Credit where due...you islanders can spend it faster than your club can pay it..:)

 

Fear not!

 

Tomorrow is a home game, and according to the PCC that will bring in a handy £12.5m to the Island of Dr Moreau [sp].

 

With 15,300 tickets sold, that's just a mere £817 per fan[sic] for the day.

 

I do hope someone has told the 2,300 Boscombe fans to make sure they've got enough cash in their wallets ;)

Contains this shocking new revelation:

"However, the issue of player compromise agreements has now emerged as a major stumbling block in the Trust being able finalise their bid."

So Cheats FC have found a loophole to the latest transfer embargo, and have driven a lorry through it. 10 new players, and 7 more to come if Appy is right. This is either an OldNick prediction of armageddon proportions, or one last month of excess akin to Avram visiting Fu Fu's Massage & Beauty parlour knowing he has only that one month left to live.

As I've spent the last three years of my life, following every page of this most stunning rollercoaster of a topic; variously chuckling quietly to myself, or laughing out loud in genuine hysterics at the priceless comedy, tutting under my breath as they get away with yet something else again, tearing my hair out as they add insult to injury, and even on occasions, temporarily taking leave of my usual calm and balanced demeanor to hurl the odd tirade of obscenities at my monitor upon reading of yet more spurious skate skullduggery, with a few random exceptions, I've usually kept my own counsel, and just enjoyed reading all the fantastic contributions from so many dedicated 'nutjobs'.

 

This evening is a little different however.

 

As the Minister of P*mpey Disinformation - gleefully, arrogantly, boastfully, and infuriatingly smugly "ticked off" a list of names via his dedicated personal propaganda outlet, - something gave way within me.

 

There was a raw, deafening, sickening shattering sound, that reverberated right through me, as the camel's back finally snapped, splintering into something approaching three hundred million shards, as it succumbed to the pressure of just that one flicking V-shaped straw too many.

 

Genuine anger, coursed through me in waves, and found its outlet of expression, in the form of fingers tracing keys, and these words pouring out across the blank canvass of this page, like crimson splattering across pristine unspoiled snow, following an explosive blast. If I'm honest, even in such a slow to anger man as I, it had been slowly building within me, for some time now. Like a coiled cobra, awaiting to strike and spit venom.

 

Neil Allen was merely the sanctimonious incendiary device.

 

Something about the manner of his delivery, had images of that iconic shot of Lowe with the f*cking inane smug smirk etched across his face, rampaging through my mind, and calling down the descending red mists, as if by some ancient pagan incantations, heralding the falling of fire from heaven.

 

All throughout this most captivating "Saga", - the twists and the turns, the exasperation and the laughter, coffee over keyboards, quality over quantity, and a catalogue of really dumbuya's, - I always managed to retain a sense of perspective. "It's just football, and not worth losing my rag over".

 

But, it's not just football though, is it. We're talking about a serially corrupt, criminal operation, that has destroyed lives, financially raped and pillaged, consistently rode roughshod over not just sporting rules, but the laws of nation states, gets off with a slap on the wrist, the slate effectively 'wiped clean', and then immediately re-embarks upon its preferred lifestyle of a serial rampant rapist, without the slightest remorse. Rinse and repeat. Rape. Rinse and repeat.

 

From Serbian tax cheats, to Israeli Arms dealers, convicted fraudsters popping up to 'lend a hand' with the accounts, the ice-cream man to the invisible man, an administration and a Hong Kong loan shark, the FA's "Head of Integrity" to the Russian Mafia, back to the loan shark and have another administration.

 

Business as usual at Fatpipes Park.

 

 

You put f*ck all in,

you take three hundred mill out:

in admin, out, in admin, out

you fake sheik it all about.

You do the plucky p*mpey,

and you turn around,

debt's what it's all about!

 

 

Whoa, the plucky p*mpey

Whoa, the plucky p*mpey

Whoa, the plucky p*mpey,

Knees bent pants down,

Rah rah rah!

 

 

Seven years (or is it eight now? I've lost count!) of living on the "tick" like there's no tomorrow, shafting anyone in sight with the naivety to do business with them, taking what's not theirs and endlessly spunking it all up the wall, like Eddie Mitchell at a "free bar". "What do you mean we've got to pay for it?!?" "It's p*mpey, innit mush!"

 

For some utterly bizarre, insular, island dwelling reason that I simply cannot begin to fathom, p*mpey think they are a "special case", and that the rules do not apply to them. The saddest thing is, that to a certain extent at least, the so called "Governing Body" of our game, seem to actually agree with them!

 

How??? Just how the f*ck can they possibly be allowed to "sign" these new players? Transfer embargo or not, "non contract monthly contracts" or not, sanctions not coming into effect until exiting administration or not, these serially offending cheating c*nts have just spent the past seven years, clocking up and blowing off nigh on £300 MILLION pounds of 'debt' that they likely never had the slightest intention of settling, and f*ck the tax on that, cos "it's p*mpey innit". P*ssing multi millions of other people's money down the fat infested Fratton drains, 'agree' CVA, stick two fingers up at CVA, plunder the life savings of poor Lithuanian pensioners, rack up another near £60 Mill of debt, again, don't worry about tax cos "it's p*mpey innit", 'agree' another CVA you'll never pay, never learn your lessons, carry on regardless.

 

And now here we are. UnAppy bemoaning the "slightly unprofessional" approach of your paymaster telling you it's time to live within your means, all ninety five minutes worth of playing a group of players you can actually (maybe - kind of) 'afford', and despite everything that has gone before, and f*cking over yet more creditors, in come ten new players other League One teams can't afford, to keep up p*mpey's 'divine right' to be "competitive".

 

Whilst the club is teetering on the verge of liquidation.

 

And the bumbling old Football League fools just stand idly by and watch this sick sh*t happen.

 

I was previously of the opinion whilst death was what they deserve, it was fun to keep watching the car crash stumble on, if for nothing else than our daily entertainment and general hilarity. And above all, I didn't want to lose our captivating rivalry. But it has to stop somewhere, and the toothless Football League making a mockery of their own competition by continuing to allow them to keep flicking the V's at all the other Clubs who do cut their cloth accordingly, is the final straw for me.

 

It is a f*cking disgrace. And through all this, the print and broadcast media always remain strangely, outrageously silent in regards to the blatant unfairness of it all, and the endless 'special treatment' afforded to the feckless few.

 

It's like the Emperor's new clothes. Everyone knows they're not wearing any, but for some utterly bizarre reason, no-one seems to have the testicles to just say it like it is: "You're f*cking stark b*llock NAKED p*mpey!!!"

 

I've had enough of this car crash . Had enough of the football world in general and the media's tepid response of "move along now folks, nothing to see here, it's just p*mpey innit!"

 

So you can stick your rivalry up your fatpipes.

 

As Jack so eloquently put it in a film we all know and love:

 

"F*ck you, f*ck fight club, f*ck Marla, I am sick of all your sh*t!"

 

 

 

Just f*cking die now; you f*cking cheating skate c*nts!

Halo, I have to say that your posting is a true example of how quality over quantity can work. Apart from expressing just how vile the spin from down the road has become so eloquently, You also made me laugh out loud at the 'plucky Pompey' song.

 

Genuine red wine to IPad moment.

Welcome back PES, surprised you have bothered to come back on this thread as it's not one for debate these days.

 

I'm not sure the comparison is quite fair seeing as our current owners just wiped off all our debt (monies to buy the club and then to finance transfers and high wages) so they have thankfully shown themselves to be responsible people looking to take the club forward not use the club as a play thing all the time doing at the fans expense. Don't worry fans will be keeping a close eye on our accounts and if I ever get an invitation to dine with Cortese I'll raise this issue with him.

 

Not quote sure where the idea that we are paying way too much comes from though. Certainly our wages were huge for league 1, sizeable for the championship, but now in the top flight, I expect they will be relatively modest *****il we sign 10 more Ramirez's of course). I don't think we've got Scumball/Defoe/James size wages just yet to pull us into the mire.

 

Personally I've questioned our spending throughout our rise, especially the uncertainty surrounding the debt figure on our accounts, but with that being cleared off I am not sure what there is to question just yet. With ST prices pretty high now, is £30k a week too much for our board to be paying our top players? If we've got a relegation reduction clause (I hope so) then this will not be an issue. We don't have a huge bank loan that can be called in at any point (like PFc did) so even relegation wouldn't take us to the brink, would it?

 

In fairness Ches, you put a little more thought into it than most. I only popped back because I really wanted to highlight how 'Saints' fans reactions to spunking money are no different to your average 'Pompey' fans reaction at the time in 2007 when we went crazy, before the true illegalities of the Al Mirage era, which gets us treated with such moral indignation. The indignation Is so flipping false, it's just hatred dressed up as moral indignation, the hatred is fine, it's part of what cements our respective alegences, it's the dressing it up as something that it's not that so gut churning.

 

I genuinely really, really hate scummers, except the ones who are my mates or family and most of the ones I've met personally and the ones who work with my wife, oh! and that cyclist who got the gold medal for Team GB. But I won't be writing to HMRC or the media or the FL regarding any of your future misdemeanors and I can honestly say no Pompey fans I know have or would fire off 'Disgusted of Drayton' emails. It's not the Pompey way, just sneaky, snide, tell tale scummers do that, many frequenting this thread, some spunking off over your recent record signings.......

It's not false and it's not just us.

 

If you really think there is no sensible reason for fans of other clubs to be utterly disgusted with Portsmouth then you are either thick, a ****, or lacking in imagination.

Whoa, the plucky p*mpey

Knees bent pants down,

"F*ck you, f*ck fight club, f*ck Marla, I am sick of all your sh*t!"

 

 

 

Just f*cking die now; you f*cking cheating skate c*nts!

 

 

I so empathise with this post. I was getting absolutely furious whilst reading it.

 

One of my kids has just turned round to me tonight and said he wants to quit playing football. He basically said he is sick of the fundamental injustice built into football; we live in a small village but because he wasnt born there, he gets left on the the bench in favour of less talented kids and gets little coaching support compared to the "locals". He is really down. He is 8 years old, FFS.

 

I havent even explained to him what goes on at the higher levels, citing Pompey as a perfect example.

 

We just watched 2.5 weeks of what sport is all about on TV, in glorious Technocolour. I am really thinking of nudging my kids in the directions of the new sports that left them starry-eyed in front of the TV and turning my back on this rancid sh*t-hole of a sport completely.

 

I'll find a Southampton team in some other sport to support.

It's not the Pompey way, just sneaky, snide, tell tale scummers do that, many frequenting this thread, some spunking off over your recent record signings.......

 

You had the option to pay the charities, or buy into the cup run how may times have this said dont just ignore it. You are the worst of all cheating the tax payer out of of money that could of gone to local hospitals and schools for the next five years. By the way we were are are not never owned by cheating arms dealers, tax evaders or money launderders. Now please f off and die !

How can Poopey afford to bring good League 1 players in whilst in Admin that other League 1/2 clubs can ill afford? It is staggering that the FL can just stand by and let them do it. Any other club wouldn't get a look in, so why them? There is even talk of players being given six month loan deals to Pompey. WTF!! How? The club is still in admin, the only credible buyers are the PST that have questionable amount of finance let alone all the questions re creditors, money owed to players issues, paying for the ground etc, I do not see how they can conduct business as a normal football club considering they are, at present, in so much debt and have no means of continuing beyond the next month. Pure utter madness and other L1 clubs must be very annoyed that the FL are sitting back and letting them do it.

In fairness Ches, you put a little more thought into it than most. I only popped back because I really wanted to highlight how 'Saints' fans reactions to spunking money are no different to your average 'Pompey' fans reaction at the time in 2007 when we went crazy, before the true illegalities of the Al Mirage era, which gets us treated with such moral indignation. The indignation Is so flipping false, it's just hatred dressed up as moral indignation, the hatred is fine, it's part of what cements our respective alegences, it's the dressing it up as something that it's not that so gut churning.

You'll find true moral indignation in here from people who feel their sense of justice violated by Pompey. But also hatred, disbelief, excitement, superiority, curiosity etc. We come in all sorts and sizes ;)

 

And notice that you are not banned on sight in here for being a rival fan. However icy the tone may be, you've had a list of serious responses to your previous posting... That's a darn sight better than the shoot first ask questions later policy on POL if you ask me...

 

As for the comparison, yes the immediate reaction may be similar, but as pointed out we have reason to suspect that we can afford these players whereas it was obvious that there was a mismatch between income and expenses for PFC leading up to the 2008 squad. Heck, even Claridge admits this was the case.

It's not false and it's not just us.

 

If you really think there is no sensible reason for fans of other clubs to be utterly disgusted with Portsmouth then you are either thick, a ****, or lacking in imagination.

 

Yeah but what the f*ck has that got to do with me? I live in a modest house, live well within my means and save for a rainy day. It's not my fault if through legalities the club got used for god knows what by 'foreign investors'. I just support my team, will never turn my back on them, I am contributing to hopefully own a small part of the club so we the fans can know what the 'real' financial situation is and make sure it never happens again. But turn my back on Pompey? Never.

 

Pompey are many things you say we are, but we have a collective identity with our city Southampton will never have, we genuinely dig in and fight and if we have become 'outcasts' or be viewed as 'pariahs' so be it, it'll be of no interest soon. As you're a Scummer you will never understand, we clearly have different ideas of how permanent the bond is between fan and club. That so many on here would even contemplate that we would wish our club die, or be embarressed by it is genuinely inconceivable to me, maybe 'cos you're right about my intelligence? Or maybe 'cos I'm not an insecure scummer, worried about how the outside world perceives me?

 

Pompey always dig in. We DON'T boo our players when they don't meet our expectations, we have NEVER piped crowd noises into our ground to enhance an atmosphere, we DON'T cry when we get relegated or lose a Cup final and we don't have 70'000 odd posts in a thread about you lot and never would.

 

You lot just keep writing letters and emails to football authorities, HMRC and the government about your nasty neighbours, that seems to be the Southampton way. Pathetic if this is what football rivalries has become. Maybe you're trend setters? In 2020 Danny Dyer will make a program featuring Saints fans and their orchestrated letter writing campaign? Sad c*nts.

 

Oh one more thing, please do your Adam Lallana camp wave whenever you get the opportunity, so we can see it on MOTD, Funniest moment in a long time, have you done it since you showed it us at Fratton thinking we'd be impressed? I thought not. X X X

Thanks to your response it was done on an even more regular basis after that game. As for mocking the "camp wave", you have a demented, grown man in fancy dress who rings a bell for 90mins. I know what I'd rather.

 

A few minor errors in your post;

 

1. I've seen numerous Skates wishing that the club would just go under so you can start again.

2. You do worry about how the world perceives you, hence you constantly harping on about being the best fans in the world.

3. You don't always dig in. You didn't sell out one single game during your 'Pack the Park' campaign in your hour of need. Did you even sell out a game last season, other than against us?

4. You have boo'd your players, managers and protested against your board in the past.

5. Your vomit inducing love-in with Henry was one of the most cringe-worthy things I've ever seen at a football game. Like a bunch of star struck 10 year old girls at a JLS concert. Makes our piped crowd noise incident seem almost ok.

 

Oh and please stop with 'the whole world is against us' attitude, it's not necessary and a little bit embarrassing. You're a small club that are annoying the fellow small clubs in your league by repeatedly failing to live within your means. Other than us who find your whole situation hilarious, nobody is particularly bothered about your demise and nobody will really miss you when you're gone.

You take the easy solution: "I just get behind the club no matter what". That's great, but you are actually allowed to be critical towards your club without being a lesser fan. I know it takes effort, and it may even get in the way of ambition and ... sigh ... being competitive, but win at any cost really isn't anything to boast about. So people on here may actually believe that some Pompey fans might really feel embarrased over how the club has screwed over so many creditors, bend every rule in the book, bend every unwritten rule in the unwritten book, showed a shocking lack of respect for their local community and the whole footballing world, and that maybe a small dose of humility might be a good idea. But no, Pompey always 'dig in', mislead by that wonderfully absurd idea that the club is entitled to be competitive at any time, no matter what the circumstances. Don't deny it, it's the same embarrasing song we've heard from so many Pompey fans ever since Riquelme got lost at the airport, we heard it in the championship and we're hearing it in League One. If you get relegated you'll have the honours of whining about not being competitive in the top four leagues in England - quite a feat! ;)

 

On the whole, mistaking your deliberate ignorance of the clubs dealings with diehard fanship just seems the easy way - and most certainly nothing to be proud of. It's not the scummers that are insecure - it's those who are afraid to take responsibility for the actions made by their club, always blaming it on CSI, Portpin, Chainrai, Lampitt, Kanu, Birch, Redknapp, FL etc. - never, ever the fans. And subsequently you never feel the need to step lightly, 'cause it's not your fault. Going to Gibraltar instead of paying back creditors? Fine, it's not your fault. Getting 10 players in when the club is almost almost drained economically? Fine, you need to be competitive.

 

Pompey always dig in. We DON'T boo our players when they don't meet our expectations

 

No, but you gang up on them when they want to get paid for playing for the splendid club, hounding them out of town. Mob mentality at it's worst, and you proudly admit it. And as for the fighting spirit from the fans: it would be slightly more credible to hear others call you the bestest fans in the whole wide world instead of hearing it on a daily basis from yourselves. Yes, I'm fully aware that you actually believe it and we can discuss it from here to PFC2015 Ltd. without agreeing, but would it be possible to have fewer of those cringeworthy award ceremonies where you both give and receive the award yourselves? It's masturbation, at least get a handjob from someone FFS.

 

we DON'T cry when we get relegated or lose a Cup final and we don't have 70'000 odd posts in a thread about you lot and never would

 

We were the ones showing banners to the miserable Arsenal fans saying "cheer up, you won", and as for the 70.000 posts of course not, that would take too much effort from the 10ish members that are left after the carnage on POL ;)

 

Oh one more thing, please do your Adam Lallana camp wave whenever you get the opportunity, so we can see it on MOTD, Funniest moment in a long time, have you done it since you showed it us at Fratton thinking we'd be impressed? I thought not. X X X

 

Ha ha, must do better trolling next time. Admitting that you'll be watching us on MOTD? :)

As I've spent the last three years of my life, following every page of this most stunning rollercoaster of a topic; variously chuckling quietly to myself, or laughing out loud in genuine hysterics at the priceless comedy, tutting under my breath as they get away with yet something else again, tearing my hair out as they add insult to injury, and even on occasions, temporarily taking leave of my usual calm and balanced demeanor to hurl the odd tirade of obscenities at my monitor upon reading of yet more spurious skate skullduggery, with a few random exceptions, I've usually kept my own counsel, and just enjoyed reading all the fantastic contributions from so many dedicated 'nutjobs'.

 

This evening is a little different however.

 

As the Minister of P*mpey Disinformation - gleefully, arrogantly, boastfully, and infuriatingly smugly "ticked off" a list of names via his dedicated personal propaganda outlet, - something gave way within me.

 

There was a raw, deafening, sickening shattering sound, that reverberated right through me, as the camel's back finally snapped, splintering into something approaching three hundred million shards, as it succumbed to the pressure of just that one flicking V-shaped straw too many.

 

Genuine anger, coursed through me in waves, and found its outlet of expression, in the form of fingers tracing keys, and these words pouring out across the blank canvass of this page, like crimson splattering across pristine unspoiled snow, following an explosive blast. If I'm honest, even in such a slow to anger man as I, it had been slowly building within me, for some time now. Like a coiled cobra, awaiting to strike and spit venom.

 

Neil Allen was merely the sanctimonious incendiary device.

 

Something about the manner of his delivery, had images of that iconic shot of Lowe with the f*cking inane smug smirk etched across his face, rampaging through my mind, and calling down the descending red mists, as if by some ancient pagan incantations, heralding the falling of fire from heaven.

 

All throughout this most captivating "Saga", - the twists and the turns, the exasperation and the laughter, coffee over keyboards, quality over quantity, and a catalogue of really dumbuya's, - I always managed to retain a sense of perspective. "It's just football, and not worth losing my rag over".

 

But, it's not just football though, is it. We're talking about a serially corrupt, criminal operation, that has destroyed lives, financially raped and pillaged, consistently rode roughshod over not just sporting rules, but the laws of nation states, gets off with a slap on the wrist, the slate effectively 'wiped clean', and then immediately re-embarks upon its preferred lifestyle of a serial rampant rapist, without the slightest remorse. Rinse and repeat. Rape. Rinse and repeat.

 

From Serbian tax cheats, to Israeli Arms dealers, convicted fraudsters popping up to 'lend a hand' with the accounts, the ice-cream man to the invisible man, an administration and a Hong Kong loan shark, the FA's "Head of Integrity" to the Russian Mafia, back to the loan shark and have another administration.

 

Business as usual at Fatpipes Park.

 

 

You put f*ck all in,

you take three hundred mill out:

in admin, out, in admin, out

you fake sheik it all about.

You do the plucky p*mpey,

and you turn around,

debt's what it's all about!

 

 

Whoa, the plucky p*mpey

Whoa, the plucky p*mpey

Whoa, the plucky p*mpey,

Knees bent pants down,

Rah rah rah!

 

 

Seven years (or is it eight now? I've lost count!) of living on the "tick" like there's no tomorrow, shafting anyone in sight with the naivety to do business with them, taking what's not theirs and endlessly spunking it all up the wall, like Eddie Mitchell at a "free bar". "What do you mean we've got to pay for it?!?" "It's p*mpey, innit mush!"

 

For some utterly bizarre, insular, island dwelling reason that I simply cannot begin to fathom, p*mpey think they are a "special case", and that the rules do not apply to them. The saddest thing is, that to a certain extent at least, the so called "Governing Body" of our game, seem to actually agree with them!

 

How??? Just how the f*ck can they possibly be allowed to "sign" these new players? Transfer embargo or not, "non contract monthly contracts" or not, sanctions not coming into effect until exiting administration or not, these serially offending cheating c*nts have just spent the past seven years, clocking up and blowing off nigh on £300 MILLION pounds of 'debt' that they likely never had the slightest intention of settling, and f*ck the tax on that, cos "it's p*mpey innit". P*ssing multi millions of other people's money down the fat infested Fratton drains, 'agree' CVA, stick two fingers up at CVA, plunder the life savings of poor Lithuanian pensioners, rack up another near £60 Mill of debt, again, don't worry about tax cos "it's p*mpey innit", 'agree' another CVA you'll never pay, never learn your lessons, carry on regardless.

 

And now here we are. UnAppy bemoaning the "slightly unprofessional" approach of your paymaster telling you it's time to live within your means, all ninety five minutes worth of playing a group of players you can actually (maybe - kind of) 'afford', and despite everything that has gone before, and f*cking over yet more creditors, in come ten new players other League One teams can't afford, to keep up p*mpey's 'divine right' to be "competitive".

 

Whilst the club is teetering on the verge of liquidation.

 

And the bumbling old Football League fools just stand idly by and watch this sick sh*t happen.

 

I was previously of the opinion whilst death was what they deserve, it was fun to keep watching the car crash stumble on, if for nothing else than our daily entertainment and general hilarity. And above all, I didn't want to lose our captivating rivalry. But it has to stop somewhere, and the toothless Football League making a mockery of their own competition by continuing to allow them to keep flicking the V's at all the other Clubs who do cut their cloth accordingly, is the final straw for me.

 

It is a f*cking disgrace. And through all this, the print and broadcast media always remain strangely, outrageously silent in regards to the blatant unfairness of it all, and the endless 'special treatment' afforded to the feckless few.

 

It's like the Emperor's new clothes. Everyone knows they're not wearing any, but for some utterly bizarre reason, no-one seems to have the testicles to just say it like it is: "You're f*cking stark b*llock NAKED p*mpey!!!"

 

I've had enough of this car crash . Had enough of the football world in general and the media's tepid response of "move along now folks, nothing to see here, it's just p*mpey innit!"

 

So you can stick your rivalry up your fatpipes.

 

As Jack so eloquently put it in a film we all know and love:

 

"F*ck you, f*ck fight club, f*ck Marla, I am sick of all your sh*t!"

 

 

 

Just f*cking die now; you f*cking cheating skate c*nts!

 

Seriously. This has to make the top 10 posts ever on this thread. Well done that man.

I quite understand where you're coming from. How can it possibly be the fans fault? They don't own the f'ing club.

The record for the 1995-96 season.

 

http://uk.ask.com/wiki/1995%E2%80%9396_Portsmouth_F.C._season

 

Didn't exactly pack the park against Oldham, Huddersfield and Grimsby. Average attendance that season: 9,406. Lowest home attendance: 6,002 (v Oldham) Highest: 14,434 (v Derby)

 

The following season saw the arrival of Terry Venables, who bought the club for a nominal £1. Fresh from Euro 96, Venables arrival was supposed to herald a new era for the club. You might want to look away now.

 

Average home attendance: 8,857. Lowest home attendance: 5,579 (v Southend), Highest home attendance: 12, 841 (v Manchester City). This in a season where p****y reached the FA Cup quarter-final and finished three points shy of the play-offs in seventh place.

 

Work took me to several games at Fratton Park during those times and for anyone to say that p****y fans do not boo their own team has a very selective memory, or is deluded. The vitriol directed at Fenwick and Venables at times was quite shocking.
