It has been a good season to stay in the division
“My team were magnificent tonight,” said Redknapp. “They are the best bunch of lads I have ever worked with. It is a real credit to them that they have kept it going all season through to the end. We are assured promotion with four games to go and that cannot be bad.“
Stan was somewhat envious of the celebrations at the end of the game.
“That is what we want but last night was Portsmouth's night and it is congratulations to them. They have been on top all season and I am delighted for Harry, Jim Smith and Kevin Bond. They have done a fantastic job.
“We have competed well against Portsmouth tonight and they have been the best team in the first division this season. It shows what we can achieve and hopefully next year we can get a bit of consistency.
"At times we played really well and we were unfortunate coming out losing it. We matched them and if we apply ourselves there is no reason it can't be us this time next season."
Stan, with a different view than the Burnley fans was convinced we should have had a penalty.

"It's a penalty, Ian Moore was pushed over, and the referee Brian Curson doesn't give it. The same thing happened at Norwich City on Saturday. Then they went down there and got a goal. But I always say what goes around comes around.
"Dimi got a knock on his hip and I had to take him off. I had to take Brad Maylett off because he was not playing well enough.
“It has been a good season to stay in the division with everything that has happened, it is just we have set high standards."
