buctootim Posted 21 November, 2014 Share Posted 21 November, 2014 (edited) So Fish was a Lg2 player but had serious knee injury that he didn't recover from and led to him getting released by the mighty Gillingham. This is the guy they're banking on to help them? Sheesh I'm no football manager but instead of picking up crocked journeymen who has played 8 times in two years surely they should be looking to loan the energy and ability of improving young players from the Championship or even Lg1.

rallyboy Posted 21 November, 2014 Share Posted 21 November, 2014 not quite, the funniest bit was that he refused to recognise a downturn and instead continued to give it large about how great pompey were and how we were all jealous of their new billionaire owners, harbourdome etc - until his views became so bonkers that he frightened himself and legged it. Never in the history of forum threads have so many people been amused by so few - mainly one deluded bloke who dug himself a hole so big that Avram could have walked right in there and made a plucky speech. The classic Ho posts that are regularly dug out are as funny as the statue of Ted, and footage of Penny the diving wardrobe going off the topboard with the aerial grace of a vending machine in a swimsuit, combined.

One has been injured and is here to regain full fitness, hardly what we need. I am certainly not blaming Awfs......his hands are tied by the board. Lets see what happens in January.......if the board do not invest in better players than we have then the crowd will turn against them. If we truly own our club we should be listened to.

Frank's cousin Posted 22 November, 2014 Share Posted 22 November, 2014 Yes but to be fair Southampton fans have been predicting Pompeys relegation every year since they achieved promotion and it hasn't happened. In fact during that time Southampton have slipped to the THIRD tier of English football. Perhaps rather than focus on this obsession with Portsmouth and all the pain that that invokes should set sights on more realistic local rivals such as Bournemouth or Swindon otherwise just sounds like bitter jealousy. I mean really look at the relative fixture lists next season not to mention the playing squads and then take a sharp rerality check. A post from page 3.....

Fitzhugh Fella Posted 22 November, 2014 Author Share Posted 22 November, 2014 In recognition of going past the 100,000 posts milestone, I have done a little research into one of the enduring myths as to why Southampton people are known as scummers. According to our fishy friends it is all to do with a strike being held in Portsmouth which was broken by casual labourers from Southampton. I could find no references to this myth but did uncover a story which sort of puts the boot on the other foot. Ladies and Gentlemen (and Nutjobs) I give you the true story of the 1890 Southampton Dock Strike. Portsmouth’s involvement in the 1890 Southampton Dock Strike. In 1890, emboldened by the London Dock labourers’ success of the previous year when they won the “Dockers tanner” (sixpence an hour), and by news of similar increases gained at Portsmouth and Plymouth, the Southampton dockers formed a union and decided to strike for more pay, shorter hours and recognition of the union. They were duly offered five pence per hour for day work and sixpence for night work but were denied recognition for their union. The men subsequently downed tools at midnight of the 7th of September and assembled in a crowd outside the dock gates, completely blocking Canute Rd and access to and from the docks. On the 9th the strikers were joined by many seamen as well as “town roughs” according to contemporary sources and all work now came to a standstill. The police made repeated charges but were unable to clear the road whereupon the mayor – James Bishop – applied for troops and 280 men of the Yorkshire Light Infantry were sent over from PORTSMOUTH. The Riot Act was read by Bishop after which the troops attempted to push the crowd away with the butts of their rifles and later with fixed bayonets, but were met with volleys of stones, one of which struck the mayor. There were calls for the troops to open fire but the mayor stayed calm and instead ordered the fire brigade to use hoses and a small area was cleared enough for the troops to occupy a passageway. Some of the mob took revenge by rushing up to East St and demolished the mayor’s boot-and-shoe shop, while others went the next day to his house in Grosvenor Square where the troops stationed outside to protect it threatened to open fire. Meanwhile some strikers had now gained access to the Docks from Southampton Water and the shipping companies appealed to the Admiralty who then sent two gunboats and a torpedo boat from PORTSMOUTH. The stand off came to an end when the shipping companies revised their offer which the strikers accepted “for the time being”. Several of the rioters were given three months imprisonment, while others were fined or bound over. The mayor meanwhile was given a unanimous vote of thanks by his fellow magistrates but the strain of the dispute brought on congestion of the brain from which he did not recover for some months, after which he removed himself and his business to……yes, you’ve guessed it, PORTSMOUTH!

Put that together with the genuine story of docks rivalry between Millwall and West Ham on the Thames and you have a portsmyth. Repeat it twice in a Portsea pub and it's officially a fact. Tomorrow, we explain how Marcus drove a tank for the SS several years before he was born and we then clarify how the administrations of portsmouth football club and Southampton Leisure Holdings were absolutely identical and the scummahs didn't pay their imaginary CVA and they don't own their ground.
