MATCHDAY 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.
