Whilst obviously not including Pompey, which other club in the Championship to you like the most and why? You can also include which club in the Championship you dislike the most and why? To start us off I will say Brighton, I like their friendly and unassuming fans as well as their superb new stadium. As to who I dislike the most that is probably a little too obvious, and amongst the principle reasons, being their fans total ignorance and misplaced arrogance. What are your thoughts fellow blues?
I wouldn't use the term 'like most' but if I were to use 'respect' it would Be Doncaster Rovers. We British always like to see the underdog doing well, when punching above its weight. That is one reason a lot of neutrals seemed to gain a soft spot for Pompey when we got into the Premier League and stayed up. Donny have, of course, had further to climb to reach this level, having been relegated to the Conference in 1998 and spending five years as a non-league side. As for 'dislike'; I don't think there's any-one in the Championship for which such a word would have relevance to a Pompey fan [Ted, Channon, Brendy, that'll be the usual amount in used notes in a brown envelope - I'll be round about 5 ]
Quite like Brighton - very impressed with Gus Poyet, to my mind, he is going to be a top manager one day. Don't particularly like Leeds - probably stems from the arrogant days of Revie/Bremner/Hunter, etc.
SB3, have you ever considered allowing Jesus into your life? St Godders made the remarkable transformation into St Goodness and I know that you are capable of changing your life too. I know there is good in you and I want to hear your tender words of love and compassion for your stripey friends to the west. Those who choose a Saintly path in life have shown great wisdon and spiritual awareness, and cannot possibly be ignorant. Modesty and humility overcome arrogance. Go in peace my blue aquatic friend and live for love
The best that I have for the other teams in this year’s Championship is that I have nothing against Blackpool. SB3 will be happy about the team I dislike the most the striped blasphemers from down the road. We all know how some clubs got their nicknames from their origin but it is a little known and often hidden fact that they were a team of sewage workers from the St Fairy’s area, and for some reason their club makes up false origins as if they are embarrassed (an ex work acquaintance of mine writes their history books that are sold in shops and he will admit the truth when asked face to face but will not be quoted as he fears a back lash).
I am not keen on Leeds for the same reason given by Pieking, yet I do have a soft spot for Pompey.....but you can only see it at low tide.
Leeds - Arrogant, big-headed fans. Brighton - Arrogant, big-headed, biased manager Oh and the obvious
Jesus came to stay with me. He ate at my table, drank my wine and slept in my spare room. He also enjoyed my best scotch. He came in the summer time so I wasn't able to take him to a match otherwise I think he would have become a keen Saints fan. I also remember that he gave me a bottle of some really nice wine. I am not blaspheming or making this up it actually happened. He has gone away now so it would be difficult for him to visit SB3.
