If anything illustrates the bizarre nature of the Premier League it’s Scolari being sacked today as Chelsea manager. Effectively just a couple of wins behind Manchester United and still in the Champions League and FA Cup competitions, and still putting his stamp on the team, and he’s dismissed. It will soon get to the stage [...]

Everyone seems rather down in the dumps at only gaining a point away to Wigan on Saturday but I see it as a positive. Steve Bruce has galvanised the Latics this year and they were riding high in seventh spot when we rolled into town so a draw is a decent result.
Yes it appears we [...]

Who the fuck is Jimmy Bullard?
Who the fuck is Jimmy Bullard?
Who the fuck is Jimmy Bullard?

Here’s how I scored the lads yesterday.
Schwarzer – 7/10
Was left exposed for Portsmouth’s goal but made a couple of good saves, particularly from a dangerous Sean Davies lob.

Hangeland – 6/10
A couple of dodgy moments [...]

“Who the f*** is Jimmy Bullard when the whites go marching on, on, on?” we sang as Erik the Viking slotted home his second to put a hard fought match out of Portsmouth’s reach. The scoreline may have flattered us but these were three vital points that put us back in the Premier League’s top [...]
