If we're the Arsenal of the North, are Pompey the Hearts of the South?

No mention of a "glitch" or a "blip" mind you......perhaps Pompey are more honest than our neighbours?

Arsenal would beat Hibs 10-0

To say we are the Arsenal of the North is almost as bad as Hearts saying their going to win the Champions League

We never said we were, the Chelsea dressing room did.

Nah, ad let them suffer for a few years, let teams like Arbroath and Montrose rip the piss oot them for a good few seasons, watch there 400k crowds dwindle to under 1k at home games, and rejoice in the fact that we will soon be the big team.

They're going down.

**joe breezy** · 03-12-2009 06:13 PM

We're definitely not the Arsenal of the North most weeks, then again we're very inconsistent and haven't won anything for a while so maybe...

We're not so much soon to be the big team, Andy; in my opinion, we are the only team in Edinburgh at present.

To call that shower of classless welts a team is an insult to every other professional club in Scotland.

They're jam-packed full of lazy barstewards who give as much a toss for the shirt as their madcap owner who tramples all over that same shirt in a kamikaze, yet wildly amusing, way whilst ridding them of any identity and pride that they once had.

Your average Hearts fan now hides behind the sofa, too scared to speak up against the cruelty lavished upon them by their owner, save for their annual re-appearance to indulge in some moral high-horse poppy watching that's about as crass as it is incorrectly self-righteous.

Enjoy yer Christmas ya turd-coloured fuds.

When did we become Arsenal of the North? If there is a club we are like, I'd say it is West Ham, but at the end of the day the only people we are is Hibernian FC.

This is absolute quality mate.

I'm surprised with all the talk of trampling you haven't mentioned a famous episode involving a sack of Russian Hats and the arrival of a nonce for manager.

Perhaps someone has a picture?

It was an excerpt from a Maka interview where he stated that his team-mates from the Chelsea dressing room referred to ourselves as "the Arsenal of the North", namely for our ability to play good football and produce good youngsters.

Albeit on a much smaller scale of course.

Oh well, fair enough. Is it possible that the blokes at Chelsea were having a wee joke at Maka's expense. It's quite embarrassing and the sort of thing that bigger teams in this city make a right erchie of themselves with.

Maka was still at Chelsea if I recall correctly, this was prior to him being linked or indeed signing with Hibs.

Luckily, it's a term that we haven't latched onto where we sell t-shirts and DVDs in the club shop so we can slip the den mothers a fiver to keep them schtum.

I only used it as a direct reference to Hearts and Pompey (inextricably linked via Graham Rix and Avram Grant in any case.....one a rootin' tootin' paedo, the other a fat grump who looks like his erse has just caved in.)

Ellegantly put sir!

Although id like to point out that Edinburgh city (after there oustanding scottish cup win) would feel a little agrieved at us being the only team in Embra, im certain that they will be our mainstay rivals in the not to distant future, we will be locking horns for a good few years to come.

Hearts i will always be fond of for the enthrawling derby matches, but the line has to be drawn somewhere, i shant shed a tear when HOMFC decease tho, its not personall, just the walk of life.

As Keith Wright explained to me today in Penicuik at 13.32 ( i had to check my watch and be precise as i was talking to a hibee legend!) Hearts are finito and there wont be a happier man than me in the world when it goes pearshaped (not me him) but me too yeah.

Keesbo said that? They really are in trouble when a guy like him starts to disrespect them.

That won't go down well across the road. He is one of their favourite non Yam players. Maybe now they'll get the message that no-one likes them, and no-one cares. (I made some of this up).

I remember being at Tynecastle a few years back during an unpleasant 4-0 or 4-1 horsing, and 'Vla-dimir Roman-ov, Vla-dimir- Roman-ov' was being belted out on 3 sides of the ground, Lithuanian flags aplenty, the man himself standing up in the 'directors box' and waving to his loyal subjects in the manner of a minor royal....

Its a funny old game

Couldnae agree more FH, I go down to Upton Park quite a lot and we are very similar - good youth systems which produce a lot of good players who are sold too early, fans who like to watch a good passing game (not as often as we'd like), not got enough dough and a sizeable "firm".

That bit with the fat erse at the end still cracks me up.

Anybody know where the creepy slow motion video version of this is? They really aren't human.

***Bostonhibby*** · 04-12-2009 09:32 PM

There is not even the slightest chance that the Pompey fans will be navel gazing or playing at big clubs if they think their club is going down the tubes, so no. but in some other respects maybe.

It's the long haired yam that runs about daft trying to shake Romans hand then sort of half bows to him after saying thanks that gets me. Especially with his mate screaming for Vlad to take a penalty in the background. Absolute morons.
