"Portsmouth v Arsenal"

Great display by the Gunners. But that's not what I want to talk about.

Those Portsmouth fans - absolutely AMAZING!

Never stopped singing, even at 0-5 down. Chants of "Can we play you every week?" and a standing ovation for the Arsenal players as they left the pitch.

I've never seen any supporters of any team anywhere in the world behave like that, especially when on the wrong end of a thrashing.

Very refreshing, and all the credit in the world to them. Fans of many other clubs could learn a lot from them.

Well done, Pompey fans!

Aye.

I'm sure there's some subtle buggery going on in some of those.

Hmm a pompey fan not remembering Wayne Bridge's celebration......

I suppose it was just one of those moments that you want to forget....

I thought it was pure genius.

Been posting on SR for 462 days. I think you just didn't notice me :(

I've been posting more and more often since december when I got broadband, that's probably why it seems I have only just come to SR.

You what? You enjoyed watching grown men jump about with each other?

Hmmm...


> SO yeah I think I have pretty much proved that point.

Hmmm, how come you only really popped up on SR this season then? How convenient...

Bleedin' Norah. Of course I know Pompey hate the saints. I was just making a comment about the generosity and pleasantness (if thats a word) shown by the pompey fans....

I was at that game, and his celebration was fantastic, one of my favourite moments of the season. We just sung his name for the rest of the game. Classic.

And what is this fabricated story about how I joined Chelsea along with Abrahamovic...?

I've had a season ticket for 6 years, and back in the day, my Dad went to every home game of the 1970/71 season before he got a job. My first match was against Barnet in a FA Cup 4th round replay in 1994. I've been to every Cup Final since then:

4-0 defeat to Man Yoo at Wembley in '94
2-0 win over Boro in '97
Coca Cola Cup win over Boro in '98
1-0 Win over Aston Vanilla 2000 at Wembley
2-0 defeat to Arsenal 2002 at Cardiff

I travel to some away grounds, where and when I can get tickets, i.e Villa Park, Highbury, 3 point Lane, Upton Park (when the Hammers were in premiership)

SO yeah I think I have pretty much proved that point.

Heh silly chelski fan :o

Rivals?

Chelsea are nothing but our whipping boys! ;-)

Yes, thats because he played for Southampton, and Pompey and the saints have a rivalry which means they don't like each other.

You should know about this as you have one with Arsenal.

Oh, you only really started supporting Chelsea this season? Ah.

Well that is to be expected, Saints and Pompey hate each other and it happens to a number of players in the Premeirship whether they used to play for that team or for their closest rivals.
