00:00
Just a quick video before I leave Norwich. I quite enjoy coming to Carrot Road, actually.
00:07
Remember the Andre Green game? And now this is the Colby Bishop game, really. It's fantastic, isn't it?
00:13
I'll have to get Andy Moon to replay his commentary so we can hear about that for this one.
00:16
Wow, what a day for Pompey. We all know how awful they've been on their travels this season.
00:23
And Coventry was so heartbreaking. 22 seconds left in the game when Coventry got the winner in the last previous away game.
00:33
And then Pompey have come to Norwich this afternoon, not expecting a lot, let's be honest.
00:40
They were purely reliant on home form to keep them in this division.
00:44
And then suddenly, I don't know how it happened, but Pompey won 5-3.
00:48
In fact, I do know how it happened. I watched it, as did many of you.
00:52
And they thoroughly deserved it. What a performance. What an attacking performance.
00:56
John Messina described it as one of the best performances of the season.
00:59
One of the best attacking performances of the season. It was superb, wasn't it?
01:03
Pompey defensively, a suspect, and they were again today.
01:07
But they were brilliant at attacking.
01:10
Oshish's best game for the club, Colby Bishop-Haptrick.
01:13
Josh Murphy with 20 goal contributions this season now. What a player.
01:18
Matt Ritchie with a goal and an assist.
01:22
Freddie Potts, one of his best games for me in the centre of the field today.
01:27
You had Isaac Hayden as well. Superb.
01:30
So much to like about Pompey today. Outstanding.
01:33
And those 1,189 away fans.
01:40
I think I've got that wrong.
01:42
I think 1,880.
01:43
I don't know. Whatever.
01:45
But, yeah.
01:47
Finally, I saw Pompey winning away from him.
01:49
Only a third time this season.
01:50
And again, they follow Pompey to all ends of the country.
01:54
And while some on social media have given up on Pompey this season,
01:57
saying they're going to get relegated.
01:58
Some have given up on Pompey, saying John Messina should be sacked.
02:02
Those fans haven't.
02:03
And many other fans haven't as well, thankfully.
02:05
And Pompey now has six points.
02:07
Well, the Reliation Zone with three games to play.
02:09
Two of which are at Fratton Park.
02:11
What a day.
02:13
Absolutely phenomenal.
02:14
Makes it all worthwhile, doesn't it?
02:15
You get the heartbreak of Coventry.
02:18
And then you come to here, not expecting anything to win.
02:21
It's 5-3.
02:23
And, wow.
02:24
Football, isn't it?
02:25
There's been an incredible week in Europe.
02:27
And now we've seen it today at Norwich.
02:29
And their fans were leaving after 52 minutes.
02:32
52 minutes they were heading when Pompey were 4-1 up.
02:37
You couldn't stand it.
02:38
But it just shows you Pompey away from the home.
02:40
Who would have thought that?
02:41
What a day.
02:42
Special day.
02:43
Colby Bishop getting his hat-trick.
02:45
We're going to look back on this day, really, and cherish it.
02:47
The memories.
02:48
What a performance.
02:49
What a day.
02:50
What a team on this occasion.
02:52
John Messina has performed miracles to keep Pompey in this division.
02:55
All credit to him.
02:56
Even before the game, somebody on social media was telling me how he should be sacked.
03:01
Can you believe it?
03:04
Sorry to disappoint, but John Messina is leading Pompey towards safety.
03:08
Hopefully this season.
03:11
Against all the odds, all the injuries, budgets, whatever.
03:13
Pompey are doing exceptionally well, aren't they, to stay up.
03:16
If they do stay up.
03:19
I'm going to go home now.
03:21
What a day.
