We are top due to great defence and some creativity up front when it mattered.
We are top because of other teams; weaknesses, rather than our own brilliance.
In other years we'd be 4th or 5th.....fighting for playoffs,,,,This might be our year
for any number if reasons,,so let's enjoy the ride and not expect too much,
To quote a certain script: /Blessed are they who expecteth nothing,;,, they
will not be disappointed! PUP.
lets enjoy the ride whilst saying that we are only there because everyone else is crap, not because we are good
jeez give some f*****g credit to the team and management, we are 5 clear, best defensive record, 2nd best goal difference, 5th best scorers, lowest number of losses, manager of the month twice, yep thats all because other teams are crap

Whatever the permutations a win Saturday with Bolton derby drawing would be massive, let’s hope, a loss and win for one of them things will look a lot tighter

I don't see a win for either of the making things tighter for automatic promotion for first place yes
If either win then the other will be disadvantaged in that they will not close the gap on us at all

I see you don't actually disagree mate..you just resent me pointing out the obvious! This is by far the weakest L1 we
have competed in..that's why we're Top of the Pops mate! Have you noticed how many of our best resukls have come
when Yengi/Kamara/Lane and others are allowed to express themselves...without burden of always having to supply non-goal threat Bishop?
Colby is great...played well when he came on against Burton BUT...a goal threat he no longer is. Ship him out....or play him elsewhere...Pompey Ladies side perhaps? I exaggerate slightly..please don't get angry!

So SportMouth, I'm still puzzled whether your are
a. A troll from one of our rivals
b. A troll from our friends down the road
c. A Pompey fan who doesn't want to get dragged along with the promotion hopes, just in case we don't make it.
d. A glass almost empty Pompey fan.
e. A Pompey fan or other who is just trying to get a reaction.
f. Other
I give up, give us a hint.

13 points from 7 matches will guarantee us promotion.
I think the Derby win against Bolton was the best for our promotion chances. 9 clear of 3rd place. Brilliant.

3 points against one of the top six (completeing the double over them) Clean sheet, improved goal difference (only Derby have a better one) Best away record, best home record and we are ............................................TOP OF THE LEAGUE

The doubters were talking about us being overtaken by Derby when we were going to be beaten by the "Posh" today and them winning next week against Nothampton. Well People even if they do we will still be TOP OF THE LEAGUE!
