"Rivalry" in football just gets more bizarre. Do Fulham & Brentford really "not get on?" They can't have much history. Meanwhile the ludicrous nonsense on the south coast means that Emirates can't paint the tower they have sponsored in their corporate colours for fear of offending Portsmouth supporters despite the fact that said tower has nothing whatsoever to do with the game which is, just in case it is forgotten is,....just a game.

 

The local community having enough pride in their football team to stop a multi-national doing what they want?

 

Probably not the worst thing in the world...

More likely to be a few numpties making daft threats in my view. Is no company with a red brand allowed in Portsmouth?

The Spinnaker Tower is one impressive structure - one would ask what Emirates are looking to gain from their sponsorship?

If it is greater publicity and buy-in from the people of Portsmouth then a sound move I reckon.

So lets all fall in line for the message eh?

:censored: that.

Hats off to the pompey fans.

Agreed. Is it not refreshing to see people power triumph over corporate interests every so often? May be a silly instance this time but there have been so many worthwhile causes defeated by corporates interests in the game in the past decade.

They've not faced one another for a while but can't really knock Fulham and Brentford's rivalry. Add in QPR and it's probably comparable to Dale, Rochdale and Oldham's triangular rivalry but a better standard and more intense.

I know Rochdale are now massive but even with their six fingers they surely can't be counted twice in the Manchester North End triumvirate?

A certain toys growing out of the pram side might well consider themselves to make it a quartet too

Utter madness isn't it?
