[Archived] Portsmouth V Rovers 0-1

[James No. 7]

My prediction: 1 - 0 to Rovers, with MGP scoring the winner.

[waggy]

up pompey 1 v 1 rovers

[andyrovers]

I'll go for a draw. Dickov to score. Anything else will be a"Brucie Bonus".

Just about to set off for Pompey, hope it doesnt rain !!

you walking?

I'll go for a draw, 0-0.

[Ozz]

Maybe this will keep his mind off scoring a hatrick this afternoon.

Or maybe not.

[philipl]

Unfortunately he probably wants to go out on a high and add a chunk onto the transfer fee boosting his cut.

Macabi Tel Aviv get 50%!!! of the sell-on fee and have a written requirement that the player HAS to be sold if an offer of more than £6m is received.

[Eddie]

He's good...but worth that much? I'm not sure. I was surprised to see how good his stats were though.

Rovers 3-1

If thats the case, and that information is freely available, then why are Newcastle offering £10M?

Oh yea, I forgot-Souness is in charge.

Never knowingly underpaid.

Team:

Friedel

Nelson - Mokoena - Todd - Nisse

Emerton - Thompson - Tugay - MGP

Dickov - Gallagher

Subs: enckelmann, reid, jansen, stead, gray

[Ozz]

That team basically starts big and gets smaller and smaller till you get to Dicky.

MGP starts, Tugay back-could get torn a part here...

[Manchester Blue]

a part of what?

[Ozz]

Sorry, MB I meant Tony Parkes here.

[RoyRover]

It is good to see Nelsen and Mokoena making their debuts. However I would have pushed for Mokoena starting in the midfield with Thompson, keeping Nissa in the centre and bringing Gray in at left back. Hughes is obviously prepared to give Pedersen his chance in the team, which is good to see. It is nice to see Jansen back on the bench as well as Gray. Come on Rovers!

[Duffers]

Anywhere to view the game on the web?

[Rovermatt]

Shearer just got his 400th goal. What a legend.

[Blackpool_Rover]

Sounds like a good game..

[sleepyjack]

Andy Todd is captain today.

MGP on the touchline "trying to change his underwear" according to Roversworld. Nervous?

[modes98]

good old andy d'urso being shocking again. 4 players booked for rovers, could have sent off amdy faye!

[Maverick]

Three yellow cards allready. Doesn't sound good for the second half.

Have to change it to four.

[James No. 7]

Four yellow cards so far, and three of them are defenders: Johansson, Mokoena, Nelsen, and Emerton.

[yellowsubmarine]

Surprisingly Dickov is not one of them. Todd's the only defender not to get yellow card. Kudos to him for keeping a cool head.

[tchocky]

Dickov sounds unusually quiet today. Mokoena's yellow can be blamed squarely on Thommo: free kick in a good position and the whole team sent up he attempts a short pass to Tugay which is nowhere near reaching him, resulting in a counter which Moko has to stop.
