We need to sign Dean Windass to give Robinson some competition!

1-0 to Pompey Nugent

[RibbleValleyRover]

Bloody Liverpool putting out a crap side!

[Presty On Tour]

Babbel missed a open goal with a miss kick a few minutes before Pompey scored!

[Tom]

We seem to be the only team in the league who isn't picking up unexpected wins.

[sambo]

Rovers slipping closer to the drop.

Liverpool have no chance of winning the league, that side is p1ss poor.

[Tom]

I still see Pompey being stuck in the mire come the end of the season, the manager is way out of his depth.

1 - 1 now

[tony gale's mic]

Oh dear, Pompey are in the lead now...

[sambo]

Plymouth etc next year

Really can't be bothered going to Burnley either, although they could come up.

[brfcshabba]

Kuyt 2-2

Torres 3-2

[DE.]

And Pompey screw it up again

[Tom]

Now that looks like relegation form if it stays 3-2

[modes98]

Love it! Thanks Liverpool!

[Presty On Tour]

Brilliant header from Torres!

Can someone tell me why Ryan Babel was such a highly rated player?

My brain starts to hurt when I compare his lofty reputation in Holland to the so so winger who trips around for Liverpool.

Ditto Maceo Rigters.

Not sure if this or the finance thread is the right spot, but I went on the Spuds site to see if tickets were available for the derby today. Surprisingly, there were, but at the cheapest price of 47 pounds for the back corner, I can see why people aren't rushing to pay that (myself included).

Ditto Maceo Rigters.

Reputation wise Rigters doesn't even touch the sides of the esteem Babel was held in.

I too find it extremely puzzling. Kuyt is similar - well thought of before signing for Liverpool, complete @#/? afterwards. Maybe it's a Dutch league thing. Or a Rafa Benitez thing.

He really was crap....

I rate Kuyt, but am 100% with you on Babel. He is awful. He doesn't have the necessary b@lls to play top level football.

[rover6]

Kuyt is loved by Martin Jol, too. I think Kuyt could be a decent player if placed regularly in the centre forward position - he's no right winger.

Babel just bemuses me. But perhaps, he's just suffering from seriously dented confidence as a result of barely playing any football. His former coach slammed him for moving to Liverpool, saying that he wouldn't develop sitting on the bench - how right he was.

As for Maceo - is he still at Barnsley? What a terrible signing (for us and Barnsley).

[Guest Kamy100]

Arsenal down to 10 men, can now see Spuds going onto win this one.

Kezman and Afonso Alves did/are doing exactly the same thing as well, so maybe it's a Dutch league thing.

and, cough, Johann Vogel, Dutch League player of the Year.

and, cough, Johann Vogel, Dutch League player of the Year.

He did however, play an important part in the Dutch leagues best side (PSV with van Bommel, Cocu, Alex, Park e.t.c) since the Ajax generation with Ibrahimovic, van der Vaart, Pineaar, Heitinga and Sneijder. That particual PSV side were one disallowed goal (wrongfully, if memory serves me) from knocking out Milan in the CL semi-finals the year Liverpool won the final after being 3-0 down.
