We have played Portsmouth 48 times, W12, D10 & L26, Biggest wins 5-1, 4-5, losses 4-0, 4-1 and there was a 3-3 draw...
Portsmouth FC were founded in 1898, known as Pompey and play at Fratton Park which has a capacity of 20,899.
Head honcho John Mousinho is 37, he played in 561 career games mainly for Brentford, Wycombe, Preston, Burton and Oxford.
Portsmouth F.C. play their home games at Fratton Park, in the Portsmouth suburb of Milton. Fratton Park is affectionately nicknamed "The Old Girl" by Portsmouth's supporters.
The football ground has been home to the club throughout its entire history. The football ground was formerly the site of a potato field in 1898 when it was purchased by the newly-formed Portsmouth Football & Athletic Company, formed on 5 April 1898, a consortium of local businessmen and ex British Army officers whose chairman was Sir John Brickwood, the owner of Brickwoods Brewery.
Main rivals are Southampton, Many Portsmouth supporters commonly use the derogatory nickname Scummer(s) to describe Southampton fans, or collectively Scum to also include their football club, and indeed the city of Southampton itself.
According to the Oxford English Dictionary, Scummers was a derogatory name with naval origins for pirates or buccaneers, and was first recorded in use in 1585.
Meanwhile, Portsmouth supporters have had the equally derogatory nickname Skate bestowed upon them by Southampton fans as a rebuttal to Scummer since the 1987–88 Division One season.
This was unofficially chosen by Southampton fans from a list of insults compiled by a Southampton-based supporters fanzine called The Ugly Inside in 1988.
Ironically, the chosen nickname Skate was actually stolen from the civilian population of Portsmouth, who had long used Skate as a derogatory insult or nickname for sailors based in Portsmouth Dockyard and other Royal Navy establishments.
The best-known chant sung by Portsmouth supporters are "The Pompey Chimes". The chant is regarded as football's oldest chant still in use today.
Peter Harris has scored the most goals for the club, 211 from 1946-50.
Record transfer fee paid out was £11m for Peter Crouch from Liverpool in 2008.
Managers of note down the years were Jack Tinn, John McCartney, George Smith, Jim Smith, Alan Ball, Harry Redknapp, Kenny Jackett...
This will be a tough start to our season and i would be happy to come away with a point...
