Wow, what a trip. This place is mad, man. Normal service resumed and my old avatar.

Cooooooooooooooooooooool.

Good to see Hines get a call up for 21's – I've already seen enough to tell me he is better than Sears.

Probably true, snowy, but I would give up one season of attractive stuff for a bit of silverware.
Fed up with being the nice guys who finish second (or much much lower, if you catch my drift)

Don't think it's a coincidence that Harry is always blessed with a team of great players, as you describe them.
As the game's biggest buyer and seller, I think Harry's experience enables him to surround himself with great (or good) players.
The Pompey side that won the Cup were primarily Harry's buys. He has bought well at Spuds and has spotted the chancers there as well.
Don't want to sound like his PR man, but I do think he is top drawer.
Each to their own though, Matt.

Fishy the Premier League fit and proper persons league approved a corrupt deposed former Thai dictator, ruling family members from countries where women are treated as second class citizens and human rights are a minor concern at least. Thats not to mention Uzmanov at Arsenal who has spent 6years in a hard labour camp in Uzbekistan for extorting and threatening a Russian army officer and was described by former British Ambassador Craig Murray as "a gangster and a racketeer" neither his nor Romans backgrounds would lead to either of them being classed as fit or prper persons by any rational standard

Matt I think we will be well clear of any relegation scrap and am not concerned about who is involved in it. I do find it amusing though that Harrys last two clubs were both left in financial ruins following his time in charge. Lets hope he keeps the run going at the spuds!
Personally I never knew why people rated him as a manager, his attitude has always been that if you buy enough of players some of them are bound to work out. I get the impression that when he puts his arm around a player's shoulders he can get the best out of him but if he decides he has no interest in you then he treats players quite badly in the press, like he did with Darren Bent.
For all of that Harry is the source of my favourite ever WestHam quote, when asked about his time playing with former Hammers greats he said "We had Hurst, Moore and Peters in the team and we still finished 17th, goes to show how crap the rest of us were!"

As for players I dont feel they are good enough for WH and are serious contenders for the CL next season as I see another loss for them this wk

Celtic, Good post, as I said in an earlier post it mystifies me as how after a period of months Portsmouth having had a fire sale over the past year and now after the FA/PL fit & proper persons test and appapparent takeover by
SalFahim he has not enough money in the bank to pay staff salaries
SOMETHING SEROIUSLY DOES NOT ADD UP.
Despite all our financial problems we have managed to keep hold of all our players buy some untried players who we hope will step up to the plate given time. We are basically a stable club and manage to pay our staff and hope that the long awaited takeover buy a new owner is not too far away
