G-M: don't think me rude, but what *IS* that godawful thing your fans keep repeatedly, repeatedly blaring out? Sounds like "Same old Pompey, always scoring..." or something. Get some new songs!

Just managed to resist the fanboy inside me wanting to take pictures with my mobile and spout shite about how wonderful he was.

But only just.

Did you find out what airport he was going to - might give us a clue to his next job!

Just watched Middlesborough v Bolton and it was a well exciting last 10 minutes.

1-1 in the end and Borough deserved that point too.

Diouf was behaving like an absolute twat throughout.

You do not, however, want to know what is happening at St James'

Looks like Fulham have found some form.

Just looked at the Sky Sports website.

I say,

What the HELL happened there, then?

London, so not too much help there...

And as for the Fulham match - supposedly Crossley had a blinder, we had a certain penalty turned down and Souness was sent off. Then Fulham scored 3 in 10 minutes in the second half. Not good. See what happens when I go away for two weeks? Thankfully I'm back for the Man U game next Sunday...

I was just reading about it and it says Newcastle dominated the game!

January - new defence please.

What a sterling performance by City's defence today, Dunne was tops and true to form! I'm very happy with a point.

I'm sort of resiging myself to the fact that Gerrard's going to get off. Probably this summer. So, I'm looking for the team to show signs that they can cope without him, and to be honest they have shown that though not as consitently as I'd prefer

I cant bare the thought iof another season of SG and SG alone bailing us out...it will only hasten his departure.

I think Benitez has got the team going the right way and our main problem is finances. We need a centre-half and a striker (obv!). We're talking to potential backers I beleive: just hope it gets sorted in order to cut Benitez and the tam a bit more slack.

I really thought we played a lot better than Bolton did, but they do what they do very well. Get in the way, cause congestion and waste time to wind you up. That how they got their goal and that's why Diouf should have been sent off. What a little cunt he is.

But like I said, they do what they do well, so they earned themselves a point. That kind of play isn't going to earn them a lot of respect though.

We also hit the post three times and hit the bar.

Best quote for me last week was after Ipswich beat Sheffield United 5-1 at Portman Road. The Sheffield manager said afterwards,

"That's the last time I come here and try to play football".

Made me feel warm and fuzzy, coz y'know, ITFC are a proper footballing team.

Rangers/Celtic (which I'm watching) and Newcastle/Chelsea both go to extra time . . .
