watching on the box? is it on then?
WalshWasGod
you know what i mean 'on the box' as in 'online' perhaps...
pompeyrug
belhadj into a central midfield role today in a 3-5-2, which could switch to 4-4-2 easily!
pompeyrug
Hello fellas .. I'm here... so what is it 3-5-2 with Belhadj in the middle. I didn't know he could play in the middle - So who is on the right ?
Chix
oh dear .. 1-0 down .. Robinho and Jo combine.. money eh !
Chix
ah well we will just have to come back from 1-0 down to win 3-1!
pompeyrug
Sounds like Kaboul is having a mere !
Chix
yep, it does...
pompeyrug
Change to a flat back four NOW harry before we get mullered !!
Chix
ah well, we will have to win 3-2 then... of all people to score it would have to be dunne! why are we so poor at citeh?
pompeyrug
Afternoon fellas. The Quay commentators are being none too complimentary at the moment. Belhadj in the middle, wasted surely.
pompey4me
you would think he is wasted - im not sure if this is a role he can play, if not then we would have been better off resting traore and putting in diop wouldnt we?
pompeyrug
or mvuemba even... kaboul is having a mare isnt he!
pompeyrug
Ohhhh Crouch.
pompey4me
bugger...
pompeyrug
citeh are a decent side but we are doing our part to make them look better arent we...
pompeyrug
Diop coming on....we'll be ok now then!! lol
pompey4me
shame for davis - always seems to happen when he gets back in...
pompeyrug
It sounds like it's going from bad to worse .. half time can't come soon enough surely.. we NEED to close them down and with 5 in the middle we SHOULD be able to do it
Chix
Diop, goes down far too easy. For a big man he sure is soft as *£"&!!!
pompey4me
Just sounds like they are going through us at will. Come on boys, have some pride.
pompey4me
diop is like heskey - for big men the pair go down far too easily, why is this?
pompeyrug
come on pompey!
pompeyrug
Sound sa bit better, off the line Campbell nearly in.
pompey4me
so close...
pompeyrug
a goal before the break, or early in the 2nd half and 'if' we defend better we can still get something.
pompeyrug
Sounds better, got Wisey sounding excited.
pompey4me
diarra, diarra... if only he had scored...
pompeyrug
if wisey is excited then things are good! come on pompey, we have shown we can get back into this...
pompeyrug
OK then, lets see what they are made of after that bad first half. need 'Arry to do something at half time.
pompey4me
mvuemba on for kaboul for me and move him onto the right, utaka will 'maybe' offer something attacking wise but not enough defensively, mvuemba has a creative quality and can help the defence, so i reckon go to 4-4-2 and bring on mvuemba for kaboul - we then put belhadj back to left back and troare in front of him...
pompeyrug
We need to do something !... anything !
Chix
Here we go COMKE ON POMPEY - Utaka for Kaboul - 442 ?
Chix
We've done something, Utaka on. I'll say no more just yet.
pompey4me
well i got the kaboul bit right anyway...
pompeyrug
quiet on here today isnt it?
pompeyrug
good stuff from utaka - more of the same please.
pompeyrug
Sounds like he just beat someone well, come on John, keep doing it again and again.
pompey4me
3-0 It's just too easy for them
pompey4me
thats it - goodnight!
pompeyrug
UEFA cup hangover? The boys just dont seem to be concentrating.
pompey4me
Oh well ..just as I thought we were getting back into it.
Chix
At least we are still above Man Utd.
Chix
citeh were in the same boat tho werent they - and they played away... we have just not been at it today, but we never are at citeh...
pompeyrug
Yep, annoys me when the effort is missing from the players, and that is how it sounds on the radio.
pompey4me
we do not let in alot of goals, but as carpet said the other day when we do we usually let in a few at a time...
pompeyrug
maybe were going back to the 'normal' scenario this season, good at home poor away?
pompeyrug
******** hell...
pompeyrug
3-0 ABSOULTLEY **** i no we played 3 games in a week but to get stuffed 3-0 is shocking if sounds just the way we played against chelsea. Mind u man city have brought the 3 points as they have the money 2 buy anything
stfc ballboy
Just nipped outside to say Hi to my old Nan, come back in and we 4 down, Not good enough, they need to have a long hard look at themselves after this game.
pompey4me
citeh only signed robinho since 'having the cash' so they have not bought this result have they... granted they have played well but we have been awful, we're making them look like superstars!
pompeyrug
Ok, bye all, off to watch the Ryder Cup now, see if we can come back from 2 points down there.
pompey4me
enjoy - i watched a couple of hours last night and will watch some tonight.
pompeyrug
******** awful - where has our defence gone today?
pompeyrug
forget the defence, where has our 'simple pass' football gone?
pompeyrug
5 !
Chix
Some things in life are bad
They can really make you mad
Chix
jesus christ! well i think that today has probably shown just why we cannot get into the top 4, that is forgetting just how hard it would be anyway...
pompeyrug
Other things just make you swear and curse.
Chix
dire.
pompeygrant01
When you're chewing on life's gristle
Don't grumble, give a whistle
And this'll help things turn out for the best...
Chix
If life seems jolly rotten
There's something you've forgotten
Chix
what that from - charlie and the chocolate factory?
pompeyrug
And that's to laugh and smile and dance and sing.
When you're feeling in the dumps
Don't be silly chumps
Just purse your lips and whistle - that's the thing.
Chix
always look on the bright side of life isnt it!
pompeyrug
And...always look on the bright side of life...
Always look on the light side of life...
Chix
6 omg Belhadj we wont sign you Hreidarsson is better LOL
Kranjcar19
Well at least we can all claim to have had SIX tonight !
Chix
always look in the bright side of life... 7-6, were gonna win 7-6!
pompeyrug
its not belhadji's fault - its everyones fault, you win as a team and lose as a team...
pompeyrug
Thank God I haven't got Jamo in my dream team !
Chix
thank god i havent got jamo, johnson and distin... hang on i have! at least johnson came off when it was 'only' 5-0 :-)
pompeyrug

paultsmouth
Hummmm. Off to work to get some stick from my colleagues who don't care for football but will take great joy in winding me up. Ahhh, then of course there are the scummers.... Fck 'em all. We'll bounce back, it's just one game & when we stuff the spuds next week we'll have forgotton most of this.
