WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 what do you do if you support Pompey by the way? Go and support a local non-league team? Swallow your pride and support Southampton? Give up on football? I couldn't imagine it! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaliMag Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 He has a set of groupies as well. Pikeys tbh. You're not far off. He's wierd... his groupies are also very odd. A freak show to be sure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I've seen them a few times, probably as many times as the collective group have ever showered. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cubaricho Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 A sad day for the league. Always had a soft-spot for Pompey. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest gggg Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 Couldn't give a fuck what happens to them tbh. They cheated, they fiddled, they got into a mess as a result and now they're on the brink. Tough shit - play by the rules. Except I do. There hasn't been a club who deserved to die more. They should have been liquidated earlier in the year, most clubs would have learnt their lesson then but the fact that they still try to cheat by signing players for a promotion push while still in admin and losing 1m a month shows what cunts they are. The funniest thing was them having a go at Genoa over non payments. Won't happen though. Gaydamak will have to accept. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaizero Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 Any of their current players worth snatching up when they're out of a job? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaylorJ_01 Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 What happens to Kanu/the rest of their players? Are they released immediately? do they have some form of contract insurance so they collect the money they are owed? 'You're always going on about Nwankwo Kanu, you're never going to meet him.'

Teasy Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 i hope they go bump, shit club, shit atmosphere, shit everything. Oh and the bellringer is a bellend. That's rich coming from a Stoke fan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewellander Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 How does it give us a better chance of staying up? Because fewer teams might go down. How does losing a team in the Championship mean fewer teams would be relegated from the Premier League? The Championship will still promote three and receive three from the Premier League. The Championship will need to have an extra team added to it and it would come from the lower league. It will have no effect on Premier League teams, as far as I can see.

Guest gggg Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 Leagues reprieve teams rather than promote an extra one, at least that's how it works in non league. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

geordiemonster Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 I have to admit to having a bit of a soft spot for Portsmouth. They are the sort of team that should be in the prem - teams that (until recently at least) played decent football and had a decent away following. Instead we have a good few teams of the like of Blackburn, Stoke, Wolves etc who are just basically anti-football teams. If anyone should go then it should be them!

Guest ObiChrisKenobi Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 2 to get relegated from the Championship, shirley? 1 Less from Premiership relegated, 3 up from Championship. 1 Less from Championship relegated, 3 up from League 1 and so on.

James Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 Think we investigated the situation before if a team disappears from the league and it is one extra gets promoted from the leagues below. Can't have only two teams going down as otherwise it wouldn't be fair on the third club that would otherwise go up! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 I think Jonny is right and it wouldn't make any difference to teams going down as the only way that could happen is if only two came up and that wouldn't be fair. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not Premier league players on top end championship wages. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 While we're touching on this subject - if the Premiership and Championship normally relegate 3, why does League One relegate 4? Always found it a bit weird, because theres still just 24 teams. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 2 to get relegated from the Championship, shirley? Nope because that leaves the next league down short. The solution has always been to reward those clubs who played well, rather than those who have had a bad year hence the extra promotion place. Eventually there will be a place at the lowest tier a team down but there would inevitably be a Pompey FC that suddenly wants to join the football league.
