These are all of the major surveys and rankings which take a range of criteria into account so there is a very fair and objective balance there. Probably the fairest of them all is the Big Club Survey, which asked fans around the country to rank the clubs using 10 different criteria.

If you wanted to, you could take an average of them all.

I have always thought of us as a medium sized club so it is interesting to see where we are ranked given our lack of silverware.

Unfortunately, all of these lists are from reputable national sources, with no axe to grind, like World Soccer and Talksport, and none of them were compiled by an obsessed Little Pompey fan. So, you wouldn't expect them to appear in the top 30.

Talksport give a very balanced, objective view, taking a range of criteria into account:

Actually the reply here is just a cut n paste that I have posted a couple of times before ie just like Dirk does, that's the little in joke here. The hilarious bit is that nobody ever comments on how one sided the facts are. that is the bit that really makes me laugh.

Most of Worzel 130's lists are just the unhinged rantings of an imbecile, with just a slight change in the wording in each line until they become totally meaningless drivel:

"Number of all time top 500 Top Flight Goal scorers from a Hampshire town/ city
Number of all time top 500 Top Flight Goal scorers from a Hants conurbation
Number of all time top 500 Top Flight Goal scorers with most goals at club"

And, of course, as soon as you bother to check any of them from a reputable source, you find out they are just a tissue of lies anyway.

Little Pompey only ever had 1 player who scored more than 100 top flight goals - Harris 70 years ago, whereas Saints have had 3: Le Tissier, Davies and Channon.

He has been outed time and time again on here as a liar. No wonder, nobody believes a word he says. I doubt that he even believes himself.

Haven't most of the last 70 years been lowlights?

Little Pompey have been lower league rubbish for most living fans lifetime, you'd have to have been born before Hittler kicked off to remember them being any good.

That's why them chips weigh so heavy, and your fans hate us so much, as they're used to watching dross week in, week out, year in, year out.
Bitter Ba$tards.

More lowlights, years without a major trophy

1st . 91 years : 1885 to 1976. Soton
2nd. 58 years : 1950 to 2008 : Little Pompey
3rd. 44 years : 1976 to 2020 : Soton
4th. 41 years : 1898 to 1939 : Little Pompey
5th. 12 years : 2008 to 2020 : Little pompey
6th. 10 years : 1939 to 1949 : Little pompey
7th. 1 year : 1949 to 1950 : Little Pompey

Thank goodness you won that FA cup in 76, or it would be 135 years. Those years between 1885 and 76 must have been tough.

If only the rest of the country took notice of Worzel 130 instead of Talksport and World Soccer, Little Pompey would be in the top 30.

They are big in his own mind although still not as big as Saints because nearly his whole life seems to be spent studying SFC and posting on SFC message boards. You can be sure that, although he obviously doesn't go to the matches of any team, the first result he always looks for is Saints' and not Little Pompey's.

Do you ever stop to properly check the complete tosh that you write? I mean properly!

Pompey : 4 3 : Number of players for club scoring 100 or more Top Flight goals

The above statement is completely correct
Harris
Weddle
Reid
Easson

And putting them in the all time table of top flight national scorers we have:

33 Harris : Little Pompey
50 Weddle : Little pompey
59 Channon
71 Le Tissier
128 Davies
140 Reid : Little Pompey
238 Easson : little Pompey

Little pompey come out top again I'm afraid to say.

Some people are incapable of getting their minds around the concept of an independent assessment of clubs. The facts are quite simple. The skates had a purple patch some 70 years ago together with some recent success, albeit bought fraudulently bought with money they didn’t have.

It’s utterly pathetic that anyone of sound mind would try to argue differently. The same sort of moron who believes the world is flat or that the moon is made of cheese.

It must really hurt that any rational assessment would rate ourselves and Brighton and possibly Boscombe more highly than the blue few. Shit, even Watford and Wigan are more impressive than them now.
