Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp claims only "idiots" will make him feel unwelcome at Portsmouth this weekend.[LNB]Redknapp will make his first return to Fratton Park since leaving Pompey last year as Spurs visit in the Barclays Premier League on Saturday.[LNB]The 62-year-old enjoyed considerable success in two spells with the south coast club, including winning the FA Cup in 2008, but Pompey have since been beset by turmoil and are currently bottom of the table.[LNB]Redknapp accepts some fans may try to give him a hostile reception but he is not concerned. "People who have got any sense look at what I did for that football club," he said.[LNB]"I took them from the bottom of the Championship to winning the Championship and becoming a top-seven, top-eight Premier League club, winning the FA Cup.[LNB]"If people are stupid enough to shout abuse they need their heads looking at in my opinion. I'm not bothered about the idiots. There are enough good people at the club who I know well and appreciate what I did there. Am I bothered about some nutter running up to me? No. I don't need security, I can look after myself."
