Mackems V Pompey Match Thread 18/05/09

Kick off at 8pm AFAIK live on Setanta Sports.

I'll be watching this with great intent. If Sunderland don't win tonight there'll be four teams scrapping it out in a relegation battle come Sunday.

Setanta are doing a Big Brother style recap at the moment.

Day 276....

Quality!

Headshot

fu'cking hate graham poll

bloody hell there showing close up views of crouch

Portsmouth were very poor against Blackburn last weekend, hard to know whether they are on the wind down with being safe.

At home tonight though you'd expect them to be a bit stronger.

Sbragia should have no problem motivating his team for this tonight, a win will keep them up, the fact Chelsea is their last game should really mean they come out all guns tonight.

Im expecting, and hoping for a Sunderland win

Who is in goal for Pompey?

Asmir Begovic

ctrl-alt-delete

Unbelievable there, great work by Johnson to get the cross in

That_Guy

How close was that?

ctrl-alt-delete

Malbranque should have done better there, caught it with his shin, half a chance.

That_Guy

Thought Sunderland should've scored there. Good save though.

ctrl-alt-delete

Terrible again by Malbranque with a good bit of play by Sunderland, very very weak shot.

Begovic looked a bit uncomfortable there.

Pompey looking promising whenever they attack

Headshot

cheer up Alan shearer

lolz

ctrl-alt-delete

Not sure if it's because where Setanta have their mics,

but the Sunderland fans are making themself heard.

Won't please you That_guy what they are singing

smackbunnybaby

are the whole ground regardless of team singing Cheer up Alan Shearer!

That_Guy

*glares at Sunderland fans* How dare they?

This is a bloody snooze fest this match.

That_Guy

This match so far can be summarised as:

Long ball, give the ball away, long ball, clearance and random shot here and there.

that goes for both teams.

Could have been from his Southampton days yeah,

But no prizes for guessing who instigated it

Certainly wasn't the Mackems anyway.

Sunderland really need a lot of shooting practice,

Richardson had a similar miss last week!

It's a disease in the North East it seems. Cantscoreforsh*titis.

Daemos

Is anyone else bored out of their brains with this game. That goalmouth scramble a few minutes in was the best so far, with the singing coming in second ( when the fans singing is the second best part of a match, you know it's a sh1te match)

ctrl-alt-delete

Sunderland Socker**

Jones wins a header,

Unlucky, similar to Pompeys best chance

Yep. Seems to be a case at Fratton Park

Daemos

Then as I say that S'land hit the post and the ball rolls across the goal. Typical. Now I look like an idiot (and I know what's coming next, don't )

Half time?

That_Guy

Right. HT. Some strong coffee is needed now to get me through this snooze fest.

That_Guy

The stream I'm watching is doing a recap of Tony Yeboah's greatest goals for Leeds.

That_Guy

I give up.

Guy:Incognito

0-1 Jones.

ctrl-alt-delete

Great goal for Sunderland to put them 1 up,

great work by davenport down the right, and a fantastic ball to Jones at the back post, wasn't an easy one, but it was very well finished!

Staying up if it stays like this.

staker

1-1 FFS

ctrl-alt-delete

well that didnt last long, Utaka 1-1

ctrl-alt-delete

The ref could have a bit of explaining to do,

seems to have blown the whistle before the goal was scored, seemed to be giving a free out,

then the goal stood,

i didn't see anyhting wrong with it, but it was strange all the same

Highsider

It's matches like this that make a mockery of "the best league in the world" tag. Two really poor teams.

Which league is full of sexy football playing brilliant teams?

Everyone in the league doesnt have to be great for it to be the best league, they just have to be better than the others.

ferdinand you fool :eek:

ctrl-alt-delete

2-1 to Portsmouth,

what a mistake from Ferdinand

Guy:Incognito

Shocking stuff from Ferdinand. Made a meal of a handy clearance.

What was the defender sliding in trying to do by stabbing the ball with his foot? Theres no way thats going anywhere but in.

staker

Missus has sabotaged the tv.
Not even bothered tbh, poor game.

Maybe the linesman let him know there was no foul so he let the goal stand.

As Poll pointed out, you cant blow the whistle and then keep playing. It was a shocking error on his part.

He couldn't have that quick to be honest,

I was half thinking it was an Audio/Video Sync problem at Setanta

Chucky the tree

3-1 Pompey. Jones missed a golden chance just before it.

Fratton Fred

Jesus loves Linvoy..and so do I.

mcwhirter

Have to say, Sunderland were terrible.

Spider_Baby!

So am i right in thinking if newcastle beat Villa next week, Sunderland could well go down? Definately dont see them getting even 1 point vs Chelsea!

Chucky the tree

Jesus, fair play to Ricky.

Nope. For Sunderland to get relegated, both Newcastle and Hull have to win. It's pretty unlikely although not impossible.

Current odds on Betfair:

To be Relegated:
Middlesboro: 1.03
Newcastle: 1.69
Hull: 2.84
Sunderland: 9.6
