Having sat and watched that game against Bournemouth yesterday I can truthfully say I felt genuinely sorry for their players. Not pity as that is reserved for Skates but sympathy for their players who really gave it a go. As for chummy the ex Skate who manages them it was a delight to see his crushed look after our second goal.
I turned my back for five minutes and you all let this slip of off the page. If you think Portsmouth or Bournemouth are our rivals I suggest you look up the definition of rival. They do not rival us for anything therefore we have no rivals. They are both meaningless entities. rival [ˈrʌɪv(ə)l] NOUN a person or thing competing with another for the same objective or for superiority in the same field of activity.

Derek Jennings has been jailed for 20 months for punching Luna the police horse, before the 0-4 victory. He has been a UKIP candidate, so that might explain things.
Lets hope it gets wide coverage. https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england... punched a,2019, Portsmouth Crown Court heard.
What an absolute waste of oxygen. I'm ashamed that that low-life is associated with the club I support. Hopefully the club will do the right thing and ban him for life.
Read this in the Times today. We spend time ridiculing them but we don't really need to. They make fools of themselves with this kind of story and punching horses.
