Spotted: Portsmouth players serenade John Mousinho with Jose Mourinho chant
Portsmouth are still celebrating a famous League One title triumph after a brilliant 3-2 victory over Barnsley on Tuesday (16 April) sparked wild scenes at Fratton Park.
Videos and images are still being widely shared, some of which are sure to become iconic in Pompey folklore in the coming years.
And one particular video showed how players reacted with manager John Mousinho in the aftermath of the game, with the squad chanting the popular “Who needs Mourinho, we’ve got Mousinho” song, in relation to the former Chelsea and Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho.

The Pompey story is one that Hollywood producers would love to take to the big screen.
The highs of the Premier League, the lows of being on the brink of financial ruin, the drop down to League Two and now the climb back up the leagues.
It has been a long time since Portsmouth were in the second tier but Mousinho has done an absolutely superb job with Portsmouth this season and his left-field appointment has been absolutely justified by this brilliant title triumph.
The images clearly show a lot of love from his players as well as the Pompey faithful and hopefully this is just the next step on the journey back to the promised land of the Premier League.
For now, though, it’s party time. Time to soak up the praise and adulation, celebrate a job well done, and then look forward to battling it out in the Championship once again. Who needs Mourinho?
