Feel sorry for you. Portsmouth is a team that has been seriously mismanaged over the years. Fanatic supporters and should be playing at a higher level.

What's funny is that Portsmouth is a bit like the Cowboys at the moment.

You know? As overrated as he is, he would make a brilliant coach for the USMNT. At worst, he'd fit right in.
Looks like timing might be perfect.
And the guy could do something with a parked bus in US.
US has traditionally been it's best playing defense and minding net then hoping for set piece or counter goals.

It sucks to watch but it is what has worked best.
And Jose at least would have all the contacts in Europe for player development.

Yes, that is true.

Another Blue day.
I truly love Sarriball.
Kepa has been surprisingly good.
Team has a few soft spots that will make it tough to win the league but January could provide relief and we will see if UCL action weakens MC/LP.

IMHO the top 3 in EPL are all playing a similar style and are a notch above everyone else.

Chelsea has looked magnificent with him. Though, he sounds like he wants to go to Real Madrid (https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/45791623). I hope that he waits until the end of the season for you lot, because you lot look fantastic this season.

There is talk of Conte going to RM, if that happens Hazard will never go.
But yea we have been sweating Hazard to RM for 3 years. Only Conte's suffer ball took enough shine off Hazard to keep him in London.
You can't replace that type of player so they'll only sell him if absolutely forced to.

Oh, I agree, and that's why I hope that he stays with you lot (though, it makes the chances of my Cherries reaching the top 4 much more difficult, but then our stadium's probably too small for the UEFA League).

Sadly, this weekends Football has been overshadowed by the tragic helicopter crash following Leicester's game with West Ham, which killed Leicester Owner Vichai Srivaddanaprabha, along with 2 of His Aides and the Pilot and Co-Pilot.
Leicester fans are mourning their much loved Owner, whose financial backing helped their team win the most improbable League title of all time in the 2015-1016 Season, following a season where they were almost relegated, they started their Title winning season as 5,000 to 1 Title outsiders and relegation favourites with Bookmakers.

Yes, that was a tragic situation. My thoughts and prayers go out to the friends and family of Srivaddanaprabha, and his team. They must be absolutely devastating for the entire Leicester community.

Arsenal lucky to get a point today. If it wasn't for Leno, they would have lost 3-1 at the least. He was excellent today. But the team was poor in the first half. Still, unbeaten in 16 straight games.
