Portsmouth haven't claim any points since this season started so yeah... Nothing much to talk bout that. The last match was Portsmouth vs Arsenal : which I was really looking forward to watch, had been a very upsetting match. 4-1 as they were beaten.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hmmm... Nothing good there. So anyway, I was asked to make a football club emblem and here is the result.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_o0GrwDZ5bYA/SpJFeYBzQGI/AAAAAAAAA4Q/t9-6LRjRrrk/s1600-h/new_crest_large_460x460.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_o0GrwDZ5bYA/SpJFeYBzQGI/AAAAAAAAA4Q/t9-6LRjRrrk/s400/new_crest_large_460x460.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5373433693554819170" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I want you to post a comment on this post or the cBox which will be available later on, on what do you think of the emblem. The original one was Derby County's emblem and so I edit it out for Belait Vella fc. I haven't really see any emblem which is similar to the one I made so I'm pretty happy bout it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ummm... oh yeah. This is pretty important for reader out there... If there are readers, I won't be online for quite a while. My SPN21 (examination) is drawing closer so I'll be too busy for Growing Up Football. Will be certain that I'll be back on October.

I just can't wait for the new players to step in Fratton Park.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_o0GrwDZ5bYA/Sm2SSTh__WI/AAAAAAAAA3Q/PfroF_eChqI/s1600-h/newkit0910.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 314px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_o0GrwDZ5bYA/Sm2SSTh__WI/AAAAAAAAA3Q/PfroF_eChqI/s400/newkit0910.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5363103574446308706" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5628423508101894972-7515389640474589188?l=growingupfootball.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://growingupfootball.blogspot.com/feeds/7515389640474589188/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5628423508101894972&amp;postID=7515389640474589188' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5628423508101894972/posts/default/7515389640474589188'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5628423508101894972/posts/default/7515389640474589188'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://growingupfootball.blogspot.com/2009/07/portsmouth-new-sponser-and-away-shirt.html' title='Portsmouth new sponser and away shirt reveals'/><author><name>NK Nika</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01587400921013377705</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='19' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_o0GrwDZ5bYA/SQX3jx1TzGI/AAAAAAAAAVE/VcdS5_qYIjo/S220/NK+Nika_wall2wall.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_o0GrwDZ5bYA/Sm2ThDB7CpI/AAAAAAAAA3Y/XKWB9PPyDHY/s72-c/jobsite.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5628423508101894972.post-4618295627472604974</id><published>2009-07-07T19:25:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-07-07T19:26:55.326-07:00</updated><title type='text'>World best remix all time!</title><content type='html'>&lt;object width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/sGNDlLiVBK0&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/sGNDlLiVBK0&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5628423508101894972-4618295627472604974?l=growingupfootball.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://growingupfootball.blogspot.com/feeds/4618295627472604974/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5628423508101894972&amp;postID=4618295627472604974' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5628423508101894972/posts/default/4618295627472604974'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5628423508101894972/posts/default/4618295627472604974'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://growingupfootball.blogspot.com/2009/07/world-best-remix-all-time.html' title='World best remix all time!'/><author><name>NK Nika</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01587400921013377705</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='19' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_o0GrwDZ5bYA/SQX3jx1TzGI/AAAAAAAAAVE/VcdS5_qYIjo/S220/NK+Nika_wall2wall.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5628423508101894972.post-327554644296198975</id><published>2009-07-05T22:59:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-07-05T23:09:24.410-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Back in August</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;I'll be back in August when football season is back.

Instead it's in your brother's? Well, that just suck... SERIOUSLY. BUT... Luckily my bro swapped his iPod for mine.

I'll agree cause we all know, the best is from his boom box~&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 300px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_o0GrwDZ5bYA/Sj1XLS65_TI/AAAAAAAAA2o/8BqrjiNAXzM/s400/modjo.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5349527783955103026" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;So I downloaded his song entitled: Modjo - Lady (hear me tonight) and it's a deal. It was great getting to hear something from his collection. Craving for Aphex Twin - Boy/girl song finally ease with his Apple around. That song's the sex. Speaking of Aphex Twin, most of his songs are like... I just can't explain it in words.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;from Aphex Twin:&lt;br /&gt;girl/boy song&lt;br /&gt;Xtal&lt;br /&gt;Flim&lt;br /&gt;WindowLicker&lt;br /&gt;Donkey Rhubarb&lt;br /&gt;Come to daddy&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 300px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_o0GrwDZ5bYA/Sj1VJ6F8crI/AAAAAAAAA14/eGodXi3hAHc/s400/Aphex%252520Twin%252520-%252520Come%252520To%252520Daddy.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5349525561087390386" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 301px; height: 300px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_o0GrwDZ5bYA/Sj1WJbYh7TI/AAAAAAAAA2I/67KHFwPmMeg/s400/aphextwin.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5349526652355472690" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 299px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_o0GrwDZ5bYA/Sj1WJDJYWyI/AAAAAAAAA2A/FU1fNLUfI5Q/s400/Aphex_Twin_Selected_Ambient_Works.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5349526645849479970" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_o0GrwDZ5bYA/Sj1WJnA3i4I/AAAAAAAAA2Q/F0iOglUfGbU/s400/aphex-twin-85-92-1.jpeg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5349526655477451650" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;So that's the songs I recommended you guys to listen to. I listen to them so why not share :) OKAY you got me. So maybe I don't listen to Come To Dady but the Drum &amp;amp; Bass background sounds very good comparing to others that is. On Aphex Twin's Drum &amp;amp; Bass timestretch effects is original. He's no. 1 in my list of Drum &amp;amp; Bass&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;From Royksopp:&lt;br /&gt;In Space&lt;br /&gt;Sparks&lt;br /&gt;Happy Up Here&lt;br /&gt;Miss You So Much&lt;br /&gt;Vision One&lt;br /&gt;Poor Leno&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 300px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_o0GrwDZ5bYA/Sj1XMYMTW3I/AAAAAAAAA24/uHEYLFefMuo/s400/R_yksopp_Melody_A.M.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5349527802550115186" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_o0GrwDZ5bYA/Sj1XMfh98XI/AAAAAAAAA3A/S-Gg8ubSh1w/s400/royksopp.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5349527804520034674" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_o0GrwDZ5bYA/Sj1XMpauoiI/AAAAAAAAA3I/QXvXy9Zs3Dg/s400/royksopp-junior.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5349527807174025762" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I guess I'll be recommending you guys only that cause I'm not such a big fan of their new album. I guess I just don't like vocal that much. Though I love In Space cause the timing of the song sounds good and Sparks a great case cause it sounds like Downtempo. You guys know how I love Downtempo.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;from London Elektricity:&lt;br /&gt;Billion Dollar Gravy&lt;br /&gt;The Strangest Secret in the World&lt;br /&gt;Main ingredient&lt;br /&gt;Just one second&lt;br /&gt;Just One Second (Apex Remix)&lt;br /&gt;Search Engine&lt;br /&gt;The Great Drum &amp;amp; Bass Swindle&lt;br /&gt;Dancing cum&lt;br /&gt;hanging rock&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 250px; height: 250px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_o0GrwDZ5bYA/Sj1VJZ2TTLI/AAAAAAAAA1g/RnAmCG_J1EQ/s400/94-250.gif" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5349525552431844530" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 335px; height: 337px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_o0GrwDZ5bYA/Sj1VJgOB1EI/AAAAAAAAA1o/cPf8I4eoWxs/s400/3293.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5349525554141975618" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 312px; height: 312px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_o0GrwDZ5bYA/Sj1WKPpVdTI/AAAAAAAAA2g/ZVWCosxh3qE/s400/london-elektricity-syncopat.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5349526666384602418" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 300px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_o0GrwDZ5bYA/Sj1WJ8FGugI/AAAAAAAAA2Y/M28SfFgUluY/s400/London+Elektricity+-+Billion+Dollar+Gravy.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5349526661132368386" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_o0GrwDZ5bYA/Sj1XMAvyVvI/AAAAAAAAA2w/s2exD0Axppk/s400/nq8htg.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5349527796256495346" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Okay maybe my ears are stuck with London Elektricity but they are the greatest. Best song might be Just One Second but all time fav, Billion Dollar Gravy. I'm still new to The Great Drum &amp;amp; Bass Swidle but it's one of my top 10 list now. It sounds great in the ears.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;New in playlist:&lt;br /&gt;Mephisto - The Beat Of The Bee&lt;br /&gt;Kid Cudi vs Crookers - Day 'n' Nite&lt;br /&gt;Modjo - Lady (hear me tonight)&lt;br /&gt;Fedde Le Grand - Put Your Hands Up&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_o0GrwDZ5bYA/Sj1VJ3_rhGI/AAAAAAAAA1w/Gcy1xaXpD-w/s400/1242307135_4.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5349525560524244066" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Beat Of The Bee.

The successful bid comes after they struggled to raise the money to buy him when he was valued at about £8.5 million in January. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3366ff;"&gt;The Portsmouth and England right back subsequently signed a new four-year contract, but his future club appears clearer with Chelsea unwilling to match the fee for a player they sold for £4 million two years ago. Manchester City expressed an interest, but have not matched the price, which will include add-ons. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;Liverpool will raise funds from the potential sales of Álvaro Arbeloa and Andrea Dossena and from outstanding money that they are owed from the sale of Peter Crouch to Portsmouth for £11 million a year ago. The Anfield club have expressed an interest in Micah Richards, the Manchester City defender.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3366ff;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/sport/football/article6506773.ece"&gt;original:&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 61px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_o0GrwDZ5bYA/SjvBGATK-BI/AAAAAAAAA1I/BVPrAW1PlLo/s400/tol-logo.gif" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5349081291336382482" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5628423508101894972-2222432402381673698?l=growingupfootball.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://growingupfootball.blogspot.com/feeds/2222432402381673698/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5628423508101894972&amp;postID=2222432402381673698' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5628423508101894972/posts/default/2222432402381673698'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5628423508101894972/posts/default/2222432402381673698'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://growingupfootball.blogspot.com/2009/06/portsmouth-accept-liverpool-bid-for.html' title='Portsmouth accept Liverpool bid for Glen Johnson'/><author><name>NK Nika</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01587400921013377705</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='19' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_o0GrwDZ5bYA/SQX3jx1TzGI/AAAAAAAAAVE/VcdS5_qYIjo/S220/NK+Nika_wall2wall.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_o0GrwDZ5bYA/SjvBGT95-HI/AAAAAAAAA1Q/0-M4AczzfHA/s72-c/SNN2003PN_490368a.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5628423508101894972.post-6740550707888531477</id><published>2009-06-19T09:31:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-06-19T09:42:51.021-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Chelsea threaten Liverpools chances of signing Glen Johnson from Portsmouth</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_o0GrwDZ5bYA/Sju_gNOWjjI/AAAAAAAAA1A/VoU_pa4Kmg8/s1600-h/article-0-02EACD03000005DC-549_306x465.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 263px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_o0GrwDZ5bYA/Sju_gNOWjjI/AAAAAAAAA1A/VoU_pa4Kmg8/s400/article-0-02EACD03000005DC-549_306x465.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5349079542459174450" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;Earlier this week it was claimed the Merseyside club were leading the way to secure the 24-year-old's signature, but now it seems Chelsea's promise of a higher wage packet has swung the pendulum the other way. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3366ff;"&gt;According to the Sun, Johnson favours a move to Liverpool following his less than enjoyable spell with Chelsea during which he made just 34 league starts over four seasons, but either way, his exit is inevitable. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt; Related ArticlesPremier League Transfer TalkPortsmouth Football Club: Fixtures 2009/2010Liverpool win race for JohnsonLiverpool near Johnson dealFootballers on holidaySport on television"The matter will come to a conclusion at the beginning of next week," said Portsmouth executive chairman (Peter Storrie).

Something may happen in the not-too-distant future." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3366ff;"&gt;Liverpool and Manchester City are among the clubs who are reportedly interested in signing Johnson, who established himself as England's first-choice right-back last season. &lt;br /&gt;Pompey value Johnson, who only signed a new four-year contract in January, at about £18m and would only allow him to leave if their valuation was reached.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Glen has obviously had a fantastic season for us and has established himself as one of the best right-backs in the league if not the country at the moment," former West Ham managing director Storrie told Sky Sports News. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3366ff;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I've known Glen for a long time since his West Ham days so when I re-signed him we talked it over and he asked if one of the big four clubs, who were in the Champions League, came in for him would we stand in his way of a move. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;"I said that I couldn't do that, provided the deal is good for Portsmouth and for Glen."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3366ff;"&gt;Nika's comment:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;Holy shit balls! This suck cow's nipples! Glen's gonna move!?! Yeah I'll do the same thing if I'm the chairman but Pompey's left broken behind! I can't seem to see the defend area the same way again!Well, certainly Liverpool's gonna bid 'em but Man City? The Kops are way out of league for that. I just hope more players from the academy would transfer to seniors and replace Glen there. I just couldn't trust other footys out there eccept for Corluka but that's not gonna happen. Marc would be a great replacement though.

Manchester United is on the top now with 83 points and and the lowest is with 31 points which is West Bromwich Albion. Firstly, I congratulate this season's new comers, Bolton Wanderers, Stoke City and West Bromwich Albion and don't forget Manchester United for being the top this end of the season. 'Struggle' fits Manchester United this early season as they were lower than the 10th place with the poor results they've picked up without Christiano Ronaldo but as he heals and is fit to play, points colide Manchester United and they are back with their winning ways.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff00;"&gt;Chelsea also reached the top early of this season for weeks and was having a points-war with Liverpool hence their point difference were very small in numbers. Liverpool then wins the top place for a few weeks and Manchester United were on their way on top while Chelsea were struggling with Scolari. In the end, with so much draws and lost with the current manager, Scolari was sacked the same date Tony Adams, Portsmouth former manager was sacked. Chelsea began picking up more points with their new manager, Guus Hiddink while Portsmouth was still managerless and under their caretaker, Paul Hart. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;It was too late for Chelsea as Manchester United stole and stayed at the top from Liverpool till this very day. It was a big celebration for Manchester United. From being in 16th place this early season to first, big accomplishment I assume. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;As for the teams below Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester United, Arsenal had gave quite a shock for most of the predictors and fans for most of their with with the top 3 clubs but unsatisfying results with the underdogs. There were a lot of injuries through out this season and most of the great players were sent on loan. Aston Villa played a great role this season with &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;winning the 3rd standings at the middle of this season. Along side Agbonlahor, Ashley Young and Gareth Barry, Aston Villa is shaping up well. Things sublime this end of the season as Aston Villa aren't picking up a lot of points and drop to 5th position from the standings. Considering Heskey, the English striker joins the club, things fell apart for O'Neil's Aston Villa.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33ffff;"&gt;Mark Hughes' club, Manchester City has been by far the most richest club in BPL and had broke the record by transfering Robinho, the Brazilian striker to Man. City with 32.5 Million pound. This was by far the unexpected club this season with their performance on field. Once luck was planted on the field, more than 3 celebrations made for the Blue Moon. But sadly, shaping up points were their weakness as they are in the 10th place this end of the season.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Finally, my club. It was cheer to fans ear as Portsmouth won the F.A cup and they were predicted to be better this season but... It was nightmare to hear Harry Redknapp, former manager, moved to Hotspurs and signed Tony Adams as manager. From being winners to rubbish Portsmouth were in the hands of the former Arsenal striker and desasterous to see Portsmouth knocked out from 6th place to near the relegation zone. It was also a letdown as Jermain Defoe join Portsmouth from Spurs and rejoin Spurs after the depart of Redknapp. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3366ff;"&gt;It also was a torture to see that Tony can't relate with Portsmouth and can't improve Pompey. After 16 unwin matches, Portsmouth were finally free from Tony Adams and under caretaker Paul Hart. Needless to say, Paul Hart can't see most of Pompey's talent and only points out directions to some of the fowards leaving talented players being reserves.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Enough of that, lets finish this seaon first.

Not bad Pompey players. Not that bad nor good. Just okay...

Belhadj worked well next to Nugent and vice versa. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;It was very hard to goal for Pompey since Crouchie's there. He's a king on air but this is Man.utd. Air is difficult even for players like Portsmouth to cross and easily taken by the target. Speed, accuracy, passing and creating spaces are what's good to defeat Man.utd. Not trying to say good things to Man.utd but I'm just saying.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3366ff;"&gt;First goal was pretty fast. Rooney kicked the ball from short range and goaled assist by Anderson at 8' and the last one was by Scholes which kicked the ball to the bottom corner at 82' and scored 3 points with it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 220px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_o0GrwDZ5bYA/Se-myDlXhwI/AAAAAAAAAyA/5oVRPnN8dNM/s400/vs+Man.utd.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5327660263088293634" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;I just hate the fact that everytime the ball got out by a Man.utd player, the ball was given to Man.ud as well... Talk about confusing...&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3366ff;"&gt;So this saturday, Newcastle vs Portsmouth on Monday, 27th April at St. James Stadium so I'm expecting Portsmouth not to repeat their mistake the last time the Magpies vs them. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5628423508101894972-4873663220436941629?l=growingupfootball.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://growingupfootball.blogspot.com/feeds/4873663220436941629/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5628423508101894972&amp;postID=4873663220436941629' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5628423508101894972/posts/default/4873663220436941629'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5628423508101894972/posts/default/4873663220436941629'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://growingupfootball.blogspot.com/2009/04/manchester-united-2-0-portsmouth-it.html' title='Manchester United 2-0 Portsmouth: It could&apos;ve been worser'/><author><name>NK Nika</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01587400921013377705</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='19' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_o0GrwDZ5bYA/SQX3jx1TzGI/AAAAAAAAAVE/VcdS5_qYIjo/S220/NK+Nika_wall2wall.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_o0GrwDZ5bYA/Se-mySBq6II/AAAAAAAAAyI/WEmeH5SeJzo/s72-c/vs+Man.utd+2.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5628423508101894972.post-6106071765237357176</id><published>2009-04-19T07:33:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-04-19T08:40:34.802-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Portsmouth 1-0 Bolton Wanderers: away from relegation zone</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;It was victory at Fratton Park when Belhadj scored the winning goal after the injury of Niko Kranjcar which lead Portsmouth with 37 points away from the relegation zone. Three points were geathered by Portsmouth at those points are very important hence for next game with Manchester United. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3366ff;"&gt;In the first half Portsmouth's side were mostly attacking bringing the ball forward and send a couple of crosses but it seems Bolton's defending isn't easy to break. There were few corners as well and mostly the delivers aren't helping Portsmouth getting a goal or two. A lot of Bolton players such as Elmander and Gardner brought the ball forward creating spaces as well but it was very hard to pass the keeper. Few minutes after the kick off Gardner picked up an injury which the commentators kept on saying a hamstring (I'm not pretty sure as well) brought bad luck to the Bolton side since Gardner was badly injuredand force to leave the pitch. Last person who touched Gardner was Mullins but to me, It wasn't his fault though.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;I'm not really sure but Hermann and Davies seem to fight on field a lot. The fought back at Fratton Park as well and the commentators said they fought until both earned red cards a few seasons ago. In the first match between Portsmouth and Bolton this season, Hermann and Davies fought too. Maybe they are...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3366ff;"&gt;Anyway tragedy hits Portsmouth at the second half as Niko Kranjcar got an injury which looks worse than ever... Paramedics came, examine and decided to bring a strecther and carries Kranjcar to the locker room, leaving Belhadj as a substitution for the injured Croat. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 318px; height: 389px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_o0GrwDZ5bYA/SetFc9HGixI/AAAAAAAAAxw/BK9ydQF8cKI/s400/vs_bolton2.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5326427348038748946" /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;The game started again and it was a corner won by Portsmouth. Supposely Kranjcar would kick it but now it's Belhadj to the job.  He positioned the ball and kicked it right after the referee's whistle. The ball curved and it went pass the net! It's still a mistery on who goaled. Kanu or Belhadj. If the ball deflected by Kanu before or after the ball went in. But what people know the exact thing is that's a goal.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 391px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_o0GrwDZ5bYA/SetFc3tb25I/AAAAAAAAAx4/nFtW7Ioq9jg/s400/vs_bolton.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5326427346588916626" /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3366ff;"&gt;So next match is with the one of the giants. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Manchester United&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3366ff;"&gt; vs Portsmouth at Old Trafford.

Anyway I know it's been a long time but I just want to recap.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3366ff;"&gt;Portsmouth vs Everton. Pompey won and I'm very delighted. It was Portsmouth with 3 points at Fratton Park and Crouchie goal twice with his superb header. Portsmouth's points: 32&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;Hull City vs Portsmouth. It was a tie. nil nil with no goals in KC Stadium.

It was a tie with Kaboul's first goal winning Portsmouth the lead but then West Brom hits back with Greening's goal from short range. Another goal by WBA was from Brunt which wins the lead. The game was not over with Niko Kranjcar's superb free kick which lead the ball to the top corner and equlise for Portsmouth. Points: 34&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#333399;"&gt;Deportivo La Coruna in 8th place now without me watching some matches by them.

Wait, if you want to, go ahead. I'll enjoy reading it. I won't reply though.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffcccc;"&gt;So here goes. Trends all over the world are uncountable. There is a huge vorieties of trends on&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color:#ffcc99;"&gt;Earth and a lot of Teenagers follow them. That's not really the problem. KIDS as well... Kids are&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color:#ffff99;"&gt;little people who are suppose to be... Childish, fun, smart and active on learning or something like&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color:#ffffcc;"&gt;that. They're purpose are staying in school to learn about a lot of useful things. But once reach to&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color:#99ff99;"&gt;teenager hood, it's different. It's okay to do this or that. You're a teen and teens are approve to&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color:#99ffff;"&gt;follow trends. School had been difficult so they do this to release all that. They're too old for video&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color:#ccffff;"&gt;games and Barbie doll and too young fot beer or parties. So in the end, they just follow trends&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color:#ccccff;"&gt;and it's okay. Kids don't.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffccff;"&gt;What to know why? Kids are too young to understand this and that. what are trends? Are they&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color:#ff6666;"&gt;all the same? Are they educational? Are they what everybody do these days? Questions like&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color:#ff9966;"&gt;these never run in children's minds so the way they know is to follow these so-called trends.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;Since teens knows what they're doing, kids just follow what teens do. So next time when Dad or&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color:#ffff33;"&gt;Mon says 'example you older siblings', just DON'T&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#66ff99;"&gt;What's the annoying part? Well, imagine, a kid said 'I'm so preppy' but the kid can't even own an&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color:#33ffff;"&gt;Armani Code or as simple as a Valentino Vess or something simple like a Burberry shoe. It that&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color:#66ffff;"&gt;cool? That's stupid. Flat-boring stupid. Or another kid wearing a white short-sleeved shirt with a&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color:#9999ff;"&gt;pink pants saying something like 'I'm so emo today...', What the hell it that!?! That's a mess,&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color:#ff99ff;"&gt;that's a true dissapointment to all emos out there.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Running up to a kid as the kid took a picture of herself and did a claw-like hand and yells&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color:#ff9900;"&gt;'rawrrr!!!' or something like that is stereo-typing the scenes. It's not COOL, okay? I ran to this&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color:#ffcc66;"&gt;kid once in the Whudu room. We talked a bit. She said something like 'I like mohawk hair like&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color:#ffff00;"&gt;how the emos do it. It's so rad!!', one question, WHAT EMO IS MOWAHK? I mean they mistake&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color:#33ff33;"&gt;emo with punk, which is wrong!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#66cccc;"&gt;To be honest, I hate these people, KIDS. I'm okay with teens but kids? They disgust the trend&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color:#33ccff;"&gt;world. I don't even like trends and I'm not following them. It's not that I don't like it, trends are&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color:#6666cc;"&gt;cool, trends are awesome, trends are well formed but I don't want to, thank you. So kids out&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color:#cc66cc;"&gt;there, don't think being like that is cool, awesome, rad, wicked, or whatever you guys linggoed it,&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;it's not. Trust me, the best time is being a kid.

It was pathetic that Man.utd can only goal by a penalty kick only and the fact that Ronaldo's the one who goaled the penalty and open goal but who cares anyway? Liverpool won and it is a massive game to predict! Even if Man.Utd is still on top, last EPL games should be fun like this. I mean hands-down Man.utd's gonna win so what the hell. Knocked in one or two goals even if the team lost EPL. I'm just worried about Pompey now...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;It was a 1-4 at Old Trafford and I just couldn't snap myself out thinking if it's true. It was Ronaldo's 'so-called' amazing kick which led the ball in the net pass through Pepe Reina as an open goal. Fernanado Torres made an equalizer after that by goaling a one-to-one goal with going to the right and knock the ball the the left bottom corner of the goal leaving Van Der Sar dissapointed. 3rd goal was a penalty which Steven Gerrard kicked the ball to the right bottom corner and goaled. It was a lucky shot cause Van Der Sar was already defending where the ball go. 1-2 in first half.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cccccc;"&gt;2nd half, Aulerio scored the first goal in the 2nd half by a world class free kick, kicking the ball up and heads the right top corner of the net without Van Der Sar even moving.  The crouds then got a tad depress watching Gerrard kicking the ball on the wrong  direction, 'It should've been 1-4 that time' and I think that's what the supporters would say. Just wait and there's the last goal which made 1-4. Dossena goaled by kicking the ball at the right top corner of the goal post, leaving Van Der Sar still not moving.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;It was an amazing win for Liverpool but a terrible lost for Man.Utd but MU is still on top.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 377px; height: 115px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_o0GrwDZ5bYA/Sbxui-eGTDI/AAAAAAAAAxA/ejbTiGHy_II/s400/Smile.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5313243207554190386" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;As everyone is happy dancing around, Pompey hold only one point leaving Riverside Stadium with a dissapointing feeling. Yes, I'm as well dissapointed by Pompey, Heck the whole world is dissapointed. We lost 3 points and it's very upsetting. If we went to Dubai with a result like this, we won't go anywhere. People around the world expect more from Pompey and this is what we do letting down millions of supporters, traveling very far just to watch us claiming 1 point only? NO! Training around the world won't make us stronger. The way we train is more important! &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3366ff;"&gt;I know that we had a lot of chance and I know it's hard to goal like that but please, pull yourself together and try to knock a goal to save Pompey. At least another goal or so. If we want to make it the best then try to get away from the relegation zone. If we tried hard enough and train more on goaling then that won't be a problem. Now it's a very bad time to play around. Pompey's on the verge of dropping devisions. This isn't really good now it is? It was lovely that Peter Crouch goaled in the first half and I do agree that it was a wonderful goal but it meant nothing when it's only a tie. It's a terrible feeling anyway...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 230px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_o0GrwDZ5bYA/SbxuizFm-fI/AAAAAAAAAxI/cxkXhNSNcro/s400/Smile2.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5313243204498684402" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5628423508101894972-4129147422725260568?l=growingupfootball.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://growingupfootball.blogspot.com/feeds/4129147422725260568/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5628423508101894972&amp;postID=4129147422725260568' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5628423508101894972/posts/default/4129147422725260568'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5628423508101894972/posts/default/4129147422725260568'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://growingupfootball.blogspot.com/2009/03/amazing-win-at-old-trafford-but.html' title='Amazing win at Old Trafford but dissapointing from Riverside'/><author><name>NK Nika</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01587400921013377705</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='19' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_o0GrwDZ5bYA/SQX3jx1TzGI/AAAAAAAAAVE/VcdS5_qYIjo/S220/NK+Nika_wall2wall.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_o0GrwDZ5bYA/Sbxui-eGTDI/AAAAAAAAAxA/ejbTiGHy_II/s72-c/Smile.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5628423508101894972.post-2560751227623240008</id><published>2009-03-08T22:11:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-03-08T22:38:55.070-07:00</updated><title type='text'>How embarrassing...</title><content type='html'>&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Get this...

It was my first live match since I was 5! Sitting on the hard blue seat again felt amazing. We've arrived there a tad late, missing the first goal that Woodlands scored but things started to change when DPMM scored few minutes later!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;I'm not sure who goaled or at which minute but it was a header! A header by a group of DPMM players and the ball passed the keeper. An amazing atmosphere was around the stadium when the ball went inside the net. Everyone was cheering and was satisfied with the equalizer.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"&gt;But things started to change people's exictement to frustration when a heavy rain ruined the nice weather at the second half break. Half of the crowd left the stadium unable to stay with the game - including us. I felt a bit unhappy leaving so soon. We bought some chicken wings before heading to the car. Dad parked the car far away from the stadium, forcing us to walk far with the rain getting heavier. I was unhappy but in the same time satisfied, enjoying the rain while walking. It was my first game and I was happy even if I have to leave in the second half.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;We arrived at the car wet and feeling cold. The car's air-conditioner made the situation worser but good thing my sister shared her jacket with me. Dad turned on the radio while driving. Me, enjoying the chicken wings hearing DPMM blew their chance on the first penalty. I felt a bit worried, thinking that that's the only chance DPMM have. I was wrong, celebrating the last and winning goal after hearing that DPMM won the penalty.Best match I've ever been to...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5628423508101894972-7519098366566554414?l=growingupfootball.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://growingupfootball.blogspot.com/feeds/7519098366566554414/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5628423508101894972&amp;postID=7519098366566554414' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5628423508101894972/posts/default/7519098366566554414'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5628423508101894972/posts/default/7519098366566554414'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://growingupfootball.blogspot.com/2009/03/dpmm-2-1-woodlands-fc-victory-at.html' title='DPMM 2-1 Woodlands FC: Victory at Hassanal Bolkiah Stadium!'/><author><name>NK Nika</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01587400921013377705</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='19' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_o0GrwDZ5bYA/SQX3jx1TzGI/AAAAAAAAAVE/VcdS5_qYIjo/S220/NK+Nika_wall2wall.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5628423508101894972.post-7417293114760154971</id><published>2009-03-05T02:25:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-03-05T02:58:10.207-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Academy lost to Southampton, drew with Fulham and lost to Arsenal academy</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_o0GrwDZ5bYA/Sa-voVQ_WTI/AAAAAAAAAwg/W9rLKPVbBtQ/s1600-h/ndr.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer;

I didn't watch the match and I felt so bad and guilty. What kind of fan am I? I didn't even watch a damn simple match like that. It was live at 4am in Brunei but the only games premiered was Liverpool and Arsenal. Pompey was after that and it was played around 6am and I have to miss it for school. I should've been absent that time. You can revise again and again about school stuff cause you got the text book but football... That's the last match premiered on the TV and I have to missed it. I feel pathetic now...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;Dad didn't even let me watch it also. FUCK ASTRO FOR GOD SAKE!!! I don't care how many fucking times I fucked Astro but I still can't accept it. Why the fuck premiere Arsenal!?! They can't win EPL anymore so why watch? Plus, it's ODVIOUS that they ARE going to win!!! West Brom? BAH! ANYONE CAN BEAT THEM!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Chelsea and Portsmouth's managers are sacked few weeks ago and anxiously trying to test their new manager/caretaker. IS IT SO HARD TO PREMIERE THAT!?! MALAYSIAN! CAN'T YOU GET THAT IN YOUR THICK SKULLS!?! I KNOW that all of you so-called humans all adore Man.utd but why can't you 'MALAYSIANS' just stop thinking about that crappy fact and THINK football, NOT Man.utd. So busy thinking about Man.utd and can't get your thick skulls into football? Fucking wankers!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;Brunei seriously NEED to buy cable from Singapore.

Pompey did well as shit and the Reff's a fucked-up cunt to give the penalty! Fuck the dumbass reff! Johnson's hand didn't even reach the ball! It wasn't a handball, you cunt! He chested the ball bitch! A very poor decision by the dumbass reff! I'll jail the Reff if I'm the president of England!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;So the match ended up with a tie thanks to the dumbass reff. I still think Pompey deserve the 3 points. They've worked so hard through the match but The Stokes are given WHAT-OTHERS-CALLED-ONE-POINT from the match. I think the Penalty was a mistake. Pompey deserve all 3 points and I do agree with the Commentators.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1-2 would be a great score by the end of the match. I don't mind the second goal by the Stokes. It's fair as fuck and Pompey did an error. But the first one's a letdown. I don't hate the Stokes but I hate the unexperience Reff.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;First goal and leading was Pompey's Niko Kranjcar and assist by Nugent. He kicked the ball from 12 yards away from the goalpost and scored from the bottom left of the goal. Second was the stupid penalty/equalizer by the Stokes, third and leading was Stokes' Pugh and last and equalize was an owngoal by the Stokes' defender.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm still mad about the reff' stupid decision and Johnson was right complaining about it in the end of the match but it's too late.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;release stress:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_o0GrwDZ5bYA/SaIuSTATM-I/AAAAAAAAAu4/Db1fPpkP3gA/s1600-h/Pompey.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 395px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_o0GrwDZ5bYA/SaIuSTATM-I/AAAAAAAAAu4/Db1fPpkP3gA/s400/Pompey.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5305854202869920738" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kranjcar: "get a taste of my super kick!!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_o0GrwDZ5bYA/SaIuSq0MruI/AAAAAAAAAvA/oWkoS06tvDU/s1600-h/Pompey-2.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 321px; height: 393px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_o0GrwDZ5bYA/SaIuSq0MruI/AAAAAAAAAvA/oWkoS06tvDU/s400/Pompey-2.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5305854209261612770" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;Crouch: "Did the ball hit me?

First win of Pompey in 2009!... why do I sound so happy? This is February and they just won? I'll blame it all on Tony Adams. Good thing he's already sacked and now the caretaker, Paul Hart AT LEAST earn Pompey POINTS. Not like Tony Adams who can't even win any points for Pompey even to a team that just got to Premier League.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_o0GrwDZ5bYA/SZ4JsXlFpCI/AAAAAAAAAuo/ztkJuDBapvs/s1600-h/Blo2.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 319px; height: 393px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_o0GrwDZ5bYA/SZ4JsXlFpCI/AAAAAAAAAuo/ztkJuDBapvs/s400/Blo2.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5304688068937491490" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;So anyway back to the match, Johnson scored in the first half opening the first goal of the game and lead Pompey. He shoots the ball but hits Given, Manchester City's keeper and the ball bounce back at him, he dribbled a bit, shoot and score from 12 yards away from the goal post.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;Johnson's goal is followed by Hermann Hreidarsson and sealed the three points when Hreidarsson scored by he's header to the net in 12 yards away from the net.

Crouch have to make use of he's height and try to head the ball in more this time. Kranjcar didn't do so well in the match and he have to improve in passing and dribbling.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;So tomorrow is Portsmouth against Stoke City or should I say The Potters in the night time, Diportivo La Coruna against Valencia and Sporting Mallorca.

A normal injury could be possible but I'm not going to x-ray it and not interested as well. I wanted it to heal by itself. I don't like hospitals.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;How I got the injury?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;How it feels like?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;Which shoulder?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;When I'll be back.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, I was back from religious school and you guys know how boring we intend to feel so I just turn on the Nintendo Wii and thought I would enjoy a one or two game of tennis. It was easy at first but as I'm facing more tough players it started to get intense. In the end I stopped and have a break. When I lifted up my mug, my hand feels like it's soulless. Now I can move it but it hurts like my hand is about to fall off.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;It feels like hell dudes. If you want to experience the same thing as me then be sure to do something like me but I recommend DON'T. Reason why footballers could handle injuries like this is because they are paid to broke their bones.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm a left hand player so I hurt my left hand. It's hard cause things started to get painful to do house-work.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;I'm not sure when I'll be on. It hurts just typing these words.

However, the former Spain striker failed to score the goal he needed to take his career tally to 308 and become the powerhouse's all-time topscorer ahead of the great Alfredo Di Stefano.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"&gt;Meanwhile, Madrid goalkeeper Iker Casillas was playing his 454th official match, equaling the club record set by Paco Buyo in the 1980s and 90s.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);"&gt;In Saturday's late game, second-half goals by Sergio Garcia and Ricardo Oliveira brought Real Betis a 2-1 win over Sevilla, its first victory in 13 years at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan Stadium of its crosstown rival.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"&gt;Barcelona has 56 points, Madrid 47, and Sevilla stayed in third with 38.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);"&gt;Also on Sunday, off-form Atletico Madrid aims to improve under new coach Abel Resino, who replaced the fired Javier Aguirre this week, when it visits Recreativo Huelva.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"&gt;Other games are: Malaga versus Almeria; Valladolid versus Athletic Bilbao; Getafe versus Espanyol; Villarreal versus Numancia; Mallorca versus Deportivo La Coruna; and Osasuna versus Valencia.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);"&gt;Madrid has taken 21 out a possible 24 points since Juande Ramos replaced fired coach Bernd Schuster last December, although the team had to resist a late charge by Santander to achieve this latest victory.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"&gt;"I think we had enough chances to score a second goal ... but when it didn't come the nerves appeared. The positive thing is that the team didn't concede any goals and we've got three points more," Ramos was quoted as saying by news agency Efe.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);"&gt;While Madrid dominated the first half, with Sergio Ramos and Arjen Robben almost opening the scoring, Casillas tipped over a drive by Santander forward Jonathan Pereira in the 40th minute.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"&gt;Santander players left the field in angry mood at halftime just after Pereira appeared to be kicked on the ground by Madrid defender Gabriel Heinze after being pushed over by his teammate Pepe. Referee Carlos Clos Gomez took no action against either Madrid player.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);"&gt;Madrid's recent signing from West Ham, winger Julien Faubert, replaced Robben in the 61st minute to make his debut and four minutes later Pereira spurned a chance to equalize by slicing his shot well wide of Casillas' left post.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"&gt;Casillas then dived to frustrate Pereira again in the 74th although the Madrid goalkeeper was forced to watch nervously as the ball bounced off Pepe and almost into his goal.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);"&gt;Betis' Garcia swivelled to make contact with a long, floated kick from defender Juan (Melli) Andreu in the 70th minute to send Sevilla on its way to third straight league defeat.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"&gt;A minute earlier, Sevilla midfielder Aldo Duscher received his second yellow card and was ejected from a characteristically fierce local derby.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);"&gt;Brazil international Oliveira, who was playing his first game since recently rejoining Betis from second-division Zaragoza, added the second goal by firing an angled shot through the legs of goalkeeper Andres Palop 13 minutes later. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"&gt;Sevilla striker Frederic Kanoute reduced the deficit in injury time when he headed home from defender Fernando Navarro's cross from the left.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);"&gt;While the match between the rivals from the Andalusian city has in the past been marred by crowd violence, there were no reports of trouble this time.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_o0GrwDZ5bYA/SY5LPLeUOBI/AAAAAAAAAto/cK7m6xYmzgI/s1600-h/Torpido.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 269px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_o0GrwDZ5bYA/SY5LPLeUOBI/AAAAAAAAAto/cK7m6xYmzgI/s400/Torpido.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5300256535611717650" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"&gt;Pereira can torpedo people like hell.

They were all great goals too, I particularly enjoyed the second, the ball seemed to move in slow motion almost.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Villarreal were dead and buried but they were at least handed the chance to restore some pride with a dubious-looking penalty as Mati Fernandez went down under the challenge of Alberto Lopo on 74 minutes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;However, it mattered little as the returning Aranzubia beat away Senna’s spot-kick to keep his own clean-sheet intact and to maintain the charge for Europe. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Juan Carlos Valeron got a huge cheer before the match too, when his name was called out.

They've improved so much but still with the errors. It was a strange atmosphere at home though. I was the only one supporting Portsmouth since my family are supporting the Reds so it wasn't a nice celebration but I can live with it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;Well done to be honest. Liverpool is a tough team which defend well but aren't they are well in attacking. I got to say they follow their mood.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was a 0-0 at first half so it really makes me expect more than just 1. I was right anyway~ First goal was by Pompey's David Nugent who celebrate his second goal at 62' but Liverpool crash the lead with Ourelio's goal at 69'. Pompey seem to lead again with Hermann's goal from a set piece followed by his header &amp;amp; into the net. I got to say Reina did a horrible move to miss that. Hermann's ball is as easy as catching a fallen feather. But still, well done by Hermann. At that point I thought the Iceland man has put the ice on top of the game but then Liverpool equalized &amp;amp; lead at the last minute by Dirk Kuyt &amp;amp; Fernando Verdasco... Wait!! What the hell is up with Verdasco? Get back to tennis... I mean Fernando Torres.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;To me it's an unsatisfying match eventhough Pompey did well. I didn't really accept Torres' goal. It's really late to make Liverpool on top again. Portsmouth deserve something and I think it's 1 point because in history, there's not a team that didn't win for 11 matches and delivers that kind of game with PL's top 4 &amp;amp; also manage by Tony Adams. They do deserve something.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm proud of the fans as well. The atmosphere is amazing but Pompey's cheer unable to make Pompey themselves wake up and shoot another goal. It was a 2-3 lost at Fratton Park &amp;amp; Liverpool steals the top table of EPL.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_o0GrwDZ5bYA/SY5CiIqNZbI/AAAAAAAAAtg/QS7bns5qkVI/s1600-h/Nuge.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 316px; height: 392px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_o0GrwDZ5bYA/SY5CiIqNZbI/AAAAAAAAAtg/QS7bns5qkVI/s400/Nuge.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5300246965669160370" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;You did well Nuge.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5628423508101894972-5652202027198714146?l=growingupfootball.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://growingupfootball.blogspot.com/feeds/5652202027198714146/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5628423508101894972&amp;postID=5652202027198714146' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5628423508101894972/posts/default/5652202027198714146'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5628423508101894972/posts/default/5652202027198714146'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://growingupfootball.blogspot.com/2009/02/portsmouth-2-3-liverpool-best-response.html' title='Portsmouth 2-3 Liverpool: Best response after 11 unwinning games'/><author><name>NK Nika</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01587400921013377705</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='19' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_o0GrwDZ5bYA/SQX3jx1TzGI/AAAAAAAAAVE/VcdS5_qYIjo/S220/NK+Nika_wall2wall.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_o0GrwDZ5bYA/SY5CiIqNZbI/AAAAAAAAAtg/QS7bns5qkVI/s72-c/Nuge.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5628423508101894972.post-2529618717116398477</id><published>2009-02-05T19:02:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-02-05T19:17:18.051-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Good news for Niko</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Niko Kranjcar picked up an a groin injury against Tottenham Hotspurs and he is now claimed to be back training.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;The 24-year-old midfielder will be x-ray today but i'm not sure what's the result.

&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;are in serious danger of relegation after a nightmare run of results under new manager Tony Adams.

The conditions there isn't as nice as it was when Harry Redknapp was the manager. Portsmouth is experiencing doomsday for now. The only thing to put smiles to Pompey is to sack Adams. I'm sorry but that's just the way it is. Pompey is a talented team with amazing players. They never drop from 7th to 16th or something but I'm still happy the players are still holding on to Pompey.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;(revealed that he turned down the opportunity to sign for Barcelona during the January transfer window.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;Strange decision: Nadir Belhadj turned down Barcelona.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;The Algerian international arrived at Fratton Park on loan at the start of the season, and was contacted about a move to the Nou Camp last month.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;However, he instead opted to complete a permanent deal at Fratton Park in the hope of playing first team football on a more regular basis.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;'Barcelona? My agent was contacted during the winter transfer window,' the 26-year-old told Aujourd'hui Sport. &lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;'They wanted to prepare for the departure of Sylvinho and (Eric) Abidal was injured.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;'It was very attractive, but I want to play.

Portsmouth lost AGAIN for the third time in a row and they don't improve even if they're knocked down bits by bits. So many errors! Passing errors, defensive errors, midfield errors and striking errors. WHAT HAPPENED ADAMS? One goal won't make a difference Adams!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;I can't believe it. The winner of 2008 FA Cup performed like this? I am very upset with Portsmouth and their performance. If they can't do any better then this than who was the FA Cup winners in 2008? Who lifted up the FA Cup trophy in 2008 and who did we, the fans, cheer for when Portsmouth goal the winning goal at the FA Cup's final with Cardiff City? PORTSMOUTH of course!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If Adams turned winners into a team that seems like they just got to Premier League from second division then stop managing and start finding someone more potential to handle Portsmouth. Why hasn't it concern Adams that Portsmouth's last victory in Premier League was in 30th November, 2008.

Since Djokovic lost to Roddick &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 255, 0);"&gt;6:7|6:4|6:2|2:1&lt;/span&gt;,I've been hoping Verdasco to win this Australian Open instead of the two 'famous people'(Nadal &amp;amp; Federer) but my hopes were smashed down by Nadal's win &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 255, 0);"&gt;6:7|6:4|7:6|6:7|6:4&lt;/span&gt;.

To me most of Verdasco's win was amazing. The way he hits the ball to the ground and most of it drops near the corner of the line. He's amazing but his time to shine ended there.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But for all of your attention I won't be watching the final because I'm not a bit fan of Nadal and of course Federer so hope you guys enjoy the final.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_o0GrwDZ5bYA/SYMftpL6QGI/AAAAAAAAAsI/I2qgWi-KcNQ/s1600-h/Nadal.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_o0GrwDZ5bYA/SYMftpL6QGI/AAAAAAAAAsI/I2qgWi-KcNQ/s400/Nadal.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5297112455728218210" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 255, 153);"&gt;Rafael Nadal of Spain falls to the ground after winning match point in his semifinal match against Fernando Verdasco of Spain during day twelve.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 255, 153);"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_o0GrwDZ5bYA/SYM6ijY-FjI/AAAAAAAAAsQ/3pZs1f7pdoY/s400/Verdasco.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5297141952007771698" /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 255, 153);"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 255, 153);"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 255, 153);"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffffff;"&gt;Great play Fernando Verdasco&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5628423508101894972-887989565782227556?l=growingupfootball.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://growingupfootball.blogspot.com/feeds/887989565782227556/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5628423508101894972&amp;postID=887989565782227556' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5628423508101894972/posts/default/887989565782227556'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5628423508101894972/posts/default/887989565782227556'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://growingupfootball.blogspot.com/2009/01/rafael-nadal-vs-fernando-verdasco-worth.html' title='Rafael Nadal vs Fernando Verdasco: worth watching for 5 hours 14 minutes'/><author><name>NK Nika</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01587400921013377705</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='19' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_o0GrwDZ5bYA/SQX3jx1TzGI/AAAAAAAAAVE/VcdS5_qYIjo/S220/NK+Nika_wall2wall.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_o0GrwDZ5bYA/SYMftpL6QGI/AAAAAAAAAsI/I2qgWi-KcNQ/s72-c/Nadal.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5628423508101894972.post-1588046026033034030</id><published>2009-01-28T02:36:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-01-28T02:43:03.788-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Saviola and Emeson to join Pompey.</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Javier Saviola will join Portsmouth on loan&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;Argentine international Javier Saviola is set to join Portsmouth on loan.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Saviola has snubbed offers from Newcastle and Everton after being persuaded by boss Tony Adams to help out the south coast club in their relegation fight.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;The 27-year-old will watch Portsmouth's Premier League home game with Aston Villa from the Fratton Park stands before sealing a six-month deal.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Saviola becomes Portsmouth's sixth signing of the January window and follows the captures of West Ham midfielder Hayden Mullins and Porto youngster Pele.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;Manager Adams, who admits looking at 150 players, said: 'I would still like a midfielder and a striker and hopefully we can get them in this week.

Things were doing well against Spurs but I don't know what to say after their lost in the FA Cup.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So many errors from Pompey eventhough it was a 0-1. Pompey deserve something from the match but I guess a four clover didn't grow at Fratton Park for Pompey that night. Belhadj did so many errors that night and I suspect that before Pompey drew with Spurs. His first yellow card was suppose to be a red card from my view. He kicked the Aston Villa guy at the ankle like it's the ball. Just like the commentator said 'he did a disgusting tackle'. My thoughts were answer when he claim another yellow card by a handball that he made in the second half. He deserve to have a red card anyway.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;Defense are really low that night until Aston Villa shot the ball and goal but I adore Pompey's defense than Diportivo La Coruna. Just that night Pompey didn't do well. Striking isn't well either for Pompey. Peter Crouch actually have a chance that time but made a bad mistake.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As for Aston Villa, Agbonlahor did a terrible mistake letting that kind of chance go. It was a one-on-one but he blow that chance and did a stupid dicision and shot not even close to the goalpost.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;The way I see it Pompey could improve by letting Wilson play instead of Belhadj. He needs more practise on passing and accurasy. Not that I hate him, it's just that he needs practise.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Defense is low and I can see that. It should be more than 2 people at the back and I guarantee that Pompey will stay in the game if defenders defend the other team's strikers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;Midfield is wasting their time passing. I was thinking if they waste their time passing, other teams might steal the ball from them and defenders might move up just to pass the ball at each other leaving their side empty without defenders. Why don't the defenders just stick to defending the strikers and midfield, just kick the ball to the strikers.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Strikers should work on heading and accurasy and try to score in more angles instead of one angle that is the top bar. Small chances are available if they kept doing that. Plus, try to improve shooting with both foot instead of the foot they are used to. Trying this might work.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;I'm recommending this position:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;4-3-3&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Johnson, Campbell, Distin, wilson, Pennant, Davis, Mullins, Kanu, Crouch, Nugent.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_o0GrwDZ5bYA/SYAyI6iyDpI/AAAAAAAAAqw/brB62rLurXQ/s1600-h/nk-1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer;

But we wanted them here in time to beat Monday's mid-day deadline to play against Aston Villa.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Tony and I decided to move for Hayden on Saturday night. We got hold of West Ham on Sunday morning and I think they were a bit surprised that we wanted to get the deal done so quickly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;"Hayden's an experienced player who has played exceptionally well against us in the past. He's a guy with immense experience in the Premier League, and that's what we need in this situation.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"He wanted regular football because he's been in and out of the West Ham side. We've been very successful getting players in who've wanted regular football and then blossomed for us when they've been given it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;"Pele's an exciting young talent. He did well for Inter before joining Porto. But there was a change of manager at Porto who switched it around a bit and the boy was desperate to move.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"He's an expensive player, so it's a deal with an option to buy so we can both have a look at each other. It's very similar to what we did with Nadir Belhadj.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;"We hope he'll do very, very well.

What the fuck is wrong with you!?! So what Portsmouth lost and get their butts kicked off the FA cup! It's Portsmouth not Manchester United, you shit face. You talk as if Portsmouth is at the same level as Manchester United. Portsmouth is nothing more than below West Ham United. They don't have "amazing-tough-awesome" players like Manchester United does. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Plus you talk as if I'm the manager of Portsmouth! I don't manage Portsmouth thank you! You should say something to their manager, Tony Adams instead of me. I don't have anything to do with Portsmouth to improve them. If I do I'll gladly do it!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt; And also, a lot of Pompey players are injured and under Portsmouth care right now so what the fuck should Tony Adams do!?! FORCE THEM TO PLAY!?! Look, Portsmouth is having a tough time right now, not like Manchester United who is relaxing like hell waiting until Champions league, FA cup and Premier league to end and they got the trophies ready to take. Where the fuck is your brain huh? Plus are you even a fan of FOOTBALL? Because you think as if football is easy as shit and you talk as if football doesn't lose any sweat. you're still a kid. Grow up and talk like a PROFESSIONAL then talk to me about it!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One more thing! Have a happy Chinese new year, my friend. Have a great holiday.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;  Sincerely,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;                  NK Nika&lt;br /&gt;                 (Atikah Farhain Bte Hj Yahya)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;Okay back to business. Portsmouth let us down and they get kicked out of FA cup. I felt really bad about this week. From bad to terrible and to worse, but I still support Portsmouth and I'm still holding on to the team. Just because of FA cup I won't stop supporting. I still cheer and chant, hope and predict, shed tears and depressed for the one and only team, Portsmouth. I'll hold on until the day I die. Supporting a team as Portsmouth is more than wearing the jersey and watch the match. Supporting Portsmouth is like holding a soul you let go when you die. To me that's Portsmouth.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Once you wear the logo, you can't forget that you are once a Pompey fan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;You can't forget the way they play and you can't forget every goal from Pompey.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Season by season, money flies watching the Pompey game,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;Cheering, chanting, praying and crying,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;to the team you support and the team you grow up with,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;Play up Pompey, Pompey play up,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Play up Pompey, Pompey play up,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;Cheering those words with proud and joy,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;watching them with eager and praying with meanings.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;Smiles withdraw supporter's faces when Pompey win,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tears shed from Pompey's fans when Pompey lost,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;But we fans still hold on to Pompey,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Because we are fans and we walk along with Pompey,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;Through the light pavement that shines so bright,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That only Portsmouth fans can see with harmony.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;By NK Nika.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5628423508101894972-6460012652022931734?l=growingupfootball.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://growingupfootball.blogspot.com/feeds/6460012652022931734/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5628423508101894972&amp;postID=6460012652022931734' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5628423508101894972/posts/default/6460012652022931734'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5628423508101894972/posts/default/6460012652022931734'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://growingupfootball.blogspot.com/2009/01/portsmouth-0-2-swansea-city-not-good.html' title='Portsmouth 0-2 Swansea City: Not good enough'/><author><name>NK Nika</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01587400921013377705</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='19' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_o0GrwDZ5bYA/SQX3jx1TzGI/AAAAAAAAAVE/VcdS5_qYIjo/S220/NK+Nika_wall2wall.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5628423508101894972.post-4928144295253700225</id><published>2009-01-24T03:24:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-01-24T03:36:30.763-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Kranjcar sidelined</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Portsmouth midfielder Niko Kranjcar looks set for a lengthy absence after tearing a groin muscle.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;The Croatia international, 24, missed the beginning of the season following an ankle operation and has made only 10 starts this season.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"It looks a bad one and we'll miss him for what I believe will be quite a while," said Pompey boss Tony Adams.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_o0GrwDZ5bYA/SXr82kVrPkI/AAAAAAAAAqg/kjzo4uV5Xxo/s1600-h/3688306626-soccer-barclays-premier-league-chelsea-v-portsmouth-stamford-bridge.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_o0GrwDZ5bYA/SXr82kVrPkI/AAAAAAAAAqg/kjzo4uV5Xxo/s400/3688306626-soccer-barclays-premier-league-chelsea-v-portsmouth-stamford-bridge.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5294822326325165634" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.football.co.uk/portsmouth/kranjcar_injury_blow_for_pompey_rss12630.shtml"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;original is here.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nika:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;I've heard a bad news yesterday and now a worse news the next following day.

Staying in Pompey won't make a difference for him I guess.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;To be honest, where ever he moves, I'm always there to support him and will always be there to cheer and to chant for him. He made me support Portsmouth and seeing him leaving makes me felt sad.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm not a person who support a team with Kranjcar on it. I'll still support Portsmouth as always and support Kranjcar (not the team Kranjcar's in). I don't really know what to say after this so I guess till now... &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5628423508101894972-8664815880038003104?l=growingupfootball.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://growingupfootball.blogspot.com/feeds/8664815880038003104/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5628423508101894972&amp;postID=8664815880038003104' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5628423508101894972/posts/default/8664815880038003104'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5628423508101894972/posts/default/8664815880038003104'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://growingupfootball.blogspot.com/2009/01/kranjcar-expects-summer-exit.html' title='Kranjcar expects summer exit'/><author><name>NK Nika</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01587400921013377705</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='19' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_o0GrwDZ5bYA/SQX3jx1TzGI/AAAAAAAAAVE/VcdS5_qYIjo/S220/NK+Nika_wall2wall.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_o0GrwDZ5bYA/SXnVO3y28OI/AAAAAAAAAqY/DyCJEB-7ztE/s72-c/400x400_NikoKranjcarNew4.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5628423508101894972.post-732964773411399267</id><published>2009-01-22T21:06:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-01-22T21:28:17.654-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Amer Belic vs Novak Djokovic</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;It was victory to Djokovic at the Australian open that morning.

I should really be sorry for updating my blog late. I got school and also few days of internet problems so I hope you guys forgive me for updating too late.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;So about the match, very well played I inspect. Both teams are in great mood and well position and I see no wrong in the match. Even if Portsmouth draw with Tottenham I'm still okay with it. The two of them played well and they deserve what they deserve.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First half was interesting. Davis was caught tackling Roman Pavluchenko and Roman picked up an injury with a stretcher picking him up from the field. He'll be out for a few weeks I think. It really looks bad to be honest. 3 or 4 months I think. At least 1 month. Sean Davis own a yellow card after the bad tackle. Pavluchenko was replaced by Darren Bent.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;At 43 minutes, King was injured and was replaced by Dawson. I don't really remember why king was injured.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Half time: Tottenham 0 Portsmouth 0&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;Half time and neither both of the teams are changing any players and in this second half, goals are starting to appear. David Nugent puts Portsmouth ahead with a goal from some distance and shot to the left side of the goal post. Few minutes later, former Portsmouth player goaled for Spurs and put it to 1-1 until the end. Jermain Dafoe.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;More impresive moves were made by The Blues' side when Nadir Belhadj did a perfect 360 while the Spurs' side made a change with Gareth Bale replaced by David Bently. Few minutes later, Portsmouth made a change instead replacing Nugent with Utaka.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;Dissapointed I was when Kaboul collected a yellow card. 2 from Pompey but it was a nice clearance by Davis with Vedran Corluka's header. At 88 minutes, Wilson was replacing Kaboul which was late and I was very dissapointed with it because Wilson is a great player. He should of played earier.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3 Minutes at extra-time Niko Kranjcar picked up an injury that was replaced by Hermann Hreidarsson after he did a close attempt on goal from far distance. I'm afraid he won't be playing for the mean time. His injury looks serious. I just hope the best for Kranjcar.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_o0GrwDZ5bYA/SXXeP_WQuFI/AAAAAAAAAoA/fLstrvOdvQw/s1600-h/Portsmouth_1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer;

They did well and only allow 1 goal for Manchester United. From looking at their previous matches, Bolton did a great job. They defend well and the result is quite satisfying. The way they play are like professionals even though they just got to first devision this season. Well done. I'm much proud and pleased with the Wanderers performance even if they don't win. I did expect a tie but I guess dad was right.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt; No team can defeat Manchester United and coming from a team that just got to first devision, it's nearly impossible but Bolton shows everyone that even if you're still new to one thing, it doesn't mean you'll give up fighting with the best. Try to do your best in it. I learn something from watching that match.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 51);"&gt;But for Manchester United. Yeah, in supporters' eyes you guys are on top now, you are the best and now it's time to enjoy life since the cup is in your hands. Well, wake up and think about the match. Manchester United did a terrible performance at Reebok stadium and everyone knows that. Manchester played bad and they can't even  communicate well in that match.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;Look up and watch the goal over and over again. It is completely miserable and sad. Bolton is a team that just got to first devision and is it hard for you Manchester United players to defeat a team like that? You fans may say something like 'Portsmouth lost to Bolton and you don't have the rights to say that!'&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 51);"&gt;do I? Think again. Manchester United was the victory of last year's Barclays Premier League and won this year's world best club. Plus along-side Manchester is Christiano Ronaldo which everyone kept on saying the best player ever and won 5 trophies last year so what happened? This is a match that will decide who will be champion and this is how Manchester deals with it? To me it's pathetic.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;What's that I'm hearing? Someone said 'don't forget Portsmouth won last season's FA cup'? Well, fellow idiots, Portsmouth is suffering financial crisis and also they changed the Manager in the middle of the season, leaving Portsmouth with a Manager that can't even cooperate well with the team. So think again.

The decision was made by referee, Mike Dean which he inspected earlier that day. The temperature last night dipped below -7 degree centigrade and have been well below freezing every night this week.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;I was very frustrated hearing that Portsmouth isn't playing that Saturday night and I was looking forward in watching the big match for weeks now. I've waited for 2 weeks in watching a Portsmouth match since the one with Bristol City wasn't available live in Brunei. Portsmouth do improved a lot since Bristol City so that's why I was really excited for the Manchester City match. Hearing about the delay, it really made me sad.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I didn't really blame anyone for the delay but I'm very frustrated. The Portsmouth players are as well excited for this big match since they were going to use a new formation. That didn't happen regularly so of course I'm looking forward for such things.

Plus I just watch the highlights and this is my chance on updating my blog since school starts. I'm kinda busy on school so don't expect much. I might do more at March or April. Even though the result is nothing but I'm still pleased by their performance. They really improved in striking and also defending. I got to credit the whole team for making a very brilliant performance that night at Fratton  Park. David James is improving very well. I guess keeping him as the main keeper for now would be a good idea.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;Kranjcar did a very well job attempting on goaling. He improved and I'm impressed. Not only him but also Davis, Wilson and Belhadj. Crouch isn't making so many mistakes that night and I'm very happy about that. I think Tony Adams did a very well job on improving Pompey and I got to say that they all did well, wait, great that night.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;I would be more excited for their match with Manchester City cause of their 4-3-3 position. It may be worth it to try and Pompey would deliver more goals with that position. I'm not really 100% sure who's playing but I hope Johnson would be in the start up. So anyway next match with Manchester City would be held at Fratton Park on Saturday, 10th January. I'm not gonna predict this match. Don't ask why :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_o0GrwDZ5bYA/SWSv4DjisII/AAAAAAAAAlQ/6DMRhd94WJs/s1600-h/Sweet+game+dudez%7E.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 322px; height: 393px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_o0GrwDZ5bYA/SWSv4DjisII/AAAAAAAAAlQ/6DMRhd94WJs/s400/Sweet+game+dudez%7E.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5288545240001720450" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5628423508101894972-5249207019119015158?l=growingupfootball.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://growingupfootball.blogspot.com/feeds/5249207019119015158/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5628423508101894972&amp;postID=5249207019119015158' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5628423508101894972/posts/default/5249207019119015158'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5628423508101894972/posts/default/5249207019119015158'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://growingupfootball.blogspot.com/2009/01/portsmouth-0-0-bristol-city-im-very.html' title='Portsmouth 0-0 Bristol City: I&apos;m very pleased.'/><author><name>NK Nika</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01587400921013377705</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='19' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_o0GrwDZ5bYA/SQX3jx1TzGI/AAAAAAAAAVE/VcdS5_qYIjo/S220/NK+Nika_wall2wall.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_o0GrwDZ5bYA/SWSv4DjisII/AAAAAAAAAlQ/6DMRhd94WJs/s72-c/Sweet+game+dudez%7E.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5628423508101894972.post-1137610322907086641</id><published>2009-01-05T02:25:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-01-05T03:05:57.121-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Now this is what I don't like...</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;What the bloody hell is Defoe doing?

I mean what the hell is Defoe thinking? Yeah, I understand that he wants to move cause Tony Adams can't even relate with him but why Tottenham Hotspurs? Isn't there another club that is more suited for him than Tottenham?

For instance, Strikers there are Pavluchenko and... FUCK! Pavluchenko if fucking tall so that'll be like Pompey...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Defoe... How could you move to a team where your evil, mad and also jew-loving former manager who could use the same technique as Portsmouth? What the fuck have you been drinking!?!

Not even a bit.</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;They don't deserve to leave Emirates Stadium empty handed. It's just stupid. I don't care about the goal but I care about how they lost. They played so well at first and early second half and now they deserve nothing from the game. It's a mistake for Arsenal goaling at 70+'. At least they could of equalize but now, nothing. Devastation and frustration fits the game well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;They improved... but not quite. They lost and that's unaccepted by me.  Defense are very weak but I'm quite satisfied with Distin, Campbell and also Bouba Diop eventhough he picked up an injury that time. The main problem here is that Portsmouth's defenders are all well to go forward. All of them didn't deserve being defenders since they are potential in being Midfielders instead. I am very disappointed with Crouch. This open transfer window Portsmouth should buy a striker. I recommend a Turkish, Croatian or Italian striker. Keeper as well need to be change. Kasper Schmeichel could be a recommendation. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was all a mistake. The game shouldn't end this way. Tony Adams is nothing compare to Redknapp. If I was the manager I would try to do something else than my own method if my own sucks like hell. &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;font-size:180%;"  &gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Tony needs to be sack before next season!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;I got something to say about the Emirates. They played so bad at the match and it didn't mean anything even if you won or not. The way you play is a disgrace and you didn't deserve to be on the top 5. You played like sissy girls and you can't even kick a ball right. Lack of concentration and also technique. In my view, they should lose or at least deserve one point. Nothing compare to Aston Villa. Arsenal should not be called one of the big four clubs because without Persie, Fabregas and Wolcott, they are nothing. I much prefer Bolton Wanderers than you skanks!  Enjoy your f*cking victory man whores. It's not a victory the way I see it. It's nothing and you don't deserve all 3 points slackers.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_o0GrwDZ5bYA/SVenI142hpI/AAAAAAAAAkw/vLTvYcmiUcM/s1600-h/Skank.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 392px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_o0GrwDZ5bYA/SVenI142hpI/AAAAAAAAAkw/vLTvYcmiUcM/s400/Skank.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5284876458088892050" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5628423508101894972-6345557958961230955?l=growingupfootball.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://growingupfootball.blogspot.com/feeds/6345557958961230955/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5628423508101894972&amp;postID=6345557958961230955' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5628423508101894972/posts/default/6345557958961230955'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5628423508101894972/posts/default/6345557958961230955'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://growingupfootball.blogspot.com/2008/12/arsenal-1-0-portsmouth-im-not-satisfied.html' title='Arsenal 1-0 Portsmouth: I&apos;m not satisfied...

Portsmouth is a team with very tight defense and very talented strikers. What is up with that? I know, it was Tony Adams. I just put this topic up the shelves now and put on the topic about Portsmouth lost at Fratton Park.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;It was bad. Everything was bad. I now don't care who plays on field but I care on how the training is going. Adams seem to lost corporation with the team. I still think Portsmouth is powerful, full of techniques and speed. Concentration is what making the team win and now, since Tony Adams is managing it everything is falling apart. The way they defend, they strike and mostly, the way the goalkeeper keep the ball. Horrible, just horrible. Awful and frustrating. Since Adams manage the club, there's 2 wins,  3 draws and  5 lost. It is very sad coming form a former Arsenal player. I know Pompey could improve like last year's FA cup. A lot of potential players in one club could not do such a thing. It is, to me, nonsense for this thing to happen.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I got nothing else to say to West Ham United. They did well and deserves 3 points leaving Fratton Park. I'm just afraid that Portsmouth would drop to second devision. I could see that next season there's a 84.9% possibility for Portsmouth to drop devision. I'm sorry but Adams deserves to be sack. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;The only one way to make Portsmouth touches to top 10 again is to train them like how Redknapp would do. I don't really know how but to me it's best to buy a new keeper or defender for the open transfer window. Simple to say that they need to improve defense. Mid-defender should not leave their position on what so ever reason. As the ball at the other player, defenders should stay back and some midfielders should approach the ball and tackle it out the field. It's crucial to do that. Strikers should seriously stay at the middle of the field when the ball it intercepted by the opponent or defend the ball if it's near to them so the ball won't go far. Attacking midfielder sould stay with strikers as well cause if the A.midfielder got the ball, he could go foward with both strikers and will help goaling.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Last night was heartbreaking.  It's getting deeper when writing this on blogger.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5628423508101894972-2310822566041846471?l=growingupfootball.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://growingupfootball.blogspot.com/feeds/2310822566041846471/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5628423508101894972&amp;postID=2310822566041846471' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5628423508101894972/posts/default/2310822566041846471'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5628423508101894972/posts/default/2310822566041846471'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://growingupfootball.blogspot.com/2008/12/portsmouth-1-4-west-ham-united-adams.html' title='Portsmouth 1-4 West Ham United: Adams needs to be sack'/><author><name>NK Nika</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01587400921013377705</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='19' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_o0GrwDZ5bYA/SQX3jx1TzGI/AAAAAAAAAVE/VcdS5_qYIjo/S220/NK+Nika_wall2wall.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5628423508101894972.post-4413744132218103319</id><published>2008-12-27T07:05:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-12-27T07:09:46.260-08:00</updated><title type='text'>This is for you Anton.

And I was searching random videos around Youtube and I saw this.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object height="344" width="425"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/SHBVBhvsUJw&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;fs=1"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/SHBVBhvsUJw&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" height="344" width="425"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Original is &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SHBVBhvsUJw"&gt;here.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;Azri!! If you haven't watch the match watch it!! And all those Manchester United fans all around Brunei!! 'Pompey was the best' when Redknapp was manager but now he moved to Spurs... Still, if Redknapp is still Manager, Wilson, Ashdown and Davis won play until now. I guess there are some good reason for Redknapp's depart.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;About the match. Ronaldo almost cried that time watching his shot didn't get into the net and I see a Portsmouth keeper, all defenders and almost all the midfielders defending the ball near the goalpost. Frustration everywhere at the Red Devils. Johnson became keeper when Tevez shots and it really made me smile watching him being keeper and actually heads the ball off the way~ Kranjcar's shot was class (as all of you Manchester United fans would usually say Kranjcar's moves was like Ronaldo's so you guys could call him a fake of Ronaldo. WAKE UP MANCHESTER UNITED FANS!!! Ronaldo was the one stealing off his moves!! Kranjcar's moves was originally made by himself since he was still at Dinamo!! 16 YEARS OLD!!)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;Anyway you can already see that Portsmouth are originally tough in defense and forwards are fast and full of techniques so if you think Portsmouth are nothing then explain to me how did Manchester United lost and Portsmouth won and it was last year as well!! Ronaldo is there, Rooney, S J Park, Carrick, Scholes, Tevez and even Van Der Sar!! You fans make me puke(except for you Azri as he didn't really say anything bad about Portsmouth I think...

Fuck Astro(this is a TV cable at Brunei)!! I mean at that time Middlesbrough and Fulham was playing live instead of Portsmouth. I have a question for all of you Bruneian! Which one of the bloody hell are you guys supporting Middlesbrough or Fulham!?! Yell it to my face if you are! I only know that there are like 98.9% of Brunei is supporting Manchester United so why making a fuss about Middlesbrough and Fulham!! As I am a supporter of Portsmouth why isn't it live? I only watch the unlive part which is very devastating. My family are bugging and insulting Pompey as they are supporters of Liverpool. I don't care about the bloody hell of Middlesbrough or Fulham! I'm really BALLISTIC now thanks to this crappy cable!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;I don't know what to say to Portsmouth. They sould feel ashame for what they have done. Letting Bolton score twice not even reaching to 5 minutes. What the bloody hell has happened to Belhadj?... Okay he is in a toe injury but where's Wilson!?! I mean at least they could replace him with Wilson. Everything is a mistake. The player's positions, the formation, everything. They really deserve nothing at the match and I got to agree with Adams there. They played bad, no terrible.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But Bolton, they deserve more than 3 points that night. They defend well, they strike wonderful and as one of the team at 10 below they should be higher. Taylor's goal was wonderful, even Gardner. Steinsson's defense was very well balance at that match, so as Davies. Well done for the Wanderers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;If Adams wants to win then listen to me!! Okay, all you have to do is to let Wilson play at the Premier League!! Why can't he play? I thought he was an amazing player you say! I thought he could be a star you say but why not let him play for Premier League!?! Is he too young!?! Not enough experience!?! Well why don't you just let the guy play!?! Arsenal have a lot of players with young ages and they made it to the top 4 clubs. Why can't Wilson be a part of Premier league too!?! And why isn't Little playing!?! I thought he was good at attacking. Listen, if you want Pompey to win then why don't you listen to me?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Formation: 4-3-1-2&lt;br /&gt;Keeper: Ashdown&lt;br /&gt;Defenders: Wilson, Hermann, Distin and Belhadj.&lt;br /&gt;Midfield: Johnson, Hughes, Mvuemba, Kranjcar&lt;br /&gt;Strikers: Defoe, Kanu.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;If you do this once, just once you might lead Pompey to victory.

As the keeper is Buffon which is the best keeper so far. Petr Cech is great but not like Buffon as he is calm and cool under pressure instead of Cech which always blame Terry for not defending the ball. Anyway I still have faith in Nedved.

Greece is a bit low on attacking but really good in defending. But Villarreal can break through defenses and goal as Rossi and Nihat are the strikers. Midfield would be stable as there's Mati Fernandez and Senna. I only know Ivanschits in Panathimaikos. He's a great midfield.

Izmailov, veloso, Pereirinha and Moutinho but still, Bayern's foward are Klose and Luca Toni, the great strikers both for German and Italy. Defenders are Lahm and Oddo and Midfield is Schweinsteiger, Ribery (which my sister kept on calling the confused french), Van Bommel and Boroski. 56% to the German club I guess...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_o0GrwDZ5bYA/SUynoyQqs4I/AAAAAAAAAjA/enyCG3RYCNw/s1600-h/Schweinsteiger+%26+Veloso.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 260px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_o0GrwDZ5bYA/SUynoyQqs4I/AAAAAAAAAjA/enyCG3RYCNw/s400/Schweinsteiger+%26+Veloso.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5281780782127035266" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;Veloso and Schweinsteiger&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;Atlentico Madrid (Spain) against Porto (Portugal)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;EL NINO!!

Even though these pass few games he can't keep the ball well but I still have faith in him. Not only the keeper class but the strikers as well. Ruud Van Nistelrooy and also Raul and I still don't forget you guys, Van Der Vaart, Sneijder and De La Red. Liverpool has lost their main player, Fernando Torres and Robbie Keane is still not boost up for this. Don't expect Liverpool don't got anything up their sleeves, Gerrard is still here.

I know it didn't look so amazing or anything but at least it looks really cool right? Okay to tell you the truth I didn't really have any idea what to do anymore. Yeah I got this idea for weeks, no, months already but I don't know how to put it together. first my idea was to make it to 603x400 which I made the logo in the middle and there's 'growing up football' on top of it which a lot of Portsmouth players surround the logo and Tony Adams at the right or something like that but then Photoshop gets so hard and I'm in a block.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After that I tried doing it again by putting the logo at the left-hand side with Niko at the right and 'Growing up football' at the middle but then it didn't look so good so I just made it like that. Maybe I'll do a better one next time I guess. If you got an idea you would like to share you could by commenting this post or leave me a comment at that chat box over ---&gt; there.

Well, it wasn't my fault Astro is such a big fan of Manchester United until it didn't premier this match on TV. Same goes to Portsmouth last match with Wolfburg. Okay, maybe I'm not such a great fan of Pompey but still, Astro sucks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;So the match ends up at 3-0 which Portsmouth won at Fratton Park. My prediction was wrong, like 100% wrong. Who knew Heerenveen actually flunk at FA cups.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm really sad about the part when Wilson and Hermann (Hreidarsson) played in the game. It's been so long I haven't seen Hermann playing and this is the first time Wilson is playing for Portsmouth. The two of them are very good. Kranjcar and Defoe were bench warmers at the match, same goes to James and Distin. WTF!?! I just notice Ashdown was playing, not James. Now I loathe Astro... Hughes, the dude which I idolize for so long, is captain at this match?... Astro, I'm gonna  kill you... Such an amazing match like this I miss and a match that I didn't like is what I watch? My life sucks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;So first goal was by Crouch at 40' and also second goal was by Crouch as well at 42' and Hermann (I'll cry this tme) goaled at 90'. I mean Hermann goaled without me watching? This sucks! Anyway now I gotta go cause I must watch the highlights now.

type='text'>Diarra to Real</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;Portsmouth have confirmed that they have accepted an 'exceptional' offer from Real Madrid for France midfielder Lassana Diarra. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The 23-year-old is poised to become the first signing made by former Tottenham Hotspur boss Juande Ramos, who took charge at the Bernabeu following the recent sacking of Bernd Schuster.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;A Pompey spokesman told the club's official website: "We have always said that we would only allow our players to leave if we received an exceptional bid. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"We could not stand in the way of a move such as this for Lassana.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;"It shows how far the club has come under the ownership of Alexandre Gaydamak when Real Madrid come in for one of our players. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Should the deal be completed, the club has already identified possible replacements."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;A fee of close to £20million is being reported for Diarra, who has also played in England with Arsenal and Chelsea. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Diarra has scored three goals in 31 appearances for Pompey since moving to Fratton Park in January, helping the club win the FA Cup final at Wembley in May.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;He was also a member of France's squad at the European Championship finals last summer, but failed to make an appearance as Les Bleus crashed out at the group stages. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Real are keen to bring in several players to cover for a number of injuries among their squad, with their approach having seemingly ended talk of Diarra being a target for Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur.&lt;br

type='text'>Portsmouth against Heerenveen: Perdiction.</title><content type='html'>In 17th of December, FA Cup match is Portsmouth against Heerenveen at 7:45pm at England and 3:45am (If I count that correctly). So the Dutch team would have to travel to England to face the Blues.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;72.5% Portsmouth would lose. I not a Heerenveen fan nor do I don't support Portsmouth. It's just that Portsmouth is really having trouble last week and the difference of last match and this match is only 2 days so... You get me. I just hope  Portsmouth would try their best.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I really hope for Richard Hughes, Sean Davis, Belhadj, Kranjcar, Crouch and Defoe would do their best in this match. As Heerenveen is a Dutch club next to PSV Eindhoven I think Heerenveen is like Aston Villa in Premier League.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;I just hope for the best. Let the best team win I suppose.

So many chances and so many mistakes. 3 goals did not responded by the Blues but still, congratulation to Micheal Owen and Newcastle for bringing 3 points home.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;It was a really close attempt by Niko Kranjcar, Jermain Defoe and Peter Crouch. It was a very, very bad day for the Blues. First half they played well and terrible at the second. I think it's a mistake for Adams to set Traore out on the field and substitute him with Mvuemba. He played really bad this week. Sean Davis did a very close attempt on goal at the second half which I expect to goal. This match really made me sad as I was expecting more from the Blues but I guess it's faith.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;On the other hand, Newcastle. Very, very outstanding game they put up at Fratton Park. Defended well  at the second half and made a lot of important interceptions in the second half. Micheal Owen goaled in the first half. David James made a very huge mistake to leave the net and didn't defend the ball at 51'. From that, Owen goaled and deserves it. At 77', Martins goal by another mistake of David James. He dropped down instead of intercepting the ball and he fell on the right side instead the left. Very upsetting move by the England keeper and final and winning goal was by Newcastle's Gurthie at 89'. It was the greatest goal of the day.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Portsmouth lost.

It maybe fun to communicate with other people around the world and to do your work anytime or to find information and stuff.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some people surf the internet to create an account at some sites like Myspace, Bebo, Tagged, Friendster, high5 or facebook to talk to new people but actually people just add and talk to their classmates, teammates, friends and family which they already know so much. Sometimes they just fake their selves  just to be cool and stuff. I mean what is up with that? People who fake their selves is really stupid. Why can't they just be their selves and just be cool like that? I was a fake once and I didn't enjoy it even once. I became a dude and a girl actually likes me and she broke up with her so called even-cooler-than-me boyfriend. I felt bad and I deleted my account there. I'm not going to tell you what site it is.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway internet ruined every teenagers in the world. I mean I only got like... 5 to 20% of internet a week. My siblings share this laptop with me so they always pull me off the chair and spend time online for...8 to 12 hours or more. Somehow I only got online on Blogger when they are asleep. Not really fair but I could live with it. Anyway every time, at 3 to 8pm, no one would play with me since my siblings kept on hugging the laptop. I didn't really want to go online or something, I just want someone to talk to or to play football with or even just to hang out. They are just on the laptop for hours until they felt tired and sleep. Mom didn't let us go out or hang out outside because there's snakes, deadly dogs and reptiles around these parts of town so I'm deadly bored every time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So I'm taking the topic of how internet ruining every teenagers in this world. it's because they are connecting with people they haven't met before so they kept on influence each other and trying to change the way each of them thinks. Like when a nice little girl who turned brutal or emo and stuff. They even talk weird. Thy tlk lyk dis wich mde me md bcuz I cnt actlly read it ryte. Translation: They talk like this which made me mad because I can't actually read it right.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And sometimes they talk like: (u r so sexayyy xD ^^) What is that? I mean I hate the way they just use single alphabet to actually mean something and the way they misspelled sexy to sexayyy which is not cool at all. What is up with the 'xD' or the '^^'. It just made things so hard to understand. Plus sometimes people always say LOL eventhough it's not funny at all. I mean if there's something funny, they will all go LMAO or LOLMAO or something that sometimes do things which is hard to translate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Trends just made things worst. Where did everyone know trends? Internet of course. Trends are when people be a part of something stupid, like emos, scenes&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Youtube is the main thing why people is starting to get crazy for internet. It's okay to post things that teaches you knowledge but posting stupid things like hottest scene queens, how I do my hair or even porn. It's not cool at all. To me it's a waste of time. Another thing, msn. Get a load of that. msn is always making people crazier. Some people talk for hours from morning to night nonstop. Somehow I didn't like that. Most of the teenagers always have problems in these situation. In fact, from lack of sleep people will get heart attack or some sort, from not going outside taking fresh air people might get a cold for being on the air-conditioner for too long or even get fat and obese for not exercising too much, even if you are skinny, you are too weak and you need some muscle to do more than typing. Anyway sorry if this offended you readers out there. I really am but please. Make a difference and start to live normal where laptop or internet is not your life. It's just not cool and healthy.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5628423508101894972-8291596187490702131?l=growingupfootball.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://growingupfootball.blogspot.com/feeds/8291596187490702131/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5628423508101894972&amp;postID=8291596187490702131' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5628423508101894972/posts/default/8291596187490702131'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5628423508101894972/posts/default/8291596187490702131'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://growingupfootball.blogspot.com/2008/12/internet.html' title='Internet'/><author><name>NK Nika</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01587400921013377705</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='19' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_o0GrwDZ5bYA/SQX3jx1TzGI/AAAAAAAAAVE/VcdS5_qYIjo/S220/NK+Nika_wall2wall.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5628423508101894972.post-7313715202098412367</id><published>2008-12-02T23:44:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-12-03T00:03:18.865-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Wolfburg vs Portsmouth</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;4th of December. 7pm at England and around 1am at Brunei (I think I did my Math right). Watch this FA cup  match!  Portsmouth between Wolfburg, a German club. Home goes to Wolfburg so Portsmouth are traveling to German and I hope the weather won't be snowing that night. German is a snowy country at this time and if it's not snowing, it would be really cold. I watch Bundesliga as well as I'm supporting Bayern Munich and Shalke 04.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;Pompey would be with Niko Kranjcar from the beginning. He told news that he's fit and ready to play so I hope you guys would watch his first game after his second injury. I'm predicting 2-3. I hope Pompey win...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;So watch it if you are a fan of Portsmouth FC, people and one more thing. Please Astro!

In Brazil or somewhere around there, a pregnant woman lost her baby from her stomach. After a few days, policemen found the baby alive. They brought the baby to the health care and 10 or 20 days after that the baby was fine and was send to his mother.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 255, 255);"&gt;That is what I want. The oddness of how the baby is still alive after he was ripped off from his mother's stomach. Very weird and true as well. If this world works in oddness that would be superb. Like how the headline of one newspaper that reads 'Child with two heads' or something odd like 'cat died and lived again'. Amazing and true. Sometimes you could find 'curse child which was turned to a lion' or some sort. Why don't you people type in 'Tikar bersembahyang' on youtube and that, my friend, is what I call odd or should I say kuasa Allah.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5628423508101894972-6725051806197876479?l=growingupfootball.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://growingupfootball.blogspot.com/feeds/6725051806197876479/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5628423508101894972&amp;postID=6725051806197876479' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5628423508101894972/posts/default/6725051806197876479'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5628423508101894972/posts/default/6725051806197876479'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://growingupfootball.blogspot.com/2008/12/that-is-what-i-want.html' title='That is what I want.'/><author><name>NK Nika</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01587400921013377705</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='19' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_o0GrwDZ5bYA/SQX3jx1TzGI/AAAAAAAAAVE/VcdS5_qYIjo/S220/NK+Nika_wall2wall.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5628423508101894972.post-1054769939394932233</id><published>2008-11-30T21:12:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-11-30T21:42:30.979-08:00</updated><title type='text'>10 facts about me.</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"&gt;1. Each blogger must post this rules.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"&gt;2. Each blogger must being with ten facts about them.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"&gt;3. Other blogger who are also tagged must also state the rules and ten facts about themselves.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"&gt;4. You must choose ten people to give this award to and list their names at the end.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"&gt;5. It is essential that tag is left at their tagboards, letting them know about the award they've received.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 180%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);font-size:130%;" &gt;TEN FACTS ABOUT ME&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 180%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;1. I love football. I eat, breath, sleep with football. From Europe to South America, I know their players. You can say I can't stop talking about football even for one day.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 153, 0);"&gt;2. I am a big fan of Niko Kranjcar. He is the best midfielder in the world. He does this amazing techniques which is much more better than Ronaldo's. He may be slow but he beats Ballack anytime. Niko is my hero.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 204, 102);"&gt;3. I like music I guess but I'm not a music addict. To me music is making this world living in trends. Music made emos, scenes, punks and so on. Why can't we just live in a world where no one is label such names. I mean emos or scenes are nothing. Better live trendless.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 0);"&gt;3. I like blue...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 255, 51);"&gt;4. really good in science and geography. They only need full of positive thinking or sense. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 204, 204);"&gt;5. I got girls barely as friends. To me dudes are much more fun to hang out with than girl. Girls are always bugging me with their useless talk about boys. They may talk like their guy is everything but when I see how they look like, I was thinking how Wenger is more good looking than them.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 255);"&gt;6. I'm 13... How cool is that?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 204);"&gt;7. I collect jersey? I guess...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 102, 204);"&gt;8. I HATE people who picks an internet fight with me! I mean what the hell is up with that!?! There's this time a girl picks a fight with me in Youtube and called me a poser. What the... I hate her so much. She thinks she's the best but she's not! Plus she's scene!!&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);font-size:180%;" &gt;I hate scenes now!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);font-size:100%;" &gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);"&gt;9. I hate things if it's not fair.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 102);"&gt;10. I got eyes!!.. To be honest I'm not much. That's what I am&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 180%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5628423508101894972-1054769939394932233?l=growingupfootball.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://growingupfootball.blogspot.com/feeds/1054769939394932233/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5628423508101894972&amp;postID=1054769939394932233' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5628423508101894972/posts/default/1054769939394932233'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5628423508101894972/posts/default/1054769939394932233'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://growingupfootball.blogspot.com/2008/11/10-facts-about-me.html' title='10 facts about me.'/><author><name>NK Nika</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01587400921013377705</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='19' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_o0GrwDZ5bYA/SQX3jx1TzGI/AAAAAAAAAVE/VcdS5_qYIjo/S220/NK+Nika_wall2wall.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5628423508101894972.post-5482816250474625186</id><published>2008-11-30T19:38:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-11-30T21:05:46.144-08:00</updated><title type='text'>PL results this week</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 204, 204);"&gt;Wigan Athletic 2-1  West Bromwich Albion.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 204, 204);"&gt;A night for the Athletics in JJB stadium as they won 3 points. First lead was Tony Mowbray's side. After Miller stole the ball from the keeper and shot it to the net at 47',  there's a big cheer from the fans and supporters but he was given a yellow card for his celebration. At 61' equalizer for Wigan as Camara goaled and last goal in JJB stadium was by Steve Bruce's side. Boyce heads the ball to the net and won Wigan 3 points.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;Stoke City 1-1 Hull city.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;It was lead from the away team as Martin King scored  at  45' and equalize and last goal was by Tony Pulis' side. A shot by Fuller at Britannia Stadium wins the two side a point.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;Sunderland 1-4 Bolton Wanderers.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;It was a night for the Wanderers as they won 3 points in Stadium of light. First lead was made by Sunderland's Djibril Cisse at 11', equlize by Bolton's Taylor at 18', Bolton leads as Cahill shot and scored at 21'. Bolton steals the night at Stadium of Light as Elmander scored at 39' and Sunderland's night got from bad to worse at home as Elmander scored again and claim 3 points.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;Manchester City 0-1 Manchester United.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;A day at City of Manchester Stadium made the away team claiming 3 points and the home team frustrated at Derby day. Wayne Rooney was the only player who goaled at City of Manchester stadium at 42'. It was a chaos day for Manchester United as they got a lot of yellow card. 6 yellow cards and 1 red card  which was made by Cristiano Ronaldo. It was a bad attempt on Ronaldo's handball. I don't even understand why he did that and in Manchester United's next match Ronaldo won't be playing. Close shot by Benjani in the second half, Company's nose was bleeding and his shirt was changed to a shirt number 50 and an amazing save by Joe Hart at injury time as he was going back to the goal post and defend the ball with the back of his hands. Great save by the English.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;Portsmouth 3-2 Blackburn Rovers.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;Improvement, improvement and more improving. Night at Fratton Park was amazing. Victory goes to Portsmouth and also 3 points. What a superb match last night. Interesting and enjoyable match this week. First lead was Pompey as Crouch heads Johnson's pass and goaled at 49', Kranjcar then pass the ball to Defoe and he shots from a risky angle and goaled at 52'. Blackburn response at 61' and change McCarthy with Derbyshire which he goaled one minute later. Equalizer made by Tugay as he goaled at 67' which made Pompey shake a little but victory to pompey as Sean Davis last goal at Fratton Park that night.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;Tottenham Hotspurs 0-1 Everton.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;Tottenham lost focus and lost (big smile) to Everton at home. Pienaar goaled at 51' wins Everton for a 0-1. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;Chelsea 1-2 Arsenal.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;One last derby at Stanford Bridge and Arsenal won 3 points leaving Chelsea lost at home for the second time this season. Djourou's own goal didn't made Arsenal shake even a little but they equalize and lead the match that night both by Van Persie at 59' and 62'.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;Liverpool &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;against&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 204);"&gt;West Ham United.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;Let the best team win.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;Middlesbrough 0-0 Newcastle United.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;Aston Villa 0-0 Fulham.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5628423508101894972-5482816250474625186?l=growingupfootball.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://growingupfootball.blogspot.com/feeds/5482816250474625186/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5628423508101894972&amp;postID=5482816250474625186' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5628423508101894972/posts/default/5482816250474625186'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5628423508101894972/posts/default/5482816250474625186'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://growingupfootball.blogspot.com/2008/11/pl-results-this-week.html' title='PL results this week'/><author><name>NK Nika</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01587400921013377705</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='19' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_o0GrwDZ5bYA/SQX3jx1TzGI/AAAAAAAAAVE/VcdS5_qYIjo/S220/NK+Nika_wall2wall.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5628423508101894972.post-8196113413015809431</id><published>2008-11-29T08:29:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-11-29T09:22:48.994-08:00</updated><title type='text'>My view of Hotel 626.</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;Before I say anything I just want to tell you guys my opinion in the game. I'm not really insulting it or saying the game is bad but it's just my opinion.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(192, 192, 192);"&gt;So... It's around 12am and I'm still waiting for the Premier League's late kick off cause I'll die without watching football on a foorball weekend. Anyway I know it's still in a middle of Fulham against Aston Villa and Middlesbrough against Newcastle but I'm not really interested in the two of the match so I played Hotel 626. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;I like the effect on the game. It looks real and it kinda creep me out, AT FIRST that is. But then I think again, That game was made by United States people or somewhere around there.  Ghosts or things like that in US really suck. I mean the ghost there seem so not scary as there is in Asia. Plus I've watched a lot of ghost movies from the US and they didn't really made my day. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;So I played it just now and it made me ballistic because everyone seem to get scared and they looked as if they piss their selves already. I mean what the hell? The game was boring and I have to load it everytime. It even takes more than a minute to wait. How did it made people scared over waiting too long? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(192, 192, 192);"&gt;So you started the game being a dude that is half naked in his bed. What the hell is up with that? So did the guy just made out with a girl and he woke up and just get out of there? So lame... Plus, When you came out of the hotel room all of a sudden you ran... With me controlling the your view. And it totally suck cause there's no instructions or directions at all, not even maps. So the first thing you do is to avoid a black hole in a hotel... What the... Is the hotel in space? If not what is up with the black hole? I died twice  trying to avoid that  thing. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;You then came into a room where your job is to take pictures of a french maid that was off from a bathtub. C'mon! Ghost needs privacy too. I died that time and there's this annoying laughing voice which I think it sounds like a scene queen. Anyway I stop there and I think I won't be playing that again.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204);"&gt;It'll be really fun if the hotel is messed up by &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;"&gt;blood&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:130%;" &gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;blood&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; and more &lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;"&gt;blood&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;. It'll be cool. I mean Japanese  ghost rocks!! You americans should really play a game called Kuon or something.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5628423508101894972-8196113413015809431?l=growingupfootball.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://growingupfootball.blogspot.com/feeds/8196113413015809431/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5628423508101894972&amp;postID=8196113413015809431' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5628423508101894972/posts/default/8196113413015809431'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5628423508101894972/posts/default/8196113413015809431'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://growingupfootball.blogspot.com/2008/11/my-view-of-hotel-626.html' title='My view of Hotel 626.'/><author><name>NK Nika</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01587400921013377705</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='19' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_o0GrwDZ5bYA/SQX3jx1TzGI/AAAAAAAAAVE/VcdS5_qYIjo/S220/NK+Nika_wall2wall.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5628423508101894972.post-7410413532178797269</id><published>2008-11-28T18:59:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-11-28T20:16:31.519-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Portsmouth 2-2 A.C Milan: Amazing match.</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;Really, really sorry for the late update. I bet you guys already know the results but I'm still gonna write this anyway. I was kinda busy yesterday. I woke up at 2pm(Since the match ends around 6am I woke up late) and took a shower, gone to futsal practice till 6pm, fell asleep when we arrived home and woke up around 3am.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;So anyway Portsmouth 2 AC Milan 2. It was an amazing game that morning. It was in Fratton Park and the match was in 8pm in England. Portsmouth seem really great that time and they played well.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;It really made me scared with Milan's first free kick. It nearly got into the net but it deflected from the goal post to David James' arms. Crouch really got a lot of chances but all of them were failed to deliver to the net. First half: 0-0&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;At second half Kaboul's header goaled at 62'. In 73' Kanu shines again with Portsmouth's second goal which made at fans and supporters all bouncing and cheering for Portsmouth. in 84' Ronaldinho's free kick responded Milan s it get into the net pass David James and one last goal which made all Pompey supporters, fans and the blues them selves and Inzaghi poke the ball inside the net as the equalizer.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;It was frustrating that that was not the Blues night but I can see that they played potentially that morning. The fans really made it such an amazing night in Fratton Park as they cheered and chanted. By far that is the most amazing match to me. It's just wonderful how the blues could lead first against a very strong team.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_o0GrwDZ5bYA/STC98xEuCNI/AAAAAAAAAco/1M4rI77kXbk/s1600-h/Pompey_.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer;

I want you guys to really watch it. It's adorable and classic. I like the ending. It was a cute expression made by Hermann. It was like:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;Girl: Hermann?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;Hermann:...

Anyway I bet you guys don't understand that... So watch it. I've already told you guys to visit the site and it located around there ----&gt; or should I say the right-hand side of my page... Just visit the web and click &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_o0GrwDZ5bYA/SSyxfoipHdI/AAAAAAAAAcA/ReJ25-T-A_Y/s1600-h/PfcTV+NEW%21.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 96px; height: 22px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_o0GrwDZ5bYA/SSyxfoipHdI/AAAAAAAAAcA/ReJ25-T-A_Y/s400/PfcTV+NEW%21.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5272784420760788434" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt; at the left-hand side of the page or should I say there &lt;--- and just browse the videos to watch this. With hope I bet you can find it and get the hang of PfcTV&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;"&gt;READ THIS BEFORE WATCHING PFCTV!:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;Anyway more tips on using the PfcTV. Please remember this fact that before PfcTV plays there's this loud sound, more like a commercial so I recommend you to take off your ear piece immediately if you're wearing them or lower the volume if  needed beca&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;use my  laptop is loud and stuff and I almost lost my sense of hearing that time.. To be honest lots of time but who cares. So if that commercial end it'll be something like that picture below. It's like Youtube but more bigger and there's this list of videos that looks like the one below t&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;here. So browse the video there. It's easy, it's more clear than Youtube I suppose and it's louder. I guarantee that. Oh yeah one more thing. DO NOT play with the screen's scroll button. That long thing below 'High quality' because I played with that thing once and it broke literally.  Nah, just kidding, it just stuck like that. So I recommend you to pause first then scroll that thing. If it did broke just refresh the page. Click the images to see actual size. You are lucky I post the tutorials of using this thing FREE.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_o0GrwDZ5bYA/SSy2BBvQchI/AAAAAAAAAcI/ljzcndun-tI/s1600-h/Pfc.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 433px; height: 238px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_o0GrwDZ5bYA/SSy2BBvQchI/AAAAAAAAAcI/ljzcndun-tI/s400/Pfc.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5272789392506778130" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;The PfcTV screen&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_o0GrwDZ5bYA/SSy2BUG_qTI/AAAAAAAAAcQ/aJ30cLgHpQQ/s1600-h/Pfc1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 171px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_o0GrwDZ5bYA/SSy2BUG_qTI/AAAAAAAAAcQ/aJ30cLgHpQQ/s400/Pfc1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5272789397438179634" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;Browse the videos here.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;Next Pompey match would be with A.C Milan on 27th, Thursday and at 8.05 in England and 3 or 4 o'clock in Brunei so watch it. My prediction would be A.C Milan 4 and Portsmouth 1. I hope Pompey would goal more than one. If it is not on  the TV when  I intend to watch it I'm gonna bomb  Astro's building and I'm gonna be the next Osama Bin Ladin(Is this the right spelling of his name) So Astro, I'm a big, wait! HUGE fan of Pompey and I seriously want to watch it. Play up Pompey!!  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5628423508101894972-7601194128381309245?l=growingupfootball.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://growingupfootball.blogspot.com/feeds/7601194128381309245/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5628423508101894972&amp;postID=7601194128381309245' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5628423508101894972/posts/default/7601194128381309245'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5628423508101894972/posts/default/7601194128381309245'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://growingupfootball.blogspot.com/2008/11/watch-it.html' title='Watch it!'/><author><name>NK Nika</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01587400921013377705</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='19' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_o0GrwDZ5bYA/SQX3jx1TzGI/AAAAAAAAAVE/VcdS5_qYIjo/S220/NK+Nika_wall2wall.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_o0GrwDZ5bYA/SSyvk7yIcYI/AAAAAAAAAb4/Tu_wzkQ8dSk/s72-c/Cute+kids.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5628423508101894972.post-7377650265443941382</id><published>2008-11-23T05:56:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-11-23T18:28:47.244-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Top 4 PL clubs lost it.</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;This &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;week&lt;/span&gt;
