This. We leave 2 at the back and one up front to close down, and he (I) basically stays up there unless the other team leave nobody back in which case it's necessary to track. That leaves one man who is the link between defence and attack, wouldn't call him a midfielder but I would say he has to block the oppositions play makers (there's always 1 or 2 who are clearly the better players and need shutting down) Having said that, we were 5-2 up with 3 minutes to go on Friday and drew 5-5

It's just the 3 best performers in a match, determinded by those points thingies, can' t remember their proper name, ACTIM? possibly

Get in, 2-2

Roeder's signing Martin Taylor pulls one back. Next Mourinho tbh

4-1, game over

Emre for Milner

Best reprimand ever

Martins on for Enrique

Didn't some people used to argue Pompey are like a stylish Bolton (Allardyce's Bolton) which if you think about it is like a hobo with a tie. They're so much more than that, unfortunately

I'd just play this inspirational speech by William Gallas "I told the guys we had to fight until the end and if we have to die we will die together. I think today we showed everybody we can die." Arsenal captain William Gallas after the 2-2 draw with Manchester United

Why do you keep bumping that?

Butt booked, that's a suspension

Clearly the loss of Lee Clark has ruined our preperation for this game, yet another thing to blame Roeder for

Yes I bet they're shitting themselves about playing us right now

Here comes Rozenhal, for Cacapa

Owen, 3-1

Oh my fucking god

Ah fuck off

Noe Pamarot, fuck sake

Anyone who knows this sort of thing, can you explain why: Diop got his 5th yellow for Pompey last Saturday in the 5:15 kick off, but his suspension won't kick in till their next game. Presumably this means a suspension starts exactly 7 days after the 5th yellow is collected. If Nicky Butt gets booked today, he'll miss the derby next Saturday, a 12.45 kick off. Why?

Replace the second Faye with N'Zogbia

Pompey: James, Johnson, Distin, Campbell, Pamarot, Diop, Davis, Kranckjar, Muntari, Utaka, Benjani

Doubt thats the case. That's what's being reported

Subs: Rozenhal, Emre, Geremi, Forster, Martins

It is. My mistake, sorry folks
