No-one wants to make matchday threads anymore.True, Fratton Park is rarely an easy place to go, but then their current dip in form is even worse than our own. If this was a few months time and Pompey had discovered how to get the best out of Crouch and Defoe, we'd be facing a tougher task.
Lacks creativity too me, Rooney was poor today, Scholes was unusually poor with his passing. O Shea isn't going to tear open defences either.
Pros and cons, really used to like the build up for the Monday night games in the early days of the Premier League, nowadays they reserve that for the Sunday 4 o'Clock matches. There is the small matter of having to wait all weekend before your game though.
Agreed, rather Monday night than Saturday lunchtime! Only the wait to see United is problematic but our squad should be in better shape.Pros and cons, really used to like the build up for the Monday night games in the early days of the Premier League, nowadays they reserve that for the Sunday 4 o'Clock matches.

Currently it will work in our favour all the more i believe, particjarly if there are any niggles after the internationals. And also fromthe PoV of were we to ake a signing this week, more days either means more time for the new player with the squad or more time for us to complete it.
Ditch the gloom Cafers!
Looks even worse to me right now, pool of lesclay. Carrick's out now and doubt they'll risk Giggsy with his bacon problem. We might have Teveth back but he might not be 100% - who died by the way...just keep seeing a family bereavement...his parents, sister, brother, dog, cat, goldfish? No Anderson, Nani or Hargreaves. Scholes has lost his shooting boots. Guess its all up to Fletch and O'Shea.
I meant our squad should be in better shape on Monday night rather than Saturday lunchtime in relative to the pointless Internationals, sorry about the lack of clarity Red of Bahama
I have no idea about the bereavement so close to Mr Tevez, nor if Giggsy's bacon problem () will have recovered enough for him to make an appearance. I'm sure there is comfort in relying on Fletch and O'shea, as shown by the lack of panic after the Newcastle game today!Commentators today said he was out until at least September. It would be a great help to have him back though, if for only taking set pieces.
Did they say anything about Ji ?I read somewhere that we won't have Hargreaves back until late September...that they've finally figured out his problem and it needs to take its time without rushing him back.
Not that I heard
Yep cause 5 points is such a massive gap to have this stage of the season.........quote from the Bigman John Terry
