It has been less than two years since Pompey were placed into administration whilst still cutting their teeth in money fairground that is the Barclay’s Premiership, the point deduction that followed was the final [...]

Norwich are going up

A 1-0 win over Portsmouth was enough to ensure Norwich City will be playing Premier League football next season. Paul Lambert’s men knew a win at Fratton Park would be enough to secure back-to-back promotions for the Canaries. Simeon Jackson’s header just after half-time proved the winner to send the travelling Norwich fans wild. The [...]

Is David James the man to join Manchester City in emergency loan deal?

Before I begin, this really hasn’t been mooted anywhere but now that Manchester City have written to the FA asking for permission to bring in a keeper on an emergency loan deal, I really think this could happen.

Could Sunderland be joining Portsmouth in the Championship next season?

Before I get on to Sunderland, I think we can all agree that Portsmouth will not be playing Premier League football next season following tonight’s 2-1 defeat to Stoke. Anyway, Sunderland. Steve Bruce’s men fell to their 12th defeat of the season this afternoon at the hands of Arsenal. The North-East club are now just [...]

A Flutter for the Weekend – Wayne Rooney Hat-Trick 12/1

Manchester United face Portsmouth tomorrow in what is likely to be a one-sided affair (quite the understatement, I know). Sir Alex Ferguson’s men are bang in form at the moment and many, including myself feel Manchester United are an absoloute cert for tomorrow’s game. I may even put down a nice wager. With my winnings [...]
