Here's the reverse side of a poll I've just posted on the Pompey board. I thought the comparison between the thoughts of the two sets of fans might be interesting. In both these scenarios Saints finish mid table... Choice 1. Pompey do the double over Saints, but get relegated. Choice 2. Saints do the double over Pompey, but Pompey get promoted.
We could well get promoted the following season then, so still going with choice two! I love it when we beat Pompey, love it! A double over them would make my season!
On the basis that Saints finish mid-table whatever, it has to be option 1. No contest. The better side is determined by a whole season of results, not just two. And besides, beating Pompey twice would hardly make up for having to watch them return to the Premiership.
I'd suffer us losing to them twice if their relegation was followed by the inevitable financial implosion. Otherwise, Saints double all the way!
I just voted for the second option and it is completely split 9 each. That was before you mentioned that we would finish mid-table. I would still go for option 2 because it would be worth the laughs when the blue shi*e get relegated again.
