Portsmouth

[blade.i.am]

Was she in the Royal Navy, or did she play for Portsmouth?

In the WRNS

The twat with the bell and the fact they won an FA Cup with money they were never going to be able to afford to repay is reason enough to dislike them.

John Westwood, walked past him in Gunwarf Quays once...Looks just as big a cunt in real life, that bell would do my fucking box in

I live between Pompey (Skates) and Southampton (Scummers) I'm drawn more towards Scummers than Skates, due mainly to the beautiful red n white, but also because I hate that fucking bell

 

[Cerberus Blade]

They also know how to do pitch invasions properly eh?

No "please wait nicely behind the barriers whilst the players with their WAGS and kids take nearly an hour to do a lap of appreciation". Just saying like...

 

[INTAKE BLADE]

All down to donny bottling it in a big way. Donny threw the title in a spectacular way, I'd imagine the engravers were etching the letter D in weeks ago.

1948-9 and 1949-50. My Dad used to watch them, doing his national service in the navy at the time. In fact that's where he met my mum.

They won it twice. In and around 1949 they were on the cover of nearly every football book. Perhaps the biggest club of the day publicity wise
The Pig rag with nothing better to print bored us tu death with the fact that the pigs and Pompey had two cousins called Froggatt playing football for them

My pre season treble of Hibs/Newcastle/Pompey to win the league looked dead all season. Cant believe it goes into the last game.

They had a player, Jimmy Dickinson who made more league appearances for them than any other player has made for one club. 700+. Not sure if that record still stands.

Still hanging on the coattails of the real massives even then

Tbf I quite like Portsmouth they have proper fans like us who turn out win loose or draw

But crooked owners who took the club under and fucked to local businesses over. So not very like us.

Are these examples of these, er, bottom bashers of which I have just learned?

Been there a few times in crowds of 40,000. Very good atmosphere, very loud, proper club as they say nowadays.

She was a ballboy on the Fratton End

Why have they won it by default ?
They got the most points at the end of the season, and as far as I know Cheltenham didn't field a weaken side.

Ignore me, had Donny as part of a 3 team accumulator with Chelsea and Newcastle

Wasn`t happy Sat, and the 8 pints Sat night made me a touch bitter
Was hoping Brighton could win yesterday, so a double sickener.

Even if you haven`t been top ALL season, and nick it cos the two teams above you have a meltdown you still are worthy champions.

Ouch mate.
Mine went the other way I had United, Portsmouth and Newcastle in a treble.
3-4 weeks ago I would have snatched your hand off if you had offered to swop our bets. Must be the luckiest bet I have ever got up.

Congratulations to Pompey on joining a small, elite club of champions of all four divisions.

Ryan Gigs - 963 appearances for ManUre. Which is astonishing in any era but doubly so these days.

Just his brothers wasn't it? I bet that makes for an interesting Christmas Day in round the Gigg's. Gives a whole new meaning to "who's stuffing the bird"

Are you a leg or a breast man. Ooeeeerrr.

I'm all about the breasts. Although these days I'd probably have bigger tits than my date.
