Portsmouth fc

[Compo's Hat]

Too much hype about this. If the top three all win their next two games then we would no longer go second should Pompey's points be wiped.

[M-U-R-T-Y]

Wouldn't mind us doing something similar with David Norris.

Pompey are one of my least favourite clubs, but even though they've 'cheated', they've only been doing what 90% of other teams have been doing as well (including us if it wasn't for being able to sell enough cash worth of players to cover it, and that's a gamble).

I agree the football community probably needs a club the size of Pompey to go to the wall for them to realise that it's got out of hand, but I'd still feel a bit sorry for the fans for losing their club. As someone else said earlier in the thread it would be a much better outcome to see them sink through the leagues getting beaten week-in week-out whilst getting their house in order.

whilst i agree to a point, i do disagree about feeling sorry for their fans. they were more than happy to gloat with their fa cup that they cheated their way too, and still sing about it, even after the last 3 years of two administrations and a failed cva.

Any club would boast about winning the FA Cup regardless of circumstances. You can bet your arse RFC fans would.

indeed, and if we had won it under the same circumstances then we would also deserve all the stick we get as well. thankfully any new club wont be able to keep the previous clubs trophies.

It'd still have lots of positives and no negatives. And given our record against Pompey I'm not sure beating them is that likely.

[Friday's Legacy]

big sam says "it's grossly unfair" if west ham lose 6 points if pompey can't finish the season. i'd say that was the icing on the cake myself.

oh i dont know. they've just lost liam lawrence and their main striker. they haven't been paid since december and wont again this season. if we get a nice early goal then their heads and hearts drop.

i was just listening to sky and the pompey manager just said that it's very possible they wont finish the season and they have to be prepared for that phone call. west ham's big sam was then interviewed about the 6 points he could lose and he said it was grossly unfair.. bless him. i think that would just be the icing on the cake really!

Well he would, wouldn't he - you can bet he'd keep quiet if the Sham were benefitting.

Rules is Rules Sam - stop whinging!!

[Ian Royal]

Unfair my arse... everyone gets treated exactly the same way. What else does he propose? awarding everyone who's got a game left against them 3-0 victories? How's that fair on the team's who've already lost to an outfit made competitive by cheating? And I bet he'd complain about that if it saw someone pip them to the top two.

Absolutely seeing his fat dough pcunt face on SSN just now made me all the more certain that the only answer here is liquidation for Pompey

what's more, they will reform with a new club and the same fans will support their club, albeit a new club, and like afc wimbledon they will be back in the football league in 10 years time. but they wont have there fa cup honour to crow about!

in short: bollocks to them!

rumours also that they could reform as a new club next season and ground share with waterlooville.

Brilliant..

You have to admit there would be a delicious bit of Karma if Pompey go tits-up and West Ham miss automatic.

West Ham cheated to stay up (officially) and Pompey didn't try against them and got us relegated in the final game.

So between them they cost us a MINIMUM of 40 Million if we'd only lasted one more season.

Of course we might well have consolidated season three and become a good mid-table side and been 200 Million better off


So, frankly, Pompey crashing and taking down West Ham, allowing us in and then up, is just PERFECT.

[M-U-R-T-Y]

... You can't blame anyone but us for being relegated.

Obviously we take the lion's share, but I think we can mention Fulham & Pompey for at least half assists.

Wouldn't it be poetic justice if West Ham, who unfairly stayed in the premiership despite breaking the rules over Tevez, unfairly stayed in the Championship because their points against another cheating club were deducted? It's a beautiful world sometimes. No doubt they'd put in a long-drawn-out appeal ...

[West Stand Man]

I know that there is the culture that says all footy fans should stick together in some sort of brotherhood. The trouble is I would have a high degree of Schadenfreude if this happened, just can't help myself.

[boycey]

Couldn't happen to a nicer bunch.

Feck em.

[AthleticoSpizz]

It not like they haven't got previous

Except it'd only be unfair if it was only their points which were expunged.

It'll be interesting seeing them try to sue a club that's been liquidated or the FL / FA for applying it's laws which already have very clear precidents and West Ham have agreed to abide by.

Thanks for the re-tweet

[M-U-R-T-Y]

It was in our hands, if we'd beaten Fulham we'd have stayed up... not really Pompey's fault, but I'd take -6 off West Ham.
