GO LIVERPOOL GO!!!!

its good while it lasts...we drew after we beat utd though and we got pompey midweek,still no torres and i have a horrible feeling that lanky beanpole that used to play for us will score


speaking of harry redknapp...i dunno whether i missed a morning newspaper on saturday due to my hang over but i swear that came from nowhere!!!....always rated harry...my only problem with him getting the spurs job is there giving him it after two managers have both spent 40+ million(ramos more but he re-couped)...and harrys a well known wheeler and dealer...i wanted to see him get a decent wedge to put a team together but i dont think itll be a case of that


and paulyenko(sp)=the nextel hadji diouf(UNWRITTEN LAW OF FOOTBALL:players signed on the basis of a good world/euro cup are inevitably always crap!!!)

Adams appointed new Pompey boss



Tony Adams has succeeded Harry Redknapp as manager of Portsmouth, BBC Radio Solent understands.

Adams, 42, took charge of the team alongside coach Joe Jordan for Sunday's 1-1 draw with Fulham following Redknapp's departure to Tottenham.

The former Arsenal captain and England captain was named as Redknapp's number two in 2006.

He endured an ill-fated spell in charge of Wycombe and had coaching jobs in the Netherlands with Feyenoord and Utrecht.

Former Bolton and Newcastle boss Sam Allardyce and ex-Chelsea manager Avram Grant, who worked as technical director at Fratton Park in 2006, were reportedly among the favourites to take over from Redknapp.

Adams, who will be unveiled at a 1300 GMT news conference, begins his reign as Portsmouth boss with a trip to league leaders Liverpool at Anfield on Wednesday.

Pompey chief executive Peter Storrie said on Sunday that the south-coast club would take their time in finding a new manager.

Redknapp, who ended his second spell at Portsmouth after three years in charge, has already put in a good word for Adams and Jordan.

"I spoke to Peter about it and said 'you've got Joe and Tony and they are both terrific guys'," stated Redknapp.

"Joe is very experienced, Tony is up and coming in the managerial game and works very hard. I don't think either of them would do any harm, for sure."

Storrie insisted there were no financial problems at the club and that decisions would continue to be driven by owner Alexandre Gaydamak.

"In the summer we sold Sulley Muntari for a club record fee and sold Pedro Mendes but used most of that money in bringing in Peter Crouch and Younes Kaboul and a couple of loan players," he added.

"If we were to sell players we would reinvest and bring other players in. We've got a very, very good squad here, a quality side, and when January comes we will approach it then.

"Sacha Gaydamak has owned this club for two-and-a-half years and has continued to put finance into the club to bring in players.

"It will be his decision in January whether he wants to continue that growth and expand."

Meanwhile, Jordan expressed his surprise at the speed of Redknapp's departure, while also wishing him the best.

"It was a bit of a shock I must admit but Harry is a good manager and you expect that good managers will be wanted by big clubs," said Jordan.

"The speed of it has surprised a lot of people and it was a shock to me."

Redknapp is the epitomy of a dick head manager. He goes from club to club obviously for the money, he's stupid. He would of went to Newcastle before they got Keegan if they would of probably offered him more doh. He's a dick head. I hope he gets Spurs relegated now.
