You could apply that to Celtic too at the mo. Roobish. Mowbray has won fewer games than John Barnes did at this stage of season!

Shenanigans going on at Pompey today. Club to fold next week if new owner not found. Some lawyer unconnected to the club but connected to the owner is hawking Kaboul, Begovic and Belhadj round any club that might want them. I think there might be a riot in Portsmouth soon!


Probably will not still be around to play Saints in the cup!

Spot on - could not agree more.


He has at least bought a "box player" in the January window. Might help convert some of the possession into goals.

i'm wondering if you and I watch the same tottenham hotspur.....kaboul was a frightening liability when he played for spurs. it was a miracle portsmouth paid us good money for him.


However; as he does with so many seemingly lost causes, harry managed to coax a decent player out of him, and now he looks worth having in the squad.

I quite like Kaboul, he did make some awful defensive blunders whilst at Spurs in his first season in English football but the game is a lot different than in France and takes some getting used to. He's improved since going to Portsmouth and as a young player still has more to learn. You don't get to be the France Under-21 captain if you aren't any good.


What does look to be a good deal though in the short term is the arrival on loan from Monaco of Eidur Gudjohnsen. He is top quality who can play in the midfield or up front as a centre-forward or just behind the main striker. It'll give Spurs plenty of more options going forward as I think Crouch, as good as he is at what he does is a little limited in his movement. Surely the end for Pavlyuchenko though.


As for Robinho - what a waste of money. He was already struggling to get into the first team at Real Madrid before Man City amazingly paid ?32m for him. He's got to be one of the laziest most selfish players ever. All that skill going to waste. Shame on him because he's let himself down more than anything.

Rio Ferdinand 4 match ban... hmm... but more to the point what are the FA going to do about the yob culture at Old Trafford. Chucking coins and bottles at a player whilst trying to take a corner is no joke. United have come out with the usual statements about life bans but it seems there is trouble with United supporters all too often. I believe that is the 3rd time this month alone they have brought violence to a football ground (following on from their visits to St Andrews and Eastlands).
You'd think the Manure "fans" would be chucking money at the Glazers ! Seriously, that was a disgrace- I know some of our lot can be bad but but The MU crowd are getting worse- 11 arrests before and after the game and 6 arrests made over the flare incident. The FA should ban them from Wembley, sorry to true fans but its a lesson that has to be taught.

    • Moving into a new place and need both a wardrobe and a chest of drawers, ideally collection Friday. Thanks!
    • Lordship Lane has two dry cleaners, three pizza places and an Italian selling pizza, two burger places, three bakeries, two hardware (ish, I'm thinking AJ Farmer here), God knows how many coffee and charity shops, two Italians, three nail salons, five wine shops... Where was the abject outrage when Dynamic Vines opened up literally next door to Cave de Bruno? But I don't see his customers decamped next door - no, those stalwarts are still out in force every night.  In Roman times all businesses were clustered by product. It's what kept prices down. Same in any market you go to abroad, they're all selling the same things next to each other.  Why is everyone being so hard on this new place? It's called healthy competition - you can't curtail the expansion of your business on the basis you that might hurt someone else's. 
    • I have a new fixation so any available, please let me know.  Thanks.
    • In restaurant terms I would say a chain manifests when the motivation is no longer “we are a couple/small group who have an idea and love food” who open a restaurant, them another and then a few more BUT THEN PIVOT to “we need capital to rollout out new restaurants so we have leveraged the help of the following investors”  that is the moment it stops being about the chef/food on the plate and becomes about the spreadsheet  so it is POSSIBLE  for a restaurant to have 50 branches and not be a chain - but I can’t think of any  I don’t know chango - by based on the number of outlets they appear to have just crossed/or are about to cross that line
