Bless them. Things are so bleak down there, they're having to re-hash match reports from 7 years ago.

 

It's all irrelevant now anyway. Everything has worked out perfectly for us in the end. They're staring into the abyss and we're marching on to bigger and better things. Natural order has been restored down here.

No it didn't, it had no bearing whatsoever.

well, it did...if we had won the game, we would have stayed up.

it mattered as much as it did when we lost to spurs 5-1. or when we lost to who ever...so it did matter...but it was just another defeat in a sorry season

I'm talking about West Brom beating Portsmouth.

 

The game this thread is about.

Exactly this, rehashing history & singing about "4-1 in your own backyard", 2 years ago when they were 2 leagues above.We may as well dredge up"5-2 in your own backyard" referring to

 

Feb 5th 1966 when we were in the same league.

It's always bothered me that they think their defeat to West Brom had ANY hand in us going down. It ended up having no influence on us. Infact, if I remember rightly Palace's point on that day meant they'd have stayed up had Pompey won. So they've actually ended up screwing Palace. I remember thinking at the time that if I was a Palace fan I'd be SO ****ed off at them for that. But they didn't seem to mind...

I seem to remember (unless memory playing tricks on me) that West Brom played Man utd the week before we did and the Manure side was more than just a bit on the weaker side that the one that faced us the following week. Manure had nothing to play for and put their strongest side out against us. Of course nothing to with WBA manager being Brian Robson.

The WBA fan at work said that the skates rolled over for them. They didn't even try as they knew their own fans wanted then to lose. Their fans had WBA shirts & posters. For one of the goals the two centre backs ran in opposite directions for the WBA player to run through and slot home. Oh well... Who the **** is laughing now. I'm really not bothered if they go into liquidation or not.

Even if they did throw it and it did play a part in our relegation (it didn't) - relegation was (eventually) a great thing for Saints. Got rid of a lot of deadwood and now back in the prem with proper ambitious owners. Skates meanwhile...

This season I always wanted us to lose against someone who would have sent the skates down! In years to come they will always say we stopped you from winning the league title when we drew against you. B**stards

This. Has anyone got a pompey online account so they can go on there and thank them from all of us for helping us in such a big amazing way. They'll like that...

The six points we gave Brizzal City didn't help them very much.
