Why? Well, the work 'flake' rhymes with 'shake' (LOL!) which is what Fratton Park did during this game as the Pompey fans cranked up the volume to levels not heard for quite some time with a stirring, repeating rendition of 'Tony Adams' Blue And White Army!'.
Today's video and commentary, from the Channel Five coverage, catches the moment perfectly. On the day of the South Coast Derby against Saints let's hope we see the same levels of noise and passion today!
Enjoy the video to get in the mood and have an enjoyable afternoon! PUP!

FT: Portsmouth 2-2 AC Milan
Pompey goalscorers: Younes Kaboul on 62 minutes and King Kanu on 73 minutes. At 2-0 Pompey fans were in Heaven, but a fantastic free-kick by Ronaldinhio and an added time toe-poke equaliser by Italian legend Inzaghi made the final score 2-2. So near and yet so far...nothing will take away the memories of the night though which will last forever. It really was electric.
