Pompey Build-up

[Baracus]

is this game away? if so same line up as wigan. I can't see torres or glen being risked in the cold (tight hamstring and groins) and at fratton park

[dave edwards]

I only live 15 miles from Fratton Park and we had a few inches of snow overnight the temperature here is 1 degree and with another 4-6 inches due later today and overnight it looks like it will settle, knowing how **** that pitch and ground is i doubt the game will go ahead....especially if they still don't have the underground heating.

Bloody sods law, brother-in-law has got us 2 top notch corparates for this! Fukkity **** ****!

[johnly]

really?

the same team that narrowly lost AWAY to chelsea?

I think we should win but I expect it to be very scrappy and hopefully we'll nick a one nil.

I'm a confident man Bob, well maybe deluded at the moment, but still we should be doing this mob over. I think we'll take the 3 points without too much trouble. We can't keep being ultra ****e

Aquilani is apparantly out with a calf injury today, how is the weather? Will the game go through?

well that sucks.

although i understand that torres and johnson are likely to start.

I guess players who have been out of action for so long are more likely to pick up muscular injuries, maybe he would have been a risk anyway in these conditions. Great to see Johnson and Torres back though.

Heard anything about postphonement?

I see your username has come in very handy , so it looks like we are waiting on you
As for Aquilani being injured it's Rafas fault for rushing him back:bird:

Despite what the weather forecast said there has been no more snow overnight down here but the temperature is minus 2, hopefully they at least thought to cover the pitch last night!

Pitch Perfect For Liverpool Clash Snow may disrupt many people’s weekends, but Pompey and Liverpool fans can rest assured.

The groundsmen at Fratton Park, led by Bob Jones, were well prepared for the freezing temperatures – and snowy conditions.

Frost covers were laid over the turf on Wednesday afternoon, once the pitch had been marked, and then the water-proof covers that make up the inflatable dome were added in the evening.

The snow was swept from the upper covers this morning and, with temperatures of over minus 4°C being predicted overnight tonight, heaters are due to be turned on and the dome inflated later today to protect the pitch ahead of the big match against Liverpool on Saturday.

Lucius Peart, head of operations, said: “The pitch is in perfect condition for our match on Saturday.

“We took all the necessary precautions earlier this week and we will now be keeping the pitch warm and ready for the game"

yes.

apparently, it is cold and snowy in portsmouth, and their pitch isn't heated, so several people that i know believe it won't be played.

Should I have said, "heard something new"? Looks like it's on though so I have to start dealing with the missus.
