MATCH QUOTES

“We came here as the bottom side in the Second Division … a aide badly needing a point. “We got a draw . . . and as far as I am concerned a point away from home is a great result. "All the lads worked really hard and I admired their professional attitude." Tommy Docherty. "I have a golden rule. “Never talk about the opposing team unless it's to praise them for their contribution to the game. "No comment." Portsmouth manager George Smith when asked about Villa’s performance.
