    Sorry mate but that first paragraph... what a loada ****e <doh>

    Of course everyone in the City doesn't support them, it's the same as almost every other city in that respect.

    You've bought into the Portsmyth I'm afraid.

    Fair play to the fans who bought the club yes, a begrudging respect for them.

    But even they now realise after 4 years in the basement that they can't as far as they would like to with that model, so are selling up to a yank <ok>

    Weymouth, but they're really **** and only have about a quarter of a stadium. Plus I think I earn more money than their striker.

    On a PL note - I'd have to go Bournemouth, one reason, I can see them whenever I want. Not that I bother these days tbh.

    Yeah I mean that model was only to keep them operating.

    The ex Disney guy is interested isn't he? They definitely need that investment.

    Portsmouth are not a premier league but should be battling it out in the Championship imo.

    They shouldn't, as they got relegated two levels below that. Fans and a fat bloke with a cowbell do not a Championship club make.

    They shouldn't be a championship club because they got relegated below?

    Thanks for that.

    Watford are no bigger than Portsmouth.

    I like seeing 'small' clubs in the EPL, so atm have a soft spot for Bournemouth & Burnley, unless they ire Pulis, then I hope they go down.

    Yeah they do need that to even get to even a decent level at the Championship imo. A fair chunk of their fans are sceptical though, understandably so.

    I was just saying it's clearly not true that everyone in the City supports them. It's a Portsmyth. Same as most Cities, they're not an exception or anything.

    Correct. When clubs are put in divisions according to size, let me know.

    Don't say obviously stupid things if you don't like the obvious answer, obviously.

    Fratton Park is fit for exactly the level they are currently at so I think they fit well down there.

    It's a ****e hole, 100% definitely not of championship standard.

    Any other interesting points captain?

    Perhaps, if Portsmouth go up they will no longer be in league 2?

    If they don't go up then they will stay in league 2?

    Both correct. They'll end up where they deserve to be, which is looking like League 1. If they buy another cowbell they'll be automatically put into the Champions' League though so keep an eye out for that.
