I foresee us attempting to overturn that 10 point penalty if we fall short. After all, I think it was the previous owners who promised they wouldn't appeal, wasn't it? Wouldn't be surprised if Cortese and co were looking into it.

Southampton v Portsmouth is an upcoming FA tie Pompey fans call Southampton fans "Scummers" cos Southampton provided scab labour in the '30s when Portsmouth dockers were on strike. Southampton fans call Pompey fans "Skates" cos Portsmouth is both a naval base and a fishing port, there are large numbers of horny sailors and fish (with large mouths) such as the common skate in Portsmouth, and on lonely nights at sea, the sailors would use the skate's mouth to.....yeah... uncle_whuppity 15:28, arf, barf, reply Which is, oddly a barrowload of ********, of course. Pompey 'mushers' call sailors 'Skates' because the naval junior rating's collar has two peaks and a valley, representing some sort of ladypart, and the Skate is allegedly the only fish with a **** halfway up it's back. Southampton fans call Mushers 'Skates' because it winds them up. No self-respecting, peederfil-killing Musher would ever want anything to do with the Royal Navy, that erstwhile organisation that has kept the city on the map for four hundred years and provided adequate dilution of the local soup-thick gene pool. Happy to help ... stan2a10shun 17:20, arf, barf, reply Another example of an animal with a **** half way up it's back. deep_stoat 17:26, arf, barf, reply kerching 19:57, arf, barf, reply *Sounds QI klaxon* Both of those explanations have been debunked. There is no record of any strikes in the Portsmouth docks in that time frame and, besides, Portsmouth was naval and Southampton was merchant so there would have been little overlap. And the "skate" term was a term for sailors in general, adopted by a Southampton fanzine to cause maximum offence. The real mystery is why Portsmouth is referred to as "Pompey". There are numerous theories but no consensus. arseface 16:48, arf, barf, reply soooooooooooooo..... think you've got a chance against Southampton and staying in business eh? uncle_whuppity 17:54, arf, barf, reply I'm confident of beating the scum Pompey have been playing well since about October, and Avram is doing well with limited resources. Should be enough to see off a team a couple of divisions below. Staying in business? Hmm... less bullish about that. Without investment, the club is up slack alley... being the first Prem club to go into administration looks almost a certainty. Why did Citeh get all the rich arabs? arseface 20:51, arf, barf, reply Is it because they're all ****s? ...pic of you know which pompey fan.... Imagine getting your season ticket and finding out you're sat next to that bellend. deep_stoat 17:01, arf, barf, reply Yes. Wearing a Harrington over a football top. The tasteless ****. edmor 22:50, arf, barf, reply That made me quite literally "lol" Mind you, I've just had a smoke... grimly_fiendish 0:36, arf, barf, reply I stood directly in front of him away at Ipswich years ago and was ****ted accidentally on the head with the bell. He apologised and said he wasn't usually that drunk. Which is a lie. arseface 20:45, arf, barf, reply THAT FELLA ABOVE he's in Cass Pennant' Terrace Legends. Even in the form of written word, I wish he were up the opposing end' stand... 'I wasn't one of the main lads but i done my fair share of brawling like...' Bell. End. Of. Story. meatandtwoveg 17:33, arf, barf, reply Britains Got Talent auditions "proceeding to plan" says Cowell el_presidente 17:29, arf, barf, reply He "is a would" says simon_cowell spank_daley 17:33, arf, barf, reply He "is a have" says tgp livingtoloaf 23:31, arf, barf, reply They've sat him up next to the away fans on the Milton End and South Stand, now. Most Pompey fans can't stand the **** stan2a10shun 17:22, arf, barf, reply

If only there was an example we could draw on of a lower league minnow defeating a high-flying team from the top division - say, Man Utd - in the final. hmmm

No really, what are you a professor of?

Amazing result. Well done saints!

I think he's a jolly nice chap.

Pauline Fowler a better bet.

He is frustrating in that he often chooses the wrong final option but we always lose it a bit when he goes off. PS can't help thinking our profligacy in front of goal last night will cost us. Tie should be out of sight by now. PPS oy! Antonio! Pass!!!!

Actually, I'd quite like to bite Claridge's hand off anyway.

I wouldn't bite his hand off. I'd prefer promotion to a cup by a million miles.

Stock is different gravy. Someone had to say it. No, really.

Amazing. Excellent player. Great biz.

Yeah, 'cause all teams always play at the same time, don't they?

are we signing Fonzie?

Quite so. It's amazing how many people on here bleat 'he's smaaaaalllll' about Perry, whilst at the same time failing to see how he has been picked at centre backs by countless good managers, including in the Prem and never seems to have a stinker. Oh, and he wins a fair few 'vital' headers.

Norwich is caught in a time warp. The last time I went there they had only just discovered toast.

MeLT

keep trying

He looks really scared.

and Christian Dailly

we have needed a decent centre back for the last 15 years

Saintskates?

Still more than Pompey get, with their supposedly magnificent support.
