Location: Portsmouth, Hampshire.Nickname: Pompey. I don't know why or really even how you're supposed to pronounce this.
Stately, Non-Commercial Stadium Name: Fratton Park.
Crest: Deceptively newfangled, overtly Islamic, disgustingly simple.
Season So Far: They've been sellers in the transfer market and had a manager leave mid-season so it's not all that surprising to find them just a few places above the relegation zone.
General vibe to a casual American fan: Not much, they usually keep a low profile. Smallest current stadium in the EPL. They won the FA cup last year. Only been in the EPL since 2003. Were in the 4th tier as recently as the early 80's. Yep.
That is a secret Muslim crest!
