Dear Best Fans In The World™

 

What a bunch of despicable, shameless gutter-turds you are.

 

So much so, I don't even know where to begin.

 

If you're not robbing cancer charities or local businesses, you're busy shafting local football clubs doing you a favour because of your own self-indulgent, incompetent bumkinite manager Clotterill. And if you're not out doing that, you're out spending the cash of 50m+ taxpayers, your creditors or a wedge of filthy lucre covered with blood from maimed African children.

 

Still, you beat the "scum" 4-1 and you won the cup, so that's all that matters, isn't it? And you wouldn't trade those moments of true, impartial glory for anything, would you?

 

Apparently, we're scum. Ha, if only.

 

You filthy f()cking sh1tbags have the audacity to call (and continue to do so) us scum on the bizarre hearsay concocted by a deranged fish-fiddler many years ago. It probably didn't happen but I'd rather we broke a picket line than break a bank or - worse still - a million children's bones. Still, you beat the "scum" 4-1 and won the cup, so that's all that matters, isn't it?

 

You had the incredulity to question Herr Liebherr's background, with many of you labelling him a nazi tank driver (which was probably a little wide of the mark, considering he wasn't even born) yet whilst you were spunking people's hard earned cash and shredding the invoices, you did little to question your own chairmen's morality and ethics. Oh, you were having too much fun, were you? Quite a ride, was it? Oh, good ol' plucky Pompey!

 

Still, you've had England internationals grace the Fratton Park 'arena' and that's all that matters, isn't it?

 

We hear incessantly about your supposed loyal and vocal fanbase, yet you have been outsupported by ourselves, a full 2 leagues lower (and one league, last year) over the past two seasons. You're so well supported, in fact, you couldn't even shift your 26,000 for a Wembley FA Cup final. For those of you who can't recall, it was the year you beat "the scum" 4-1 en-route to the final whilst trading insolvently - not the year you had assembled a team of international footballers you couldn't afford and beat Cardiff 1-0 in the final; whilst trading insolvently, of course.

 

250,000 on Southsea common yet no more than 200 in the away ends at Wigan, Blackburn, Boro, Sunderland and Villa on more than one occasion, it's about time we put this Best Fans In The World™ myth to rest, once and for all. Still, Thierry Henry wore the Pompey shirt and clapped back at you as his Arsenal side demolished you mongy-blue ar5ewipes 5-1 and you wouldn't trade that glorious night at Fratton for anything, would you? Not even for a share in Spyker?

 

You've lied, cheated, stolen and bankrupted your way into football's history books and escaped justice off-the-field on more than one occasion. You've revelled in the faux-glory of Europe, cup wins, cup finals and Premier League football, flicking the V's to all and sundry as another fit-and-proper rolls into Fratton promising good times. You're a dirty, cheap whore of a football club, smacked out on an artificial high knowing that someone, somewhere, will bail out your rotten carcass for a quickie in one of the adjoining p1ss-soaked alleys of Frogmore Road. You should be ashamed, but you're not.

 

Still, you beat the "scum" 4-1 and won the cup, so that's all that matters, isn't it?

 

You've bleated about how unfair you've been treated when it's been anything but. You've alluded to a world football conspiracy plotting against you, when it isn't. In fact, thousands of you still do not get that comparing your monolithic and irresponsible overspend and subsequent debt does not correlate with the rest of the Premier League's debt.

 

Here's a clue; The clubs in debt in the Premier League have serviceable debt. Here's another clue; They pay their bills, on-time, every month. And here's a final clue; All of them can muster a few thousand more at their home and away fixtures, irrespective of their league position and 'disenchantment with the cost of football'.

 

You may have escaped justice off-the-field but you're about to brought to rights on it, you d1rty c()nt5. I for one cannot wait.

Crabby old boy, are you mischievously Ho-baiting?...

When he comes back with one of his mind-numbingly pedantic and boring explanations for every point in that rant, it'll be your fault!

 

And you left out the bit about the Arsenal game where they cheered the opposition once the game was lost, but prior to that had been dishing out homophobic and mental illness abuse to their future hero and unpaid cup final captain.

Just another little rewrite of history and those songs can be forgotten.

Nasty spurs fans should be locked up, yeah check out the Arsenal game a couple of years earlier before you get on your high horse about that one buddy.

 

Pales into insignificance when you think that there is a cancer charity out there short of funds tonight yet Lampitt is counting up the cash from Havant and Waterlooville.

How do they sleep.

 

 

 

Anyway, I 4-1 am looking forward to us reclaiming our position above the few.

 

We've been below them for about six years, I'm hoping we have to wait less than 70 hours for the return of sanity to the south coast.

 

In fact, if Nicola steamrolls his masterplan through, these may be the last three days that pompey are above us for a generation.

There's a thought.

Ahh, poor Crabby. Did it hurt that much?

 

You're getting upset about thw rong things though. You're thinking we call you scum as an adjective and we don't, we use it as a noun. We don't think you're all scum of the earth (although quite a few on here would seem to fit the description) it's just the name we call you. You're scum and you live in Scumhampton/ Scumpton.

 

PS: You forgot, it's two 4 - 1's and a cup win. Might as well be acurate about it, eh?

Well,they must have some money to spend.......

 

 

Or not....

 

The Blues have had at least four bids rejected for the 24-year-old over the past six weeks.

 

But the Clarets cannot be tempted to do business.

 

Perhaps the Clarets can't be tempted to do business due to the structure of the deal Pompey put together, like buy now, pay when we go bust again....

 

£2.5m is a LOT of money to turn down for an injury prone striker, but not if there's no chance of seeing the cash!

I feel so sorry for Clotterill. Oh how bad the league was for putting Pompey on the back foot so soon. At least they have (some) cover for the CB position....lol.

 

But at least this made me laugh:

 

‘He is a really good communicator, although we think there are things he needs to brush up on and tidy up.

 

‘But he is a real 100-per-center and it is great having such a young boy on board.

 

‘I believe, 100 per cent, that Jason will come through. He might take some time to adjust but he will come through.

 

He can't speak Skate yet, it seems. But then, could you ever learn Skate when the thick fans don't get it? One such reply to that news story...

It's ridiculous that a ban incurred by a player when appearing for a former club is carried over. In these circumstances surely it would be better to fine the player so the new club isn't punished by their absense. Much like clubs whose previous owners are in charge when they go in to administration and then sold, the new owners incur the points deduction. There must be a better way of resolving these situations so new and solid ownership don't have an extra battle to fight?

It did hurt that much. It hurt every taxpayer, local schools, charities, workers at PFC, their less moronic fans, yes Corp, it hurt. It hurt football in this country and sadly continues to do so.

 

But your little mind can't quite register it. Or maybe it can, but you're desperately trying not to let it. I'm not sure which is worse.

 

Your club, whatever the hell it is, didn't win a cup. It didn't beat us, it didn't beat anyone. It was just a random group of unpaid for mercenaries who didn't give a toss what they were doing to the club. Yet it seems you want more of them. We all want success whoever we support, but somewhere along the line you have to step back and decide if you want it at all costs. I wouldn't, and I don't think many true football fans would. It cost you something it could take many years to get back, if ever. You act like that and you lose the essence of your club, it either stands for nothing, or worse, it stands for corruption, cheating, fraud and promoting short term footballing success above all else, above paying debts, above the works of charities, above educating local children, above respecting your own fans, the people that work at your club.

 

So yes, it hurts, and if it doesn't hurt you then that brain is working even more slowly than I'd anticipated.

 

So, if it had been Saints that everything happened to instead of Pompey what would your fans have done differently yo how Pompey fans have reacted?

I have morals, so I would have disowned them. Alas, it seems, you do not, thus, you continue to defend the indefensible. By the way, we'd like your viewpoint on the H&W fiasco, you know, the one where your grotty little club has demanded half the gate fees!

I know its easy to say when we have the moral high ground but I can honestly say I would have ditched the shambles that was and campaigned for an AFC Southampton. To carry on supporting a club that through various owners have fleeced so many wouldnt sit well with me. Sure some would stick around and stay with the club much like MK Dons. But an honest group of true supporters would split and start a fresh, gaining superb support from the true football comunity nation wide. Alot can be said for pride and passion. More than league position or highly paid mercinarys.

The thick skates just do not get it... dont try and ask for a moral view/stand-point, you just wont get any level of consideration at all.

 

I would be absolutely devastated if my club acted in this way, and simply stunned if it continued.

 

From Milan to Vladimir, the blue phew have embraced criminality and general despicable behaviour all the way. You have been whored around the likes of Serbia, Arabia, Russia, Isreal, Dubai, Lithuania et al and they dont wear protection... the dirty cheating ****ing skate bastards are a DISEASE

 

This latest mafia esque robbery of H&W really tops it off, how low can you really go... not much lower before they are bullying local pub teams out of there post match beer kitty - Roman and Vladimir will order a vodka each, place the revolvers on the table, and do the Devonshire Arms for all its got... then burn it down probably.

Ah but Corp, Saints fan did actively question the leadership, several times - over several years.

 

For what it's worth, I was a fierce Lowe-loyalist (in a very small minority there, believe me) but thousands of fans did take action, protesting regularly, actively boycotting and paying for a flypast banner from their own pocket. The Echo also led the charge as well - unlike The News who appear to just gloss everything over and pander to the simple IQ's of it's many readers.

 

You only have to look at this board and it's previous incarnations to deduce that the clubs actions is often questioned by the fans - however seemingly trivial some of the reasoning might be.

 

Bend over for another shafting, Corpy... here come the Ruskies!

I can only speak for myself, not thousands of others, but yes, I definitely would have acted differently. I'd have been extremely suspicious about where all the money was coming from, and concerned about the future of the club. I was concerned enough when our board in 2007 gave a relatively big amount of money to Burley to be wasted. It was gambling the club and I didn't like it.

 

It went wrong and massive cuts were needed. So I didn't complain about us playing kids and selling off all the players. It needed to be done and we went down. We got lucky finding new owners who actually had a decent background, clear funding and and some long term planning. Very lucky indeed.

 

I struggle with the money in football at the best of times. I don't like the greed, the short term approach, the advantage taken of fans, ticket prices and the fact average or poor players earn a doctors salary each week. So if my club had acted like yours over the years, I'd be really struggling to support them. I'd definitely wonder what the hell it is I'm supporting.

 

I know quite a few Pompey fans, many are decent people, many intelligent. They aren't comfortable with what's happened to their club. They don't drone on about beating us or any relative success. Do you know why? Because they don't want to focus on that time, they're actually slightly uncomfortable with it. Even if we put aside the fact it was fraudulently brought about, it's clearly now in the past. Nearly all those players are gone, you're a different team, if you are one, in a different league, with different owners. We're a different team, in a different league. So it's consigned to the record books. I'd personally like to see clubs in administration kicked out of cup competitions. I don't care if it's Pompey or not, it just doesn't seem right to be able to keep progressing with unpaid for players and loans while embarassing the league.

 

I know you try to focus on the rivalry and bring up the derby game to stop people analysing the bigger picture, but not all your fans are like that. I think that's what answers your question. It doesn't have to be how would Saints fans have reacted, there are many PFC fans who reacted with a whole lot more dignity and common sense than you. I wouldn't care so much if it was just a local rivalry issue, but it isn't. As i've said before, the last few years haven't made me dislike Pompey more, it's made me dislike football more. Clubs cannot continue to act like this. Yours was an extreme case, taking the **** like no other i've seen, and so blatantly. I hope other clubs don't follow suit but the example is there for them. At some point action will have to be taken, whether against you or someone else, and I bet when it happens to a smaller club, they'll be left thinking 'but Pompey got away with it'.

 

So enjoy the faux success or whatever you want to call it in your mind. I don't know any football fans who survive solely on the past. Football support is about hope, over the top expectations, optimism and above all else, the future. Your fans won't be thinking about past results once the season kicks off, or over the next few years. I'll be amazed if Pompey are as high as they are now in 5 years time. Short term I'm sure you can scrape a half decent season together from loans, a small expensive squad etc. But how long can that last? There just doesn't seem to be anything about the club anymore. I'm not looking forward to the derby games and i always did in the past. Beating you won't make up for anything, I don't even want us playing you.

 

But i know it's stupid thinking I can get through to you, and I know you'll disappear when Pompey lose and come back when they win. You'll humiliated yourself on here for years yet still manage to bury that away in some dark blue place in your mind and come back for more. So good luck with it all. Trust me, in my 30 years, I've had nearly 25 of them with Saints very much above Pompey. Then 5 years of fraud while we plummeted, which looking back was probably needed. I think we all know which way the next few years will go, and I know i wouldn't want to swap.

 

Goodbye Pompey, goodbye Corp, and here's hoping football can recover without you.

 

Good post.

Dear Best Fans In The World™

 

What a bunch of despicable, shameless gutter-turds you are.

 

So much so, I don't even know where to begin.

 

If you're not robbing cancer charities or local businesses, you're busy shafting local football clubs doing you a favour because of your own self-indulgent, incompetent bumkinite manager Clotterill. And if you're not out doing that, you're out spending the cash of 50m+ taxpayers, your creditors or a wedge of filthy lucre covered with blood from maimed African children.

 

Still, you beat the "scum" 4-1 and you won the cup, so that's all that matters, isn't it? And you wouldn't trade those moments of true, impartial glory for anything, would you?

 

Apparently, we're scum. Ha, if only.

 

You filthy f()cking sh1tbags have the audacity to call (and continue to do so) us scum on the bizarre hearsay concocted by a deranged fish-fiddler many years ago. It probably didn't happen but I'd rather we broke a picket line than break a bank or - worse still - a million children's bones. Still, you beat the "scum" 4-1 and won the cup, so that's all that matters, isn't it?

 

You had the incredulity to question Herr Liebherr's background, with many of you labelling him a nazi tank driver (which was probably a little wide of the mark, considering he wasn't even born) yet whilst you were spunking people's hard earned cash and shredding the invoices, you did little to question your own chairmen's morality and ethics. Oh, you were having too much fun, were you? Quite a ride, was it? Oh, good ol' plucky Pompey!

 

Still, you've had England internationals grace the Fratton Park 'arena' and that's all that matters, isn't it?

 

We hear incessantly about your supposed loyal and vocal fanbase, yet you have been outsupported by ourselves, a full 2 leagues lower (and one league, last year) over the past two seasons. You're so well supported, in fact, you couldn't even shift your 26,000 for a Wembley FA Cup final. For those of you who can't recall, it was the year you beat "the scum" 4-1 en-route to the final whilst trading insolvently - not the year you had assembled a team of international footballers you couldn't afford and beat Cardiff 1-0 in the final; whilst trading insolvently, of course.

 

250,000 on Southsea common yet no more than 200 in the away ends at Wigan, Blackburn, Boro, Sunderland and Villa on more than one occasion, it's about time we put this Best Fans In The World™ myth to rest, once and for all. Still, Thierry Henry wore the Pompey shirt and clapped back at you as his Arsenal side demolished you mongy-blue ar5ewipes 5-1 and you wouldn't trade that glorious night at Fratton for anything, would you? Not even for a share in Spyker?

 

You've lied, cheated, stolen and bankrupted your way into football's history books and escaped justice off-the-field on more than one occasion. You've revelled in the faux-glory of Europe, cup wins, cup finals and Premier League football, flicking the V's to all and sundry as another fit-and-proper rolls into Fratton promising good times. You're a dirty, cheap whore of a football club, smacked out on an artificial high knowing that someone, somewhere, will bail out your rotten carcass for a quickie in one of the adjoining p1ss-soaked alleys of Frogmore Road. You should be ashamed, but you're not.

 

Still, you beat the "scum" 4-1 and won the cup, so that's all that matters, isn't it?

 

You've bleated about how unfair you've been treated when it's been anything but. You've alluded to a world football conspiracy plotting against you, when it isn't. In fact, thousands of you still do not get that comparing your monolithic and irresponsible overspend and subsequent debt does not correlate with the rest of the Premier League's debt.

 

Here's a clue; The clubs in debt in the Premier League have serviceable debt. Here's another clue; They pay their bills, on-time, every month. And here's a final clue; All of them can muster a few thousand more at their home and away fixtures, irrespective of their league position and 'disenchantment with the cost of football'.

 

You may have escaped justice off-the-field but you're about to brought to rights on it, you d1rty c()nt5. I for one cannot wait.

 

Rant of the week. Love it :D

 

Holepuncture would be proud of that one.

Enjoy Corp while it lasts folk as once it becomes apparent what a ****poor squad they have you won't be seeing much more of him for a while.

 

It's funny that he bangs on about a couple of emphatic victories (although one was scarcely deserved) when we enjoyed generations above them and are about to do so again. Five year blip is over.

Have a read Folks, Points deduction looming.

 

Be sure to zoom in and read the doc`s at the bottom of the page.

Not read the doc but the article seems to sum it up well. Still be surprised on a points deduction but at least it gives us some more to laugh at on slow news days.

 

Seems fairly sure they were trying to evade tax by the looks of it though. Some pretty nifty lawyers will prob make it look like they were just helping out the local girl guides in Florida/Monaco ;)

I can't see any points deduction in the offing. So much water has passed under the bridge since those lot were at Poopey that deducting them points would be, to me, punishing the wrong people.

 

Think they will go after those that evaded tax more than the club. But if the tax was evaded in the clubs name then they will and should go after the club too. Would be no more than a fine though as the heavier punishment will go to the people proven to have done the evading.

I think Saints fans should bombard the league with emails pointing out what happened to Luton for minor offences committed by previous owners and employees.

 

It would be so sweet to contribute to Skates getting a points penalty. It would make me feel really warm and happy.

I think that the League are well aware of the Luton situation but sadly, Poopey are not like any other club and can apparently get away with anything. It`s a puzzle.

Not really when the Luton directors faced 50 different charges and were deducted 10 points in relation to these, and Storrie (of who I believe is the only court case that relates to PFC) faces 2 charges

Sorry guys, can't have that link on here, we'd be in contempt of court.

 

Funny how the whole law system works. That info is freely available on the Internet via another country. Pretty much everyone has access to the Internet but it's not aloud to be spoken about in this country.

 

What's the point of a press black out if it's not world wide? A few times other country's have got round banning orders in the uk. Giggs for one by Scotland of all places.

 

It would probably serve the courts better if they stopped cases dragging out so much. The longer it goes on the more chance it will get leaked somehow and jeopardise the case.

Storries case is the only one explicitly being linked to PFC but surely the only direct relationship that Madaric and Redknapp had was based upon employment at PFC. To say it is not related to PFC is being economical.

 

Interesting that it was repeated that there was evidence of a pattern of payments but the case is only dealing with one or two specific payments. Beggars the question that if the authorities are successful will they then pursue other cases?

Perhaps they are using the same lot HMRC used and whom grasped defeat out of the jaws of victory :x:x

The violins are tuning up for poor old Pompey..........

 

From the head of sport at 'The News'........

When your own manager doesn't expect any signings before tomorrow then you've got to be worried. Not enough subs again for #Pompey

 

 

 

Even when you only have to name 5 subs this season that is shocking.

Is that a rule? Will they be penalised if they don't field 5 subs?
