Hard to believe, but........ - Pompey_in_Derby - 10-04-2023
the 63 points from 41 games that we have right now would see us in 5th place in the Championship!!
On the subject of 'hard to believe', I cannot ever recall so many players slipping over during a game. Must have happened at least 10 times today - their fat keeper caused 4 mini earthquakes when he slipped! Was it a case of players wearing the wrong studs or over-watering of the pitch?

I'm not sure that ballet pumps take studs.

It's what they've all learned at coaching school. Must put a surface on. I've never really understood it myself, even when it hasn't been raining. The slicker surface must make control more difficult. They never did it in East Berks League Division 7.

Maybe it's watered to facilitate celebratory knee-sliding when we score a goal. In the event of that ever happening, of course.

or perhaps the only time we've beaten a decent side of late was on a swimming pool of a pitch?

I am! Sorry, nonsense deleted, irony completed.

Looking at the spread of points in the play off positions, we are five wins behind where we should be. With Fratton Park as an asset, that is fucking criminal
