Finishing third is still huge for Portsmouth...never a foul before Ronan Curtis’ goal – best tweets following draw at Sunderland
and live on Freeview channel 276
Kenny Jackett’s men trail both leaders Luton and second-placed Barnsley by four points, although they have a game in hand against Peterborough on Tuesday.
Nevertheless, a point at the Stadium of Light for the Blues was a decent result and still gives them hope of finishing in the top two with two games remaining.

Personally think automatics are a step too far, but finishing 3rd is huge, Sunderland are average and so are Donny, I'd hate to be facing Charlton
@Shovell96
Really does make you question how MacGillivray didn’t get a chance at Shrewsbury. Our best keeper in the last 10 years, saved us numerous points this season with world class saves, an unbelievable piece of business from Kenny #Pompey
@tomsy_1994
1-1 not the best of results for us but still leaves us in with an outside chance.. how the ref disallowed Curtis’ goal is beyond me! Never a foul on the keeper.

@tj_malley
Results haven’t gone our way but a 1-1 draw away to Sunderland is not a bad thing whatsoever. Win on Tuesday and we’re still well in with a chance of automatics come next Saturday as well. It’s football, anything can happen on the final day and #Pompey fans should know that.
@kgrbison
Hmmm so if Oxford and Bristol Rovers beat or hold Luton and Barnsley and Pompey win our last two games we are the Champions ...its a pompey fan thing always the optimist PUP
@MattPhillips78
Excellent point. This team has bags character, love them - to go up there, against that crowd, noise, vs a team who needed a must win at all costs & the players they have. This team never gets rattled. Can still go up, almost have 3rd place which is critical. PUP! #pompey
