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.

    • As I said, it was my understanding. I worded it very carefully. I didn't/don't know for sure, so clearly not a fact. And hardly an "opinion", which is something completely different. You have no idea what reason anybody might have had for not voting for him (unless you can point to some opinion poll results which actually asked people?)
    • Also, just to add, the threat to kill someone's dog and try to kick it, is an additional extremely unpleasant layer. I have noticed a lot of the burst water balloons lying around in the park too- that is not great for the environment either.
    • I’m basing it on the fact that Jeremy Corbyn had repeatedly and on record said he is against mandatory vaccinations in any situation, and he wouldn’t disclose wether he had the Covid vaccine himself    as I said. Not as bad as his brother but very definitely a bit weird about the whole thing. Just say you had the vaccination Jeremy, say that everyone should and stop being weird in the middle of a global pandemic    it’s the same slippery evasive nonsense about Brexit and him. About Putin poisonings and him.     if you are happy with his evasiveness then you do you.  But there is a reason the country wouldn’t get behind him
