Fans hit back at Olisadebe's criticism of Pompey and city
And even former Blues hero Ricardo Rocha joined the chorus of disapproving voices eager to rubbish the former Polish international's remarks.
Olisadebe, who moved to Fratton Park from Greek outfit Panathinaikos in 2006, slammed Pompey as a 'small club' in a 'hideous city'.

Hide AdThe Nigerian-born front man, who made just two substitute appearances during his time on the south coast, also described joining the Blues as the worst mistake of his career.
His comments surprised many, not least because most fans had luckily forgotten about the former Polonia Warsaw player's brief and uninspiring stay that was cut short after four months.
Yet with their memories refreshed, probably with the help of Wikipedia, Pompey fans responded in their numbers.
Here's a selection of those views, which came to us via portsmouth.co.uk, Facebook and Twitter, that have been deemed suitable for republication...

Absolute nobody! Biggest mistake was signing him.

Yet Pompey get more than treble Panathinaikos average league gate despite being 3rd tier.

Hide AdWhy did he leave his big club for less money? Because the big club didn't want him. Neither did we, he was useless.
He was right about the no training facilities back then, though.

Who are yer!
Tony Knipe
His opinion is really important too.
Rik May
Must have been terrible for you on probably 40k a week and such a average player.
Steve Harvey
Sounds like a very dedicated athlete if his biggest complaints are about nightlife!
