Personally i think relegation is between 5 teams; ourselves, blues, burnley, hull and pompey. West Ham and Fulham are bound to improve and the likes of Bolton, Blackburn and Stoke should be ok. Crisis club welcome!

Also looking at the next lot of fixtures points are going to be difficult to come by.

3 points are a must for both teams.

I was just coming on to make the same point. Why is it every time I think things can’t get worse for Pompey – they do.

Apparently the non-payment to players isn’t as serious as the Sun is making out (surprise surprise!) and from what I understand it was clerical issue which affected some but not all of the players.

However, more worringly, our chief exec has come out today and said the money has totally dried up at the club. This won’t affect the wages owed which is being sorted, but unless our ‘Del Boy of Dubai’ comes up with the money he said he has secured – it’s administration for us.

I was actually feeling quite confident earlier in the week but the latest developments don’t bode well and Wolves should be licking their lips as it’s a great time to play us. We’re there for the taking.

Still, funnier things have happened in football than a team as low on confidence and in a much turmoil as Pompey picking up a surprise away win. Fingers crossed!

We need to take all three on sat though, and at win one of the next two, 13pts from the first 10 game would be a productive return because I am pretty sure there are very lean time ahead as the fixture fairy gave us the best start to a season of any of the relegation candidates.

Looks like a few predictions coming in already. Disappointed to see some negativity at this stage in the season, but understandable I suppose. The way I try to look at is that we were always going to struggle this season more than last, so enjoy the Fulham-type games, and try and ignore the Sunderland/Blackburn ones.

Not going to bother venturing a prediction given my 100% inaccurate record so far this season…having said that, Portsmouth victory!
