Pilchards Posted 23 December, 2018 Share Posted 23 December, 2018 Just a thought as the Hammers are claiming we are a bogey team to them. Who is our bogey team where we often get spanked time and time again? I do remember Newcastle used to have a dreadful record against us at the dell as it went on for something like 17 years without a win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ericb Posted 23 December, 2018 Share Posted 23 December, 2018 Everton? Everton is the obvious one, we've got something like 5 wins there in entire our history, haven't checked the stats but Forest has always felt a bit of a bogey team and our record against Spurs is pretty damn bad too.

Nordic Saint Posted 23 December, 2018 Share Posted 23 December, 2018 Spurs and Liverhampton These things change. Right up until the early 90s, we were known as Liverpool's bogey team. We have played far more games against Spurs than any other team and so we have an exceptionally high number of both victories and defeats against them. In recent decades they have 'owned' us and have become our current bogey team but hopefully Ralph will change that. Conversely, Arsenal used to be our bogey team but we have become a bit of a bogey team for them in recent years. Overall, apart from the obvious teams, i.e. the ones that every team has a bad record against, like Liverpool and Man United, I agree with ericb and Green: Everton are considered to be our traditional bogey team. We have still beaten them 29 times though (not 5, eric). Contrast that with Pompey's recent record v Liverpool and Arsenal: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrfahaji Posted 24 December, 2018 Share Posted 24 December, 2018 At home it's Man Utd. Only beaten them once at St Mary's in 14 matches against them. Maybe statistically but I’m sure a lot of people would have United as a “bogey” team on that basis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saint1977 Posted 24 December, 2018 Share Posted 24 December, 2018 Ever since I’ve been a supporter since early 1980s Everton mainly. Sheffield Weds awkward in 80s, but Everton have been the constant and suspect they were before that. Arsenal record was bad in 1990s but been good against them at home since we came back up. Can only remember 3 wins at Goodison - early 90s midweek with Glenda header, 2-0 with MLT and Davies and this season in the LC. Had a few wins at home but not many over that many games. Man U we haven’t been bad against, even in their glory years, three straight wins at home in the mid-90s, they considered us as an away game a bogey side. As someone else has said, Watford under Taylor first time around were hard to beat. West Ham feels about evens Stevens. Actually I’ve got one nobody has mentioned - Derby. The 6-2 that got Nicholl sacked, late 80s with Shilts and Wright, Eranio and his cheating mate at Pride Park mid 90s, coming back from 2-0 down opening day after Hassan double under Hoddle and the play offs. Did better against them in the St Mary’s era but still that play off defeat... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weren’t we 3-1 up away to them utterly bossing them and they spawned a late 3-3 draw with Mikkel Beck scoring? God I hated those Derby teams.

Tamesaint Posted 24 December, 2018 Share Posted 24 December, 2018 I can remember going to Maine Road on several occasions and seeing us win. We even won in 2003 just before the cup final when Man City were having a big farewell ceremony. A pity we didn't continue this when they moved to their new stadium!!!

Nordic Saint Posted 24 December, 2018 Share Posted 24 December, 2018 We are a bogey team for Pompey (W19 D10 L9), in what is statistically the most one-sided of all the major derby games in England, Brighton (W23 D13 L8), Bournemouth (W13 D8 L7) and Palace (W42 D16 L28). We have a winning record against about half of the teams currently in the Premier League as well as the vast majority of teams outside of it. Until they moved to the Etihad, we had a winning record v Man City but they have just edged ahead. Our poor overall records v Everton (W29 D23 L48), Leeds (W27 D20 L45) and Spurs (W37 D30 L55) are still better than our record v Arsenal (W21 D26 L49). So, in terms of results, it's Arsenal, although not so much recently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nordic Saint Posted 24 December, 2018 Share Posted 24 December, 2018 In my post #39. 8 and a closing bracket have accidentally produced an emoji, so, for example we have only ever lost 8 games v Brighton. Fortunately,we have nothing as bad in our records as this: Pompey haven't won any of their 51 games against Arsenal or Chelsea over the last 60 years.
