Why do L1 and L2 finish on different days ?
annoying.
So Sky can show important Championship games on the Saturday lunch time, an important L1 game(s) Sunday, and don't give a monkeys about L2, so they can kick off at the normal Saturday 3pm time when they cannot show live games.annoying.MadMullah said:

we had it and we dropped it.
Yes, blew that big time, haven't seen the highlights, were you unlucky ?we had it and we dropped it.
I wish we [Pompey] were playing you in the play-offs now, I think mentally it will leave your players in a sorry state and yet you need to lift yourselves in just a short space of time for 2 or 3 massive games.
Not to sorry we ended up 6th, I don't think we could have coped with the pressure at home in the second leg.

Well done on the promotion 
At least you avoided us!MadMullah said:
huge game for my boys today - accrington stanley
And now you have us in the play-offs 
What an afternoon that was.
I thought Oxford would be the team to slip up. Feel sorry for Accy.
Unbelievable scenes at the Memorial Stadium when that 92nd minute winner went in. Better than promotion at Wembley last year.....yes I think so.
Our fans managed to close the main Gloucester Road with their celebrations. The winning goal scorer was carried shoulder high down the road as was our new multi millionaire owner and president.
Good luck to everyone in the playoffs.
UTG!

I was constantly checking the other scores (I'd lost interest in the game in front of me
) and saw your late winner. From a selfish point of view and assuming we're still in this league next year I wanted you and Oxford to go up as I think you'd have both been a threat again next year.Bluedot said:

Well we did it, Oxford United are going up (up up up )
What an amazing season.
Beating Swansea in the FA Cup 3rd Round.
JPT finalists against Barnsley.
Runners up in league 2.
This in spite of (or because of) 59 games in total (I believe) and
with massive injury problems in the final quarter.
The strength of leadership in Michael Appleton and Chairman Darryl Eales ,the squad and backroom crew showed through in the end.
Here's to 16/17 and another sporting, entertaining season of great football.
Good luck to all in the playoffs.

So its either Blackpool or Fleetwood down from L1 to L2.
We need to win away at Peterborough and hope Crewe can beat Fleetwood. So looks like we are going down to L2, and I couldn't care less. Our tactical genius of a manager will probably play for a draw.
Think I'll go and watch AFC Fylde hopefully beat Harrogate in the second leg of the Vanarama National League North play-off semi, Fylde are 1-0 from the first leg.

Properly enjoyed Saturday at Home Park. A 5-0 win has got to put the team on a high for Thursday at Fratton, especially as Pompey didn't exactly go out with a bang on the last game of the season. Then Sunday at home and I'll take either Stanley or Wombles at Wembley.
But let's be realistic here, this is Argyle we are talking about

no we just didnt show up first half - 2nd half we slowly got goin - but too little too lateI wish we [Pompey] were playing you in the play-offs now, I think mentally it will leave your players in a sorry state and yet you need to lift yourselves in just a short space of time for 2 or 3 massive games.

i think the nerves of the event got to the players. the whole club feels like its a relegation even though we're in the play offs and if offered this at the start we'd have jumped at it.
mentally its taken a huge toll on the players no doubt about it. afc will be wanting this game to come as soon as.
Stevenage somehow finished 14 points clear of relegation on the back of some excellent defensive performances albeit hapless in front of goal.
Glenn Roeder coming certainly appears to have had a good effect at that end of the pitch... now with the news he is remaining as advisor, if we can make some progress to the attacking side of our game then we should be pretty good next season.

I saw the highlights, you looked a bit unlucky from what I saw, hit the bar a couple of times ?i think the nerves of the event got to the players. the whole club feels like its a relegation even though we're in the play offs and if offered this at the start we'd have jumped at it.

As you say, the players looked choked at the end, need to try and lift themselves, which will be very tough.

That's odd, considering that it's The Dons that will be there 
dudeyou've mis-spelt. Its Stanley. Not The Dons.
its ok happens to everyone.
saying that i'd rather face plymouth too
lotta beef between accrington and portsmouth back room staff - that would cloud the judgement and we'd lose.

Nervous as hell already.
This time last year I was at a BBQ shortly before flying down to the Falklands for sis months. We struggled against Wycombe in the first leg and were blown away in the second - when I landed and got into my room we were midway into being stuffed in the second leg. I hope this year will be different.Gassing Station | Football | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
