Thought I'd start a football blog, we might keep this going until 2010.....England doing well....did not see the match or even the goals....I'd like Michael owen back in the squad though....and I think Peter Crouch would make a very good substitute...remember against Argentina in Geneva a few years ago....with Michael Owen and some very good movements on and off the ball...they caused havoc.....did see Scotland's missed chance....that could be very costly losing those 2 points !.

JeffI would like to see a team like Portsmouth do wellI was just pointing out factHarry gave the fans an FA Cuptheir first for seven decadesits utter bo**ocks to have a swipe at a manager because he left for a bigger club{choke}how many loyal managers have been given the ding!FFSlook at the players we have lost at West Ham over the yearsI will always be gutted but understand their reasonsI dont want them to go to Man Utd.Chelseaor Spursand then break their leg.Jeffhave you not been disloyal to further your career?and I suspect Flasher hasI believe there is more than a little hypocrisy going on here?
You never miss an opportunity Jeffbut as you have kept it civil and within the realms of a good debateIll take it on the chin

You only have to click on my name to see who I support. No love lost between our supporters.

Jeff it is sad that so many talk about hatred between teamsI am a football puristif a team performs I will marvel and enjoyof course I would rather see West Ham win all their gamesbut if Millwall outplay themI will except we were beaten by the better teamwhich is a matter of factit is the idiots that cant except a result or decision.. including West Ham fans that fu*k it up for the restand I am afraid that mentality applies to many subjects in Britain at the moment

Tabby
Couldnt disagree about that statement. But there are always teams that you want to beat more than others.

The Germans...

Tabsaco answer me this what was Wan_er Redknapps first game incharge as a manager and what was the score?.

Good morning all>

Flashercant remember the exact resultI believe from memory he got stuffed by several goalswhat is your point?are you judging his career on one gameHow about that same season he knocked Man Utdthe cup holders out of the FA Cupon your premise of one game that would make him the best manager in the country
While we are on about Man Utd.how about Alex Fergusons first season?well down the leaguejust one away winmedia predicting the boot.it was a good job the board didnt take your short term view!
22 years later as manager of Manchester Unitedhe has also won more trophies than any other manager in the history of English football.
Flasheryou probably have 20-20 visionbut you are a little blind.now you answer me a question
Do you think Portsmouths history would read better if Harry had never joined the club?................nuff said...

Do you lot have to be so rude ?....stick to talking about soccer !....surprise of the year to me are the Villa boys......they are going like an Aston Martin...get it !...Aston Martin (O'Neil) ....now with Heskey and if they sign Michael Owen for next season...well Champion contenders next year ?....I think Portsmouth are going down...does not look good for them !.

RF.football debates are often heatedI was not conscious of being rude or offensiveI believe flashers passion for his club distorted his overview of the Harry/Pompey sagaI tried to point out fact as a judgementbut all debates have their spin on things..

rf

the fact you call football soccer means you need abuse!! stick to american faggot sports you mug

cheers

You don't know the meaning of good behaviour riccardo1986 !.....like most of this country, sunk so low you don't even know it.....by the way you can call football "soccer"....tut tut !, back to school ....oh ! I forgot you never went there !.

RF - Villa have certainly done very well this season (to date), but the idea of them being title challengers is stretching it, by anyones standards.

Tabasco, Redknapp lost his first game 10-0, yes he did get Bournemouth promotion but he also got them relagated 2 years later. He tries to be the cheeky chappy cockney but he taps players up look what Steve Bruce and Benitez have had to say in the last week?. As for West Ham and the young players he produced Tony Carr the youth coach at West Ham must take most of the credit for Cole, Lampard, Ferdinad x2, Defoe, etc and he is still producing good players. Redknapp was also sacked from his job with the Seattle Sounders And got Southampton relagated (but I must say what a great job he did there all Pompey fans will be ever greatful to him for that). Look at the money he has spent at the clubs he has been at.
As for Tony Adams this guy should be given a chance a young English manager we have no money and he is doing the best job he can, he may well get the sack but most fans are behind him at the moment, if we go down then so be it. As to your History Question as i said before we at Portsmouth have had a great 5 years but thats what it is History. I see somebody up top is reading my last post as it looks like Defoe is out for the season. anyway predictions for relagation please here's mine 1. West Brom, 2. Middlesbrough, 3. Newcastle/Stoke.

Flasher - Difficult call on the relegation front this year - personally I think Hull could be one despite their start.

Newcastle - may well depend on the activity over the next few days.

Stoke - Yes please

WBA - unfortunate, as they are a good club on and off the pitch

"As to your History Question as i said before we at Portsmouth have had a great 5 years but thats what it is History." >

Flasherthat is all I was sayingyou had a great time with Harry in chargeor was it down to the groundsmanor the hot dog seller?take it from methe youth team coach is just thatmanagers make decisions and give contractsyour club unfortunately is in freefalllet us see how loyal the bod are with Adams.
Predictions for relegation WBA.StokePortsmouthhope I am wrong!

Joe Say....about Aston Villa...with a couple of extra players : I could see them being close to the top next year, this season regardless of yesterday's result the Gunners are struggling to keep up with them.....anyway we shall see !, my tips (for what it's worth ) for relegation : West Brom, Portsmouth and Middlesbrough !.

Buzz is Adams sacked Monday. Who's out there?.

On the cards from the moment he was appointed, so not surprised if true.

It seems they have kissed and made up for a couple of more games.
