Fulham 3-1 Portsmouth: one word. UPSETTING

I'm flat out of words by this match. 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!

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!

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. No improvement after that day...



If only I could do something...

Rafael Nadal vs Fernando Verdasco: worth watching for 5 hours 14 minutes

It was a long match but it's worth to watch. Since Djokovic lost to Roddick 6:7|6:4|6:2|2:1,I've been hoping Verdasco to win this Australian Open instead of the two 'famous people'(Nadal & Federer) but my hopes were smashed down by Nadal's win 6:7|6:4|7:6|6:7|6:4. It was a pretty close match at the last set the match ends with Verdasco's double foul which Nadal won...

I didn't really think Nadal won that match because most of the scores were made by Verdasco's error in hitting the ball to the net and I got to congratulate Nadal for his stamina and of course his footwork. 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.

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.

Great play Fernando Verdasco

Saviola and Emeson to join Pompey.

Javier Saviola will join Portsmouth on loan

Argentine international Javier Saviola is set to join Portsmouth on loan.

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.

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.

Saviola becomes Portsmouth's sixth signing of the January window and follows the captures of West Ham midfielder Hayden Mullins and Porto youngster Pele.

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. We need some bodies.

'We have a budget here. I do not have£40 million pounds to spend and most of my work will be done in the summer.'

Mullins, 29, has signed a three-and-a-half year contract after Portsmouth agreed a£1 million pounds fee with West Ham.

Attacking midfielder Pele, 19, joins on a six-month loan.

Former Barcelona and River Plate striker Saviola, nicknamed the little Rabbit, has scored 12 goals in 44 games for Argentina but has made only 16 appearances since joining Madrid in 2007.



Pompey-bound Emerson (right) with Kaka could be arriving at Fratton Park

Emerson is not in Milan coach Carlo Ancelotti's plans and Morabito said: 'Emerson's contract will run out next June and we must consider that. 'It remains to be seen what his decision will be. He would probably want an 18-month contract.'

Portsmouth 0-1 Aston Villa: They deserve something

It was a close match by the two teams but Aston Villa goaled and keep the 3 points leaving Fratton Park that night (morning:Brunei)

It's been so long I haven't watch Pompey and now, I could see a lot of errors in the defense and also the way they strike. Things were doing well against Spurs but I don't know what to say after their lost in the FA Cup.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I'm recommending this position:
4-3-3

Johnson, Campbell, Distin, wilson, Pennant, Davis, Mullins, Kanu, Crouch, Nugent.



Distin heads the ball away from Aston Villa players.

Mullins did a great job at the match.

Pompey land midfield duo

Portsmouth manager Tony Adams has snapped up two new midfielders as he attempts to lift the club away from the relegation dogfight.

Pompey have signed former West Ham United midfielder Hayden Mullins on a three-and-a-half-year deal while Portuguese midfielder Pele also moves to Fratton Park on loan from FC Porto until the end of the season.

Adams' side have struggled in the Premier League recently and crashed out of the FA Cup to Swansea City on Saturday with the departures of Lassana Diarra and Jermain Defoe affecting them badly.

However, Pompey's executive chairman Peter Storrie is excited by the arrivals, saying: "Hayden and Pele will add strength to our midfield.

"Central midfield was an area we needed to strengthen - that's why we've brought in two players.

"Both players have been on our radar for a while. But we wanted them here in time to beat Monday's mid-day deadline to play against Aston Villa.

"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.

"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.

"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.

"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.

"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.

"We hope he'll do very, very well. He's a strong lad who's very athletic and gets around the pitch."

Portsmouth 0-2 Swansea City: Not good enough

Before I say anything, i would like to put the title up the shelves now. First thing I would say is to my dearest friend, Alif.

Dearest friend, Alif,
FUCK YOU MANCHESTER FAN!!!! 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.

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!

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!

One more thing! Have a happy Chinese new year, my friend. Have a great holiday.

Sincerely,
NK Nika

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.

Once you wear the logo, you can't forget that you are once a Pompey fan.
You can't forget the way they play and you can't forget every goal from Pompey.
Season by season, money flies watching the Pompey game,
Cheering, chanting, praying and crying,
to the team you support and the team you grow up with,
Play up Pompey, Pompey play up,
Play up Pompey, Pompey play up,
Cheering those words with proud and joy,
watching them with eager and praying with meanings.
Smiles withdraw supporter's faces when Pompey win,
Tears shed from Pompey's fans when Pompey lost,
But we fans still hold on to Pompey,
Because we are fans and we walk along with Pompey,
Through the light pavement that shines so bright,
That only Portsmouth fans can see with harmony.

Kranjcar sidelined

Portsmouth midfielder Niko Kranjcar looks set for a lengthy absence after tearing a groin muscle.

The Croatia international, 24, missed the beginning of the season following an ankle operation and has made only 10 starts this season.

"It looks a bad one and we'll miss him for what I believe will be quite a while," said Pompey boss Tony Adams.

Nika:

I've heard a bad news yesterday and now a worse news the next following day. He's moving to another club makes me sad but seeing him hurt once again makes me frustrated and sick. He's moving and now he have a groin injury. I'll miss him since he's sidelined for a while...
