Yeah, Italy's under 21s!!!!I think its such a risky move.

all i can say is that tottenham better get a win at home against wigan tomorrow or else we are in trouble!!!! our season has started off worse than last year by a mile.... im getting leeds flashbacks and it scares me!

well another lousy draw for liverpool against a team they should thrash. same old shit.

Has anyone seen this?

It's rather tragic but there are some moments of comedy during his rambling such as:

'so my dad asked Pope John Paul if he'll sub him some money'.

'and then Dustin Hoffman calls me a mad fooker - and I've only just met the fooker'.

'I’ve got a New York Police Department’s badge and fucking card. And I walk around New York as if I'm in the New York Police Department'

'and then Clooney rings and says he's down The Cow and wants a game of darts'.

'I won a game of pool using a hairbrush'.

They should give him the Newcastle job.

No, no, no, Newcastle have something much worse than that up their sleeves...

You blundered there (uh uh uh), and it pissed off new 'Castle manager Joe Kinnear so much his vocabulary shrank to one word starting with f...

get the fuck out and bring your money hungry yes men (i include juande in that group) with you before you destroy the club. you fucking bastards!!!!!!

seriously, i am getting real; concerned about the state of spurs at the moment.. i can not see how this situation can or will improve......... this is looking so bad at the moment..
fuck uefa cup if we cant even compete in the premiership!!!!!

i an now aprechensive about playing stoke away!!!

4th in the premiership???? my ass!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

its almost getting funny...... beaten by stoke, bale and dawson sent off.. ythe club is dying on its feet and levy and co dont seem to give a shit... its sad!

Liverpool are doing well, equal first with Chelsea.

yeah, last season games like saturday's they'd have drawn, but this year things seem to be going in for them. Could be their year?

Probably not. I remember the 02/03 season, unbeaten after 12 games (the reason why I began supporting them), ended up coming 5th.

Bye Bey Juande

Hello Harry Redknapp...

Paulybee - so what you do the chances are of Redknapp turning things around? He's certainly done good things for Pompey - can he do the same again for you guy?

Smacks of desperation to me. Getting rid of ramos, poyet et al is going to cost millions in compo, and they've had to pay Pompey £5million to buy redknapp out of his contract.

For what?

Rednapp's reputation is built on his ability to help clubs to avoid relegation.

If that's what Sp*rs are willing to settle for then that's fine by me.

At least it'll give Tony Adams a chance to get a bit of managerial experience, and thank god that Harry didn't take him with him.
That would have been a kick in the teeth.

Looking forward to my trip to Emirates on Wednesday. :D

no, wrong choice...

short term option and harry has said that he will walk id spurs dont sort it out!!!

its a bad call, its a panic call..
harry has jumped into a badly damaged vessel and i hope he can get the steering working a bit better... thats all he can do, he shouldnt be expected to do much more...

and the funny thing is...daniel levy still has is comfortable job!!!!!!

worrying times indeed!!!

You having a re-think yet, Pauly?

Cracking goal by Bentley last night. It must have brought back memories for the Arsenal fans of the good old days with David Seaman between the posts :p

Liverpool are top of the Premier League!

I'm assuming that people haven't simply stopped watching football here, so was wondering what people's thoughts were on the season so far.

Spurs looking like they might just be strong enough to avoid the drop. But only just.
Post-Redknapp Pompey in meltdown
Attractive football back at Upton Park.
Liverpool staying in title contention despite Rafa clearly being a nutcase.
Newcastle ... fuck me!
Man City dealing with having more money than sense.
Arsenal dropping points left and right.
Hull, fucking Hull!
Chelsea being horrible, inconsistent and still doing their best at pretending they're a big club.
Villa totally flattering to deceive.
Man U. Pfft

Title prediction: MU
Relegation Prediction: WBA, Middlesborough; Portsmouth

Views? concerns?

My main thought is that, much as I hate Man U, I'm delighted that they've hit their usual post-Christmas good form, simply because I would hate to see Liverpool win the league.

Chelsea are going to sit around in second place for the rest of the season (so long as they don't lose to Liverpool this afternoon), but will drop points every time that Man U drop them, so will have be content with being runners-up again. Scolari has been a total waste of time, he seems to have no idea of how to get the best uot of players, and no idea on how to make eleven men play as a team. How he acheived so much pre-Chelsea baffles me.

I think with Scolari it's a difference between club and international football. As much as i can't stand Chelsea they should've done everything to keep Mourinhio. I can't see Abramovich sticking with big Phil for that long but equally, I can't think of another manager out there to replace him who's good enough to compete against Ferguson. The only realistic option as I see it is them waiting for Capello, but I wonder if he'd be happy working under Roman. Martin O'Neil might be a decent bet, but again, Abramovich just strikes me as having far too much power at Chelsea, to the extent that a lot of top draw managers simply wouldn't go there.
