The Promotion Thread 2019

[Kenneth E End]

2-2 now and you'd expect Pompey to go and win now ?

Just like they’ve churned out constantly in recent weeks.

 

[DearneValleyRover]

Sobering in all this excitement to think that the three teams that do claw their way into the championship will likely be hanging on for dear life this time next year. Either that or already relegated.

Mine's a cyanide.

2-2 now and you'd expect Pompey to go and win now ?

As long as they don’t lose

 

[BelizeHatter]

Omg. What a fuck up offside.

 

[BelizeHatter]

Oh wow. Double pain for the miss.

 

[Super_horns]

I can hear the Luton cheers from here !

Barnsley a bit too far away..

 

[DearneValleyRover]

Bloody Fergie

 

[Bobbin']

Congratulations Luton and Barnsley, look forward to joining you in a months time.

 

[DearneValleyRover]

Well done Luton and Barnsley

 

[Kenneth E End]

WE ARE GOING UPPPPP

 

[Super_horns]

Well done Luton and Barnsley

One unbeaten for 30 games and the other all season at home so well deserved.

 

[Craig]

Yes!!!!! Luton-Barnsley circle jerk!!!!

 

[Bosox]

Yes!!!!! Luton-Barnsley circle jerk!!!!

Best two teams in the league without a doubt.

Now for a relatively stress free decider for the title.

 

[Kenneth E End]

One unbeaten for 30 games and the other all season at home so well deserved.

Err, we did both!

 

[Pompey1966]

Congratulations Luton and Barnsley....well deserved.
Now for the lottery of the playoffs for Pompey.

 

[Super_horns]

Err, we did both!

Oh yes - double deserved then !!

Suspect you will look forward to the Stoke games !!

 

[Jamo]

First time I've ever seen us promoted automatically. I'm not crying you are

 

[Hatter86]

Fucking hell. Just. Fuck.

Up the fucking Hats.

[BelizeHatter]

A little anticlimactic BUT a really good chance we miss out if it went to the weekend

Full respect to all else involved. Incredible season. Pompey esp who miss out on autos and Sunderland too. Play offs will be tough. Full of praise for all. Thankfull even if it feels we should have gone up weeks ago..... but thats why we're full of respect for our rivals.

 

[WilsdenBantam]

Well done to both teams, best two I've seen by far this season.

 

[K-Win]

Had a night to reflect on things. Luton and Barnsley deserve to go up, so no complaints there. The best two footballing sides over the course of the season.

As for us, last night's disappointment aside, we've had a great season and may still hit 90 points which is damn good.

A real shame for us that we couldn't take it to the final day as it would have been a fitting end to a crazy season. That breakaway offside goal being chalked off then conceding immediately at the other end just knocked the stuffing out of the players. They've been remarkably resilient this season but this was a comeback too far.

We've got plenty of time to dust ourselves off and at least we go into the play-offs with a reasonably healthy squad, unlike in our previous two attempts.

How the fuck did you manage to cock that 2 v the keeper up K-Win, basics and makes it 3-2 to you.

Well, obviously I wasn't personally involved in the cock-up, Southey.

It was a combination of Pitman not shooting in the first place (he's a great finisher - he's one-on-one - just put it away FFS!) - and the inexperienced Viv Solomon-Otabor deciding to sprint in-front of the ball for the pass. Bonkers.

 

[oakroader]

choo choo...so long suckers

 

[Bosox]

Don't suppose it happens too often that a player qualifies for a promotion medal from both the sides promoted from a division in a single year. George Moncur goes into the final day knowing he can get a winner's medal whatever the results after 21 appearances for Barnsley and 13 for Luton.

 

[Bucket_]

I remember it happening with Danny Rose a few years back, just before he joined Pompey. He played for both Oxford and Northampton over the season, moving to the latter in Jan; both were promoted. Prestigious club though, no doubt!

 

[Super_horns]

Sebastian Bassong played for both us and Norwich when we were both promoted to the PL in 2015

 

[Bobbin']

Saw this, don’t know how accurate it is as I can’t be bothered to go and work it out but found it interesting. Our 18 is certainly correct.

Luton obviously far better at not slipping up against the poorer sides and putting them away.

 

[K-Win]

Looks like the play-off mind games have started already

Just found it interesting that other than yourselves and Barnsley, it’s an exact reverse of the top 5 - and Doncaster.

 

[Hatter86]

Yea cobsistentcy against the rest has been our thing. That and drawing against those around us.
