South Coast Leviathans...

[Bevendean Hillbilly]

Is it possible that, for the first time, there will be three South Coast EPL clubs?

With Bournemouth ( who?), Southampton and Brighton in the top tier perhaps we can finally move on from our association with the Croydon jester boys and look forward instead to steaming through sleepy Bournemouth and the skate.

We can keep some sort of morbid interest in the arson clowns of dulwich, obvs. But rivalry? It is beneath us.

Great use of the word LEVIATHAN. Definitely the preferred nom de plume for any South Coast sea dwelling club.

Would be great to see but no one will eclipse the Croydonites for me with regards our serious rivals.

We do owe Saints though. The penalty 5 yards outside the box still rankles with me.

Was thinking exactly this last night, while at the same time relishing Pompey being in the basement.

 

[Bevendean Hillbilly]

What with the twisted firestarters in the decline and Albion bestriding the earth like a colussus surely Palace could become like a despised pervy uncle who is tolerated with great reservation.

What do you mean 'could become'?

I always regarded Portsmouth as the real rivals until the internet goons of croydon arrived on the scene.

 

[Notters]

Would be great to see Plymouth do well too to really rub it into Portsmouth's scars.

 

[The Birdman]

I agree always thought Portsmouth as rivals before Palace thought we would a push over and they came down for a pre season friendly and caused mayhem and started the tit for tat games.

The Ziz up the rail line needs a broken wing. The five penaties needs to be equalled at the very least.

You are not alone on this, there's quite a few of us on here who have what I describe as a sickening hatred towards PFC. Would I want Palace to go bust? No of course I wouldn't. Portsmouth on the other hand hell yeah.

'Who' are on current form the bestest team on the south coast. Sleepy Bournemouth? 30 years late with that one pal...

Seriously though - would be great. If you got up I know you'd want someone more glam, but Brighton v Bournemouth on a steaming hot day in August would be great to kick off your first PL season. IF we stay up!

You're what...8 clear of the drop with ten to play and woeful villa, toon and blunderland in the mix? Don't be so gloomy.

Perhaps....but when has a proper lower league fan been that optimistic? SHOULD be OK - three more wins (41 points) should do it, although we may only need two and a few draws. Seems so close now.....

steaming through sleepy Bournemouth and the skate.

.

Just to offer some help (takes on a slight high tone voice with a touch of condescension and patronising manner) - it is Portsmouth that are referred to as "Pompey Skate" not Southampton; Southampton are referred to as "The Scummers".
Neither of which is important as to both of them we are just competitive rivals only and not footballing enemies.

Come on Plymouth. Sleeping giant

You can't have rivals with the same colours. Southampton are Portsmouth's rivals.

 

[Not Andy Naylor]

All the London clubs are closer to us than Southampton, and Bournemouth is even more distant. To have a pretend rivalry with either just because we are close to the same bit of water makes no sense. You might as well suggest that Norwich and Sunderland are East Coast rivals.
