Portsmouth

[SalopianBlade]

Another team has joined the gang in the same season as the Blades.

Portsmouth have now won all top four professional divisions of English football. The others being Burnley, Wolves, Blades and Preston.

A slightly less prestigious status now?

Well done to Portsmouth btw.

First time two teams have done it in one season I believe

 

[Whiston Blade]

Pfft, we did it back when it was cool...

It's a fair point to make. We achieved something special and then another team goes and does the same.

It is my first post so I can understand your cautious approach.

We got 100 points so fuck dem sailor boys.

 

[JohnDenver]

Prestigious isn't quite the word.

 

[Tyler Durden]

Can't stand Portsmouth to be honest.

I am shocked

 

[tomtheblade]

It is an unusual accolade.. but i still think its something to be proud of

Being a Blade may not be covered in glory, but its certainly never boring*

*(Blackwell era notwithstanding)

In fact the very mention of their name darkens my otherwise sunny, happy-go-lucky demeanour.

When did Pompey ever win the first division, never knew they had done?

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.

Yep. 'Cos the Adkins era was a real barrel of laughs.

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

 

[Treeton Blade]

I think today makes them the luckiest ever title winners.

Won it by default.

Still counts though I suppose.

That's kind of the point.. dealing with both the good times and the bad is what makes us interesting.

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.

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

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

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.
