PES Posted 26 December, 2009 Share Posted 26 December, 2009 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.)

Tac-tics Posted 26 December, 2009 Share Posted 26 December, 2009 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.

NickG Posted 26 December, 2009 Share Posted 26 December, 2009 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!

PES Posted 26 December, 2009 Share Posted 26 December, 2009 What about the fans who don't turn up even when their team is in the prem? 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?).....

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a great time to be a Saints fan.

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.

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 ****.

aintforever Posted 27 December, 2009 Share Posted 27 December, 2009 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).
