    They’re going to build a 60,000 seater stadium apparently and spend the most of any championship side in history in the summer - which won’t change even if they’re relegated.

    The bloke sounds like an out-of-touch lunatic with a new toy, obviously these types always have a happy ending so I look forward to the conclusion. 

    It’s like when Darlington moved into their 25,000 seater stadium and left 20,000 empty seats. Birmingham have never really been well supported despite the size of the city. 20-25 seems like their level so that’s potentially 35-40,000 empty seats and a huge billion pound project for nothing more than vanity. 

    A 60,000 state of the art stadium in Small Heath absolutely beggars belief.

    It'd never get built as all those cheery locals would be continually making off with the materials.....

    Are we allowed to point out then that PW was performing miracles to have them in 8th with a game in hand, immediately prior to leaving?

    That was last season tho, when they did stay up, no?

    I don't think it will be just the Wycombe game that will be an ugly ugly game.

    Wycombe along with the other remaining 3 teams, who by the time we meet them, will probably have nothing to play for. Other than the kudos of beating us.

    They'll all know we'll need wins, to keep ahead of the chasing pack. I believe all 4 teams will be dogmatic in their approach to the game,  try to  stifle us by any means possible, be they fair of foul. Then hopefully pinch a goal when we overstretch ourselves as we push forward looking for a goal.

    Unless we manage to score a couple of early goals, I doubt any of the last 4 games will be easy to watch.

    We haven't really had many games that have been an "easy watch" all season so no real change there.

    I would have come on last night but I'd had a few 'settlers' before the game and followed up with a couple of glasses of wine when I get in to decompress  - so was less capable of typing than usual.

    Proper game of football last night - not sure whether the conditions were a leveller or just added to the spectacle - but suspect both sides were happy with the draw, whilst wondering what might have been.

    I thought you were set up really well (credit to both Warne and the players for executing) - you looked better than any of the other top sides who we've hosted this season.  I genuinely hope we both make it up via the automatics.

    Take care of yourselves, Rams.  Hopefully see you all next season in the league above.

    I might get to the match next season (live near Eastleigh).......went to the 0-0 last season but got caught up with work last night.

    Here's to a close scrap for the remaining few games Pompey fans 👍

    It’s 8 days between our last and next game, surely that’s enough rest.

    In some ways that's a shame as I feel we had generated some momentum. In the past, longer gaps seem to have caused us to "reset" rather than kick on.

    Oh well, it is what it is. A bit like @sages derriere in a Heanor expose......

    Gamble responsibly etc., but put your entire mortgage on Wildsmith getting a booking before the end of the night.

    As long as it's for the 15th time he's comfortably caught the ball and then gratuitously and slowly lain on the deck that's ok.....

    Imagine being a Pompey fan, spending hundreds of quid on season tickets, and having to spend all season listening to that pillock with a bell. And our fans were complaining about the drum.

    According to my Pompey supporting mate, the fratton end crowd refer to the guy in the naval costume with the bell as "sex case".

    Odd fellows, Pompey fans.....

    Didn’t think cider was supposed to have bits in it 😬 Btw my dad would find this funny. He was said he was tempted to sprinkle a bit of B4 in the sugar bowl in Pride Park’s away changing room last week 😂

    Daniel would have been both thrilled to be near his heroes and highly amused by the prank I think!
