It is disgusting that the EPL let this happen in the first place. How Balram Chanrai, Daniel Azougy and even Ali or Ahmed Al-Firaj can have passed a fit and proper person test is beyond me, they are all stooges of Arkadi Gaydamak - who is an international arms dealer and is wanted in both France and Israel.

EPL is now desparately trying to back pedal in sorting this fooking mess out.

There are going to be some upset people in the near future, David Gold might be one of them.

Portsmouth as a city is going to erupt soon. Would not be surprised if there is trouble down there sooner or later. Feelings are running very very high.

The repercussions from this are going to be long lasting and deep. It's despicable! Most fans want the club put out of it's misery and wound up now! The situation currently is a farce!

The Whinger Strikes Again

[matthew123]

Scotland to lose one it's CL qualifying spots - http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/europe/8524079.stm

Long gone are the days when Europe feared Scottish teams. Maybe the turning point was Souness taking charge of Rangers as his strategy of bringing in foreigners soon spread to the rest of the division and it is that conveyor belt of third rate players who have maybe stunted the development of Scottish youngsters. I don't know, maybe it is because of social problems as Gordon Strachen mentioned only last year (I think).

Either way would it be good for Scottish football to fully intergrate into the English Football League?

Not feasable because of distance/cost reasons though there probably plenty of other reasons too. Torquay v Inverness C, not affordable. I don't think it will be too long before the lower divisions here are regionalised anyway, like they used to be.

[jimmy two times]

Has he called his Goalkeeper incompetent as well Jah?

[matthew123]

Declan I was thinking introduction of regional divisions at 4th tier - e.g. South England & Wales, North England & Scotland - with automatic promotion for Champions then play off between runners-up to who goes into what is now League 1.

I was out on my bike when United played and it seems I made the right decision. Even Fergie admitted we were too poor. Must have been bad. Arsenal for second place I reckon. We keep chucking away too many points and need to score more goals against these sorts of teams.

[jimmy two times]

Fair play to Fergie. He came right out and gave credit to Everton and said they were the better team. More then old Vinegar face Lemon sucker Arsene Whinger would ever do.

[Narnia]

Actually United played well up until Everton equalised which admittedly was shortly after we scored. After that it could have gone either way but Rooney was not on top form and Berbie was as lazy as usual.Those who argued my point that Rooney's touch is not great should watch this game closely. He blew it on two occasions when it mattered. Great player but not all things to all men.

[jimmy two times]

Oh come on !...even the best players in the world have off days. You're being far too harsh on him for chrissakes.

[matthew123]

Something not right with Rooney today - maybe the usual fire in his belly was extinguished by Moyes calling for fans to finally forgive him after he walked out on his boyhood Club. I was impressed with Everton's football today, I actually enjoyed their performance (putting aside the fact they actually won). They have a lot of youngsters with PL experience at Everton - the lad who scored the final goal was rejected by Liverpool when he was 6 years-old (during Roy Evans era)!

[kpc]

Matt - good points. Only saw the second half but Rooney is having to do too much and I suspect he gets frustrtated with his team mates (as in midweek). Everton are in good form at present and playing decent football - seemingly this coincides with the arrival of Landon Donovan who has fitted into the team nicely.

And everyone says I'm biased. Better to have Le Boss who has actually won things and not sent teams in to financial meltdown like Del Boy Churchill nodding dog Redknapp. Just in case I've missed the point, we won yesterday so why would Le Boss say how wonderful Sunderland were when they weren't. Or this just you having a side swipe because Tottering Hotspuds aren't worty talking about? 4th spot eh? Please don't make me smile. 50 years next year and counting, I suggest Spuds look after their own back yard before aspiring to reach the level of the Arsenal.

hello mate, where have you been hiding?

Indeed!!! B)

[jimmy two times]

I was nearly right to be fair. Milan started brilliantly and Seedorfs did score and I also tipped Ronaldinho to do well in another post. Give me some credit. One day you may even gain the 'sage' status. Your''re a bit more like sage and onion at the moment mate as your posts always make me cry.......with laughter.

Let's be honest you need a good sense of humour to follow Spuds, especially with Del Boy at the helm. I love it when people claim my posts make them smile, proves I've got under your skin and hit a nerve. 1961 and counting.

Lets be fair, most Spuds fans are extremely confused! Bless. Keep taking the medication.

[jimmy two times]

Good point. Your mob have certainly had to take their medicine recently as well. Is that 4 defeats in 6? Old Vinegar face looks like he needs to pop a few prozac. Did you see him on the touchline against Porto? He should be sectioned.

You're frothing at the mouth Jimmy boy. Mind your blood pressure. It must be hard for you and your fellow supporters to watch us better you in verything for years on end with no end to bettereing us at anything in sight. Keep the faith with noding dog Churchill and I'm sure you'll suffer the same financial fate as Southampton, Pompey, and West Ham. Notice a pattern forming? Wouldn't it be awful if Del boy made it 4 out of 4? 49 years and running.

[jimmy two times]

We've certainly got a better keeper. Did you see that numbskull notsofab-ianski. My god where did Vinegar face dig him up from? You gotta laugh though aint you mate else you'll cry. Well...we all had a laugh at his performance anyway. Great entertainment. Good to see old Sol with his head in his hands as well. Suprised he didn't jump on the first ferry to Belgium again.

You gotta laugh aint you Atila.

[Bluerevolution]

another draw, dirty play by Liverpool and awful refereeing decisions.

...and an unambitious City as well
