Pomp & Circumstance


Again Tottering Hotspur fail to break down a resolute defence aided and abetted by a blue shirted referee. Just like against Hull, Stoke, Wolves, throw up a wall and Tottenham will flounder on it. Only Bale holds a key to unlock, the others are just blocked. Tottenham, you need a genius infront of goal with flare and imagination. The 4 strikers lost us that game today, not supported well enough by midfield apart from Modric.


The next fortnight does not look good , it never did, but it’s worse now.


That team just threw away the chance of a medal , a trophy, silverware for the Team and the Supporters. Booooooooooooo

In truth Spurs did not play bad, they faced 12 blue shirts including the referee Alan Wiley, who surely did not have a flutter on the side, he did disallow a perfectly good goal for Spurs which would have levelled the scores, it was the only time Crouch did not miss several chances coming his way. Even Pompey goalkeeper David James ironically smiled at the cameras at his good fortune with the referee saying he was impeded before the goal. Rubbish.

Referees, they cost teams and supporters, hope your bet was worthwhile Mr Wiley. Oh btw how many free kicks did you award to Portsmouth, and yet when Krancjar is hauled down, blind as a bat aren't you.
