Close to signing for Everton for 40 million according to Twitter.
File under confirmation, if needed, that Twitter is wrong about everything. |  | | |  |

Good club, Cov.
So good that a thoroughly deserving set of fans could savour winning Div 3 this season. |
And, of course, as Worzel 130 has pointed out, a bigger club than Little Pompey:
"historical attendance"
https://www.nufc.com/html/2018-19html/attendance-all-time.html
"time in top flight"
Saints 44 seasons
Coventry 34 seasons
Little Pompey 33 seasons |  |

The rumour on the interweb is that it's Ings who tested positive for the virus after his holiday. Hopefully he will be ok to face Palace in 3 weeks, hopefully he won't be a 1 in 6.7 who apparently die from it as one of brainiac fans suggested on that other thread. |  |

I’d compare you mugs to someone like Oldham or Chesterfield. Basically lower league trash year in year out . [Post edited 22 Aug 2020 17:17]

Essentially, most football fans would put Pompey In the same bracket as Sheff Utd, Preston and Burnley, a tier below Wolves
This is a true story |  |

Whereas a more realistic comparison might be Wycombe and Portsmouth, yes?
Though as they are in a higher league, it could be argued they wouldn’t wish to be brought down a level by comparisons with your shower.... |
Possibly, next season we could meet your club in the Championship, the natural level of your club and ours. | |

In my 44 years alive Saints have spent about 75% of it the top division, I think that means they belong in the top flight, your lot are a lower end championship club in my lifetime | |

Seasons
Southampton: 1st tier 44, 2nd tier 39, 3rd tier 11
Little Pompey: 1st tier 33, 2nd tier 40, 3rd tier 15, 4th tier 6
Saints are an established Premier League team and that is the level we have been in most; Little Pompey are a League One team. Saints' natural level is the top flight while Little Pompey's is the lower divisions.
Stop trying to pretend you are as big a club as Saints because everybody knows you are not. You are two leagues below Saints and you're not even the biggest club in the 3rd tier. Get over it.
Try posting on the message board of a team more your level, like Plymouth, and maybe you won't get humiliated quite so much. [Post edited 23 Aug 2020 14:15]

You can get 45-1 on that happening so why don't you stick £20 on it , it would pay for a flight home so you could watch the Derby in the 21/22 season. | |

I seem to recall that you haven’t been in the Championship since 2012, when you unfortunately were very much in our shadow. So that’s 8 years since you were at your “natural level”.
Whereas we only stayed in that division for 1 season on our route back up to the Prem; where we have been ever since.
I would suggest both clubs are currently in the division which reflects their natural level. Particularly as you only took less than 1,300 fans to the away leg of the play-off semi final two seasons ago. And 6 pillocks on a flatbed truck last season. |  |

Your club have never won anything in the top league, and they are only 2 places above Pompey in the top flight seasons list. You need to stop getting yourself at it. | |

Your club have spent far longer in non league than ours, we just can't compare with those stats, and the Championship, have you ever won it?
Seriously, your club are never going to win the big league, you may as well try and win the Championship, and another FA cup | |

Non-League? Not in any of our lifetimes.
You really have to stop making reference to stuff that goes back to an era when Huddersfield were champions. Does it make them a big club now? Of course not.
You won the Div 2 Championship? Big deal. So did Reading. A club which are pretty nondescript, much like yourselves. | |

Why does this weirdo go on about this stuff so much?
Southampton- bigger club, higher attendances, more seasons in top flight. Crap trophy haul but we all know that anyway.
Portsmouth- if you are 80 or over you might just remember them winning the league, other than that the most scabbby FA cup win ever and a couple of lower league titles. | |

Our lot? One person said it would be a sideways move, which I suppose is not that far off if you just base it on recent league positions.
I don’t see anyone on here claiming we are as big a club as Everton or anywhere near.

Poopey ranked 33. (not even worth any comments)
Saints 18 (see below)
The Saints might not have a bulging trophy cabinet, but they’ve got a good stadium, the fanbase to fill it and a history of giving those fans a decent standard of football to watch. They’re established. They are one of the biggest football clubs in the UK. |  |
