GJL Mid-Norfolk Canary 1,749 Posted April 20, 2006 Birmingham !,If Gaydamak decides that he''s getting Portsmouth back up at all costs, that''s one promotion place taken before you start.not of course that promotion will have anything to do with us next season if Worthington is still here.

Yellow Rages 0 Posted April 20, 2006 Definately Portsmouth.Lets face it, they could of beaten West Brom last year, but then Southampton could have stayed up on the other hand. MmmmmmmAlso Harry Redknapp is highly overated:He performs badly with PortsmouthMoves to Southampton and they get religatedSouthampton continue to slide down the ChampionshipMoves back to Porthsmouth, Southampton begin to pick up.Portsmouth loose something like their next six in a row I think?Redknapp gets a load of moneyThey win a few gamesAnd they may still well get religatedWhat makes me laugh is that he''s always been branded as this wealer dealer type who buys cheap and gets results. Well he bought no one at Southampton and they got worse. And now they call him Harry Hudini. He struggles to get out of bed in the morning let alone a religation fight.Where does all this come from? People like Mark Lawrenson spouting rubbish on match of the day because he''s been asked to say something. Very much like the commentators who tell you how great a team are at 0-0 and when 1-0 down they don''t talk about them again. Could I be much further away from the thread topic now? Oh yes Portsmouth definately. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pete Raven 276 Posted April 20, 2006 I didn''t see Millwall or Sheff Wed as a threat at the start of this season...Two isn''t enough Rossi. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cantiaci Canary 557 Posted April 20, 2006 I can''t see why this is a debate? Birmingham are an ugly team who kick, trip and snarl and play in a horrid stadium infront of fans possibly more fickle than our own. Portsmouth have flair players who excite, have welcoming and football-wise fans and the Saint Harry scenario was hilarious. Never forgiven Blues for that play off final if truth be told! Also living with a Villa fan for three years may have had some sort of influence on my position!OTBC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Syteanric 1 Posted April 20, 2006 Pompey!the media seem to have some kind of Love Affair with Arry and id love for them to wake up to reality that the mans a prat and is about to get relegated from the premiership for the 3rd time...he has acheived nothing in the game and just spends shed loads of money on rubbish Foreign signings before whingeing when they all leave... Redknapp is a shocking manager and gets what he deserves... also, he is 2 faced.. his comments upon leaving pompey 1st time and upon Leaving southampton prove he''s only in it for the moneyjas :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cheeky Monkey 0 Posted April 20, 2006 Brum, as last year I sat next in the Jarrolds stand probably nearish to their friendly Zulu faction and they were not particularly a pleasant bunch.They also said "We''ll meet agian..." as they left the ground. Sooner than they thought haha. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Citizen Journalist Foghorn 0 Posted April 20, 2006 Being from Southampton, its would normally be portsmouth (I have no interest in southampton but still hate Portsmouth) but as they have so much cash, for Norwich''s promotion hopes it has to be birmingham....

plan b 0 Posted April 20, 2006 i cant decide which one, because on the one hand i would love to see old ''arry prove once and for all that he is not the magic manager the media thinks he is, i have had enough of the ''how he got portsmouth up with no money'' myth he is sorry eager to promote. but the again i wont be too upset if brum go down, not because i have issues with the play-off, but because if they do, they have a certain striker who may feel that if he is going to be playing in the championship he might as well be doing it with his home team rather than with a team he has no real allegiance too.

Lord Mouldywart 0 Posted April 21, 2006 I don''t mind.Both are equally accessible from where I livePompey would be a nicer trip on a nice day, brum better on a wet one.They let us stand at Pompey last year, but Brum''s ground is presumably nicerBrum have less moneyPompey have better fansI''m going for Brum because Pompey have more money and better support and are therefore a better bet for promotion Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZLF 274 Posted April 21, 2006 Makes no odds really - if we want to get promoted, make the play offs or simply be competetive we will have to give either of them a game as well as the other 22 teams in this league. Thats a step change from where we are now - get ourselves right and they will fear us not the other way around. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Northern Canary 0 Posted April 21, 2006 I would like Birmingham to go down for a few reasons:- Portsmouth have gone on a good run, playing some good football whereas Birmingham dont play nice football imo.- Its another away ground that is near enough to go to- If B''ham went down they would lose so many players and i think it would be impossible for them to bounce back, whereass Pompey have the funds Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
1st Wizard 0 Posted April 21, 2006 im really not sure, i think that either odf those two teams if they come down will get promoted agian as champions because they have premiership status for at least 3 years... but southampton showed that does not matter this yuear so if i was to pick the one that would do a ''southamption'' next year then that would be birmingham as alll their big players would leave, where as pompeys players probably will not Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mark .Y. 352 Posted April 21, 2006 "Being from Southampton, its would normally be portsmouth (I have no interest in southampton but still hate Portsmouth) "Aaaah, explains a lot of your ramblings CJF. How come if you''re from Southampton you support Norwich ?Anyway, back to the point, I doubt many people would disagree that Pompeys home crowd is one of the best in the business and the atmosphere at their ground is helped by it being bloody ancient - on top of that my nipper is a Pompey season ticket holder so it has to be them to stay up over Brum.Mark .Y.
