat, but runs must end sometime, so I’ll have a tenner on a win.
Happy to lose that, but only if they draw!”
“Our first ‘must not lose’ game of the season coming up. Both teams will fancy it, given we both won at the weekend.
I’d be delighted with a draw + no injuries”
“Considering how they played Sunday and the quality in their squad, I’d take a point now (please!).”
“Hopefully it took a lot out of them and the celebrate with a few beers. They acted like they won the cup at the end of the game.”
“Games we lost that we really should have won against Sheff Wed and Norwich at home are the reason we aren’t sitting comfortably in mid table. We can’t keep offering charity to clubs in and around the relegation zone, especially as we became one of those clubs. They have a day less to recover (albeit without having to travel very far at all) . We need to be right on it from minute one, none of the panicky and disjointed nonsense we saw early on at Brum and Hull.”
“with key players coming back in no reason for a repeat performance of Saturday Vs Sheffield on Wednesday! Let’s pull away from that bottom 3 now!”
“I’m still pissed off about last seasons game there. We battered them for most of that game. It would not have flattered us at all to have won 5-2 or more.”
“I watched the Sheffield derby on Tuesday night,
Found nothing to be afraid of, a good chance of 3 points wed”
“So you are living in the future then……can you tell us tomorrow all the what the result was on Wednesday night so that we can all lump on it & make a fortune”
