Finally bringing back the a46, m40, a34, m27 derby!!!

Big rivalry game for you guys. I'd say the fiercest in the Championship.

Only until proud posh make their way through the playoffs, and then the true rivalry will be reignited.

I'm pretty sure the A34 derby is Stafford Rangers vs Hendesford Town. 😂

Hard to congratulate a rival, but they’ve had a great season, fair play 👏

Get your own rival!

Idk if I’ve missed something… but rival? I’ve always liked Cov, and now I’m questioning everything 🤣

They are so innocent

You must be new, not a team gone by that Coventry doesn't have a fierce rivalry with

You've got some catching up to do

Welcome to r/Championship Crumble is currency Coventry are rivals with everyone from Lands' End to John O'Groats You just got John Rowed

Dw Cov loves a rivalry.

The Skate has been in League 1 and 2 for so long, he forgets what it's like to swim close to the surface

A few of seasons I'd say. Coventry have the fiercest rivalry with most clubs.

coventry have this thing where they're everyone's rivals.

Welcome to the best football subreddit Pompey fans May I interest you in a crumble, prehaps a Rowe or Simpsons meme?

> May I interest you in a crumble, prehaps a Rowe or Simpsons meme? Po- Portsmouth!? At this time of year? at this time of day? in this part of the EFL, localized entirely within your subreddit?

yes!

…May i see it?

…no.

u/ginnybin25! The subreddit is on fire!

No mother it’s just the south coast derby

Well, Seymour, you are an odd fellow, but I must say... you meme a good ham.

no, u/Lady-Maya, it’s just the crumble memes.

Well, u/ginnybin25, you are an odd fellow, but I must say... you meme a good ham.

help!…HELP!!

We had plenty of crumble in previous seasons. So, we thought we'd leave the crumble for everyone else this year.

I’ll pass on the crumble, but particularly partial to an Abu Kamara

I am really anxious my meme standards will not be up to scratch or even worse nobody comments on them

I’ll take some scum crumble in the playoffs. South coast derby is back on the menu boys!

All of a sudden the EPL doesn’t look so bad.

Quite like the Premier League. Hate this expectations thing we've got down here.

Always rated taking points from Chelsea...

😔

Look forward to a couple 2-2 draws that neither of us are particularly happy with next season. Oh wait we’re not safe yet

You can't beat a Dockyard Desmond.

Congrats to Portsmouth, yet I hope we never meet

Can we vote to keep Rotherham instead?

Please no. I want to watch us win some games

...after buying their keeper?

I think that's a fair deal.

oxymoronically they have the most stable economy

How about you take their place ;)

Second in League One is better than winning it. Just letting you know.

You're not wrong tbf.

I can get behind this statement too

Smaller trophy though

It's not all about size, it'd about how you use it

I'd be inclined to disagree, but to each their own

lose on purpose for a laugh

Nah, you're alright.

im sure you love leage one so much and would rather another promotion battle instead of relegation in champs

Nah mate.

you havent won the pizza cup yet, clearly should be on your list

Would rather go up than have to play Burnley U23s next season.

Always the bridesmaid, never the bride

Can't wait to travel down to Portsmouth, absolutely tip it down with rain, and lose. Again.

Can’t wait for another 12:30 kick off trip to Sunderland, leave at 1am, lose 1-0 and back by midnight 🥲

Don't worry, we don't score goals anymore. Ross Stewart is long gone

I am now ready to admit that game should have been called off

It contributed to Lee Johnson being replaced by Alex Neil so it worked out in the end. Definitely one of the worst away days I've been on, and I only traveled from Brighton.

If it's any consolation I remember being stuck at Fratton for about an hour in an absolute downpour and I think we got battered by Ipswich very shortly after. Hilarious game though.

GOOD EVENING LADS!

Not that fucking Bell, I can still hear it 20 odd year ago. Jokes aside Rovers V Pompey was a golden age of footy fixture for me so i look forward to it. Bolton, hurry the fuck up.

There’s been a red card but for who /u/standin373

I'd give my left bollock for Kammy to do a cameo for this.

On the up side we have a roof over the Milton End now so you away fans don't get as wet. Should be grateful all the nice things we do for you idk

Hi

The swamp folks have arose from their island depths at the smell of some delicious crumble.

Mate I've been to the mutant mile in Shirley I'm not sure any of us can throw stones here

If we stay down, things are gonna get spicy The M27 shall be the battlefield

You can have the M27, absolute shambles of a road for the past 3 years. Looking forward to getting bricked again when we get bused in through Thornhill.

""We'll regroup near Bursledon and make sure they don't take the bridge over the Hamble..."*

Luke O’Nien might fight the crowd again.

That's just football

Heh, saw them 2-1 down earlier and thought 'Party delayed then'. Welcome back to the Crumbleship, Pomey.

The Mous is crumble adverse

Its about time Portsmouth! Love fratton park and Linvoy Primus. Went to uni at Portsmouth and the local Indian takeaway sponsored Glen Johnson. Proper football city.

Welcome to the chaos that is The Championship. Definitely feels like you belong. Look forward to the "dockyard derby" rubbish again next season

Pleasure to be back after 12 long years!!! From League Two and near extinction, to playing in possibly a top 10 League in the world for quality again. Awesome!

It’s the best league and you better treat it well! And not just absolutely shit the bed like we have *sobs*

After the playoffs, you wanted a Moore disco, and Chansiri heard more Xisco, easy mistake to make...

Look at you, making jokes, first you take our automatics, now you take the piss! Enjoy the premier league *Vodooo words mumbled*

Hopefully you're Rohling towards survival now, would quite like you and Plymouth to both stay up. :)

I actually have been rooting for you all season, I feel a brotherhood between us three, I dream of a world where we have players like Wes burns and can feel even a percentage of what I assume you do when you score last min goals

Still a chance you can stay up though, even though there’s Huddlesfield vs Birmingham end of the month

Don’t get me wrong I don’t want to go down, but it’s by far the best league as a supporter and fantastic as a neutral watching both ends of the table.

See you next season... Hopefully

They got a big points deduction coming and staying down ?

Congrats 👏 and no you can't keep Abu :)

Spoil sport. What if we offered you some crumble? You guys up here seem to love the stuff (and I've only been here 5 minutes).

I really hope we don't sell him for pennies like we did with Mumba.

Joint highest purchase we've ever made. I'd imagine we gave some juicy sell-on clauses

We’d love him back, but after what he’s given this season he deserves a chance with you.

We’re gonna have to change our chant now, fuck…

We’ve no shortage of them, it’s okay

True, but I’m an American so it’s the only Pompey chant I know

At least we know if we don’t go up this year we’ve got a free 6 points next season

Does that count when everybody gets 6 against them?

But it’s always fun to silence fratton park

Unlike St Mary's. You can't silence that which makes no noise.

we sure only got 1

Everybody makes mistakes.

with those extra 5 wed be promoted now

Congratulations! Well deserved after a 12 year absence

geeze i sure hope ours isnt 12 years

*When I was just a little boy...*

He’s only a poor little…

"...I asked my father, who should I be..."

“I asked my mother, what should I be”*

*"Should I be Pompey? Should I be Saints? Here's what she said to me..."*

Now let’s hope Southampton stay down

Hard pass.

So this is what promotion feels like

12 years in League 1?? I remember seeing them in the Prem when I first watched English football!

they had time in league 2

Ah, I misread another post. 12 years since the Championship is what I should've said.

Well done.. Will be good to play you again.

Wahey! Welcome Welcome Welcome, Pompey! From that volcano business with the Romans to Redknapp, you've gone through everything and now you're big in the back time. I hope you brought custard.

Welcome back lads! I apologise in advance when we steal your manager as part of the Great Stoke Rebuild of Winter 2024 (Not to be confused with the Not So Great Stoke Rebuild of Summer 2024)

That explains the stink.

Alright now Saints, please please please don't get promoted id love to see this fierce derby in action

Welcome back! Good I hope they dont put our Away day Midweek. Portsmouths a good visit.

12 seasons…

Double it and pass it to the next person

Pompey are finally back. Best of luck next season!

Well in Pompey

IN LEAGUE FOR FOR TEN MORE… oh.

Beating the skates next season is a nice consolation prize when we inevitably crumble.

*"I would love it if we beat them."*

Good to be back

Welcome to EFL Championship

Congrats, Pompey fans. Since we are crumbling down lately, will be a pleasure (or not) to see you next season.

Happy to be back after all this time. Love what you've done with the place. Is that crumble I can smell?

Only the very best. You’ll get sick of it after a few weeks though…

The only south coast team I like, congrats

Ahem...

What did Eastbourne Borough do to deserve your enmity?

Prefer Ipswich anyway. Proper football club who actually want to get promoted.

Big talk to scrape 3rd

Big talk for a team that haven't lost to Ipswich in 15 years yet are nearly 20 points behind them.

Big talk for a team who are in Bournemouth’s shadow

A lot of Soton out tonight

Love to see a few people rattled

Hate travelling down there man what a shitter. Always fucking televised 12pm kick off too.

I hope they go back down again I can't lie, hopefully we don't join them.

Pretty sure at the start of the season I backed Portsmouth to win in an ACCA and a Portsmouth fan said they wouldn't put any faith in Portsmouth to do well this year. They will fit right in here, with all that pessimism

See you next year boys, it's been a while
