Probably a fair result, especially as Green should have walked off the park in a Shaka style (thank god he didn't or it would have been 12-0) but I thought we were going to hang in there for the draw.

Bums!


Strangely entertaining game even if the quality on show was somewhat lacking.


Tend to agree with quids that arsenal won't be winning no Premiership this year.

I feel I need to quantify my comments above. Firstly, the feeling in Portsmouth, where I was when I typed that, is good riddance. Most Pompey fans have not forgiven him for going to Southampton and have been waiting a long time for him to leave the club, so they are overjoyed. I have mixed feelings. Firstly I find him an awful self publicist who sings his own praises all the time. Secondly, his judgement on tactics and players is very suspect, he has his favourites and woe betide any player that does not fit in (Gary O'Neil on loan to cardiff for 3 years?). Thirdly, he insists on employing Kevin Bond at every available opportunity.


Congrats at getting three points at home to Bolton Harry - let's hope you can emulate that terrific feet against Arsenal and Liverpool.


Oh, and don't turn up for the Freedom of Portsmouth Ceremony on Tuesday! :D :D :D

I would argue that any manager given the financial backing Bagpuss did would have achieved similar. Perhaps even more as they would probably have not wasted ?7m on David Nugent! ;)


I have just heard that Pompey need a buyer by Friday to avoid administration. Comes from someone who last Weds told me that Harry was talking to Levy so could be some truth in it.

Just in case any of you needed reminding. ;-)


So glad we managed to take stop Chelsea's unbeaten run. Makes yesterday even sweeter.

I was the one near the front of the side bar with my head in my hands.

Shambolic last 10 minutes undid a pretty gutsy performance.


I see 'arry says of Spurs "You look through and there are international players.

You look at the quality and they shouldn't be where they are"


I'm sure he said the same about the West Ham team that was too good to go down, and the Southampton team that was too good to go....


you get the picture.

He said this in January when he was linked with Newcastle though..


"I have a job to do to take this club forward, and to walk away would not have been the right thing to do," said Redknapp.

"I'm happy here, people treat me well and I felt a loyalty to the club and the fans."


Just not that much loyalty eh?

Sour grapes ratty? I'm very glad Spurs have got rid of the foreign management style. It doesn't work over here. Ramos was an unmitigated distaster. He might have won us the Carling Cup but we could have done that with Martin Jol. The fact is we've barely won a game in the Premiership since. I'm very pleased we've got in Harry Redknapp. I feel safe that we will not be relegated now. Harry will wheel and deal in the January sales and first off we'll have Jermain Defoe back thanks but you can keep Kevin Bond, although sadly it looks like he's on his way to us already.

Arsenal and Liverpool next. Easy. Come on you Spurs!!!

Great result for the Pool at the weekend. That was an amazing home record Chelsea had but it had to go sometime.

Jermain Deofe would have a job moving in January. Player cannot resign for the same club he left within 12 months. As Defoe signed for Pompey last minute on Jan 31st (as a loan of course) then any move for him by Spurs would be nearly as comical as selling all their best strikers in the first place. :)-D


Not sour grapes though - just had enough of redknapp and his self publicising clap trap. Most Pompey I know (and I know a fooking lot) are over the moon he is gone because of his Southampton debacle (although they mysteriously forgive Peter Crouch :)) ) I am just gutted that it looks like Tony Adams in charge for us (nice bloke but sadly clinically insane!)


As for keeping Kevin Bond - well the scummer is not with us anymore - last seen being hung out to dry for taking bungs ("everyone knows my boss likes a back hander") and being bounced out at Newcastle. When he was coach at Pompey he was actually only ever given the responsibility of getting the flags out! :))


In all honestly though I do worry that he will try and take David James, Sylvan Didtin, Diarra or Niko in the TW (although if reports are that he has ?20m to spend then Diarra and Niko are out of reach), but if he does then c'est la vie.


I will continue to think of Spurs in the same way as I awlays have done - Southampton's equivalent in London, and Redknapp going there will only confirm the point. >:D<


So, good luck with the worlds biggest West Ham, Arsenal, Scumhampton, Pompey, Newcastle, Bournemouth and Tottenham fan in charge. Here's some reading material for you Spuds before your next game :D :D :D (Hope I have put enough smilies in this post to indicate tongue in cheekery)

Broken Dreams ratty? Good choice. Being a lifelong Tottenham supporter I've had plenty of them. Now, a new goalkeeper would be a good start as Gomez is bloody useless and doesn't inspire confidence in what is already a shaky defence. He's worse than Calamity James on a bad day, so you can keep him.

Bit more from saggychops.......


I Love This Club


"I'm happy - this is a club I feel comfortable at. I have a fantastic relationship with the fans, a fantastic relationship with the owner and with Peter (Storrie, chief executive). The players I've brought to the club, I've sold Portsmouth to them and to walk away having brought them here, when the club is doing so well, wouldn't be right" - Harry Redknapp, January 7.


"I had no intention of leaving here. The job now is to take this club forward" - Harry Redknapp, January 12.


"I'm happy here, people treat me well and I felt a loyalty to the club and the fans" - Harry Redknapp, January 12.


"It would be difficult to sleep at night. You have to look at yourself and say 'the club's been good to me and I've got to pay them back'" - Harry Redknapp, January 12.


"It was a difficult decision not to go to Newcastle, but I was thinking about the players who I had encouraged to come here, who I had told what we could achieve and I thought to myself, 'I can't have done that and then just walk away myself'. Newcastle is a fantastic club but I made the decision and I am happy with it. If I was 40, I might have gone, but I didn't want to be away from my wife and grandchildren. I also have a great team here" - Harry Redknapp, March 10.


"We are not a great club in terms of stadium, training facilities and number of fans we can get in but this is where I'm happy" - Harry Redknapp, April 11.


"I love it here at Portsmouth. I enjoy coming in here to training every day. I'll stay be here until I'm not wanted" - Harry Redknapp, May 16.


"I've said this will be my last job in football" - Harry Redknapp, August 18.



Big Fan


"I was a big Arsenal fan as a kid" - Harry Redknapp in The Daily Telegraph, February 17.


"I followed Tottenham, I trained there as an 11-year-old, 12-year-old so I know the history of the club. It is a big, big, club" - Harry Redknapp on The BBC Website, October 26.



My Kind Of People


"It's a disgrace. People chant filth, it's nothing to do with football. Some of the stuff that goes on is completely out of order" - Harry Redknapp on Spurs fans, October 3.


"What are you supposed to do? Sit back and say nothing? We are talking about racist abuse and everything else thrown in. How do Spurs people feel when they get abuse? They have had lots of abuse over the years and have a big Jewish element among their supporters. Someone has got to make a stand and if Sol wants to we are right behind him. What kind of a nutter must you be to do this kind of thing?" - Harry Redknapp on Spurs fans, October 3.

    • Does anyone know when the next SNT meeting is? I am fed up with my son being mugged on East Dulwich Grove! 
    • The issue must be everywhere at the moment. I was visiting a friend last week in Bermondsey, think we were walking  down Linton Rd & we dodged 7 dog poos. It was disgusting. 
    • Thanks for your message — I actually took the time to look into what CityHive does before posting my original comment, and I’d encourage anyone with questions to do the same. Yes, the Companies House filings are overdue — but from what I’ve gathered, this seems likely to be an accountant or admin issue, not some sign of ill intent. A lot of small, community-based organisations face challenges keeping up with formalities, especially when they’re focused on immediate needs like food distribution. Let’s not forget CityHive is a not-for-profit, volunteer-powered CIC — not a corporate machine. As for the directors, people stepping down or being replaced is often about capacity or commitment — which is completely normal in the voluntary and community sector. New directors are sometimes appointed when others can no longer give the time. It doesn’t automatically mean bad governance — it just means people’s circumstances change. CityHive’s actual work speaks volumes. They buy most of the food they distribute — fresh produce, essential groceries, and shelf-stable items — and then deliver it to food banks, soup kitchens, and community projects across London. The food doesn’t stay with CityHive — it goes out to local food hubs, and from there, directly to people who need it most. And while yes, there may be a few paid staff handling logistics or admin, there’s a huge volunteer effort behind the scenes that often goes unseen. Regular people giving their time to drive vans, sort donations, load pallets, pack food parcels — that’s what keeps things running. And when people don’t volunteer? Those same tasks still need to be done — which means they have to be paid for. Otherwise, the whole thing grinds to a halt. As the need grows, organisations like CityHive will inevitably need more support — both in people and funding. But the bigger issue here isn’t one small CIC trying to make ends meet. The real issue is the society we live in — and a government that isn’t playing its part in eradicating poverty. If it were, organisations like CityHive, The Felix Project, City Harvest, FareShare, and the Trussell Trust wouldn’t need to exist, let alone be thriving. They thrive because the need is growing. That’s not a reflection on them — it’s a reflection on a broken system that allows people to go hungry in one of the richest cities in the world. If you're in doubt about what they’re doing, go check their Instagram: @cityhivemedia. You’ll see the real organisations and people receiving food, sharing thanks, and showing how far the impact reaches. Even Southwark Foodbank has received food from CityHive — that alone should speak volumes. So again — how does any of this harm you personally? Why spend time trying to discredit a group trying to support those who are falling through the cracks? We need more people lifting others up — not adding weight to those already carrying the load.
    • Well, this is very disappointing. Malabar Feast  has changed its menu again. The delicious fish curry with sea bass no longer exists. There is now a fish dish with raw mango, which doesn't appeal. I had dal and spinach instead, which was bland (which I suppose I could/should have predicted). One of my visitors had a "vegetable Biriani" which contained hardly any vegetables. Along with it came two extremely tiny pieces of poppadom in a large paper bag.   This was embarrassing, as I had been singing Malabar's praises and recommending we ordered from there. The other mains and the parathas were OK, but I doubt we will be ordering from there again. My granddaughters wisely opted for Yard Sale pizzas, which were fine. Has anybody else had a similar recent poor (or indeed good!)  experience at Malabar Feast?
