Not only that, but they relegated us by not trying against Fulham. And when we did beat them, when they were managed by Ian St John, their fans smashed up my uncle's shop in Oxford Road. I'm looking for 6-0.

Yep, this sounds very much like the behaviour of the most overrated set of fans in the country. Beloved by the media for their drum banging blue army singing years in the Prem, in reality they are a nasty bunch of sh*ts from the docks led by this dullard from Petersfield who I have had the misfortune to meet in person - he is as boring in reality as you'd expect.




Tbh, 6-0 wouldn't be enough of a margin to satisfy my antipathy towards this horrible club who from a horrible city who cheated financially for so long and are no creeping back towards their level.

[floyd__streete]

Portsmouth FC - such a f*cking jinx they've even caused this thread to f*ck up

[Irvinchangeyaname]

Not only that, but they relegated us by not trying against Fulham.

Correction, it was us that got ourselves relegated by not trying against Fulham only a few weeks earlier. Even a point against a side that hadn't won away since September 2006 would have kept us up.

[Jinx]

I can assure you it won't be Jinx time cos when this game kicks off I will be boarding a plane at Gatwick for a week on the golf courses of Turkey

And may I say I agree with every word Floyd says above (or below or wherever it is) cheating club, nasty fans. I was hoping they would go under but no such luck

[Hampshire Royal]

John PFC Westwood is a dick of the highest order. When I lived in Petersfield I did a few show in the local theatre, including pantomimes. In one panto I noticed that he was sitting in the audience with his neatly pressed Pompey training top. One of the characters made an anti-Pompey joke and I saw PFC bristling - I thought he was going to run on stage and hit the actor. Now that would have made the national press!!

[The Real Sandhurst Royal]

7-4 sweet revenge.

Saturday sees the return of our jinx team in Portsmouth. No wins from any home game against them since 6th January 1982

1982/83 - Lost 1-2
1986/87 - Drew 2-2
1994/95 - Drew 0-0
1995/96 - Lost 0-1
1996/97 - Drew 0-0
1997/98 - Lost 0-1
2002/03 - Drew 0-0
2006/07 - Drew 0-0
2007/08 - Lost 0-2

So that's a nice tidy run of 9 games, no wins, 5 draws and 4 defeats, scoring a massive 3 goals (or averaging 0.33 goals a game).

In fact we haven't scored at home against them in our last 6 attempts or since the days of Kevin Bremner and Gary Peters (they who scored the last home goals against them)

So, as records are made to be broken, I think its about time we well and truly put this one out of its misery.

We can have a Silver Jubilee for the last home goal we scored against this lot (18.4.87) if we don't score this time.

That is a grim record. I must be one of the few on this board who was there the night we last beat Pompey at home. It was a freeezing cold night so cold that when Kerry Dixon scored you could not hear any clapping as everyone had gloves on.

[PieEater]

Cheating club with horrible fans, who will probably cheat their way to another win against us with a dubious reffing decision.

[kieran]

Well, jealousy can eat you up if you are not careful. BTW on the whole our fans dont seem to have a bad word to say about Reading. In fact when we are not playing you most wish you the best of luck. Not sure if that helps.

Is it really a jinx though? Isnt it just that most of the time we have met (not a fantastic amount really) that Pompey have usually been better? I mean we do the same and refer to Blackburn as a jinx, but in reality they are usually just that little bit better.

Anyway, certainly not expecting the same this time. You are clearly the better side.

BTW - the fans thing is not really a myth. the FA Cup semi final was officially measured as the loudest ever at Wembley at the time. In the prem Pompey were voted best fans four years running and recorded as the loudest average db reading over 5 season (source - the mirror). The media got the impression about the fans as they were at games at Fratton park when it was literally wall to wall non stop 90 minute singing. Henry and Arsenal bowed to all four sides of FP as did Milan. There have been times when the commentary has stopped because they could not be heard. You tube it, witness it for yourself - its no myth. Once again the fans will turn up in their thousands (twice as many as you took to FP) to watch a load of carp (and trust me we are carp). Great fans - yes, a few pratts - absolutely.

Good luck for the play off push after Saturday.
