Pompey fans were back at Fratton Park for the first time this year on Monday - and what a joy it was!
A victory over a promotion rival secured, the table-topping Blues' two-point advantage at the summit of the standings maintained, Colby Bishop back on the scoresheet, Stevenage boss and pantomime villain Steve Evans left rattled, and Nathan Thompson shown yet another red card following that awful high-boot challenge on Christian Saydee - what wasn't there to love!
We, of course, all hope Pompey front man Saydee is okay after receiving that kick in the face. But with full confidence once again restored in John Mousinho's side after a couple of wobbly performances, the mood among the Fratton faithful is buoyant again and ready for the next League One challenge that awaits.
Pompey's next third-tier game is on Saturday, when they travel to Cheltenham. A week later, Leyton Orient head to PO4 as the Blues look to build on their latest Fratton Park showing.
In the meantime, though, here's some of our favourite pictures of the Pompey fans enjoying their latest visit to the Blues' famous old home. See if you can spot yourself or a loved one among the crowd!
