Pompey (a) match thread

[el matador]

When did Gerrard confide in you and tell you this?

look at his body language - he's not interested. Rafa can say that he still has the support of the players but the players are behaving otherwise.

[Norbs]

is babel on the bench?? bring him on for kuyt
ffs

I bet the next sub is Aurelio on for Kuyt

[sinbad]

i want to punch the **** out of kuyt.

i want that 5th doughnut, no ****ing chance.

I've reached the point where just seeing him on the pitch makes me sick.

[RoadEnd]

Subs: Cavalieri, Aurelio, Benayoun, Babel, Ngog, Spearing, Skrtel.

Next sub would be Torres off - only obvious solution we are desperate for a goal so no doubt he'll go off!

[RoadEnd]

Cavalieri on for Torres

[Exiled_red]

Agreed, but Kuyt is Rafa's blind spot

I'd drop him at the moment, we don't have the players to allow him to play far enough up the pitch to have an impact on games

[Leyton388]

Subs: Cavalieri, Aurelio, Benayoun, Babel, Ngog, Spearing, Skrtel.

Bet he brings Skrtel on

[Norbs]

Ben Haim's going to go for a lunge on Torres, within 5 mins I reckon

[little dave hedgehog]

i think it's entirely possible that steven gerrard actually believes with every fibre of his being that he must be somewhere else.

[Exiled_red]

Interestingly this is the same ref we had at Fulham when Carra and Degen were sent off

[pondus]

Well, I guess this is what happens when you have a retarded referee with an IQ of 21. Hope he breaks both legs on the way home so he can never enter a pitch again.

[Darkon]

Subs: Cavalieri, Aurelio, Benayoun, Babel, Ngog, Spearing, Skrtel.

God our depth is depressing!

Benny - should have started, and N'gog is decent but the rest

[Norbs]

How the **** did they keep that out! Not our day, week, month or year
