I wouldn't go that far. I enjoy hating them. Look at the hype in the build up to Sunday. I would miss that if they die. In my eyes, if they die, so will a bit of us.
Being 24 I can relate to a lot of this.
Pompey just didn't register on my radar. I knew they were our rivals but didn't really care about them. That is until that Carling Cup match when they booed the Ted Bates minutes silence. From that moment on, I hated them.
Was on the pitch within 4.5 seconds of MLT's goal against Arsenal

Played Football with Alan Ball
Played football with David Hughes (although I didn't really notice him with MLT and Ball on the pitch)
Been tweeted by MLT
Walked down a catwalk with Jason Dodd, Ken Monkou, Matt Oakley and a couple of other players I forget now
I'm sure there's more things I've done and I realise some of these don't exactly paint a brilliant picture of me.
Seems most clubs are singing it now.
Liverpool, Stoke, Chelsea, QPR, Wolves, Bolton, Swansea and even Leicesetr tried singing it when we played them.
Where we've been out of the top flight for a while, its lost its identity of being our song.
Man United take flares everywhere. They had one at the City v United derby not long ago. It's fine to let one off, just for the love of god do not throw it!
