Whisper it quietly but Saints adverts are appearing on the official Portsmouth FC website, something that will not please the Blue Few.
Christmas is usually a time when those who have ! think of those less fortunate than themselves, therefore it is only natural that Saints supporters should shed a tear of sympathy for Portsmouth fans, after all as Bob Geldof once said.
But say a prayer to pray for the other ones
At Christmas time
It's hard, but when you're having fun
There's a world outside your window
And it's a world of dread and fear
Where the only water flowing is the bitter sting of tears
And the Christmas bells that ring there
Are the clanging chimes of doom
Well tonight thank God it's them instead of you
But it is unusual for the Blue Few to think of us Saints fans in return, therefore the fact that now the Portsmouth Football Club Official Website is now carrying adverts for Saints has got to be something that will rile them into a frenzy usually reserved only for when an ex Saints academy player now plying his trade in League Two visits Fratton Park.
Whether this will result in repercussions with PFC trying to take out advertisements on our web site is yet to be seen, certainly it is an option should there be sufficient funds collected in a whip round at their big Cup tie with the team directly above them in League Two Accrington Stanley on Saturday.
We at Southampton are more beneficent at this time of year and would remind them that if they become members of SFC then they are entitled to £10 off tickets for the game against Watford.
