Pompey as rivals.desperate to be relevant
In the lower leagues, you quickly form new rivalries with the clubs around you. We did it in league 2 with Plymouth when we played them in the play-offs and were going for automatic promotion the year after. It'll all be forgotten if one of us gets promoted, but it's nice to have a rivalry to spice up the fixture list until we have a game against Southampton.
Hopefully you get your Oxford game next year!Swindon and Gillingham lasted for a fair few years but now has died.
Pompey v Southampton the big one for you and Bournemouth and Brighton is like Reading for us. Oxford the one that matters mind you a fair few of ours get lost with the Shit heads and the Gas.
Spot on to be fair she said "fierce" rivals not "fiercest" yes they probably are given the situation of both clubs league status at the moment and the recent important encounters.We're probably each other's biggest rivals in the league this season. Looking at the bookies, they are finding it hard to split us both as title favourites. When you add the fire from last season too with an unexpected cup final and a playoff match up, you can see why there's some bite.
But once one of us gets out of the league, we won't give each other a second glance.
It's not the same type of fierce, tribal local rivary with Newcastle or Southampton. We all just want to get out of this league, fate just decided that our biggest threats are each other.
Isn't there some North American Indian saying that the ferocity and guile of your enemy is a measure of your true worth and standing.
Well we are in League One and our main rival is bleedin Pompey
350 miles away as well only really see them a couple of times its definitely an internet "rivalry". Makes the Coventry one look local suppose taking 5000 there etc etc.Isn't there some North American Indian saying that the ferocity and guile of your enemy is a measure of your true worth and standing.
Well we are in League One and our main rival is bleedin Pompey
AyeApparently some player of their's (Roland Curtis?) says he expects "stick" from us and it's "not unusual"
Anyone else never heard of this melt befoe??
Aye that is correctI heard this morning that three of Pompey's last six away games have been against us.
This, If both teams get promoted we won't give a toss about each other in the Championship.We're probably each other's biggest rivals in the league this season.

Well with any luck it might be back to the traditional rivalries for both clubs us v the mags, also to a lesser extent boro and leeds but still needle. pompey v saints maybe brighton not sure how they see them tho cant be too impressed with them buying their best defender and loaning him out to derby. That's football supposeThis, If both teams get promoted we won't give a toss about each other in the Championship.
One of the nicest lads I've ever known , big Waggy for the Portsmouth lads on here, was a big Portsmouth fan.Even if we’re only talking about League One Pompey are second to Coventry. They are horrible wankers
Hopefully you get your Oxford game next year!
Just seen Doyle signed for you, another Pompey old boy from the Noel Hunt days. Should be a damn good signing so long as your momentum is good, he's a good League 1 striker.
She mentioned that Steve Bruce played for Norwich in the 1985 Milk cup final. Wonder how many times she brings that up!!Did she mention Barcelona being Newcastle's
