Pompey Takeover Saga


Fitzhugh Fella

Recommended Posts

A veritable master class in 21st century poetry!

 

Very good, though I'd say the word 'Fickle' could just as easily apply to many Saints fans flooding through the Boxing Day Gates this afternoon, dont'cha think? Please ask them where they've been the last couple of years whilst others helped keep their club alive? Their pretty quick to turn up to 'Enjoy' the success earned by others. Sorry just as many Bandwagoneers with an SO postcode! Anyway, have a good boxing day i'm off the the IOW (Nah not Upton park, fickle **** that I am.) :D

We,re halfway down the equivalent of the old third division, I'll take 28,000 fickle fans against the side that cannot get 18,000 for a Premier League game.

It's Christmas Time,

Pompey are so, so afraid,

At Christmas Time,

Not Enough points from the games they've played,

....

 

.....

Where the crowds will slow go,

Because they are so oh fickle,

 

Fratton Park is a ****holeeeeeeeee

 

With respect Um Bongo, the Arsenal fans variation on this a few years ago, 'Feed The Yids' ,was probably better.

PORTSMOUTH

NEED: To get their Prem transfer ban lifted!

 

MONEY: Are you kidding? With the club committed to £8m of payments for previous signings, they do not have a penny and can only dream of loan deals.

 

TARGETS: First priority is to extend Jamie O'Hara's loan. Then persuade Spurs to also let them have striker Giovani Dos Santos on similar terms.

 

SURPLUS: Someone has to go just to pay the debts. Avram Grant will sacrifice Nadir Belhadj, John Utaka and maybe David James.

TBF I don`t think that having nearly 31,000 people at a "3rd Division" game for a mid-table team is purely down to "fickle" fans. It just shows that the level of support is there. Fickle fans (Glory Hunters) are the ones that will only turn up when a team is at the top level I would have thought

What about the fans who don't turn up even when their team is in the prem?

Best wishes to you too, most people know how to enjoy a rivalry, clearly your one of them. It's swings and roundabouts, it could very well soon be your time to crow again, most my Pompey supporting life has been spent at a time when Pompey have been inferior on the pitch to Saints, so as the sun sets on what'll probably be our 5 odd years of superiority, forgive me if I don't prematurely give up the assendancy just yet, especially with Saints two divisions below us. Even when you do pass us eventually (which surely has to happen sooner or later), then from our future downtrodden position forgive me again when I boringly dribble on about our 2 League Titles and 2 FA Cup wins to your paultry 1 FA Cup Triumph, which for a club with supposedly the largest support in the south is more than unimpressive(and which incidentaly with the way the game is now you'll never better), but then that is the real nature of a rivalry, or at any rate the kind of rivalry I want to partake in, anything more viscious, spiteful and humourless, i'll leave to others. :)

 

Huddersfield won it three times in a row, Wolves twice in row - since you won it.

 

The FA Cup is a relevant triumph. But no-one is interested, or impressed with your triumphs in a by-gone age, in a different game, unless you are in your 80's -then I hope you enjoyed it!

Absolutely, I cant be bothered excusing them, it's not my place too. People want excitement, like your having at the moment, I genuinely tip my hat to Saints and don't blame your excitement for the future, especially on the back of all the **** you've put up with the last couple of years, But it's always easy to support the team in good times, Hence Millions of Man Yoo fans. I'll be fair and answer honestly my opinion of many things if asked, but I aint going to pretend that ALL Saints are solid super great fans and ALL Pompey fans are 'Fickle' when thats just not the case. Also Pompey's Highest attendances of the Modern Era, where when we were clawing our way up the leagues in the 80's, not at our pinnacle in the Premier, some of the older more knowledgable Saints fans could confirm this, it really means nothing all it highlights is people want to share in the good times and many (to varying degrees) choose to duck out when it all goes abit ****. I don't believe the League you play in has any real bearing on it, if Pompey in 5 years times mount a Promotion charge in div 2, don't you think 15,000 odd fans would suddenly 'remember' how great it is being a Pompey fan? Of course they would, and it's gauling 'cos they should be queing up to feast on the same **** burger I'm currently being forced to munch on (But that aint human nature is it?)..... :(

But that's simply not true. You can't say you wouldn't 'rather' Saints had a Trophy winning history, even if you personally didn't get to personally witness it? It's illogical and proven wrong by the Saints fans under 35 who never witnessed Saints last FA Cup triumph and yet rightly will ALL of watched video of it and gotten a warm glow from something they never witnessed themselves.

Also, if it didn't matter why would I be so concerened that if Pompey do go Tits up we'd loose our records and Title acknowledgements and why would many Saints fans take such glee in it should we lose it as AFC Portsmouth? Would Saints fans want the Honours carried over? I Don't think so. :D

For what its worth PES,i hope Pompey never go to the wall because we need the rivalry to make things interesting.But i hope that Pompey fall until they are below us,so we retain the natural order of things and we get back the bragging rights.

Keep posting on here PES because its good to see things from your point of view.

LOL..calling over 30k fans turning up in the middle of division 3 against the mighty Exeter (biggest crowd outside the prem) is fickle..

 

good result today skate..lol

 

Great, very impressive crowd, I expect a 30,000+ turnout in ever game from now to the end of the year. What a great time to be a Saints fan. An unstoppable promotion surge, A massive feel good factor sweeping the city and game tickets at very reasonable prices, no excuse whasoever to get any less than 30,000 from now till your promotion party. I maintain that a sizable proportion of that crowd are 'Fickle'. You don't need them now, your on the cusp of the good times, surely you needed them last year prior to the arrival of the Swiss fellow, when you were dying on your f***ing feet, thats when you needed 30,000 not now. Bloody good time charlies, though I'm honest enough to admit freely its the same at all clubs to varying degrees, 200,000 people on Southsea common not 2 years ago? It makes me want to vomit and is why I won't talk football with most of the Pompey fans at work.

As much as I really REALLY dislike Pompey, who are we going to abuse if they go out of business? Fareham Town? H&W?? Eastleigh???

It just won't be the same without them.

I really hope they survive....but I can live with them suffering the same fate as we did with a points deduction and a relegation or two :D

Thanks Rock, funny 'cos I share exactly the same sentiments towards Southampton and to my mind, thats how it should be, anything beyond that and it's a complete loss of perspective and like some kind of mental illness.

I don't mind people having a laugh at Pompey's predicament, I've laughed at Saints loads until recently, not on here though, cos despite whatever perverse masochistic reason leads me to frequent this board, I remember this is a Saints messageboard and as i'm not a rude c***, I bite my lip and don't gloat (Not that there is much opportunity at the moment). Thats not to say that I won't argue with the deluded people on here that try to convince themselves of things that simply are not true.

I also accept that to be tolerated on a Saints messageboard I also have to take some of the more odious posters jibes on the chin, I guess if they can't get at the nasty horrible Pompey internet warriors (mostly on other boards) then they'll chip away at me, because funnily enough, i'm still here when it's all gone to ****. But hey, It's worth it cos so many of the posters on here, including you Rock, get it. :)

You can keep abusing their fans, even if they go out of business. I actually submit that it might be even more enjoyable.

I could just have easily said Romsey Town (seeing as that's my old local non-league team) as Eastleigh....

 

I was just making the point that we need a local LEAGUE team to generate some decent rivalry. I'm not petty enough to wish any club actually goes out of existence. Besides can you imagine the pathetic chants at the games if all we can muster up is some stupid little ditty about a non-league team???

There is nothing better for the soul on a Sunday morning after a Saints win than to come on here and read an article like that!

Thanks for starting my day so well.

Storrie doing a runner now - I thought he said he was down there trying to find investment, probably just wanted the skates to pay for the flight to his interview.

Rumour going around that pompey are for sale with asking price of £1 !

 

Probably not wrong but as part of the package the buyer would need to take on the debt. With so many factions involved who all own different parts of the ground/car park what do you get for your £1 other than a multi milion pound debt, Victorian stadium, no training ground and customers that wear "comedy" hats and ring bells.

Yep, that's right, the crowds are flocking to watch us mid-table L1 for the glory. :rolleyes:

 

I love watching your slow death. It's most satisfying.

Apart from owing millions to ex players, other clubs, agents, former owners, the inland revenue and various banks/loan sharks, the real worrying thing for Pompey is the fact that it looks like their ground is secured on a loan by a hong Kong businessman who is business partners with an Israeli property developer. And the land around it is owned by Gaydamak.

 

It looks like PFC's only assets are a bunch of players they can't afford to pay (probably more of a liability than asset) and their Premier League status (LOL).
