Sorry, as a Saints' fan I have to post this - I was there!
And yes it does get interesting!
For the record Pompey fans call Saints "Scummers" and Saints fans call Pompey fans (and players) "You Skate B@st@rds".
O what fun we had

I blame the English.
BTW - a guy from Portsmouth got arrested for punching a Police horse - he got charged with animal cruelty and criminal damage??????. The horse was fine afterwards.
What an idiot!

Tampa is playoff bound right now in 3rd place, Memphis is 2 below the cutoff line, not too many games left, lot would have to happen to make the playoffs.

Sorry for all you Spurs fans out there, but I just had to say that last night's result against Bayern is no surprise to me!
Losing 2-7 at home is a true debacle, but it shows that there are big problems at the club.
I went up at the weekend to see Saints play - mainly to see the (really excellent) new stadium and thought they were rubbish. Even before the sending-off Spurs were not that good and managed 2 goals on the break.
A better team than Saints with a goalscorer would have won comfortably.
Mind you Loris was worth the admission price - both for the gift to Ings, and the two brilliant saves in second half that won the game!
See 50 secs in for Ings goal

One or two surprise results at the weekend then.
Biggest question now, is which manager is getting the sack first?
My money is on either OGS at Man Utd or Potch at Spurs.
Others in the frame are - RH at Saints - no home win this season,Silva at Everton and in Europe Zindane at Madrid (even though they are doing well in La Liga - an early exit from Champions League will see to that.

I refuse to believe either manager is going to go Peter... Spurs just went to the Champions Final... he has goodwill... OGS has crap players and everyone knows it...

With not too many games left this season and only 2 Playoff spots remaining in the East, Memphis is 13th but not yet eliminated from the playoff contention but still below the cutoff line, Tampa still has clinched a spot but dropped to 5th in the East.

Wanna make a bet old chap?
Pocch mat be safe for a while, but the Bayern result coupled with the way the players are performing (they seem to have no willingness to fight anymore) must be worrying for him. And a Final a season ago is ancient history - they look like going out of Europe this season at the group stage , and unlikely to qualify next season. Still they have a really nice stadium!
OGS is a cr@p manager (he got Cardiff City relegated in 13-14) and hasn't got a clue. They have thrown lots of money at their squad (look at the numbers of Centre Backs they have signed in the last few seasons) so can't complain at the players they have.
They are truly awful this season and at best look like finishing 8th - 10th!
I give it until Dec unless a miracle happens.

Interesting weekend - I wanted to post something after watching Arsenal last night.
On that subject, have they not learned that the aim of the game is to score goals? It's great to keep the ball and make lots of intricate passes around the opposition, but really!!!!!! Shelf Utd deserved their win last night and took advantage of awful defending at a corner.
Spurs? - still sure Pocc is going to stay rokker? Watford well worth a point and should have had a penalty too!
VAR - at Saints' game at Wolves, I thought it make a big difference - I didn't realise that the two "goals" for Wolves that were disallowed by VAR were both correct decisions. Up until then Saints have had every VAR decision going their way (unbelievable - refs never give Saints benefit of the doubt). However, on the day I agreed with penalty decision for Wolves, but seeing it on TV, it was definitely a dive (which VAR didn't give).
For me VAR is a must; it's just the way the PL do it that is bad. The only rule seems to be NOT to embarrass the on-field referee - never overturn a decision if he seems sure - even if it's wrong.

Some time ago rokker said that British fans were brutal.
Ever been to Greece rokker?
To be honest the PAOK fans (Thessalonika) seem amazing. They really hate the Athens clubs and when Olympiakos visit they want to welcome them to "Hell"
I want to go!!!!!!
