2. In that time they have finished above us in 7 seasons and below us 53 times

3. Passion is about the number of pallets you can balance on a flat bed truck

Everyone knows the criteria for gauging how big and special a club you are, is attendance records and titles won pre-1940.

Should we not now be counting their noddy attendance at the Kassam as the lowest away following ever?
They had more pallets than fans

And there’s me thinking it was because “people go to war” from there (forgetting of course the hundreds of thousands, if not millions of fighting men who’ve embarked from 17 miles further west than their shithole).

'people went to war'from Portsmouth.
Those people came from all over the nation, not just Portsmouth.
Why anyone would try and get any credit for that is ludicrous.

Little Pompey's average league position over the last 60 years is 39th, (39.4), so after next season in the third tier, it will be at least 40th. Saints' average league position during the last 60 years is 18th (17.8). As Nick says, we have been above them in 53 of the last 60 years and there is usually a league between us.

As for war, the only times Portsmouth was attacked, by Parliamentarians from this area in the English Civil War and by French raiders who went there for rape and pillage, the men of Portsmouth either ran away or surrendered.

Let's not forget, they lead the way for being the birth place of Hampshire's greatest footballers born in Surrey and Sussex.

It sounds odd I know but apparently Bobby Tambling once owned a sports shop in Havant, which therefore means he was born in Portsmouth ( in the small village of Storrington up in the Sussex Downs).

There is also the fact, that although he was born in Storrington, played his whole career for Chelsea and as a boy supported Blackpool, Portsmouth played some matches against Blackpool so it's possible Bobby Tambling might have gone to Fratton Park to support Blackpool. Next, we'll find out why Thierry Henry was another of Hampshire's greatest footballers born in Portsmouth. To be fair, you do see a lot of Arsenal shirts there.

To emphasise just how much we have dominated Little Pompey over the last 60 years, this season should see our 22nd top 12 finish. In the same period, Little Pompey have had just 2.

Not sure what this obsession is with just the '60 years' to be honest.

Is it to make your club look better than they are? I think for a balanced approach, one needs to look at the whole picture, starting today and going back.


In the last 20 years we have . . . 1 v 4
Soton 1 league trophy
Pompey 1 FA cup, 2 lower league titles, 1 league trophy

In the last 40 years we have . . . 1 v 5
Soton 1 league trophy
Pompey 1 FA cup, 3 lower league titles, 1 league trophy

In the last 60 years we have: . . . . 2 v 6
Soton 1 FA cup, 1 league trophy
Pompey 1 FA cup, 4 lower league titles, 1 league trophy

In the last 80 years we have . . . 3 v 8
Soton 1 FA cup, 1 lower league titles, 1 league trophy
Pompey 1 FA cup, 2 National titles, 4 lower league titles, 1 league trophy

In the last 100 years we have . . . 4 v 10
Soton 1 FA cup, 2 lower league titles, 1 league trophy
Pompey 2 FA cup, 2 National titles, 5 lower league titles, 1 league trophy

In the last 120 years we have . . . 7 v 15
Soton 1 FA cup, 2 lower league titles, 1 league trophy + 3 Southern titles
Pompey 2 FA cup, 2 National titles, 5 lower league titles, 1 league trophy + 2 southern titles & 3 western titles

In the last 140 years we have . . . 9 v 15
Soton 1 FA cup, 2 lower league titles, 1 league trophy + 5 Southern titles
Pompey 2 FA cup, 2 National titles, 5 lower league titles, 1 league trophy + 2 southern titles & 3 western titles

In fact as the list clearly shows that its not until we go back 140 years that Soton FC show what a superb football club they were with those 5 Southern league titles, and it is the only era when Soton were winning things, and Pompey weren't.

Its also interesting that its only when we go back to 120 and 140 years ago that Soton manage to add more than 1 trophy to their overall haul. That was the time when Soton were a feared club.

Now, if we were to check the respective clubs and their being runners up in competitions, then that is when the Saints really show their dominance.

Let's face it. Nobody, apart from fans of small teams like Royal Engineers, Old Etonians and Little Pompey, remembers or cares what happened in football 70 or more years ago.

You are what you are now and you ARE lower league rubbish, playing in a small, decrepit ground. Even your own fans admit that.

OK, we'll just settle for the last 20 years then

4-1 to Pompey, which has got a nice ring to it. A bit of a thrashing to be honest.

Not as good as 4-0 though, is it? As I said, you are what you are now: a little team that got thrashed at home by your bigger neighbours.

lets be honest you would swap the 4-0 win for the 4-1 trophy haul at the drop of a hat, and you know it.

We have achieved more in the last 20 years than your club has achieved in its total history, and in an era when we had the money pulled from the club ie 10 years in the doldrums.
