The English Premiership season has given fans many talking points and, as always, one of the world’s fastest rollercoaster of emotions. There have been ups, downs, turns, and a few loose screws that provided thrills that were unanticipated and rarely seen before. One such loose screw has been Portsmouth, a small but proud club from England’s south coast that has enjoyed a rich history and some exciting times in the world’s greatest league.

What more can soccer fans ask for? Last summer saw a huge change in the English Premier League: the league's - and world's - best player, Cristiano Ronaldo, left a rampant Manchester United side in order to pursue warmer weather, beautiful women, and a spot in Armani photo shoots (the man from Portugal, of course, stole the limelight from David Beckham for the fashion giants). In doing so, Ronaldo shifted the power from Sir Alex Ferguson and the Red Devils to Roman Abramovich's billions of dollars invested down in London at Chelsea.
