The General Football Thread

Quite interesting to listen to the response to Portsmouth's shocking result at Rotherham on Readio Solent. I thought that the previous performance against Sunderland had rather let the Cowley brothers off the hook. The fans do not appear to be happy and the media are suggesting that the team is something of a pushover. I think a play off position is looking unlikely.

It is somewhat ironic that the fans took exception to Kenny Jackett who now appears to have done a good job. The Cowleys initially looked like an interesting appointment but I think the fans are not impressed.

 

Thank you for posting Ian. I suspect you might well have a more balanced and rational view than those PFC supporters calling for the Cowleys dismissal. For this season I have almost lost interest in Pompey, and there are better teams in the área more deserving of my support.

One match stadium ban for England for issues at Euro 2020 final.

 

Ides has been turned!

 

But which way?

 

Sorry, couldn’t resist!

 

Pompeyare getting a good ploughing over. 4-0 at the moment and I feel most of their fans will see the "funny" side of this.

 

Bournemouth exploding the myth that Stoke was not a place for Tuesday night football. Well done the Cherries!!!

 

Bournemouth are absolutely flying under Parker. Played 13 won 9 and drawn 4. 6 points clear at the top of the league. I said when they appointed Woodgate that was a big mistake. They needed a good manager and that's what they've got now. Can't see them being stopped.

 

Fulham and West Brom will be up there as well. But, yes I hope Bournemouth keep going in pursuit of renewing the West Solent/New Forest derby in the PL.

 

Congratulations to Eastleigh getting through to the 1st round proper of the FA Cup.
2-3 AET.

Away to Boreham Wood

 

Would be a dream for them to get through to Round 3 and a tie at ST Mary's!!

 

Man United 0-2 Atalanta. Still, things can only get better for United with Liverpool on Sunday....

 

Its simply isn't working at ManU. Ive thought for a long time that Ole isn't a manager of any note. They've got an ensemble of superstars but they are far too impressed with themselves when they step onto the pitch. They arent motivated to work. There is no engine in the shiny, flash chasis. Pogba at his worst is the epitome of this.

 

5-0 to Liverpool.on Sunday will do!

 

Anything Eastleigh do, can be matched by Havant &Waterlooville. Well done to both teams on making it to the first round of the FA Cup

 

The jinx

 

Notice I didn't jinx us on Saturday.

 

Lukaku and Werner both went off injured tonight 6 days before we play Chelsea in the Carabao Cup.
