Why does there always seem to be such a nasty edge to the Portsmouth crowd?

[Sir C]

It's not that they're loud, it's that they're vile.

Mocking a bloke being stretchered off is pretty low, but I noticed every time we had a throw in, our player was confronted by fiercely angry adult men, faces twisted in rage, screeching abuse... why? We're hardly rivals, are we?

I know there was a history of fighting between Arsenal and Portsmouth fans in the 1930s but surely they've got over whetever that was about by now?

Stuart McFarlane (Arsenal photographer) put a photo on instagram of two kids with their dad (or possibly carer) making ****er signs at Guendozi. Kids must have been about 10 and 8.

I bought you a sex toy.

I bought you a sex toy.

You did! Vicky's father found it terribly confusing, I remember.

That's right. It was on sale in a vending machine in the bogs and I thought it was the least I could do to get it for you after you'd driven us down there. I'm nice like that.
