Evil Monkey Posted 21 February, 2010 Share Posted 21 February, 2010 Someone on talksport yesterday said the club needs to be saved because 'its a real football club.' Translated, I think 'real club' means, 'they have a sh*t ground that reminds me of the good old days.' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, they were real empty seats there yesterday made of real formica and that was a real sucker punch they conceded, so maybe they have a point.

S-Clarke Posted 21 February, 2010 Share Posted 21 February, 2010 According to Peter Reid it is one, can anyone think of a reason why he feels that why? Buggered if I can... on another note - same program, but even worse - did you hear kammys rant on why the PL should help them out? ''if they needed the money, they should have sold their players in january'' - said Reid, fair point. so kammy replies with ''well they were hopeful of getting a takeover in january, it's not their fault it didn't go through - they now need the money desperately'' good argument!

hamster Posted 21 February, 2010 Share Posted 21 February, 2010 Reidy would have been our manager if things had gone slightly differently. Anyway, I reckon that the lower down the leagues you travle, the more 'real' clubs you find. There is only one club who imo are not a 'real' club and that is MK Dons, they arehte ONLY club that I want to see disappear. Pompey are a real club, a real **** club but a real club all the same.

Thedelldays Posted 21 February, 2010 Share Posted 21 February, 2010 During the first half of their game yesterday..the commentators spent a few moments talking about the troubles at pompey.. one said something to the other about how loyal pompey fans are and how they still sell out every week... despite the camera AT THE GAME THEY WERE COMMENTATING ON showing the nation large blocks of empty seats.

Honestly, people believe what they want to believe... There were empty seats everywhere and they all left when Diao scored despite it potentially being the last game ever played there... Now, I'm not saying we were much better in our hour of need but this love in with a pikey town and pikey fans is bordering on lunacy. What is the difference between Pompey and Luton?? Nothing. Aren't Luton a 'real' club?? And where were all these 'football people' then... Maybe it's just because Pompey have bunged up more people than swine flu...

Rebel Posted 21 February, 2010 Share Posted 21 February, 2010 its a myth - a Redknappism if you like. its dirty little club in a dirty little city - and that's the truth! they are probably more famous for the 657 crew than anything else in the real old world of football perhaps if they were selling out every week the myth of the 'best supporters in the world' could be believed but they're not - and its far from true - and the Pompey chimes is probably the most monotonous and moronic anthem in football - its not exactly blue moon or forever blowing bubbles is it!?

dune Posted 21 February, 2010 Share Posted 21 February, 2010 Everything they ever achieved in their entire history has been hollow. Their heady days around the time of WW2 were on the back of large naval crowds and borrowed players from the navy. And their scrappy FA cup win against lower league opposition was bought on their giant credit card. Pompey is a sham of a club - always has been always will be.

Smirking_Saint Posted 21 February, 2010 Share Posted 21 February, 2010 Why ?? Because other than us fans (and even some of us included) don't actually want to see PFC go out of business. As much as i hate the sh*tty element of their fanbase and definately TCWTB a lot of them are true fans and without the football club in their lives it would rip their hearts out, the same situation as we were facing. Problem is, as much as i want to see Pompeys demise for the cheating Tw*ts in the boardroom and for the fishy thugs in their fanbase realistically no massive recourse will happen, yeah they will lose some of their money but then will skulk off back to the shady backstreets they came from. The thuggish b*stards will find something else to take out their anger out on and leave the real fans hurting. I don't really want that.......................... but that being said, having PFC relegated all the way to BSP would be nice ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie Lizzard Posted 21 February, 2010 Share Posted 21 February, 2010 In the media many untruths or half truths are perpetuated through lazyness. Why don't any of the journalists point out that these fantastic pompey fans can't fill a tiny ground? Probably because it's easier just to trot out the same old lines rather than raise an uncomfortable truth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smirking_Saint Posted 21 February, 2010 Share Posted 21 February, 2010 Their fantastic fans make a lot of noise because of some drunken neanderthal dressed as some cross between a prostitute and a clown with his stupid bell, who more often than not is ejected from stadia around the ground and turns up blind drunk. Also, if PFC stuck to their original promises a few years back when he p*ssed on one of our seats he wouldn't be there to make any noise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHAPEL END CHARLIE Posted 21 February, 2010 Share Posted 21 February, 2010 They were an ordinary , rather undistinguished , medium sized football club that is now extraordinary only because of the unprecedented scale of their financial mismanagement . At no stage have they ever been a 'fantastic' club with particularly 'wonderful' fans - except in the minds of lazy jurno's that is . I fear we will have to endure a all to predictable wave of this nauseating verbiage from the media in coming weeks , but it will be a small price to pay if the whole sorry story ends satisfactorily (from a Saints point of view) I suppose .

Big John Posted 21 February, 2010 Share Posted 21 February, 2010 Come on thoguh, we all know at least a handful of Pompey fans.

St Landrew Posted 22 February, 2010 Share Posted 22 February, 2010 Come on thoguh, we all know at least a handful of Pompey fans. Can anyone honestly that they would wish them to lose the one thing that we nearly lost ourselves not 12 months ago? No, but I'm getting perilessly close to wishing they'd just disappear, because they're starting to take on the kind of love-in with the media that is so phoney, for example, with ManU. And that started because they lost half their team to a plane crash in the 1950's. Yes, it was sad, but we get over it and move on. Unfortunately, once the media take a club to its heart, it rarely lets go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big John Posted 22 February, 2010 Share Posted 22 February, 2010 But even the most serious anti-capitalist footie fan would choose many other clubs to bring the guillotine down on before Pompey would get to the front of the queue at the gallows.

QUOTE] TBF the bell ringing pales into insignificance compared to the noise made by the frickin drum banging buffoons. It got to the stage where I had to put the mute button on ... it was driving me crazy. :mad: I actually believe that despite the crap ground, crap football, crap results and crap fans .... the numero uno reason for the low attendances is the noise made by the drums. :cool: Could you imagine sitting near them things for 90 mins (although just 1 minute anywhere near to fish breath ***twood would be too much as well ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
