I think it's you that needs to give it a rest. Either that or go look in the dictionary at the definition of irony.

It would BE ironic wouldn't it? He was useless here yet could have been part of a team that sent us down.

Wasn't it obvious what I meant?

The only team that can send Blackburn Rovers down is Blackburn Rovers, we are still in a good postion and I think have the squad to pull us out of finishing in the bottom 3.

Ok...this is what I know...but what happens next is yet to be confirmed.

Brian Kidd is due to join Portsmouth as assistant to Paul Hart.

However the Rubber Dinghy Man is also going as an advance guard for Sven, a mate of his from England days.

But Sven is yet to be convinced that Pompey is right for him - he has been offered a deal but is still haggling.

We'll help Sven decide by destroying his Mexico side. The problem isn't that he is capping every Argentine and Brazilian (even the decidedly mediocre ones) that has done their five years in Mexico (and every American citizen who is eligible to play for Mexico), but that he had trouble getting out of a four team group with Jamaica and Canada in it. Rumor has it that a loss in this one against the USA will send him packing. Now just imagine if he had found a way to call up the likes of Saha and Malbranque to the England squad back in the day. That would have been taken quite well.

Personally I still don't mind Sven, I think he's better than Pompey and should bide his time.

Nice chap. But from what I've seen he's tactically inept.

Now just imagine if he had found a way to call up the likes of Saha and Malbranque to the England squad back in the day. That would have been taken quite well.

He could have used Cudicini and Di Canio. We have seen all this before of course with Wales and Eire.

There was an article recently from David Davies that while in charge of England Sven wanted to call up Carlo Cudicini, Edu, Steed Malbranque and Louis Saha once they had done 5 years in England. Saha and Edu were then capped by their own countries however.

Certainly would have been an interesting looking England team if Sven had got his way, I'm glad he didn't, that's not how I think the national team should be picked.

Edit: Here is the article by the way, http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11095_4217935,00.html

We might have won something in with Di Canio on the left. Even more so if Giggs had not been persuaded to play for Wales by his Dad and the old RFW.

Didn't Giggs play for england till 16 thern changed to Wales because he had no right to play for england. Wasn't he born in wales to welsh parents with a grandfather from S. Leon.

I know he changed his name to his mothers after his father left them.

I think he only played for England at Schoolboy level because he went to school in England.

Portsmouth will be naming a new number two in the morning.

This guy is going to work with Paul Hart...and then probably the new guy when he is clear.

I'll be accused of all sorts if I say who the 'new guy' is likely to be - so I will leave it just now.

The number two will keep you amused when you find out.

I will post that on here about 10-ish.

Tony Parkes?????

Phil Parkes???? :rolleyes:

Talksport claimed earlier tonight it was Brian Kidd and a bloke from Corals said there'd been a huge punt on Roy Keane in from 66/1 to sixes today. The bloke from Corals thought this might be significant because Kidd has apparently been an assistant to Keane in the past? Wasn't aware of that but there you go.

Elsewhere it was also said tonight poor old Joe Kinnear will have to undergo heart bypass surgery leaving Chris Hughton in temporary charge.

I would have thought he meant he was assistant manager at Man Utd when Keane was there.

Appiha no luck with spuds, now Le arse to take a dip.

We really could do with this fellow rite now, 60k or not, he would give us that much needed MF who can operate box to box at Prem level.

I wonder how easy it would be to structure some kind of deal with Appiah, he must be getting desperate for a club by now.

I wonder if we could say something like...we'll give you £20,000 a week, but if we stay up we'll give you an extra £40,000 for every league game you played in. Could we do that? Would he accept it?

I just don't think we could pay £60k a week and get relegated, it's too big a risk.
