The Pompey Thread

[Mystic Force]

If I remember correctly he left to flog paint or kitchen countertops or some such.

 

TLDR The players are not very good and the players have realised they are not very good and that has made them worse.

To their credit this simple improvised chant is pretty amusing to watch.

Gallows humour from those blue few still in the stadium when 4-0 down...

 

They are good fans, period. Hampshire humour

Big point against the mighty Cheltenham Town to keep them 5 points clear of the relegation zone.

[Coerezza]

Why have the Eisner family bought Pompey? At the time thought they might be after a leisure complex here on the South Coast incorporating a stadium, but after four years there doesn't seem to be any discernible plan.

Don't much care anyway but curious - anyone heard any whispers?

Rumour has it that they wanted to buy the Mary Rose..but got confused and instead of buying a sunk ship they ended up buying a sinking ship in Pompey FC.

Hanging on against Harrow and storming into the next round😉

Doesn't invalidate your point, but that was Tuesday, not today. They were busy today scraping a 1-0 win against Harrow Borough from the 7th tier (I think - might be 8th) of English football.

Less than 7000 there. Thierry Henry would be embarrassed 

[Danbert]

This reads like a parody. I particularly the line about Portsmouth's "infamous landmarks".

That is hilarious. 

I have been to Portsmouth and 7 of the other 9 listed cities. I can confidently statr that Portsmouth is completely unlike the other cities.

Speaking with HampshireLive, she said: "I often describe Portsmouth as the 'biggest village' because you always meet people who know people.

They all know each other because they're all fookin' related. Never have so many cousins been seen in the same place at the same time, yet another portsea island "wow factor".

They were just congratulating Pompey on MOTD for the achievement of reaching the FA Cup 2nd(second) round four years in a row….!!

A 1-0 away win at Wycombe today. That's 4 games without defeat now which can only mean this is the start of their unstoppable march back towards the Premier League where their magnificent fan base deserve to be.

They should minus the charities money that they stole before giving that lot anything. It’s just hand out after handout to that lot. 

[Jonnyboy]

If they aren't stealing from charities, they're screwing them over in some other way.

Being cynical no doubt there is a winner out there who was expecting this to happen.

[OldNick]

I get the Pompey News feed on my Facebook for some weird reason.

It seems the template for any report is

Win = The fans roared them to victory

Draw = The fans roared them to a fantastic point and if it wasnt for them....

Lose = The fans turned up and roared them on and it was a plucky defeat

Lose badly = The fans were fully behind the team and the boos were by the opposition fans as they didnt want to win

Knocked out of the cup to lower league opposition at home,  in the last minute. Must've shat themselves at the prospect of potentially facing Saints in the 3rd round.

[Chez]

Up the Sulphurites. With a bit of luck Town will get the chance to beat them twice a season from next season. Would have loved have been in Milton end cheering them onto a last minute victory, but was at the game at St Marys.

Their stadium is special, says Neil Allen, in an "article" consisting of quotes dragged from his dubious books.

Big point away from home at the mighty 10-man Cambridge United to keep them within touching distance of playoff heartbreak.

[rallyboy]

A draw with Cambridge can be considered a good result - if you're in a fucking boat race!

I hear that the medical staff treating the seriously-ill fan were greatly impressed by the small freak group armed with a bell and drums, battering their eardrums throughout the solemn incident.

[mack rill]

washing time at Saint Fairy's wondered where the new chapman's would be. expect to see Liam Neeson walk out of the office after putting the rent up 20%

Look what happened to us after playing with the eastern block.

[rallyboy]

Good effort Mack, nice to see you're okay - but I am disappointed...

By now I would expect to see several freshly-written portsmyths doing the rounds, you know - SS tank drivers, fantasy dock strikes, war crimes, Serbian mafia, all the usual stuff.

But all I've seen offered so far was someone who clearly can't grasp basic maths who thinks Jack Grealish cost the same as the club.

So many numbers to remember, it's difficult....then letters as well....it's too much.

Nathan Lyon the Aussie spin bowler was just shown on TV sitting in the crowd wearing a Pompey shirt.

I always hated the bald cunt.

Blue shirt, skate logo, "University of Skatesmouth" emblazoned across the front. Not sure about it being Lyon though.

The commentary said it was Lyon and I am sure that nobody would wear a Pompey shirt by mistake. 🙂

Looks a bit like him but why would he be out at about in a stand at the opoosite side of the ground from the changing rooms during his side's innings, and moving behind the bowler whilst his team mate was batting ?

[Fan The Flames]

I don't like the idea of wearing a football shirt to the cricket.

Mack should be able to identify him, he's got to be related.

Ian Darke not enjoying the fishy fayre on offer. 

 

[rallyboy]

Portsmouth goalkeeper Alex Bass admits the facilities at loan club Bradford City are better than they are with the Blues.

 

The jealous rejects always make up stuff like this, not like the plucky replacement heroes coming in who appreciate that they have finally reached the promised land.

It can't be true....unless of course Bradford bought two ping-pong tables in the Sports Direct sale, and have a ground that doesn't come with an awning and a jockey wheel.
