Spot on. As a Saints fan there's slightly more anticipation and it means a slight bit more than your average league game now, but apart from that I and many other Saints fans have nothing against you. We both have our proper rivals and there's nothing wrong with having a bit of banter over this...
Well if '90%' of people would really believe that then they are thick. Pompey only beat us in ONE of the determining factors. The other 7 listed, we comfortably smash them in.
You seem to think you are a bigger club than Saints, you are not. You know that full well. So does everyone else on here. We are a far bigger club than you and Palace. We also are bigger than Pompey, but not by that much. If you read my previous post, I gave 7 reasons why we are bigger than...
The only claim they have to be bigger than us is trophies won. The other things that a size of a club is based on are:
Attendances,
Fanbase,
Stadium,
Facilities,
Infrastructure,
Time spent in higher divisions,
Record against each other
etc etc etc all of which we absolutely dwarf them. I make...
The fact is we would have got more but were limited by the Dell. Pretty simple, I think anyone would be able to understand that. Someone else put the same to you. 9k capacity at the Withdean, so is your fanbase 9,000? No. Neither was ours 15,000.
The facts are as mentioned, they can just about scrape 10k through the gates, in a shit, run down heap. We are getting double their attendances, and we even were when in League One and they were in the Prem. If that doesn't say everything, then nothing will. They will never come close to having...
Brighton could comfortably be bigger than Portsmouth soon, but to think Saints are smaller than Pompey is ridiculous.
My order:
Saints
Pompey
Brighton (Just behind, and soon to overtake)
The fact that every single poster has got Pompey as a bigger club than Saints..
We have spent most of our history in leagues above them,
Our record against them is much better than theirs against us,
We have a MUCH bigger fanbase,
We got bigger crowds than them in League One than they did in...
This is where you're wrong. We passed Ipswich off the park last night. (56% possession) We completely out-footballed them and tore them a new arsehole. Except we don't f*** around with it at the back, it's attacking.
Now now lads, I thought you were going to not care about us when you went up...
What a load of bollocks. You know 100% that our rivalry with Pompey is much bigger than anything you'll ever experience, and to say that we're more obsessed than you are, then why have there been a large number of threads about us in the last few months, why did you change your pre-match music...
What a stupid thing to say. What do you expect when we come back in the last minute of normal time to win and take us back into the automatic promotion places. It was a huge goal.
I know, I know. Just instant reaction, I was bloody over the moon obviously.
You have deserved the league easily and have been much more consistent. It was evident today that you weren't at your best, and you nearly beat us without needing to be. Congratulations, hopefully see you lads next season.
A physiotherapist that had a plan B and C after things weren't going for us, even after outplaying you for 90 minutes. I don't see much difference actually, no.
