D.Boon

I agree. Although he has had a tough week in terms of travel. The difference between him and Sissoko is as wide as between Torres and Crouch

That was the point of the post. We were lucky to get out of there with a point. Im not excusing the poor decisions by the gaffer or the s*** performances from Crouch, Sissoko, Benayoun and Pennant

At the start of the day yes 2 points lost. But seeing how badly we played i think we escaped with a point. I entirely agree it wasnt good enough by players and manager today

Was how i saw the game. Portsmouth had the chances to win by a couple of goals today. I was glad to hear the final whistle because that game looked liked it was just a matter of time till they scored. Very, very dissapointing performance today. Midfield of Sissoko and Alonso looked pedestrian and the difference between Crouch and Torres looks massive in terms of goal threat. We are still unbeaten though and cant play much worse than that again this season. And can someone tell Pepe to stop kicking the fecking ball straight back to their keeper....infuriating.

Crouch was poor today

He is Rashid isnt he?

As an aside at what point would Beckham stop making these long flights if he knew he was not 1st choice?

As Ramsay(?) said i pick the best team not the best players. It seems to have taken 10 years for England managers to (hopefully) realise the value in this. Can i just add that Rio Ferdinand is an over rated, full of himself a*** wipe?

Undeniably correct. I have Hargreaves ahead of Barry still only because i think against really good teams he is a better disruptor of play

Ive always rated Barry, surprised he stayed at Villa. He is a far superior footballer than Hargreaves yet Hargreaves is possibly a better holding midfielder. Either way Lampard stays on the bench untill Gerrard is injured or tired. McLaren must see this??

Never gonna happen

Crouch was on Hells Kitchen t'other night. He is clearly going off the rails and needs selling quick. Mascher is my favourite player at the moment. The kind of player that makes you watch other peoples reactions when they are watching him play and hope that they think he is as good as you do. Maybe im turning into a gayer.

Seems ludicrous doesn't it

Problem is after reading his biography its obvious Gerrard loves playing for England. If Gerrard says he is not ready to go that ends the story right there and then. The FA can then tell the press what the feck they like
