Portsmouth been on poor form 17:48 - Mar 13 with 3547 views | Nthsuffolkblue | Just noticed they are playing that funny cup competition final today. I wonder if they have been a bit distracted and whether losing it will allow them to regain focus or simply knock their confidence even more. |  |

Are they still in this year's competition as well or has that already been done? |  |

This years final is tomorrow so Salford will be "champions" for one day. |  | |  |

Isn't this season's final tomorrow? I could be wrong here. It is, Sunderland vs. Tranmere Rovers [Post edited 13 Mar 2021 17:56]

Hadn't noticed we were against them that soon, to be honest. |  |

That’s handy, Sunderland can put all their energy into that - hopefully extra time and penalties. |  |

That would have been fun for either of today's finalists to have played at Wembley 2 days running. Would they have still got a fine if they had played too much of a weakened team? [Post edited 13 Mar 2021 18:06]

Is a waste of time any season, but absolutely staggering that with all the fixture congestion and likely disruption that this competition (which didn't have a sponsor to appease at the start) was allowed to clog things up further this seasson. |  |

I hate that attitude. Lots of good clubs have won that competition and used it to push on to bigger things. That's not the reason Pompey are having a lull. |  |

It's not a competition I have followed at all (I thought Portsmouth had won it once). Please do tell me these "lots of clubs" who have used it to push on to bigger things. EDIT: And this is not meant as a dig at proper cup competitions like the FA Cup. I am looking forward to a manager taking that one seriously. [Post edited 13 Mar 2021 18:19]

You honestly think, with the current pandemic, no chance for fans at the final that there was a place for it? |  |

Still waiting for that list of "lots of clubs". |  |
