Matt Group: Admins Posts: 1186 Joined: Nov. 2002 Posted: May 05 2010, 07:13 The local UK newspaper Portsmouth Today has published an article about the Facebook campaign to get Mikes single Portsmouth high into the UK charts again. The article includes an interview with Mike where he talks about hoping to watch the football teams cup final which inspired the campaign. Thanks, Chris Simmons -------------- "I say I say I say I say, what's got three bottles and five eyes and no legs and two wheels" Back to top

I think lifting the cup may help as much as one of our favourite tunes getting back in the charts. Crisis may have been more apt. Anyway, GO Portsmouth -------------- I, ON THE OTHER HAND.

HuanCry Group: Members Posts: 303 Joined: May 2005 Posted: May 05 2010, 07:48 I love the Portsmouth tune and ( not surprisingly ) Mike says he is supporting Portsmouth for the Cup .......... but I'm a Chelsea fan !! What do I do ? !! I suppose if Chelsea are to lose then Portsmouth is the only other club I would wish to win the FA Cup  considering the crisis they are going through right now and they are coached by an ex-Chelsea Manager ..Avram Grant !

My word, I would ABSOLUTELY LOVE to see Chelsea lose the FA cup final, as Liverpool can't do the job it'll have to be Portsmouth. In fact liverpool have an under 18 goalkeeper by the name of Oldield, perhaps he should put in for a transfer to Pompey. These facebook campaigns do occasionally work, can't see it happening this time though sadly. -------------- Listen to Mohribold; an epic musical tapestry that weaves between a multitude of genres.

Thanks, Chris Simmons You know  I moved to Portsmouth a few months back but it has been recently that song has come into mind constantly whenever I've gone into the city centre. ' Portsmouth News' seems to be a good newspaper ;quite ethical;  glad they did the article. So you know what to do guys and girls, next time you hear the tune be ready to dance around like the ladies on the Portsmouth Music video.  Id like to see footballers do that one- not. Back to top

gths Group: Members Posts: 26 Joined: April 2009 Posted: May 07 2010, 22:20 Seems like timely too since "Portsmouth" is popping up on the Ommadawn reissue next month. And the video! That used to intrigue me as a very small kid because the ABC here in Australia used to show it to fill gaps in their afternoon kids programming along with other video clips like Fleetwood Mac's Tusk and Roger Glover's Butterfly Ball, which was and still is absolutely terrifying. At least the dancing ladies were kind of soothing. Back to top

wiga Group: Members Posts: 2113 Joined: Sep. 2008 Posted: May 15 2010, 05:45 Hey, nice interview that. I wonder how "Portsmouth" is doing in the charts? I'll be rooting for Portsmouth in the final this afternoon - the underdog - but they played a blinder semi-final against Spurs       -------------- Barn's burnt down - now I can see the moon.

hairy old hippy Group: Members Posts: 304 Joined: July 2005 Posted: May 16 2010, 10:52 A most predictable victory for damn Chelski, I was gutted! I'd love to see neither Man Utd or Chelski win anything next year. Don't think Portsmouth even charted in the top 40! -------------- Listen to Mohribold; an epic musical tapestry that weaves between a multitude of genres.
