How much do you hate P*rtsmouth?

Recommended Posts

Do you need a reason??? My dad thought it would be a good idea to move the family to Havent when I was 11, I walked round the town with my saints shirt as I didn't know about the rivalry, after being chased by 4 or5 teenage skates back to my house I did realise, I blame my dad for letting me out in a saints shirt. It was the only place I ever lived which I hated, weird insular people.

 

The very definition of irony.

LOL - You lost me with that last comment about knowing plenty of protestant Celtic fans. :lol:

 

I hate to spoil your idealist world, but the hatred between Southampton and Portsmouth is one which is felt by many. Look at the people who were causing trouble on Saturday, alot of them were 'shirters' or 'beer monsters' who normally would not go for that kind of trouble but their pure hatred meant things spilled over.

 

And I can promise you that 95% of Saints fans would always want P*mpey to fail in any competition they entered.

 

Oh sh!t, I have just fallen for your trolling.

 

Felt by many and unexplainable by that same many. There is a growing band of younger fans in Glasgow who support teams because they choose to support that team not because it's catholic or otherwise. At least in Glasgow the prejudice can be explained if not understood but down here its a war without agenda or purpose.

I hate the city and I hate Pompey fans as a group. However, I have Pompey mates and a bit of banter with them doesn't bother me atall.

 

Thought it would be funny to go to Gunwharf when I was 15 in the Saints away shirt with "SAINTS 4 LIFE" on the back. I got spat on.

 

And what do you think would happen if one of your Pompey mates would walk around West Quay with Pompy shirt on? Each city has it's morons. What happens when your Pompey mates are in a group do you suspend your love for hatred? All a tad pathetic and without any meaning isn't it?

It is without meaning really, you're correct. Football makes me irrational, and I hate Pompey.

I really really hate P*rtsmouth, however,

 

My housemate is a skate ST holder

I work in P*rtsmouth

I live on the outskirts of Gosport

My girlfriend, her dad, his 4 brothers and all of their kids/wives etc are skates

 

I hate them when we play them, strongly dislike them at all other times. I cheer when they concede and would like nothing more than all those people close to me to suffer when they crash and burn.

 

They temporarily stole our place as the highest placed team in Hampshire, but this will soon be put right, and i will f***ing love it

Sorry, I don't believe a word unless you are as desperate as you sound and can't get another girlfriend.

Not desperate, she's not really into the football, but her family is. I've tried my best to change her, she's been to 2 saints away games with me.

I always want their footy team to lose, that's only natural, and I can't wait until we're back above them again. Also, I'm not particularly keen on the city itself. I worked near the Eastern Road for a couple of years and avoided the city centre like the plague and still do. However, I'm no more likely to set foot in Shirley, Weston, Milbrook, etc. without having my shots first.

 

I know a couple of Pompey supporters and they're decent blokes who enjoy the banter and give and take it with the same good grace as me. On that note, there are resident PFC fans here who can banter and debate with more grace than many of our own fans and that's something that should embarrass a few here.

 

Currently, I'm wishing the worst for the club basically because of the lies and b*llsh*t coming from the boardroom which is nothing short of cheating, IMO, but that's nothing personal towards the fans, I just think it won't stop unless someone stops it.

 

PS. W***wood makes me want to puke but I'm led to believe that's not an emotion confined to fans of SFC.

I don't hate them. Why should I? For much of my life Southampton and its football team have been top dogs on the south coast. They will never have the same large supporter base as us. Therefore, why should I hate or care about them? But I do enjoy the banter.

Well, I was born in Southampton, but have lived the majority of my life in Basingstoke. Been to Portsmouth. Gunwharf Quays was nice, but except that, really wasn't that impressed... didn't like the place at all.

 

I'm surprised because believe you me its a step up from Basingstoke and it's glorious 60's London overspill estates. Pompey has North End but not Popley, Bucksin, Oakridge, Brighton Hill and Winklebury.

 

Still Basingstoke could show Southampton how to build a shopping and leisure complex combined.

Portsmouth a step up from Basingstoke?:rolleyes:

 

Portsmouth is a scab on the Hampshire map. A dirty, sordid, poxy place, full of dirty, sordid, poxy people. Southsea's not too bad, apart from the cheap fish and chips, kiss me quick atmosphere that pervades the place, but the best view of Portsmouth is the one in your rear view mirror.

sorry NC but you have obviously never been to Buckland, Paulsgrove or Wymering(the rough bit of Paulsgrove) they are equally as bad as the estates in Basingstoke

 

My Wife comes from Wymering and Cousin lives in Popley and i feel safer parking car in Popley than Wymering.

When I was 6 I went to Pompey for the first time with my parents, to see the HMS Warrior. I saw a kid on our trip with a Pompey shirt, so I befriended him, the took him to the back of the ship and battered him.

 

Next time I went I was 14. Spent the day beating up grannies and disabled people. That felt good.

 

At 17, I utterly battered a Pompey fan in my home town. I left him with his blue blood trickling down the street. Don't know if he died. Don't care if he died. It felt like it validated me.

 

For the remainder of my mid 20's I have spent it sat in my bedroom, thinking of ways that I can **** them up. Obsession. Maybe. But I hate them so much. I remember my Mum once told me I couldn't go around hurting Pompey fans. So I hurt her. Imixed sugar and boiling water and threw it over her face. Silly bint, she won't stop me again.

 

I hate them. I hope they die. I am also rock hard and love showing off how hard I am on forums.

 

Bet you're all scared of me now...

 

Ps. I hate Pompey.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

*this is a dramatisation of the Pompey Haters, a new program based around the lives of some retarded Saints fans on a crusade to become some of the biggest mongs on the planet.

 

 

Pathetic

Bingo...spot on...

The point here is that Pompey shouldn't have had had their transfer embargo lifted if they are trading whilst insolvent. Three of their goalscorers really shouldn't have been plaything for them. If they survive, are we looking at anther Tevez scandal here? If they survive and say, Wolves, go down in their place, then how fair is it a club keeping within their means goes down and yet a club spending money they don't have, and never could have judging by their ground, gets special treatment... how is that fair and competitive??

 

This is cheating, end of. The league talks of maintaining the "integrity of the league" where is the integrity of a club being allowed to get deeper and deeper in debt, playing players they shouldn't be allowed to...

 

Yes I was ****ed off we lost to them but more ****ed off that three of their goalscorers really shouldn't have been allowed on the pitch in a Pompey shirt. We lost god knows how many players because we kept within our budget and tried to keep out of debt...

 

If that's not cheating I don't know what is...

This hatred seems to be a fairly recent thing. For most of my supporting life Pompey have been of no consequence and so I haven't wasted much time thinking about them.

 

I have spent a couple of afternoons at the dockyards looking at Victory and Mary Rose and quite enjoyed my time there. The city was just something to be driven through to get there.

 

When I was in my youth I even went to watch a couple of games at FP that didn't involve Saints. Pompey were in the 4th division at the time and crowds were a bit sparse. I remember one game played in September sunshine that was so boring that I lay down on the terrace, rolled up my jacket as a pillow and went to sleep. I should stress that was because our driver was a skate, so we had to wait for him.

 

So, I don't actually hate the Skates, it is more pity really. Even more acute now that the end of the line is fast approaching them.

 

The natural order of things will soon be restored.

Hate could be considered too strong a word but this hating is it face to face ? I'm sure the majority of us have been in the company of their fans outside of a match day, do we dislike them that much we leave or do we indulge in some banter, me, I go for banter.

When I first left school I was a drivers mate and Tuesdays and Thursdays was Portsmouth, travelled all over the town on a very regular basis and although some exceptions, in the main, the majority were not very nice people and that was us bringing them something they wanted !

So, Football aside I genuinely don't believe the people of Portsmouth are pleasant that said, they don't evoke enough emotion in me to stand behind a barricade and shout obscenities but would join in a song on the terrace(except on a string) because I believe that falls under the category of banter.

 

I have never understood Football violence and when ever I watch documentarys on Chimpanzees, it seems to mirror that behaviour, when one or two become a little unecessary it descends into the whole group running back and forth shouting and screaming, even in the midst of it all excitement levels get so high some hug, yet rarely nothing of any consequence occurs, except of course when CCTV is reviewed and banning orders and fines are dished out and you miss a trip to Wembley etc...for what exactly ?, strange imo

Southsea front is actually really nice in the summer. Shame it's overshadowed by the overcrowded and unfriendly sprawl that is the city of portsmouth.

 

I lived down there for 3 years from 02-05 and I learned to hate the place very quickly. My take on the whole rivalry thing, it's ****ing fierce, and I never truly realised it until I lived among them & experienced the bitterness first hand from the other side of the fence.

 

Nowadays I take a "pig until proven cop" attitude to poopey fans. I accept that among them are decent people and indeed I know a fair few, but if I see one of them in a pub here in London, or wherever, I'll avoid them like the plague & take the instant attitude that they're a wrong 'un. Rational but cautious, you might say.

 

Still, having a chip on the shoulder about a dock strike that never actually happened (and they KNOW this, trust me) can only make them an evil breed really. For me this is personified even worse outside the city in god forsaken places like Chavant & Grotspot, and to some degree even parts of Fareham.

 

This rivalry is deep seated & fierce. Anyone who thinks otherwise is deluded.

Because I'm not from Southampton originally I don't mind the place really. I think it's an alright town, not all that different from Southampton, although of course I do prefer your town and would still live their if I could.

 

Also I have a begrudging respect for some pompey fans as they seem to have the same passion for their football club as what I encountered in Southampton. When you think about it we're not all that different really - roughly similar sized clubs with similar 'ups and downs' over the course of our histories and both proper community clubs on the south coast in Hampshire. Maybe that's why the rivalry is so fierce.

I don't particularly like Portsmouth and have been to the Quays once, I think. I go to Southsea a couple of times a year, to take the kids to the Aquarium (although they see more species in Fratton) and to the kite festival on the common. I'm always pleased to see the "Out Of City" signs though.

I remember i was out in a club in Wycombe once. Meant a bird in there who was a little wobbly shall we say (obvious target for me.) Pulled her then she told me that she was a Skate.

 

The Kharma must have worked on her though because i saw her later that night falling down the stairs. All my mates thought i had pushed her, (the thought had crossed my mind!)

 

Saved me a trip down the clinic though!

how many of you have pompey mates? i know so many people who support pompey who are quality people. its good to have a local rival, but the pure hatred some people pretend to have is ridiculous. can anyone give me a genuine reason why we ''historically'' hate them?

 

I know so many people who support Pompey who are actual *****s.

 

 

TBF, I know so many people who support Saints who are actual *****s too!

I like the city, it has a lot more going for it than Southampton and like someone said on here, there has been plenty more re-generation.

 

However, the club and its fans can rot in hell.

 

Gotta agree with Crabby

 

Gunwharf is a good night night out, Port Solent aint bad & the Dockyard & Spinnaker tower are good days out.

 

& yeah & I detest their fans as much as the next Saints fan

I am 54 years old and I have never even said the word Portsmouth out loud. My mum once came back from a shopping trip with a bag from a shop in Portsmouth. I couldn't help it, I just hit her. Not too hard, but enough for it to be felt. Then she told me that someone gave her the bag and I felt terrible. I found out which friend of hers gave her the bag and ended up ringing them in the early hours of morning, ****ed and calling them c*nts.

 

You are one sick man and I feel sorry for you. A lot of people dislike Portsmouth, some even hate them, but to start beating your own mum up is the work of a deranged lunatic. You really do need some serious help and I would urge you to seek it as soon as you can. I don't think your issues are about Portsmouth or football or anything other than mental health issues. You have disgusted me and I am happy to admit a tear is trickling down my cheek as I type this.

I work in John Lewis in West Quay and it sickens me the way Pompey fans where their shirts around Southampton freely but if anyone tried wearing a saints shirt in Portsmouth, u will probably end up in hospital. You wont see them getting spat on, ridiculed for their choice of football team in Southampton, but in Portsmouth its a different way of life, why?

It makes me sick inside when i see it!

and they call us SCUM... Slightly contradictive imo

The game against them opened my eyes a bit to all this. I mean Ive never been a fan of the skates (The fact I think their city centre is better than ours just makes it worse) but I didnt realise just how extreme the hatred is.

 

During the game I saw an old skate in a saints seat close to being physically attacked, a saints chav on the way to the exit throwing coins at the pompey players with force as they left the pitch (really no need for that as it could kill someone) and the level of abuse and bad language thrown at Avram Grant as he left the pitch definately made me feel uncomfortable. He looked up and applauded us but quickly put his hands down when the attack started! All quite shocking if you ask me. Rivalry, great, Animalistic violence aint' so saintly.

I have not had the pleasure of Wymering but I feel for your cousin and I assume at least those who live in the estates of Portsmouth can least go and enjoy the facilities on their doorstep. I have visited the schools in Popley and schools are usually a decent barometer to life in the area.

Another example of my hatred... once went out and got battered, met this VERY nice looking bird (well by my standards ) , she lived in Bedford Place. I had ran out of money so thankfully crashed at hers.

 

About 4 in the morning she made the announcement she was 1) A student ( reason enough to dislike the c*nt ) and 2) From P*rtsmouth.

 

With that, I went into the front room, took my taxi fare out of her purse and f"cked off... denying myself of an otherwise pleasant f"ck.

 

Thats hatred.

 

Never underestimate the female mind.

 

Having sobered up she got you out of the house, no fuss, with you thinking it was your decision.

 

Thats clever.

Theft. (hope Hampshire police aren't still looking for trouble makers on here)

Haven't been there in years, by land, except for a couple of times, one example, the DVLA. Sailed into Portsmouth Harbour several times over the years. There's always the feeling that Nelson went that way, which feels distinctly curious. Used to go there, the ordinary way, often years back, and in childhood. Like everywhere else, parts are nice, and parts aren't. It's not the hell hole people make it out to be. That's all football related bull. As usual, there are better places and worse.

It wasn't theft, I spent good money on her getting her p!ssed enough to be able to get her to invite me back to her house... I didn't get to slam her due to her student/skate revelations. Therfore I was just claiming back what was mine.

I worked there for 3 years (at the end of the last century) and still have a couple of friends there (not football fans I hasten to add!). As StL said, parts of the city are OK - the old city for example. I nearly went to college there a few decades ago - before the arch Saints/PFC rivalry.

 

I don't HATE the club (how can I hate an inanimate object). I don't like the way they've cheated but I do feel sorry for some of their fans (Mr TF being one of them).

The scenes on Saturday and some of the posts on here are embarassing. I can't imagine anyone is proud of the video on Youtube - our fans looked stupid. Saying their fans look like downs sufferers etc. is also pretty sad and pretty blinkered. Personally I've always thought SMS is full of weird looking people but it doesnt bother me.

 

I would have more respect for people like SRS if they just arranged to meet a few of the Pompey boys and have a proper fight. I have no problem with that - consenting adults enjoying themselves without harming innocent people or their property. Web insults and a few insults behind police lines/railings is pretty weak though. Soft. Go on Stu - I'm sure you could find a few willing Pompey fans on-line, you could have a proper fight within an hour I reckon.

 

BTW I am all for banter, insult and intimidation within the ground where it can actually impact on the football to our advantage.

You should be ashamed of yourself and of what you did.

 

Just like a couple of former unmentionable saints players that stole money from some innocent girls in Portsmouth.

 

You are a disgrace to the name of Saints Football club and to Southampton.

 

The fact that you seem to be proud of your actions makes it even worse, if thats possible.

i had the misfortune of not only being born there, but being forced to live there against my will until i was 27.

 

oh, i got married there as well :( but got my divorce from there :p

 

i was walking round gunkywharf earlier today, they all look like they've got downs syndrome

 

How dare you inflict this upon a downs, downs are great folk full of fun and are really happy most the time, and some look cute, you should be ashamed Mr Keith

They've been doing that on the Continent for years, especially in Eastern Europe.

 

It wouldn't surprise me if SRS was one of the people I saw on youtube earlier. There are all these fans trying to pull down the fencing to get nearer Pompey and the police line around them, then the fence falls down clearing the way and they just carry on standing there pointing and shouting - no interest whatsoever in actually doing anything.

 

That's not to say I think they should go and attack people, but I agree with you that most of it is web insults and shouting behind police lines throwing the odd coin. If they wanted to organise a fight they easily could away from the stadium, the police and the fans that just want to watch the game and have a laugh.
