Jake Hesketh played for us in the PL and the Europa League, and is currently working in the city I believe… So you can’t blame JJM one jot for leaving for that money at 17. He’s already a millionaire.

Of course he would 😂 so would their entire team. We could probably pay quadruple the salaries, they’d be outside Staplewood before the phone was put down.

Agree. It’s a much poorer league than last year, and even poorer again from the last time we were down here.

I agree the derby was awful timing and has dominated the start of the season. Fucking glad it’s over to be honest. Hopefully we can all settle down now and get this season up and running.

It was obvious that Downes and Charles wouldn’t work when they played together at Bristol City. Need to break this pairing up.

I thought he played pretty well at Watford and surprised at the stick he’s getting after today. We were basically playing with 10 men thanks to Downes, I’d be aiming the criticism his way personally.

We need something, anything, to kick start the season. All seems a bit pointless and mid-table at the moment, which is not a good place to be.

And that says more about their noddy support

Come off it. It was 0-0, neither of our utter shit won anything. It was terrible all round. January a long way away.

It was but let’s not pretend they were anything special. Their away support is pretty awful now, proper noddy. It was nothing like derbies of old.

You can’t possibly say that. We can’t be much worse in January then we were today, and that’s their max. I’d still bet good money that we’ll comfortably finish well above them.

His subs were baffling today. We finally got a foothold on the game and he makes a load of subs that totally ruined our momentum. He just seems to chuck everyone on when we need a goal. Any sort of plan goes out the window.

To get from where we currently are to winning promotion is looking an incredibly tall order. Be lucky to make top 6 looking at it currently. Can anyone actually confirm what we’re meant to be doing week by week?

Pompey win 0-0 again. Terrible, terrible game. Absolutely nothing happened.

Pompey win 0-0 again. Terrible, terrible game. Absolutely nothing happened.

That, was fucking terrible. The ONLY saving grace is that it’s 0-0. We have to get further up the pitch, they’re pressing us so high that it’s a long ball every single time, just gifting them back possession. Horrible. But 0-0.

With you there. That has to win, surely? They’re salivating over Connor fucking Chaplin.

4 at the back. Will knows what’s required.

That’s the team we all wanted. No excuses. Fucking smash them.

We are yes

Beat these cunts Saints. The city will accept nothing less.

Absolutely. I still remember the last 10 minutes at Fratton in 2019. After being silent the whole game, they decided to sing for the last 10 minutes to show everyone how they're just the bestest and they didn't care about being beaten by big Southampton. Fucking freaks, I'd take two wins against them even if it meant losing every other game this season. Derbies aren't for everyone, and they certainly aren't for their small time support.

Seen a lot of posts online from their lot saying how they’re just coming to enjoy the day, the result is just a bonus and all the pressure is on us. Really bizarre outlook from some of their freaks. Their fans are shitting themselves, rightly or wrongly.

No, but none of those have a bubble. I’m not advocating zero segregation. But no reason they can’t allow train travel and an escort to the ground, but they just can’t be arsed to police it.

In the latest police statement about being naughty, they insisted the bubble was a choice of both clubs rather than the police. Struggle to believe that. Seems pathetic that they can’t cope with a non-bubble really. Only one left in the country isn’t it?
