A Tale of Two Cities

[Saints foreva]

This is by far the best picture I have ever seen of Fratton Park..

Not at all. You open your mouth and put your foot in it if you think that my referring to the preponderance of tattoos on Portsmouth's women folk amounts to name calling. Do you dispute it?

 

Lots of women in Portsmouth have tattoos. However, whenever I visit Southampton I have noticed that it's not exactly uncommon for women there to have them also. Have you not noticed this? If not, i suggest yo change your name to Stevie Wonder

 

I haven't read a word of this thread, but is it safe to say that Portsmouth fans are saying Portsmouth is better, and Southampton fans are saying Southampton is better? Shock horror....

 

As usual people miss the point. I'm not saying Portsmouth's better. What I am saying, in response to Stevie Wonder's post about quality of life is that every facility, leisure opportunity or attraction he listed can be matched by Portsmouth. Both cities are typical UK cities. Not much difference really. Some good areas, some bad areas. But I have already posted a link in this thread that shows that social deprivation is greater in Southampton than Portsmouth

 

Check out crime stats, Portsmouth is worse for vehicle theft & burglary but Southampton is far worse for violence against the person.

Southampton is also, apparently, the third worst city in the country for alcohol related violence, behind Kingston upon Hull in Yorkshire and London.

Maybe it is because more of us are literate.

 

Interseting that so many more Southampton schools are listed in the latest list of worse performers than Portsmouth schools then

Who really gives a flying about any of this. At the end of the day you're a Pompey mong obsessively posting on a Southampton Football Club messageboard. That very fact makes Southampton the winner every time.

 

Us lot couldn't give two sh*ts about your toilet of a city, but have a little pat on the head for all the little bits of research you've done.
