Pompey won!
by Oregano @ 2008-05-17 - 17:28:27

I am not a great football fan but having been brought up in E Hampshire I am delighted that Portsmouth have won the FA Cup! There are several reasons for that:

1. First and foremost I was brought up as a Scot in E Hampshire. My loyalties have been forever shared between these two backgrounds. Portsmouth was always my local club no matter how much I admired Manchester United or (Alex Ferguson's) Aberdeen.
2. As a kid Portsmouth was always in the middle of the second division so I am delighted they are at the top
3. It is a long way from the "Peortsmuff rules OK" graffiti of my childhood.

The last time I was so happy with football was when Alex Ferguson's Aberdeen won the European Cupwinner's Cup. I was not just delighted that a UK side had won such a great trophy  but that Aberdeen had broken Glasgow's "Old Firm".

Well done!
