Hiddink out?

 

[beardyian]

Pompey have no Hart

no, it's not a comment, but a fact, Paul Hart has been 'relieved of his first team duties' the club statement says.

One name mentioned for the job is Darren Ferguson, son of Sir Alex and just sacked from Peterborough after getting them promoted twice in two seasons.

Our (Pompey's) next game? - home to Man Utd - oh joy

Dad v Son in dugout? (except for the touchline ban on Sir Alex lol )

And its official. Liverpool is out of the CL .
Funny how we are favorits to win the euro league by most bookies even before we enter it!

Lyon came so close to stealing a point in Florence after sitting back for like 80min but Fiorentina´s keeper maked a great save just add the end .



Ian, isnt Avram Grant the main canditate for the Pompey job?

He would be if his work permit ever turns up

Chelsea have their own channel, Chelsea TV
Manchester United have MUTV
Liverpool have...the history channel!!!

Very unlucky for them joking apart, cant start a season so negatively though and seriously expect to be challenging for trophies.
Taxi for Benitez!
And a whip round for a new striker please...any striker???

Liverpool actualy have LFCTV .
Had to correct u even if i know your just joking .

But seriously wtf is the deal with not trusting Aqualini to play for more then 30sec.
I mean ffs he has been fit(i realize he had that virus but i mean his injurys have healed) for over a month and yet he hasnt played more then a total of like 15min.
Yeah yeah he needs match fitness but how the hell are u suposed to get match fit if u dont get to play!

Your man Gillette needs to stick his hand in his pocket for a playmaker and a finisher. If only they had made a bid for David Villa (Torres' partner up front for Spain, obvious partnership!) in the summer. Whether he was officially for sale...who knows, but everyone has a price!
January will be interesting now. Maybe Man City will sell you an attacker! We dont believe in charity though, it'll cost ya!

 

[S93]

We have a playmaker, he just has a hard time controling the game from the bench/physio room. .

They can't afford anyone though

gesshoo Id like to wish Liverpool all the best in Europe's Carling cup

 

[percy312]

all they should do with the ref situation, is hand out yellow cards to anyone who answers back to the refs who isnt a captain. In rugby you get marched ten yards for complaining, you get penalty flags in american football, you get misconducts in hockey, hell you even get points deducted in tennis for it. Why they cant just do something that simple is beyond me.

I totally agree, they complain about the disrespect, but fail to do anything about it.
And I can't believe there isn't a video replay This is just pathetic, What other major sports don't use them...

 

[FTP_TheNuts]

Ruud Van Nistelrooy to Liverpool In January? Just a transfer rumour at the moment, would this be good? im sure hed do a better job than fecking Voronin i know...i think it would be a good move for him and the club, might bring some hope to liverpool, what woth torres injury woes an all

 

[liamkg]

Van the Man is my hero

If he comes back to England

Come Home 2

Manchester United

 

[Aud300]

I never said he wasn't a good manager. Just not world-class.

O'Really ?

 

[Aud300]

Wow, I Leave for a couple days and this thread goes crazy. First, I don't mind one bit that 'Pool is down and out right now. With the Injuries suffered by 'pool this season they are not finding the rhythm needed to be a top 4 four side. I love how 'pool fans are turning on Bentiez when he won the Champion's League a few seasons ago and a consistent top 4 team. In previous seasons and this one also can any 'pool fan tell me your squad is better than L'Arse, Locomotiv London and MANURE? I didn't think so. You also have to have money to spend it and 'pool are in DEBT! Plus with Piatini cracking down on teams having money to spend it 'pool fan be ready to come back to the pack. Secondly, My Spurs scored 9 .. I watched the game on delay here in the states and I was like really.. I cannot believe that score line.

 

[beardyian]

I cannot believe that score line.

You weren't the only one lol


What a great weekend lined up - can't wait, the tension is building and the buzz of excitement is everywhere, everyone is talking about the big games -
Arsenal & Chelsea,
Liverpool & Everton,
Real Madrid & Barcelona......
but the real biggy......Pompey v Man Utd with a new manager and horrible weather on the south coast for the fancy dans of United.

Play up Pompey arty:

 

[GeoffLacey]

Benitez just isn't a 'world class' manager

O'Really ?

Ya rly

 

[S93]

Ian, isnt Avram Grant the main canditate for the Pompey job?

Boom.
Honestly i think he was a good pick by Portsmouth.
He did a good job at Chelsea and if he where a high profile manager he probably would have gotten to keep his job after he got 2nd in the PRM and CL...

Sorry Sindri gotta disagree with you there, he did a good job cos he didnt change anything from 'Maureens' time, the team, tactics were all the same and the players knew what they were meant to do. I don't see him motivating the players at Pompey any better than Hart could.

I personally Think Pompey will stay up if Dindane doesn't start..That Guy can't hit the side of a barn right now.. Unbelievable. Plus my Spurs Drew today which we were the better side in the second half. Ugh! I need Locomotiv London and L'Arse to draw also.

 

[Gesshoo]

OK. The title is a two-horse race, but Chelsea will win. ManU don't have a good enough defence to win it this year.

Arsenal will finish top 4 for sure. Think they'd be in with a shout but losing VP has proven their squad is a bit too small I think.

Last CL place will be between Liverpool/Villa/Spurs/ManC. Hard to call that one right now. Is it conceivable Liverpool could finish 8th - have to say it is.

Is it Benitez fault? He's the manager, so has to take a large part of the blame, but overall most LFC fans blame the owners. They have lied, placed a huge debt on the club and still failed to start the new stadium that was due next season. If they sacked Benitez there'd be a riot.

Happy times for ManU fans clearly to see us so low - may be their only consolation this year though - no Prem and no CL for you either, I'm afraid.....you just don't know it yet. (that enough smiley faces?)

Pompey will go down - sorry Ian. Even now they are playing well and losing - that's a very bad thing. Missing good chances and giving up bad goals. Hope I'm wrong but.....

West Brom wins again,,,

I'm actually one of the few who wouldn't mind to see him go... He's a great manager and has done really well for us, but I don't agree with his team selection and some questionable signings... If we are to win the prem, we need someone who's more aggresive than Rafa...

Good win at the derby at leastLFC!!!!!!!!
