King!

He had one of th worst defensive performances I have ever witnessed against Reading

He played injured! and anyway 1 bad game doesnt make a bad season...most of the season hes played well and Tottenham always look vulnerable at the back without him!

He has had a bit of money though and has made some top-notch signings on loan and on frees.

allardyce has made just the one signing of note and yet is above pompey in the league

Fair enough mate, it can't be denied that he has had good backing from the money men.

But at the end of the day it is down to who and what you spend it on. In the Premiership we have seen many managers waste obsene omounts of money on wasted talents.

Bringing in Sol Campbell was a huge risk, he was seriously out of form and it looked like he had lost his way. Harry took a gamble on him and it has paid off.

The same can be said of David James, who many ridiculed as being a calamity. They don't do that anymore.

Don't get me wrong SAF and Allardyce have done brilliantly this season. But Harry's buys were top notch and he has got Pompey playing some good entertaining football.

Did you expect Portsmouth to be around the CL spots around Christmas?

He had a bit of a mare against us yesterday aswell.

The goals yesterday were'nt really down to him...

Dyers...what was Englands number two doing?
Martins...was a good goal
Parker....was a scramble

Even woody for me has been better than King this seson for me

@ cesc

I was one of the few that thought Pomey woud do well but even I couldn't predict that they'd be THIS good. I expected them to finish about 9th/10th

And Taylor.


King's a great player but he's had a dodgy season, i've heard he's been playing injured so maybe that's the problem. Dawson isn't good enough to cope without him.

So what players are guarenteed?

I'd say Jussi, Vidic, Ronaldo, Essien and Drogba.

The other 6 spots are all up for grabs.

---------------- Carson

Johnson --- Agger -- Campbell --- M Taylor

Hleb ----- Essien ---- Arteta --- MG Pederson

----------- Drogba --- Kanu

----------------James-----------------------
Neville--------Vidic-------Terry---------Evra

----------------------Essien------------------

--------Scholes-------------------Arteta-----

Diouf--------------------------------Ronaldo

He did quite well I thought. Only stuck one Liverpool player in there.

Well done GH!

Carvalho was immense yesterday, and has played very well this season, including a good performance v United.

But, 4 goals conceded in the last 2 games without JT (sloppy goals too - none of them have been wonderstrikes, or even shots from outside the box).

We conceded 2 vs Tottenham/Boro with JT...

Of the goals vs Wigan:

Heskey 1 - fault of Boulahrouz and Drogba
Heskey 2 - referees fault

Of the goals vs Everton:

Arteta - Boulahrouz again
Yobo - cant remember who was marking him

Carvalho has not been the problem.

Terry was shit vs Villa and Charlton.

Van der Sar is by far the best goal keeper this season and still you guys try to do anything NOT to mention his name... .... !!!

Yeah, we are all anti-dutch.

VDS has been excellently steady, Jussi has just been amazing though.

@Ricardo
He has Rio and Vidic infront of him as defenders while Jussi has Meite and Faye(is that right?) infront of him.

Hate to say it Jamie but Hardrada is right. Carvalho has been on form this season, hes made some tremendous tackles that have stopped goal scoring opportunities, and whilst JT has as well, i think Carvy has been better overall than JT.

-----------Diouf--

how much sherry did you have for breakfast?

you clearly haven't seen much Bolton this season

He's been amazing for them and for me has been one of the best five players in the league!

Told!

* Very tough call between him, Saha and Martins - Barry and M.Taylor also very unfortunate to miss out.

I'm a big fan of Jussi but he's not guaranteed ahead of James and Foster.
