Portsmouth v Manchester United

Is Fergie allowed in the dressing room, or will Phelan have to perform the hairdryer?
 
FFS, let us finish the action, THERE WAS STILL SOME TIME ! This is going too far.
 
Bring Carrick off, stick Scholes & Fletcher in midfield, Giggs and Valencia on the wings, Berba & Rooney up-front.

We've been having some shocking referee decisions in the last few weeks, coincidence that it seems to have occured after the verbal 'unfit' rant by Ferguson? It's a disgrace really.

We've been piss poor mind, (again).
 
No mate. 3PM kickoffs on a saturday are not allowed to be broadcast live in the UK.

I have three channels showing 3:00pm games over here. I see a hell of a lot more football than my dad in the UK.
 
Im not pleased. Firstly by our limp performance but the officials have had a shocker.

In the second half we need change. A change in attitude, system and maybe some players if this continues. We will drop more points here todays unless we get our act together.
 
shambles, no adventure or courage, cant believe this 3 in the middle what a waste of 45 min, fergie will realise the mistake change it with 25 minutes to go and we will still probably not get anything. We are shit at keeping the ball these days i must say, rooney looks like a wasted figure up top on his own and giggs and carrick have been poor. Not happy at all
 
It is one of the most pathetic footballing decisions i have ever seen.

Is Vidic holding onto his shirt? Yes
Is this a foul? Yes

The problem is the inconsistency, as there will be examples of this in both penalty areas of every single game this weekend which won't be blown up as fouls. But it's the correct decision to do so. The other refs are wrong for not doing so
 
One of the worst penalty decisions I've seen there for the Pompey penalty. We really have been on the end of terrible refereeing decisions this season so far.


certain this has got all to do with SAF's rant.....they have been given clear directions by the head of the union....but what a way to destroy the game...

completely delegitimatizes the sport..
 
A really negative line up from us. Why no Owen or Berbatov? This is Portsmouth away not Liverpool/Chelsea away FFS!
 
Wish Gary Neville would just shut up and get on with it.

Tell me about it...his fecking complaining over and over again gets on my nerves because he's then caught out of position. A player of his age should be more worried about his positioning because of his lack of pace rather than giving the ref a piece of his mind.

He's the club captain for gods sake. Set an example or pass the arm band on.
 
We have 5 midfielders, but still doesn't feel like we're doing all that well in the middle of the pitch. Defense has been shaky.

Kuscszak has been very good. Seems like he's got a bit of confidence now.

Valenica has been the best player.
 
Pompey have had more shots on target than us (6 to 5) and more off target (5 to 2) and more of the game has been played in our 3rd (33%) than in theirs (25%) - any way you look at it, we're second best.

The only thing worse than us out there has been the ref who seems to have lost it completely. Scholes and Fletcher both had to be booked, he gave the softest penalty I have ever seen and blew for half time early so he could escape.
 
Stupid decision but the players need to get over it now and just ... perform.

45 minutes and yes, Berba needs to come on. We need a partner for Rooney now.
 
One of Carrick or Fletcher have to press higher up the pitch we're just letting them come at us, it's ridiculous.

On that logic we are going to see about 10 pens every match then
