oh I agree mate totally I said as much yesterday. Their board put the £5m price tag in his contract and have taken the money.
but bearing in mind the stick he's been getting from Pompey fans - just saying you got to admire his front for turning up cos he is going to get dog's abuse.
I'd be spewing if I was a Pompey fan. Not only has he deserted for a "massive" but he's left Tony Adams in pole position. Watch Pompey plummet under Adams as the money's drying up and the player exodus begins (first picks to Spurs). Welcome to our world!
I've always had a soft spot for Pompey...a club which has followed a very similar journey to ourselves....I think we are closer to them in achievment and profile than any other club.
I believe I'm right in saying we have played them more than any other side over the years....can anyone confirm that?
I first went there (Fratton Park that is),around 1961/62 season.

Believe it is by some distance. Middlesbrough next I think.

He deserves to get the freedom of the place. If Portsmouth didn't want him to go then they could of refused him permissiopn to talk to Tottenham.
This is the same board that let him talk to Newcastle in Jan[/quote]
Depends what contract said. Pompey made so little fuss it sounds like the clause stated that if any club offered £5M then the Board had to let him talk to them.
I think i've visited Fratton Park more than any other away ground.
I was there the day Jimmy Dickinson played his 600th game for them...it was against us.
Charlton captain Mike Bailey presented him with a silver salver from CAFC before the kick off.

I think in the back of their minds is the fact that he already did a bunk when he went to scumhampton.
The old bill down there are awful they will probably be the ones giving him the abuse
