[Archived] Portsmouth V. Blackburn

[Russ]

Johnson has him in his pocket

Don't really know how you can say that, gamst has won almost every important header between those two. Having one of his better games in while.

You should know by now. Gamst could go out and score a hat trick and everyone would still find something to rail against him about saying it's just more of the same pitiful performances.

If David James had started in goal Portsmouth would have acheived a Premiership first.

Maybe a English first.

Anyone know what the "first" is while this dull affair goes on at Fratton?

I believe it was already said earlier in the thread. An all black starting 11?

ashdown doing a brad friedel to prevent nelsen his first goal.

He would have become the first goalkeeper to actually fall asleep during a game

[Mc Love]

I thought it was appearances?? Anyway, unlucky nelsen

[Exiled_Rover]

All the wrong reasons. Glaringly obvious that they just aren't good enough.

I don't mind Emerton in central midfield in this formation as he gives us a little pace.

Campbell should be off.

[Russ]

Says something when Nelsen is a more effective striker, with more attempts on target than Roberts.

Then he gets clean thru and gos down like a feather weight - so much for being big and strong that i keep hearing people bleat on about

[Rovers in America]

That's 2 chances for yellow cards against Pompey now that didn't even get called as fouls.

Missed that, but you are right.

[Rovers in America]

Missed that, but you are right.

Well it wasn't presented as a premiership first, just a fun fact of the day.

[AggyBlue]

Wow, much better this half. They must have been on the Red Bull at half time.

Game on.

Totally agree with you about emerton. Think he is doing well. Very versatile.

Anyone else agree?

I have always liked Emerton as a player, plenty of energy right thru to 90 mins.

Time stick derbs on for roberts now, fresh legs to run at them a bit.

[T4E]

When was the last time Sky showed a game without feeling the need to mention the "Top 4"?

How the (Please don't use that word again) are they relevant to this? Give it a ###### rest, they've ruined the game for the rest of us in every other conceivable way, atleast allow us a brief escape while we're watching our own team play.

[rovers1993]

SANTA CRUZZZ!!!! WOOHOO!!!!

[Russ]

They're targetting Reid everytime at right-back as they know he's not a natural defender, and they're having a lot of success with it too.

Need to put Emerton back in there.

Good lad Santa.. Wooooooooohoooooooo

[Rovers in America]

Santa Cruz is coming to town!

[HertsRover]

Great finish by RSC and a nice lay off from the man who can trap a ball further than most can kick it.

We need to hold onto this!

[RovertheHill]

Roque, Roque, Roque Super link play by Roberts

T4E is absolutley right - shut up about the big 4. They even showed the Manu Chelsea goals at half-time FFS

[Presty On Tour]

rocky!!!!

[AggyBlue]

nice lay off from the man who can trap a ball further than most can kick it.

Wasn't he trying to trap it?

[HertsRover]

Wasn't he trying to trap it?

Quite possibly . Just wish he wouldnt be so inconsistant.

A simple 2 yard pass, not a moment of magic, while well executed only what you'd expect a footballer at this level to do.

I still don't rate him and find him incredibly frustrating to watch.

Decent shot there from him tho... I'm going to keep criticising him - it seems to be helping his game!!
