sotonian Posted 20 February, 2012 Share Posted 20 February, 2012 I noticed Saturday, that now at least every other song was about Pompey, why is this, I've been a saints regular since 1968, never did we sing much about Pompey, it's only been the last five years, earlier in the season our fans cheered when they had lost to west ham!

Jack Posted 20 February, 2012 Share Posted 20 February, 2012 There will be much less of it when they are less relevant to us. I don't mind it at all, I still feel I've got a lot to get out of my system in regards to them, the relegation and all this 4-1 talk we still get from their fans still hurts. Smash them at SMS in April and aid their relegation and it'll be put to bed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd of far rathered Pompey had won, my love for saints far out ways my dislike for them, I really only think about them if we are playing them I'll mention, AGAIN, as I do every time this thread comes around that when I recorded a load of Saints songs on my phone at two matches in Oct 2010 (for use in FIFA 11), we sang around 60 songs, with less than 20% of them being about the Skate Cheats - yesterday was the first home game after their ten point deduction, so a bit of gloating was to be expected, but even so, it's nothing like as prevalent as people would like to believe. The songs themselves are listed on a FIFA11 thread in the Computer Games forum, should anyone want to check. Some have moved on with the players, but they've been replaced by others. We've added about 3 new songs about Portsmouth since then I can think of : "Who the f'ck is laughing now?" which debuted at Fratton and was first heard at home only on Saturday "We're coming for you" which became "we're laughing at you" on Saturday and "Cortese", arguably. I think there's one other new song, but can't recall it right now. You saying it's at least every other song is unlikely to be accurate, especially as Tadanari Lee and Billy Sharp alone have necessitated 3 new songs between them in the last 3 weeks. "It's only been the last 5 years" is just plain wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pap Posted 20 February, 2012 Share Posted 20 February, 2012 How can you say Saints fans people are obsessed about Pompey? Sure, you can point to the Pompey Takeover Saga thread ( SWF's most popular-ever thread, and it isn't even about Saints ). You can also point out the folly of singing Pompey songs in the North. Or the innumerable Facebook/Twitter comments from Saints fans gloating about Pompey's current predicament. Not quite sure that you can call the unrelenting coverage about Pompey FC from Saints fans an obsession, tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

niceandfriendly Posted 20 February, 2012 Share Posted 20 February, 2012 (edited) It's so sad to me that I'm not going to be able to get back for the Skates game in April. Haven't missed a Derby game since the 90's. I was singing “who the **** is laughing now" really quite loud to myself in my apartment yesterday and imagining myself sat in the Itchen Northam corner singing it to the dirty cheats and I got a bit angry thinking of them and how much I want to shout C*****************NTS in their faces. :x Yes, Fratton in 2005 still hurts.

I would take immense pleasure from ramming that song back down their throats. Pleasure only who was there on that day could appreciate, I'm sure. I was still living in the UK, but I was watching on Sky. I would easily describe that day as THE worst of my football-following life, even worse than the aftermath of the Manyoo game on the last day itself (losing against Villa a couple of weeks before the end, and drawing against Boro on Saggy Chops's home debut were also worse than the final confirmation against Manyoo). But that doesnt mean I think we should be banging on about them the whole time. Save it all up and give them f**king hell in April, if they are still around, it might be the last chance we get to do it in generations and it therefore deserves the full monty..

Must plug this a bit louder : IT'S A COUNTER OF POMPEY'S DEBT TO HMRC I just created. It increments at 33p a second and currently stands at around £2.28m, based on them doing nothing to reduce their wage bill. Also, while I think of it, reclaiming Amarillo on Saturday (and in December at Fratton) was most cathartic and definitely very necessary. THAT has been bugging me, not the score. Just the memory of the song, and the performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the mick channon windmill Posted 20 February, 2012 Share Posted 20 February, 2012 love Saints and I hate Pompey, its as simple as that for me and many people from Southampton. It isn't just the football club I hate but the city itself and most Sotonians feel the same, the people really are vile in Pompey. I think a lot of people who say they dont really care about Pompey and think the depth of feeling most Saints fans have is stupid and obsessive may not have been born and bred in Southampton. The rivalry is passionate between the two cities of that there is no doubt. I have spent time living in the North East and Saints v Pompey is every bit as passionate as Newcastle v Sunderland I can assure you. Some people may genuinely not have any depth of feeling against Portsmouth football club or the residents of that city and will not understand why most Saints fans do feel this way. The fact is however the vast majority of people from Southampton do have a hatred for anything Pompey related and they feel exactly the same way about us. Nothing will change this, even if they go out of existence the rivalry and passion between the two cities will be there. It seems a few fans want to take a moral high ground and think that the fact that they claim they dont care about Pompey and only have feelings for Saints makes them a better fan....... nothing could be further than the truth in my opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But name me a football club where that doesn't apply. I work in Pompey with many Pompey supporters and they, surprising though it may seem, are decent people, working for a living, looking after their families and doing their best. They just happen to support their local team. If people didn't support their local teams, we'd only have the likes of Man U and Chelsea left to play.

The9 Posted 20 February, 2012 Share Posted 20 February, 2012 Oh, yaawwwwnnnn............ Its a fair point, you don't attend matches generally to have any kind of feel for public opinion or the nuances of people's responses at the best of times, you weren't at that particular match (I wish I hadn't been), you didn't have a ground full of Skates giving it the large one, didn't miss the start due to being stuck on a train and in Fratton for hours surrounded by police, weren't locked in for an hour afterwards and the inconvenience to you was restricted to how long it took you to click the off button - how could you possibly know what people who paid money to go through that feel like, or how they should deal with it ? F'cking right we want them to know we haven't forgotten about it, we still owe them a thrashing and preferably a relegation too. There was plenty of that coming out at Fratton in December, they stupidly think we were remotely bothered about our League One side bossing them for 60 minutes in the FA Cup and the result ending up the same, so they started "4-1 in your own back yard" - we went 1-0 up at Fratton and they got "1-0 in your own back yard" in spades. Most Saints fans only care when we're not obviously better than them, which rules out most of the last 50 years, but when the pretence is that they're superior, we're going to to point out that they're wrong. This season especially has been good for that - assuming they survive, most likely next season they'll be in a different division and once again an irrelevance. But for now, we owe them big, and we're clearly in the ascendancy, so why the hell not rub it in ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was brought up in Southampton and have been to most derby's home and away since they started up again in the 60's and I am fully aware of how vile some of there supporters are. There will always be a part of me that hates them and I rejoice when they lose, but I think you and I are living in the past. We all must have friends, relatives, work colleagues or people we know that support them and quite a lot of them are nice normal people and good supporters of their team. A bit like the Rolling Stones the rivalry was big in the 60's had a revival in the 80's but has had it's day now. They are no longer fit to be our rivals. We are a far bigger club than them, the success they achieved was by cheating, and the chances of us playing them very often again after this season are remote. Some people want to build it up to be this biggest rivalry in football thing but it isn't. It's time we set our sights a lot higher than worrying about that lot.

sfc4prem Posted 20 February, 2012 Share Posted 20 February, 2012 I don't mind it at home, but when we're away in a top of the table clash against West Ham and people start singing anti-Pompey songs it gets a bit tedious. Some people want to shoot a Pompey fan, yes, i understand (yet the hypocrites would be soft as melted butter when face to face with a Pompey fan) but can't people sing more in support of the team. Gets on my tits when people sing anti-Pompey songs louder and more passionately than songs about the club we support. Some Saints fans seem to only sing anti-Pompey songs too - bit weird, especially when half of them probably speak to people that are Pompey fans every day...
