- O'Neil eyes Euro charge
Portsmouth midfielder Gary O'Neil has challenged his side to hold their nerve in the closing weeks of the campaign as they bid to secure a UEFA Cup spot for next season.
Pompey are currently seventh in the table, but face a tricky run-in with trips to Aston Villa and Everton and home clashes with Liverpool and Arsenal to come.
O'Neil told The News: "We're going to try to win the next four games and if we do, I'm sure we'll get into Europe.
"If we win two of them we might have a chance, who knows what it's going to take.
"We've got some tough home games and we need to pick up a win from one of our away games at Villa and Everton. If we do that we might have an outside chance.
"Reaching Europe would be fantastic. We've had such a good season, it would be great to have something to really remember it by, rather than simply finishing eighth or ninth."
