I take issue with your sentiments there. It is always good to see all the teams in the Solent region win. As for the likes of Arsenal, Manchester United and Chelsea, I would hope every single decent football fan would want to see these billionaire teams stuffed by the likes of Stoke, Southampton, WBA and so on. As for the PL, I hope Spurs win it. Failing that Manchester City!!
Man $ity? Moneybags $ity with an infinite amount of money? You're joking right? That Connor goal was pretty epic definitely.
And Manchester United? Not moneybags? Not supported by loads of people who have nothing to do with Manchester? So it is City for me if Spurs don't challenge!! In addition, City fans put the humour back into football with their inflatables when hooliganism was rife. PS: Saw the Conor Chaplin goal. Very good!!
I'd like to see Spurs do it. Their manager has put together an excellent squad of players, including plenty of talented youngsters.
Yeah, Spurs for me, definitely. Man U aren't ideal, but at least they acquired much of their wealth through success on the pitch and good commercialisation off it, rather than being bought by someone gagillionaire and going from relegation fodder to title challengers for no reason other than the wealth thrown at them by Sheik Mansour or whatever his name is.
It's the rise and rise of the "gagillionaire" that killed any interest I had in the top league. The best I can do these days is half watch a match on the tele in the club I go to for a beer after football on a Saturday. It's happening in most sports though and little of it is genuine or unbought these days. Have you noticed the rise of the ex Kenyan or Ethiopian runner who now calls themselves Bahrainee having been paid wedges of cash to move there and take out citizenship just so the Country can claim to have won an Olympic medal. I'm just hoping one day there will be a Pasty Mogul worth a large crust.
Strangely enough Gin is about the only spirit I can stomack. I can't stand the smell of whisky or brandy stuff. Or Ginsters. Actually that's not even funny mentioning that. They are disgusting and part of the reason I've refrained from buying a shirt. Advertising their fare is just not cricket even if they are paying my club money.
Rum was bannished from ships way back in 1970. You had to be 21 to draw one. I was 21 at the end of April that year and the tot was kicked out in early June. I forget the actual date. On my 21st birthday I was on a Survey Ship and at sea which survey ships did a lot of. I drank 8 neat tots in the Senior Rates mess thanks to my boss. Then went to my messdeck and drank a further 2 pints of 2 in one along with a number of "sippers" from other messes. The ex matelots of a certain age will know what sippers are. I promptly fell over and crashed out for the next 8 hours. It cured me of Rum. With the catering at Home Park being a bit basic and slow, I think a sandwich would be a bit of a luxury Pompey.
It pisses me off that the catering at football matches is so ****e. It's all burgers and pies... Well some of us don't want a burger at 3 O'Clock in the afternoon and pies just look gross. When I go to Fratton Park, I often get a Subway at Gunwharf Quays beforehand... but I'd be perfectly happy to buy a sandwich at Fratton Park and contribute to the club, if they did any.... Even if it wasn't as nice as a Subway.
I always knew you weren't a proper supporter if you don't like pies and stuff PompeyLampras. How else are you going to have your heart attack for christ sake. You'll be wanting a cherry in your cocktail next...
Pies are gross. I'm willing to have burgers if I'm particularly hungry, but most likely for evening games rather than 3pm kick offs. The last time I had food at any stadium was at Eastleigh when they played Farnborough. It was so cold I bought a portion of chips just to warm my hands up. The last time I had a burger was in 2009 for Portsmouth v Sunderland. Which was in the evening. And Woop, I know. Although I've never been to that Subway. I've been to the KFC near the park though.
