He could hardly be blamed for Beattie's first goal, for ****'s sake, the shot came through THREE Newcastle defenders. One of them should have closed it down. Absolutely terrible.

So true. The defence was shambolic yesterday.

Even more so than usual.

Yeah but it was a good turn from Svensson, and I think that if Given is as good as people say, then he would have either held the shot, or pushed it out away from the goalmouth. The defending was aweful, but I think Given could have done better. The only good save I can think of is at Givens near post when a Saint had a shot and it got deflected of Bramble(i think) and given got down and got his fist to it then Bernard cleared it. If Given reacted that quick to Svenssons shot, then Beattie would not have scored.

Blaney did mush better then I expected him too, for a debut keeper in the premierhsip you think he would get pissed on, but he made some good saves, especially from Shearers second half header.

Dazz you're having a laugh if you think Shay Given is overrated. I would not swap him for any goalkeeper in the world, for Ireland. I haven't seen a better shot-stopper or a better keeper in one-on-one situations. He's underrated, if anything, as players from countries like Ireland tend to be, if they don't play for Manchester United.

Yeah my statement came across like that, I didn't mean it to, I meant more based on yesterdays perfomance, it wasn't as good as you lot say, he made some bad kicks and was at fault for the first goal, he made a good save from the chance I mentioned in my last post, and Svenssons left footed curler in the second half, but he certainly did not even have a half decent game.

I think the buck lays with their defence,Caldwell and Bramble are relegation teams standard defence.How Svensson was allowed that much space to turn and get a shot in was puzzling so there's no way Given can be blamed for that.He couldn't do anything about the second and the third was unlucky from his point of view.If he was English he'd certainly be the number 1.

I think i would rather have Steven Taylor at the back for Newcastle than Caldwell right now.

Yeah I was trying to think of when a game was discussed so much, there are many views on the match, but I'm sure everyone agrees that it was one hell of any exciting game, rarely as a neutral do I care about games that much, but I got really into the game yesterday.

If a club meets the clause Barcelona can't refuse the bid. That's the whole point of buy out clauses.

They have a huge debt, and he's not worth £66 million. If anyone is stupid enough to pay it, Barcelona directors would probably be dancing in the streets.

Liverpool better beat the Toon this weekend I wanna see Villa in Europe again. I think we've got it in us to get a point off United so as long as Newcastle don't win we should be allright. Hopefullly qualifying will boost teh transfer kittty aswell cause 6 million ain't enough we've to buy too many players.
Mellburg's new 4 year deal is fantastic news our most reliable player by a mile.

He wanted to up his share holding to 30%, which would be a controlling stake, then he could launch a takeover and make some changes to the club.

I think the Thai Prime Minister wants to do the same, but leave the running of the club to the current board.

I'm not really sure how the shares thing works, but Morgan definitely wasn't bidding to buy the club outright.

Wouldn't be too worried about losing Harry. He's a shifty character, you can get a better coach who won't be so intent on signing loads of players and driving up the wage bill.

A West Ham supporter at Rajah says it's well known that Harry takes cuts on the transfers he does.

I dunno. When he took over we were down the bottom of div 1 and he won us the division the next season and kept us up this season.

To be fair, although the wage bill has gone up, we've saved a great deal on transfer fees.

I dunno. Its just sorta come out of the blue.

They're taking it in turns to phone up Sky Sports News and give interviews claiming this that and the other.

Its looking a lot worse for Bradford though.

Geoffry Richmond, Bradford's former chairman, is a toss pot. He ran them into the ground.

Leeds called him in earlier this season in some sort of consultancy role, the stupid dicks. Then when they realised he was a useless cunt, he tried to claim £2 million off them for doing nothing.

I just feel bad for their supporters. Not long ago they were a premiership club. Now they're on their way to div 2, their entire squad has been told to find new clubs and they've been chucked out of Valley Parade.

I really can't believe you said that.

It's be proven that Harry took a cut out of ONE transfer, the Rajah poster has blown it out of proportion, maybe he did take cuts out of more, but you cannot just assume that.

You get an extra £500,000 for every place in the league higher you finish, a lower wage bill would mean less quality, which means they would have been lower in the league, so that went along way towards paying for itself, as well as showing clear signs of the club progressing. It's all about gambles, and Harry's gambles have paid off, they are getting rid of Teddy and Sherwood, so that is reducing their wage bill, and I imagine that they are two of the top earners, which is clearly suprising as they are shit.

Fact is, if Milan has a problem with the wage bill, he should make Harry sort it out, not take matters into his own hands and fire Smith and another coach. Me not being a Pompey fan would argue that Smith hasn't done much this season or last, but Pompey fans (not just RBF) disagree, so clearly he does more then meets the eye. And Harry seems loyal to the guy, which is the only chance Smith has of staying, because of Harry's stance on this.

With all that being said, In My Opinion Milan isn't there to make enemies, he is over with the fans, and he is not going to let Smith go if it means Harry will take the walk to. Just my thoughts, but I think they will both stay.

If he goes, then bring back Terry VenablesAlan Ball.

Looks like Redknapp could well be gone,he's basically called Mandaric a liar and vice versa.

Good on Harry Redknapp! Tells it like it is. I respect that.
If Mandaric gets rid of him then he is a cockhead. Redknapp is the only reason as to why Portsmouth are still in the Premier League.
