Yes they are.
You don't change your local rivals in the same way you don't chop and change the club you support.
Pompey maybe a complete shambles of ****ting shambles on a ****ty stick right now... but local rivals they remain.
We may not play them again for a very long time, but what's gone on before still stands.

Have to agree....Pompey would have to go right out of the league and be there a while before they stop being our rivals. I cannot see that happening personally. They are struggling but they will be back up to the top of that league before you know it.

I didn't know Brighton were League 79 places below us!! Thought they were within 20 just being outside the play-offs in the Championships!!
