hypochondriac Posted 24 February, 2011 Posted 24 February, 2011 We have a bigger history, fanbase and stadium and bring in more revenue?
Lighthouse Posted 24 February, 2011 Posted 24 February, 2011 Remember in 2005 when Reading suddenly decided they were our rivals? F**k me that was annoying.
hypochondriac Posted 24 February, 2011 Posted 24 February, 2011 Remember in 2005 when Reading suddenly decided they were our rivals? F**k me that was annoying. I do actually. Equally irritating were all the Derby fans streaming on here during the playoffs.
Colinjb Posted 24 February, 2011 Posted 24 February, 2011 (edited) Remember in 2005 when Reading suddenly decided they were our rivals? F**k me that was annoying. As hillarious then as Brighton and the Cherries are now in that regard. They are rivals in the same way that Peterborough and Huddersfield are, nothing more. There can be only one Blue cancer.

stardustonmyfeet Posted 24 February, 2011 Posted 24 February, 2011 The likes of Bournemouth (and to an extent Brighton) are never going to be our rivals in the way Pompey are. They may be relatively local, but Winchester FC is relatively local and nobody would consider them to be a derby fixture.
jamesfp1 Posted 24 February, 2011 Posted 24 February, 2011 Bless them both lol. Good to see both are doing well tho. Would be happy to see either go up. They deserve it more than we do on current form!
NickG Posted 24 February, 2011 Posted 24 February, 2011 is that I don't care about B'mth (or Brighton) any more than any other team. Only interest in this league is our position. Where as they are both very jealous of us, and their biggest pleasure this season is in comparison to us. Remember Cherries players and fans first celebraton song when they won promotion? Now you are going to believe us we are going to St Marys! Bless.
Colinjb Posted 24 February, 2011 Posted 24 February, 2011 Bless them both lol. Good to see both are doing well tho. Would be happy to see either go up. They deserve it more than we do on current form! Absolutely. Best case scenario is that we all go up. The skates wouldn't know what hit them!!!
MarkSFC Posted 25 February, 2011 Posted 25 February, 2011 ?????????................ come back in 3 years...5 years.....10 years.......c***
The9 Posted 25 February, 2011 Posted 25 February, 2011 Is that we don't regard playing them as a Cup Final. Actually we've already beaten them twice this season in their cup finals...
Doctoroncall Posted 25 February, 2011 Posted 25 February, 2011 You're got it right with the capital 'S' and lowercase 'b' in the place names. lol.
Saint Lindford Posted 25 February, 2011 Posted 25 February, 2011 The only Obsession we have is aftershave whereas they both seem obsessed with us.
lordswoodsaints Posted 25 February, 2011 Posted 25 February, 2011 There's a lot more people in Bournemouth talking about the war whilst sitting in their own p!ss. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JqrYgTa6fqE&feature=youtube_gdata_player
JustMike Posted 25 February, 2011 Posted 25 February, 2011 Thanks. ahh our resident Man Utd fan is back I see!

scott_saints Posted 25 February, 2011 Posted 25 February, 2011 Thing is, they love this. They love it when we talk about them. And they love it that our biggest attendance was against them. As I have pointed out, I would say we have more interest over them than the rest of the league. Although, this isn't because they are "rivals", it's because they hate us which leaves us with slightly more interested in them than other teams. They are now banging on that it must be our cup final at their place aswell, hence so many of our fans trying to tickets. Now, we are a big club (which they seem to accept!), have a much bigger fan base, the game is local, and they're right next to us in the league. But yeah, it's because they're "rivals" Bless 'em.
Thimble Posted 25 February, 2011 Posted 25 February, 2011 I suppose I should apologise as it is an ALBION fan that started this ridiculous thread. But seeing as I am here I have to answer a point...You are not our rivals and never will be, we have a rivalry of our own thanks very much. As you are in our region (ie the 4 South Coast clubs) it makes for an local-ish derby which is a bit more interesting than your run-of-the-mill league game, so as far as we are concerned you are just lumped Saints, Pompey and Bournemouth together...Although the fact we are both (along with Bournemouth) are all competing at the sharp end of the same division gives is another dimension. So, you can carry on hating Bournemouth or Portsmouth or whoever it is...

Golden Balls Posted 25 February, 2011 Posted 25 February, 2011 I hope all 3 of us go up. Good for the South coast. Good luck Brighton and Bornemouth (unless it's at our expense)
Tom & Gerry Posted 25 February, 2011 Posted 25 February, 2011 6 points but we've got 3 games in hand and that is all that matters.

sir woody Posted 25 February, 2011 Posted 25 February, 2011 Who cares about bournemouth or brighton, tiny little clubs punching above their weight. We've got ourselves in this mess and should just concentrate on getting out of this **** league. Our only rivals are Portsmouth and that will never change.
SNOWY Posted 25 February, 2011 Posted 25 February, 2011 I hope all 3 of us go up. Good for the South coast. Good luck Brighton and Bornemouth (unless it's at our expense) I agree, if I could choose the two teams to come up with us (Hopefully!) it would be Bournemouth & Brighton.
Window Cleaner Posted 25 February, 2011 Posted 25 February, 2011 I agree, if I could choose the two teams to come up with us (Hopefully!) it would be Bournemouth & Brighton. Brighton are already as good as up anyway.Doubt if they give a toss whether Saints and Bournemouth go up with them or not.
sfc1976 Posted 25 February, 2011 Posted 25 February, 2011 Brighton are already as good as up anyway.Doubt if they give a toss whether Saints and Bournemouth go up with them or not. Not so sure. It was quite a shock to see how much they dislike us for some reason. The general consensus on their forum is that us losing in the play off final would be the best result. Rather sad, but there you go.
Victor Posted 25 February, 2011 Posted 25 February, 2011 Oh for pities sake. Oh for pity's sake, the ignorance of some people!
SaintBobby Posted 25 February, 2011 Posted 25 February, 2011 I quite like both Bournemouth and Brighton. Generally want southern clubs to climb the divisions - excluding Portsmouth, of course. When I saw the 2-2 draw with Brighton last season, I reckoned they could be serious challengers this time. Credit to Bournemouth particularly though for performing so enormously above expectations in League One, especially since losing their manager. Sadly, I think they've probably peaked now and are unlikely to go up. But even finishing in the top ten would be an impressive season for them. The fact that Bournemouth are above us does show that Saints have rather under-performed this term, but there's plenty of time to turn this round and I'm confident we will.
Saintandy666 Posted 25 February, 2011 Posted 25 February, 2011 We aren't in a 'as bad' position as we think we are. We may be only in the playoffs, but we have tonnes of games in hand over everyone around us. Let's wait until we've completed those games in hand.

We may be only in the playoffs, but we have tonnes of games in hand over everyone around us. Let's wait until we've completed those games in hand. I'd prefer to think of the number of games we have in hand in imperial measurement, even if the tons then won't be as numerous.
Saintandy666 Posted 25 February, 2011 Posted 25 February, 2011 I'd prefer to think of the number of games we have in hand in imperial measurement, even if the tons then won't be as numerous. Alright then, 3 games in hand over bournemouth. 4 games in hand over MK Dons. 2 over Peterborough and Huddersfield. Automatic Promotion is still in our own hands.

The general consensus on their forum is that us losing in the play off final would be the best result. Rather sad, but there you go. I would not take what a few divs on our messageboard say that seriously. Personally, I would rather you stayed down...Not through any particular hate (there is only team I really hate, really hate) it is just I would rather the ALBION are clearly the top team on the South Coast team. I also, do not go in for this South Coast pals act and have no desire to see the rest of you climb the divisions...In the same way I doubt very much Middlesbrough fans think it is great for the North East that Newcastle and Sunderland are in the Premier League whilst they scrap around at the bottom of the Championship. But just to play devil's advocate, if Pompey had gone bust, what would you have done for a rivalry?...Pretty much every club in England is 'paired off' and surely you would not have taken Bournemouth on!!
westofshannonsaint Posted 25 February, 2011 Posted 25 February, 2011 Just for the record the fool that started the thread has admitted to being a Man Ure fan, his only interest in Brighton is that his boyfriend is a fan. what? A ManU fan pays a fiver to join a Saints forum so he can talk about Brighton, that's a bit mental.
Miltonaggro Posted 25 February, 2011 Posted 25 February, 2011 I think that these Brighton chaps are great, witty and real stattos when it comes to their football. I think that we should all meet up before the Brighton away game somewhere central for a laugh and a well deserved drink. How about the Pier? It would be just like the old days...
scotty Posted 25 February, 2011 Posted 25 February, 2011 Just for the record the fool that started the thread has admitted to being a Man Ure fan, his only interest in Brighton is that his boyfriend is a fan. our resident munich claims to have a "girlfriend", thats pushing euphemisms a bit far imo.
St Chalet Posted 25 February, 2011 Posted 25 February, 2011 Looks like another thread to put out of it's misery. Brighton troll posts Saints Fan bites Brighton troll replies Saints Fan trotts out the gay banter Repeat until closed.
