Pompey!



3X says "Pompey! Pompey! Portsmouth FC can do it!. Why portsmouth do you ask, quite simply my degree studies is from UOP (University of Portsmouth, UK). Hence the connection I feel with this team. Since Sherringham and Berger no more with the team, it has since lose its bite, and Yakubu also dah cabut already. Nevermind, now got Lua-lua, hopefully he don't do anymore somersaults and injure himself again.
As you soccerneters should know by now, Pompey is fighting the relegation battle, with Birmingham and West Brom. Sunderland no need to say already - confirm out. What seems doomed about a month ago, now looks like a truely underdog story. 6 straight wins, a draw, and a "sickening wasted" lost (with charlton left 14 mins -damnit!) - and they are 3 points ahead of Birmingham and 4th from below. Hopefully West Brom losts yesterday and Birmingham will lose today, that will give pompey confirm seat for next season.
Their wins and loses does affect how I feel for the rest of the day. At work they tease me when Pompey lose, and there's only 2 pompey supporters in the college. There's the vice president and there's me. He's an englishman, born and lived in Portsmouth, and he has an actual football signed by all the players on his desk (you don't know how many times I want to run away with that football). So when we see each other, we talk about pompey all the time. He actually has met the Harry Redknapp. Luckily Harry came back to pompey, and didn't stay with Southhampton who got relegated last season (haha padan muka!).
So to all you man u, liverpool, chelsea and arsenal fans.... I got nothing to say to you... but to all Pompey fans - We can do it!
