I remember the last day of the 2004/5 season
where Portsmouth basically threw their game at West Brom knowing it would increase Southampton's chance of relegation.
If Saints, us and Palace had clubbed together to offer Pompey's players bonuses to actually try and win the game that would have actually enhanced the integrity of the competition.
