A brief history of the fall & fall of Portsmouth FC.

We take a brief look at the recent history of Portsmouth FC, and how, though a string of bad ownership, the club went from FA Cup winners in 2008, to League Two in 2013.

I'm not a Portsmouth fan but seeing any club fall like that through very little fault of their own is genuinely upsetting. I hope Portsmouth can one day regain their place in the Premier league

You forgot to mention Portsmouth reaching the 2010 FA Cup final, but not being able to play in the following seasons Europa League due to financial implications.

And then I took over and led them to 3 back to back to back promotions, and eventually lead them to a UCL triumph. Well at least in fifa 16 I did. Lol

Spanish fan here, for some reason I started following Pompey back in 2005, I was even lucky enough to visit Fratton Park and I could enjoy the 3-1 win against Derby County in january 2008. It was a fantastic experience. Its also funny because thats the day Lass Diarra made his first Pompey appearance, and both my father and I thought he was brilliant. Not much later, he signed for Real, which is the Spanish club I support. Portsmouth fans are great, what they did for their club was brilliant, and they deserve the best. Hope this is the season Pompey starts climbing divisions.

Such a shame, can happen to any but the biggest clubs in the country.. Let's hope this never happens again!

Still remember watching Pompey play and almost beat Milan when they had still players like Ronaldinho, Inzaghi etc

[hardcorepeewee]

Still won the fa cup more recently than Tottenham

[Matthew-epls]

Could you do a video on either the decline of the two Milan clubs or the fall of Parma! Great video again :)

[jimon]

got to admit fratton park is one of the best small stadiums

[coreyhall]

My dad Paul hall played for Portsmouth

[jonahparsley]

watching this in 2019, we are on our way back after narrowly missing promotion in the playoffs but won the Checkatrade Trophy and made some cracking signings so I fully believe that this year is our year!

PLAY UP POMPEY!

Didn't the FA say these "men" passed their fit and proper persons tests?! Then the FA docked them points on more than one occasion ??

[cameronlee]

You should definitely do a video on Carlos Tevez and Mascherano. Signed for West Ham illegally or something. I think the players they were owned by a company.

[michaelaustin]

Wish you would make more videos like these instead of the tactic ones. Quality work guys. A video on Red bull Salzburg or the decline of the FA cup would be good to see.

[CAMZAB]

Does anyone remember the Portsmouth fan covered in Portsmouth tattoos? He used to be in footy mags and the camera always looked for him in the crowd.

[BENS]

Any more videos about Portsmouth’s fan ownership model would be amazing. I love this channel it’s what I’ve been waiting for

[nzgersfan]

Best channel on YouTube for learning about football teams

[rosssilcott]

Great videos. Maybe a video on Southampton rise and youth academy would be great. Also the athletic Bilbao and their only basque player rule if you wanted go beyond the premier league.

Keep up the good work.
