Wednesday's Football Trivia Question: Which six Clubs spent over 100 Seasons in the English 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Football League but never played in the Top Flight? #EFL #FootballQuiz myfootballfacts.com/question_of_th…

@stevep_1973 @sid_lambert “McMahon has got the word from the Kop” The last few mins of Brian Moore’s commentary is pure poetry. 😁

@sid_lambert Moments after McMahon had turned to each player saying “one minute, one minute…” 😬

37 years ago today: The magnificent Brian Moore provided the iconic soundtrack to a moment of high drama at Anfield. “THOMAS CHARGING THROUGH THE MIDFIELD. THOMAS… IT’S UP FOR GRABS NOW!”

@Bentonbag @_wej01 The boys are from a family of ‘travellers’ - the types who encourage ‘grabbing’ as a courtship ritual. The judge referenced how the boys were of low intelligence in his summing up. Years of incest and disrespect for women is their likely pedigree.

@_wej01 Am I the only person wondering about the boys' parents? There are questions to be asked as to how the sons they raised became teenage rapists and abusers. It's easy to blame internet misogyny but those parents had a part to play as well. It's vital to teach boys that no means no.

Those 3 teenage boys who raped 2 girls that they targeted. Who filmed their victims being raped. Who were convicted of 11 rape charges between them. And walked out of court with nothing more than Youth Rehabilitation Orders because of a male judge who didn’t want criminalise children. I am absolutely raging about this. When we’re trying to teach boys about consent. And judges are showing them that rape has no consequences. Every man should be up in arms about this. This is why women are so angry

@RhysTheSaint @LukeEllisPUP @Dan_Sheldon_ @AdamCrafton_ @mjshrimper @TheAthleticFC Fact check: 2008 FA Cup - Pompey were paying all bills. Owners assets being frozen happened 6 months later. Charities that lost money due to 2010 administration were repaid by donations raised by the fans. No charities lost money. Anyway, where were we, oh yeah, spying…

@LukeEllisPUP @Dan_Sheldon_ @AdamCrafton_ @mjshrimper @TheAthleticFC Oh get off your high horse you silly muppet. Your last FA Cup was cheated and those charities are still waiting for their money back.

New: Southampton players are exploring their options regarding legal action against the club if the EFL’s verdict to expel them from the Championship play-off final is upheld. #SaintsFC Full story w / @AdamCrafton_ @mjshrimper @TheAthleticFC nytimes.com/athletic/72922…

@UKCryptoKing247 @SkySportsNews At least I didn’t mistake the last 26 years with the 20th century. Skate. 🤣 Bless. That naval term you lot had to call us via a fanzine competition in the late 80s. scum - the laughing stock of football. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

@MASaunders75 @SkySportsNews Is it 😂🤣😂 how old was last century. Nevermind skate, you'll at the very least, be above Saints for two games next season eh 😉👍

BREAKING: Saturday's Sky Bet Championship play-off final between Hull City and Middlesbrough will kick-off at 15:30. Should the outcome of the ongoing appeal process result in the final being contested by Hull City and Southampton, the kick-off time will remain at 16:30 🚨

@UKCryptoKing247 @SkySportsNews This century is only 26 years old.

@MASaunders75 @SkySportsNews I didn't know anyone that old still supported Pompey 🤣😂🤣 At least you're never likely to be booted out of a chance to play in the Premier league eh 😉 Keep breathing old chap.

@derrickallottk1 Our crooked owners had it. The Pompey fans raised the money and paid all the charities. Now you know. Anyway back to the cheating story… 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Anyone know where that charity money went? #saintsfc

@UKCryptoKing247 @SkySportsNews Inform due to spying on the opposition for half the season. Pompey, mediocre? I’ve seen us top of the Prem, 90th in L2, win the FA Cup, reach another FA Cup final, Community Shield, win EFL Trophy, win what is now the Championship, win L1, and win L2. All this century. Bye.

@MASaunders75 @SkySportsNews That mediocre you are talking about Southampton, were the most inform team in the whole of the football league since Christmas. They were likely to WIN. This is why the EFL punished them, they didn't want to lose the best club to the EPL. If you want Mediocre, support Pompey.

@UKCryptoKing247 @SkySportsNews Southampton finished 4th in a division where 3 go up. In a fair world, Southampton, Boro and Hull had no right to a second chance of promotion. Bin the playoffs. Rewarding the mediocre.

@SkySportsNews Boro have no right to be there, they didn't win any of the playoff games. Southampton should be facing Hull. They should have fines Saints, and given them an ultimatum, do this again and its instant relegation.

@bobbeech Indeed. People forget the slogan of Euro 96 was ‘Football Comes Home’. The song’s chorus is about the tournament being played in the birthplace of Association Football and nothing to do with bringing home a trophy because, as you say, the song laments the fact we never do that!

Most misunderstood song of all time Others (bizarrely) think it’s bragging it’s the opposite this is heartfelt pleadings every football fan has ever had about their team I know you’ve constantly let me down but before but I still believe in you knowing you’ll let me down again

@Honourable_HB @SaulUTB @PompeyReal9019 @BristolCity Terrible analogy. For a start there’s no evidence he’s even spoken to Bristol City. No one is in limbo, the season’s ended for most and it’s holiday season. The TW doesn’t open for a couple more weeks. It’s just bored people on X with nothing better to do than chat Pompey.

@MASaunders75 @SaulUTB @PompeyReal9019 @BristolCity It’s like your misses still living with you. While you know she’s on tinder abs out looking for someone better.

Looks like Carsley for @BristolCity then. Appreciate Mousinho has to listen to offers however at somepoint he has to put a stop to speculation and commit for the summer and beyond. we can’t do this continually for every vacancy that arises #pompey

@Honourable_HB @SaulUTB @PompeyReal9019 @BristolCity He put in transfer requests most summers during the 80s. Would’ve gone in 1988 had he not got injured at Wimbledon. I’m not the one questioning anyones commitment for looking around in the close season - that’s your opinion.

@MASaunders75 @SaulUTB @PompeyReal9019 @BristolCity Are you genuinely questioning Alan knights commitment to pompey . Only 800+ games.

@pompeyshaun1986 @bobbeech @pn_neil_allen @daniel_son79 They were never the right owners for us. We needed big investment just to give us what our peers now take for granted. Instead we have owners cautiously investing small sums over a long period (50 year plan). We’ll all be dead by the time the 1st Justin is ready.

@pompeyshaun1986 @bobbeech @pn_neil_allen @daniel_son79 With Bournemouth & Brighton advancing, plus scum already Cat 1, we either need Cat 1 ourselves or a different model. Could’ve bought St John’s playing fields at Farlington. Bit like new North Stand, the huge upfront investment for a return years from now is not Tornante’s way.

The fate of Harry Clout and Reuben Swann is a damning indictment of #Pompey's player pathway for youngsters. So much for Justins and Britneys - just four have been given Football League debuts during the Tornante era. portsmouth.co.uk/sport/football…

@Honourable_HB @SaulUTB @PompeyReal9019 @BristolCity Just going to mention Alan ‘The Legend’ Knight’s transfer requests.

@SaulUTB @PompeyReal9019 @BristolCity Ifs he not committed to Pompey jog on asap

@PhilipJCartwri1 @NOT_MOTD It was Pompey’s 6th visit to the new Wembley in 11 years which included 2 FA Cup semi finals, 2 FA Cup finals & Community Shield. So hardly a ‘rare day out’ at that time.

@NOT_MOTD Well for Portsmouth V Sunderland it's a rare big day out, But for Chelsea V Man City you can only get excited about going to Wembley so many times plus the FA Cup has been messed about with so much that you'll not see anybody outside the Top 6-8 Prem teams reach the Final much.

Crazy to think that Portsmouth against Sunderland in the Checkatrade final pulled a bigger crowd than Chelsea against Man City in the FA Cup final 🤯

@Huytontoffee Apparently the home owner is a big Corrie fan. They also have Alan Bradley wallpaper in their outside shitter.

Am genuinely not taking the piss here but I have no idea who the fuck that's meant to be hahahaha

@amarshall1964 @prodnose Attendance 83,337, nearly 2,300 lower than the 2019 EFL Trophy Final attendance of 85,621.

@prodnose shocked at the empty seats, apparently attendance 800 down on last year. years gone by 100,000 thousands outside. Shame to see the FA Cup become irrelevent

An FA Cup Final that will live in the memory for years. Well, not years - possibly months. Maybe weeks. Days. Actually, what were we talking about? #FACup

@ASingleton30214 @3Retro_Football Really? Spurs nearly went down the season before (97/98) under Gerry Francis. It was touch and go until the last couple of weeks. Finished 4 points above the drop zone.

@3Retro_Football Those were the days when Spurs had a proper football club. If we are relegated which looks likely I don't want to support that pile of crap anymore. I,m too smart to be supporting a rubbish team.

The match between #TottenhamHotspur and #LeedsUnited in 1998 was overshadowed by the rumours flying around the stadium about Leeds manager George Graham being earmarked for the White Hart Lane hot seat. A few days later a £2.5m compensation package was agreed 🤝 #TOTLEE

@damiendamien @Freerad3735 @gcraven10 My-round-a-phobia. Yorkshire Airlines. Tortoise blowing. Microwaving a cat. Rocky Pantaloon. “One two drip on my shoe, three four not anymore.” Hale & Pace did some memorable stuff, it just didn’t get many repeats to hammer it home like more quoted shows.

@Freerad3735 @gcraven10 Also Hale & Pace, 10 series over 10 years. Never seen anyone share a sketch or even refer to it, whereas see Two Ronnies sketches every few months.

The odd thing about this sitcom is that it was so popular in the day but seems to have had no lasting cultural impact. Nobody ever quotes from it or remembers any particular episodes, it just sank without trace.
