Yeah. Gross by name Gross by nature. He was shit. Cheer up ratty, it's not the end of the world. Portsmouth have become a very good and competitive club under Harry Redknapp and he has left you in a realitvely good position with good players. You've got a short memory. Pompey hadn't been in the top division since the 50s or 60s until Harry arrived at the club and you even won the FA Cup last year under him. You seem to have forgotten that.
I'm watching it at a mate's house Sean with some fellow Spurs fans. Pretty damned sure I wouldn't be able to take the ribbing from any Gooners after the inevitable thrashing that I'm pretty sure is coming our way. One swallow doesn't make a summer and we're not out of the woods yet by a long shot and other cliches.

You won't catch the Fiver dredging up loads of 'Arry Redknapp quotes from recent months in which the new Totten'am 'Otspur manager waxes lyrical about 'ow 'appy 'e is at Portsmouth, 'ow it will definitely be 'is last job in football and 'ow it just wouldn't be right for him to leave because 'e feels 'e owes Pompey a debt and 'as to pay vem back. There are a number of reasons for this reticence on our part, the main one being that it would involve effort, which the crack team of finely tuned BS-detectors at football365 were good enough to have their readers exert long before we rolled out of bed this afternoon.

The fact of the matter is that, having established Portsmouth as a Premier League force to be reckoned with, won the FA Cup and overseen the relegation of Southampton to the Championship during his time at Fratton Park, 'Arry doesn't owe the south-coast club a thing. What's more, with massive bucks on offer to restore Tottenham's status as a mid-table side with delusions of grandeur, he'd have been stone-hatchet mad to turn down such a lucrative gig.

"It is brilliant to have an English manager," whooped Ledley King without injuring himself, less than 24 hours after fulfilling his duties as club captain by describing his then boss, the Spaniard Juande Ramos, as "a good manager" who Spurs players were "confident" could "change things". Of course when Ledley says he's confident 'Arry can change things you get the feeling he actually means it and all the evidence to date - a home win over Bolton, whoopity-doo! - suggests he's right.

But before Spurs players and fans completely lose the run of themselves, your tea-timely harbinger of doom thinks it's worth noting that the last time a struggling Premier League side with a nickname beginning with the letter S parachuted 'Arry in to save them from relegation, he appointed his boy Jamie to help him, failed, then left them in the lurch. With betting exchanges already offering odds against Redknapp replacing himself as Portsmouth manager (OK, they're a long 228-1, but probably a lot shorter than those available for Micky Adams, Bryan Robson or Dvd O'Lry), it seems history could be about to repeat itself. Today's Lahn's Lahn E'n'n' Stannah reports that "Redknapp's son Jamie could also be joining the staff" at Spurs

Nearly. I think he managed the scum and never got them relegated. Someone else did that - can't rememeber his name at the moment ;)


Bally also spectacularly saved us one year as well. One of the best escapes in history!


RIP Alan.


Pompey are announcing Adams and Keown as the new management team in an hour or so. Be interesting to see how they do. Joe Jordan is joining Kevin Bond at Tottemham with the Judas.


So that's that settled then. Who's next for the chop?

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
