World Cup ... (btw does anyone know dates when this nonsense is on so we can arrange to be away?)
My prediction - exactly as it has been in every other competition over the last 50 years -
1. England lose first group match and the press howls for blood.
2. England just about scrape creditable result in second game, and everyone crosses their fingers.
3. England lose abysmally in final game. Go home. |

If Redknapp bought Portsmouth's best players at knockdown prices then I have to assume that Portsmouth sold them at knock down prices, which puts at least half the blame on the club itself. Welcome to the reality of modern professional football where managers switch clubs with great frequency. I believe Curbishly and Big Sam both quit "take a break" and fell into other management jobs almost immediately. Portsmouth need to accept the fact that they are being relegated because haven't played well enough this season. Their financial difficulties are more to do with post Redknapp mismanagement at various levels. |

Ask any Portsmouth fans what they think of Harry Redknapp and they will tell you in no uncertain terms. Since leaving Pompey he as taken all of their best players at knockdown prices and thus helped to put them in a state of bankruptcy. Every club he has been at before is now in grave financial problems Bournemouth, West Ham, Southampton, and now Portsmouth.
He left Portsmouth a few years ago claiming he was going to retire, then a few weeks later he pitched up at arch rivals Southampton with a "sudden" change of heart. When he returned to Portsmouth he overspent buying players that Portsmouth couldn't really afford like Defoe, Crouch, Sol Campbell, and David James. This has left them in the financial turmoil that they now find themselves in. god help spurs in the next few years. |

And it would prove that an English manager can still do the business. |
