3rd secured

[Beardsley]

That's us with at least third place then and definite Champions League football. I know it was pretty much certain anyway but it's nice to have it confirmed. It'll be interesting to see how that affects team selection as regards some of the youngsters getting a chance between now and the end of the season. I should imagine it's especially likely we'll see a few new faces if we beat Chelsea on Saturday.

 

 

Just for the record, we have to go through the qualification first. Should be a breeze, but still....

Yeah, I know but we ain't Everton, are we?

 

We'll have to be top seeds as well.

because it'd be better to go to Pompey with the prospect of needing 3 points to finish second

 

Or with Pompey needing the points to stay up ?

 

I said weeks ago that we needed to consolidat third, we have so I am happy about that.

Aye but at that point we'd still be third, but with a chance of better. As it is we'll be third with no chance of better.

 

Not sure I understand your point, Kev.

Don't worry, it's not for the first time.

So are we officially in the BIG THREE?

 

Or has membership to that elite group been given only to the Chavs, Mancs and the ar$e?

 

No doubt when the pundits begin to assess next season once the Chavs have this one tucked away, we'll still be spoken about as a token gesture.
