Funny how it works. My dad was from Littlehampton and his dad used to put him on the train to watch Pompey some weeks and Brighton others. At no point did this seem to matter to dad and he never once thought of the club's being rivals. He started watching in the late 40's. He has seen hundreds...

Haha, no they weren't. For a rivalry to exist, there has to be that feeling both sides of the divide. We've only played them 44 times in our history and until 1976 we'd only played them 19 times. I wonder how many Portsmouth fans would name Brighton as their rival?

That banner was widely derided by the fans and local press. Pretty funny anyway.

Yep, such a pleasure watching the goals, checking the ref and linesman and knowing that there's no way that someone hundreds of miles away would overrule and disallow a perfectly good goal due to an attacking toenail being a millimetre past the defender's. Football as football should be.

First shot he had was certainly NOT straight at the keeper. The keeper made a great save.

Sarmiento has looked really sharp since coming on.

Nothing lucky about that. It was a very good strike after he fell over and got up again. Don't be so ungenerous.
