If we did beat Chelsea in 1960 it obviously didn't do us any good - we still went down that season. My second Pompey game was against Chelsea in autumn 1962, after promotion from Div 3. We lost 2-0 to Tommy Docherty's excellent young team including Bonetti, Venables, chopper Harris, Macreadie and Tambling. Still, that was closer than the last game of the season against them, lost 7-0.

Yes Bubble only Lincoln finished below Pompey and they both went down. Interestingly there was a gate of 31059 on New Years Eve which was a Saturday to watch a 1.1 draw with the Scummers. The gate at the Dell in August was 28841, a bad day as they won 5.1

Yes there was always good banter before the derbies between both sets of fans but that is when it changed.

Cambridge beat us at fratton last season. Yet, we all know that was Pompey in transition. They would snap our hands off if we offered them a point now.
Personally I think Cambridge are suited to Pompey and with another big fratton crowd on our side we will run out comfortable 2 or 3-0 winners

We'd best hope the players don't think like that!

We'll be ok. The Irish Messi has retired.

Actually I thought the two players were total opposites. Smith could play football but he couldn’t score for us.

2.0 Pompey for me

both worked very hard
Might have been better to work a little less hard and save a little energy to stick the ball in the net
I seem to recall Yakubu or B??? being coached by Luther Missit to do exactly that.

I thought he looked fresh and up for it, good use of him and the other forward types.
