“The result was irrelevant (although a win would have been unreal)”

Contradiction right there when talking about our defeat of their kids by our kids.

Not pissed off that we beat them at all. Or that we’re in the final. The sad fuckers.

Whatever happens in the final The Mag will have an article about the outcome. If we win it will be 'look how small time Sunderland are celebrating a tin pot trophy win.' If we lose it will be 'Haha Sad Mackems couldn't even win the tin pot cup etc'

Of course it will.
But nothing we do could ever compare with the splendour of Scott Parket holding up the Inter Toto Certificate.

I am sorry if I got that wrong. I was quoting a figure I saw earlier this season. I think you got a 48000 gate on Boxing day plus another 40000+ gate since then, both phenomenal gates for this level, so that will obviously have put the average up. When you see gates like that it is a wonder that clubs such as Accrington Stanley compete at the same level, and more than hold their own. We played Rochdale in an evening game and they had 69 visiting supporters which some people found derisory. I personally see them as the magnificent 69, real supporters. Clubs such as Rochdale & Bury are right on the doorstep of Manchester United & City so it must be very difficult for them to survive. Sunderland is a bit bigger city than Portsmouth but the catchment area down here is quite large. The nearest club to Pompey is Southampton to the West (about 15 miles down the road) and Brighton to the East (50 miles away). The border lines of the surrounding area are very defined though to which team you would support. The rivalry between Portsmouth and Southampton is very deep seated and goes beyond football. I know there are rivalries all round the country with yours being Newcastle and local derbies are very intense but I bet there are not many more bitter than the Pompey v Southampton games. I am prattling now aren't I so I better go.
 
Well done Solskjaer as Bailly was playing as if he'd been pulled out of the fans in the crowd! :lol:

Only one way to find out how bitter your rivals are, has a Southampton massage board posted a poll about how little they care that you've reached the finals of a lower division cup? If not the mags will once again be the most bitter fans
