Pompey fans know who he is and you're either with his gang or not 😉
*he has the trumpet as well
** the bell ringing actually is similar to the sounds you hear when the tide is out around the harbours here, so its not too bad 🙂

I don't like him much either 😛
Thought we [Pompey] maybe deserved at least a point today, considering we are "the team everyone wants to play against" and Man City are buying everyone in sight.
How many shots did City have? for all their strikers they looked pretty goal shy.
If only Nugent would realise the big netted area is where he should try and kick the ball not 10 miles over (as last week) or volley it into the turf (as today).
Need a creative midfielder and a decent striker, a defender or two would be nice too lol.

All the money he spent in wages and contract bonuses have left the club crippled in debt - hence the sales.
A new owner in place now though, a few journeymen buys in on Friday, maybe buy a few prayers as well lol 😀
wow.
Fifa really showing who the boss is.

I guess Chelsea should be fine this season so losing the Jan window prolly wont hurt there title bid to much(barring injurys) but next season could be horrible for them.
In the Jan 2011 window all the best players will have moved during the previous summer window and the players they can sign will all be cup/europe tied.
And if Real/City make some massive offers for the likes of Terry,Drogba,Lampard,Essien ect next Jan and any of them has a min fee release clause in there contract they would be screwed with out a replacement!

Add to that Ferreira, Hilario and Carvalho too. All over 30 now
By the time that ban comes up Terry, A.Cole and Malouda will all be 30, I think Chelsea need to win the league this year else this squad could be done.
The likes of Essien may well feel a new challenge for the likes of Madrid maybe too tempting when his current team gets too old and Abramovich seems to have decided to stop playing fantasy football.
With the higher tax level coming in next year it will be harder for English sides to convince top European players to come here and just as hard to persuade the current ones to stay.

There is a good chance the sanction will be reduced to one transfer window on appeal. If that's the case, it's not a big problem for them. Saying that, the African nations cup kicks off in January and Chelsea might of wanted to do some business by way of loans etc during that time to cover for those overseas. At the end of the day though, they breached rules, and so did the player contractually. No club/player should be allowed to do that without recourse so I guess it's a fair punishment really.

this is pretty much the only thing right now that's stopping me from throwing lots of money on chelsea to win the league (well, this and potential injuries). they lose two key players (Drogba, Essien) and a couple of fringe players (Kalou, Mikel although i dunno if he even plays for nigeria lole) for a while. A badly-timed injury or two at that time coupled with a good run in the cup for the relevant countries and they could be playing with a horribly depleted squad for the best part of a month.
nobody else in the 'big 4' really loses anyone key that i can think of to the african nations.
agree that the two-window thingy will be cut to one on appeal. also if fifa think chelsea are the only ones guilty of this sort of thing then they're idiots (hi man u and real madrid among many others).
