I don't see how you can say we didn't deserve at least a point last night.


Atletico had 2 shots on goal all night. Ref made some terrible decisions and finally a call went our way and it was debatable. A Swedish ref should not be officiating at that level. He has nowhere near enough experience, unlike referees from la liga, the premiership etc.

I don't see how you can say we didn't deserve at least a point last night.


I never did. We deserved a point, I just said Atletico deserved their point, and I'm not sure I agree with the phrase Liverpool deserved AT LEAST a point. Think it was a fair result basically.


The lad Ngog was fecking shite when he came on, looked way way ou of his league!

Typical Away performance by many decent teams,namely plenty of possession but no real penetration and Roma scored against the run of play to go in with a lucly 1/0 Lead.


That is what I said last night.

Now substitute Chelsea for Man United at Celtic tonight!...They have had 75% of the game but can't put it in,even from 5 yards out.(6)


Still think they will in the last 25 mins though.

Law Of Averages.

I kept the faith and Won my Bet: Celtic-Half/Time--Draw Full-Time(Also did Celtic-ManUtd and ManUtd-Draw) but thanks to that XXXX Bebatov(who missed from 6 yards-centre of Goal--trying doing that-it ain't easy to miss:X) I would have got the other bet up,as well

Under 2.5 Goals @ 1.16 ?427.00 ?496.63 ?69.63 ...though after trading it cost me ?239 not the original ?427 Profit.

Cheers Berba(6)


p.s That was the LAST kick of the game,literally.

Where as I am hoping for a series of Spurs injuries, and an unfortunate incident where some of the baggy flesh on Harry Redknapp's face gets caught in a huge industrial fan and rips his head off! The saggy faced one is trying to nick our goalkeeping coach and chief scout! The swine! ;)

David James has today stated that he will not leave Pompey. Not much point in signing a 38 yr old keeper imo. Defoe can leave but not to go to Tottenham.


Diarra - well it looks like he will be off, but I reckon it will be for Champs League (so only Man U or Liverpool in this country and Liverpool probably could not afford him. We'll have to wait and see.


My bet is on Krancjkar going to Spurs to link up with Modric and Corluka (you are welcome to him by the way) reckon this could happen for around ?10m-12m


You are of course welcome to Djimi Traore, David Nugent, Lauren, John Utaka or Papa Booba Diop Do whop de doo!


Reckon Spurs may try and get Belhadj next summer as well! He is mustard!

So a good shot stopper but calamitous at crosses...James-10 years then.

??? Great performance from The Spurs last night with man-mounatain Tom Huddlestone Man of the Match for me. Its encouraging to see a smooth, slick performance to follow on from 2 games where we've ridden our luck at times but got the all important points. A night of Rarities too with the first european hat trick for Spurs in 25 years(the long winded Crooks bagged our last) and young John Bostock becoming our youngest ever debutante at 16 years of age. Modric was outstanding again and everything looks encouraging for our visist to Citeh on Sunday. :)

Clive Tyldsley. Clive Tyldsley. Dear God that man's annoying.


I've listened to him slowly disappearing up the collective United ar5e for years and last night was the first time I've heard him commentate on City what with us not being in Europe much. It's even worse listening to him commentate on a team you support, constantly trying to put together memorable phrases and sound like everything is historic.


And then he has the ignorance to say City (City!) are safe with a two goal lead and can now relax. Clearly a man who has never seen the club play and who knows nothing about football.


I just hope Channel 5 have our other games.

What bon3yard said and ok Keef Bent is improving, slowly but surely. I feel someone like Redknapp can only give him the kind of confidence he needs to put in the kind of performances that he is now beginning to show. His first hat-trick in five years though. Still needs to do better for me. Anyway he has created a nice bit competition for places up front with Pavlyuchenko and that can only be a good thing.

Very entertaining game last night, Modric at his best, a hat-trick for Bent, Woodgate in total command at the back but Man of the Match has to go to Huddlestone who was superb throughout laying on all of Bent's goals and scoring a fabulous volley direct from a Bentley corner.

I've got to mention the fans from Dinamo Zagreb who were brilliant and in fantastic voice all night and really added to a great atmosphere. They lit a few flares which reminded us that we were playing a European tie and when secrurity moved in they protested by all taking the shirts off. They continued singing, and banging their drums and blowing their whistles in time even after the game was long over. Even louder and more continuous that Pompey's away support and that's saying something.

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
