eelpie Posted 28 January, 2016 Posted 28 January, 2016 Saints relayed because of our intense rivalries Bompey or Pompey to win on Saturday? Who would you prefer? I hope Bournemouth thrash the Skates, and I certainly don't want the Skates to further increase their better cup history compared to us. And it would be fun to see Bournemouth to go all the way and see off the big teams, now that we are not involved. That's my view.
Griffo Posted 28 January, 2016 Posted 28 January, 2016 Biggest no brainer I've ever seen. Don't know why it would even need asking. One team aren't our rivals, one team are.
Patrick Bateman Posted 28 January, 2016 Posted 28 January, 2016 You have to wonder about some fans. There is one rivalry here, the other is just another team that happens to be on the south coast that some Saints fans also used to cheer for ...
eddie Posted 28 January, 2016 Posted 28 January, 2016 no brainer bournemouth is as much as intense rivalry as stoke
kwsaint Posted 28 January, 2016 Posted 28 January, 2016 Put it this way, I want Bournemouth to stay up, do well in the PL and would happily watch them with a probable bias towards wanting them to win (unless it was against us). I want Portsmouth to be carpet bombed with Trident.
Mr Biscuits Posted 28 January, 2016 Posted 28 January, 2016 +1 thread. Why on earth would any self respecting Saint want the skates to achieve anything?

I want Portsmouth to be carpet bombed with Trident. Hmmm. Still don't quite get who you want to win AFCB vs PFC?

I want Portsmouth to be carpet bombed with Trident. I think you've spoken for a lot of people there
Pamplemousse Posted 28 January, 2016 Posted 28 January, 2016 They can all sing together about how much they hate the number 1 South Coast team
Toadhall Saint Posted 28 January, 2016 Posted 28 January, 2016 Excellent just about sums the question up. [emoji3]
BARCELONASAINT Posted 28 January, 2016 Posted 28 January, 2016 except for when they play us i really like Bournemouth, hope they stuff the crap down the road
whelk Posted 28 January, 2016 Posted 28 January, 2016 "Bompey" ffs. Indeed. Even Pompey is too affectionate.
Toussaint Posted 28 January, 2016 Posted 28 January, 2016 Stuff them both, any soft spot I had for Bournemouth evaporated when became aware they hated us. And, from a Pompey mad colleague, they have colluded to join forces in song expressing their loathing of us.
Danbert Posted 28 January, 2016 Posted 28 January, 2016 The Blue Few are not our rivals. They used to be, now they're just a joke.
The Cat Posted 28 January, 2016 Posted 28 January, 2016 The Blue Few are not our rivals. They used to be, now they're just a joke. Errr, they'll always be our rivals. Even if they had gone bust and reformed that new team would have been our rivals.
Griffo Posted 28 January, 2016 Posted 28 January, 2016 The Blue Few are not our rivals. They used to be, now they're just a joke.
Whitey Grandad Posted 28 January, 2016 Posted 28 January, 2016 The Blue Few are not our rivals. They used to be, now they're just a joke. The Blue Few are our deadly rivals, Bournemouth just think they are.
saint si Posted 28 January, 2016 Posted 28 January, 2016 Errr, they'll always be our rivals. Even if they had gone bust and reformed that new team would have been our rivals. Which is what actually happened, of course.
CB Fry Posted 28 January, 2016 Posted 28 January, 2016 Stuff them both, any soft spot I had for Bournemouth evaporated when became aware they hated us. Seriously? It made me love them more - their desperation to be our rivals is super-cute.
bowers-sfc Posted 28 January, 2016 Posted 28 January, 2016 Seriously? It made me love them more - their desperation to be our rivals is super-cute. Like the annoying little brother.
Barry the Badger Posted 28 January, 2016 Posted 28 January, 2016 Is that honestly the best question you could think of to start a thread? Hey everybody, what would you prefer out of eating chocolate and eating a dog sh*t, discuss.
angelman Posted 28 January, 2016 Posted 28 January, 2016 Really poor of the BBC in which games they chose. OK, Friday night's Derby vs MUFC is understandable, but Saturday, why choose Liverpool vs WHU? It's the FA Cup not the PL, and there are no commercial pressures on them to get advertising etc.

Who cares about another premier league game . They ignored Eastleigh as well
Ohio Saint Posted 28 January, 2016 Posted 28 January, 2016 I'm probably the first to say this, but Put it this way. I want Bournemouth to stay up, do well in the PL and would happily watch them with a probable bias towards wanting them to win (unless it was against us).

angelman Posted 28 January, 2016 Posted 28 January, 2016 Bbc have consistently got this wrong they don't understand the audience . Who cares about another premier league game . They ignored Eastleigh as well Yup, but not Salford!! And not just the once, but they televised them twice.
S-Clarke Posted 28 January, 2016 Posted 28 January, 2016 What is with this place today? People asking who we'd prefer to win out of Saints or Pompey, and now this.
Shance Posted 28 January, 2016 Posted 28 January, 2016 You must be one of these new age dickhead fans that thinks it's cool to hate Bournemouth. Always have and always will like Bournemouth. Really happy they've made it to the top.
jamesfp1 Posted 28 January, 2016 Posted 28 January, 2016 Bournemouth should be most peoples "second team" surely?
angelman Posted 28 January, 2016 Posted 28 January, 2016 What is with this place today? People asking who we'd prefer to win out of Saints or Pompey, and now this. I would have thought it a little obvious, but seemingly not to some. But agree that the Saint or Pompey thread is just sad.
Wes Tender Posted 29 January, 2016 Posted 29 January, 2016 Really poor of the BBC in which games they chose. OK, Friday night's Derby vs MUFC is understandable, but Saturday, why choose Liverpool vs WHU? It's the FA Cup not the PL, and there are no commercial pressures on them to get advertising etc. The Skate supporting client I visited Monday (following our defeat of the Mighty Plastics and the 9 points, no goals conceded run) raised the same point. The Beeb make much of the romance of the FA Cup and began well enough by featuring lower division teams with the slogan "It's the FA Cup ; anything can happen." Anything can happen when Salford are featured because their owners were the cream of the Mighty Plastic team in their pomp, but that fascination in the possibility of a team from the depths of the footballing pyramid knocking out a top Premier League club seems to have disappeared. We have a draw between the last lowly team in the fourth division remaining in the competition, and one from the top flight. There is added interest caused by the fact that the lowly team, the Skates, won the thing as recently as 2008, when simultaneously Bournemouth were relegated at the end of that season to the fourth division, so that the teams have effectively swapped places. One wonders whether the match would have been televised had it been Salford playing Bournemouth. Actually, I'm pretty sure that it would have been. It's just that Bournemouth are unfashionable and not considered to be the draw that plastic glory clubs are, whereas the Skates for all of the recent cup glory, are largely an irrelevance nowadays. Regarding the OP, naturally I hope that Bournemouth stuff the skates. 4-1 has a nice ring to it.
doddisalegend Posted 29 January, 2016 Posted 29 January, 2016 Will Bournemouth be able to cope in the high pressure atmosphere of a sold out fatpipes park? Lucky old Bournemouth being in their cup final already....
doddisalegend Posted 29 January, 2016 Posted 29 January, 2016 There's not actually anyone supporting pompey in this right? You'd really have to have tried hard to develop a dislike of bournemouth that severe already. Doubt any saints fans would even have to think about it. Could be interesting at the game though both sets of fans united together singing anti saints songs bless the lot of them.
igsey Posted 29 January, 2016 Posted 29 January, 2016 0-0 would be nice, going to a replay where it goes to extra time before Bournemouth score 5 goals in the 30 added minutes. That would be a good way to tire and demoralise their squad, causing them to drop out of the play-off places altogether.

Would that demoralise them more than "shipping" say seven or eight goals during the original fixture?
Monkou Posted 29 January, 2016 Posted 29 January, 2016 Yup, but not Salford!! And not just the once, but they televised them twice. Indeed.. you would never guess where the BBC are based these days would you!
Monkou Posted 29 January, 2016 Posted 29 January, 2016 Can people stop calling bournemouth bompey. It´s not clever and actually sounds a bit pathetic.
BoscombeScummer Posted 29 January, 2016 Posted 29 January, 2016 I just got back from a trip to my old stomping grounds of Boscombe/Bournemouth and met a fair few decent Cherries fans who actually followed Saints as their second team and had done so for many years. This supposed hatred and 'rivalry' with Saints is very much down to newer fans I should think. (managed to get to St. Marys to see us completely demolish the arse on boxing day with my old man, what an xmas present that was! Amazing game.)
Toadhall Saint Posted 29 January, 2016 Posted 29 January, 2016 Doubt any saints fans would even have to think about it. Could be interesting at the game though both sets of fans united together singing anti saints songs bless the lot of them. Now that would be funny.
eelpie Posted 29 January, 2016 Author Posted 29 January, 2016 Can people stop calling bournemouth bompey. It´s not clever and actually sounds a bit pathetic. ok then, point taken
angelman Posted 29 January, 2016 Posted 29 January, 2016 Indeed.. you would never guess where the BBC are based these days would you! That's a really weak argument. And actually, do you know who does the filming and where they are based? It isn't the BBC who films it, but I guess you knew that.
Born In The 80s Posted 29 January, 2016 Posted 29 January, 2016 I'm assuming Bompey is Bournemouth? Am I missing something, but why? Genuinely never heard the term used once before...
doddisalegend Posted 29 January, 2016 Posted 29 January, 2016 I'm assuming Bompey is Bournemouth? Am I missing something, but why? Genuinely never heard the term used once before... Really? it was all the rage a few seasons back when both clubs were in league 1 together. My guess was because the level of vitriol coming from the Bournemouth fans at the time was similar to little old pompey's impotent rage....
Pamplemousse Posted 29 January, 2016 Posted 29 January, 2016 Really poor of the BBC in which games they chose. OK, Friday night's Derby vs MUFC is understandable, but Saturday, why choose Liverpool vs WHU? It's the FA Cup not the PL, and there are no commercial pressures on them to get advertising etc. BT Sport chose to televise the Liverpool game. The other BBC game is MK Dons v Chelsea.
