Graffito Posted 25 November, 2013 Share Posted 25 November, 2013 Portsmouth Community Football Club regret to announce that Guy Whittingham has left his post as manager after his contract was terminated. Only a fool would stick around if he'd just been sacked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trousers Posted 25 November, 2013 Share Posted 25 November, 2013 When did Pompey become "Portsmouth Community Football Club"? Since the day that 'the fans' acquired the club from the administrator - it got signed over to a new company. All of which means they can ditch any bad history associated with the old company yet keep all the good history associated with the football club...

doubleonothing Posted 25 November, 2013 Share Posted 25 November, 2013 First time I heard this I thought the final line was "You saw Boruc in goal" Which I thought worked quite well. (Especially if you add "we got rid of Forecast" as the first line) I'll get me coat....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAS Posted 25 November, 2013 Share Posted 25 November, 2013 When did Pompey become "Portsmouth Community Football Club"?I think it's supposed to be "Portsmouth Care in the Community Football Club". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The9 Posted 26 November, 2013 Share Posted 26 November, 2013 Oh when the Saints go marching in, with it's catholic connotations is deeply offensive to non catholics. How are we meant to attact muslim fans to SMS when the song suggests by wanting to be in that number they would have to turn their backs on islam to be a Saints fan? Anglicans and Methodists also recognise Saints, you know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since the day that 'the fans' acquired the club from the administrator - it got signed over to a new company. All of which means they can ditch any bad history associated with the old company yet keep all the good history associated with the football club... Which also happened to be the day they ceased being Portsmouth City Football Club (or whichever of their numerous rebirths they were on at that point), they've definitely been PCFC Ltd at some point though - it's irrelevant, just like we weren't Southampton Leisure Holdings. Ah : http://www.bakertilly.co.uk/media/news/Baker-Tilly-appointed-liquidators-to-Portsmouth-City-FC.aspx (so definitely in 2011, Andronikou admin). No idea what they were called after that and before April 2013. Edited 26 November, 2013 by The9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint_clark Posted 26 November, 2013 Share Posted 26 November, 2013 There'll still be some idiots chanting it, but I won't join in anymore as it'll be retarded (much like singing come on you reds away at Old Trafford). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eelpie Posted 26 November, 2013 Share Posted 26 November, 2013 Good tune, but it would have made more sense at Arse to have sang "You signed Wenger, we signed Pochettino" -and so on, whoever the opposing manager is. Especially since clubs now envy us having MoPo as our manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miltonaggro Posted 26 November, 2013 Share Posted 26 November, 2013 The skate scum will not do better than Whittingham, at least he gave a sh*t - next stop the Conference with the name Portsmouth Care in the Community Club... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Griffo Posted 26 November, 2013 Share Posted 26 November, 2013 This was 1 of 3 songs that we can all manage to sing at away games. OWTS, Pochettino song and we're by far the greatest team. Pathetic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OWTS, Pochettino song and we're by far the greatest team. Pathetic. Really? At Arsenal I thought I'd heard "we all follow Southampton...", "when I was just a little boy...", "hello, hello...", "is this a library", Luke Shaw chants, Rickie Lambert chants and chants about Boruc. Admittedly I was watching on a dodgy stream in Portugal, so there may have been more. Edited 29 November, 2013 by Golden Balls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admittedly I was watching on a dodgy stream in Portugal, so there may have been more. At Arsenal we also managed "your a saint and you know it" - to walcott, and a rendition of celtics Wanayama chant. There was no "one Artur Boruc" however, and I feel this directly contributed to his performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admittedly I was watching on a dodgy stream in Portugal, so there may have been more. I'm talking in general, there's only 2 or 3 songs that our whole end actually sings. There's pockets of people here and there singing other songs but they don't catch on to the whole end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The9 Posted 27 November, 2013 Share Posted 27 November, 2013 We have about 20-30 songs, and this is still the worst of them.

red&white56 Posted 27 November, 2013 Share Posted 27 November, 2013 I don't sing at football. I am a bloke so I shout abuse instead. Singing is for girls and choirs. Try singing and shouting abuse - its good fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ant Posted 28 November, 2013 Share Posted 28 November, 2013 This is how it feels to be P*mpey, This is how it feels to be small, This is how it feels, When your club means nothing at all.

Bearsy Posted 29 November, 2013 Share Posted 29 November, 2013 Unfortunately is also completely illogical, it doesn't feel anything like the same for us as it does them.

CB Fry Posted 29 November, 2013 Share Posted 29 November, 2013 Slightly amended for you mate. Fits much better. Except it doesn't because the song is "This is how it feels", not "Oh Just so how does it feel" or whatever it is you said. Why on earth would anyone sing that? The whole thing remains a joke and without question the lowest we have sunk on "I erd this on Sky" hamfisted stealing of songs from bigger clubs. The dictionary definition of small-time.

Colinjb Posted 29 November, 2013 Share Posted 29 November, 2013 I think the phrase "This is how it feels" fits the rhythm of the song called "This Is How It Feels". Even though the point The9 made was that 'this' refers to the person singing it therefore it is utterly meaningless for our fans to sing it as it stands? The 'you sign Whiittingham' bit gave it emphasis towards the difference between us and them, as the existing lyrics sound it's as if our fans would be saying we are the skates! Which would surely make a song you find embarrassing even more so...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The dictionary definition of small-time. Tell me about it. All you hear at football games in the last 3 seasons or so, whatever level it's at, is that flippin Man U song (it gets on my nerves, it gets on my ner-er-er-erves, that Man Utd song, it gets on my nerves). You can't escape it at the cricket either although the Barmy Army haven't had a chance to air it to Mitchell Johnson yet due to the cowardice (Trott excepted) of our batsmen.
