Portsmouth vs Man City called off due to a frozen pitch. I would've thought under-soil heating would stop that happening?

[Powa]

Haha Fergie puts out the bait and now it's Rafa's turn to take it. Who will it be next time, Scolari? Wenger?

Suckers.

Yeah I was quite amazed a premier game is called off.

Good draw from us today, we could of won it but heh a draw is still good for us :p

Na.. he wont do it again.. Rafa shoved it up his *** pretty good this time..

He won't do it to Wenger anyway.. those two are buddies.. also Arsenal is not that high up the table this season.. :/

Yeah Rappy.. anything to stay in the top half of the table..

Good result for us too.. it was a good goal.. some of Bendtner's sins are forgiven now.. Stoke holding 'Pool so far.. hoping it would stay like this or Stoke will do something better :p

FA are to review it anyway so maybe Rafa should of stayed quiet, its not always the best way to talk back.

Yes under soil heating would solve it. ?However, Fratton Park doesn't have any!

They had brought in some heat gens and some covers, yet it was still frozen. ?The temp was about -7

Since Pompey doesn't have under soil heating, then why the hell have we got a bulge in the pitch ! ?

I thought after these years we would have improved the pitch, it's not like we've not got room, we've just got to dig?down, even installing the control?room?shouldn't?be?a?problem, put?it under the pitch.

Nooooo Liverpool messed up again! I can't believe this! Why is Stoke such a thorn in our side.

That first half lineup was a JOKE. What was Benitez thinking only having Kuyt and Gerrard up top with no Keane or Torres!?!?!

Lucas is also a waste of space. We missed Xabi Alonso today.

Well that Liverpool draw will definitely make the United game much more interesting. Chelsea can go within 1 point of the leaders if they win and if we win, we could close the gap to 5 points with 2 games in hand! Certainly, everyone thinks it'll be a draw and a bit of a dry affair but I'm thinking it'll be open with many talking points and goals. Neither team can really afford to lose this so I predict a high score draw. 2-2. Come on United!

Zenit reject Gunners bid

Speaking to the club’s official website, he(Rafa) said, “If Mr Ferguson would stop talking about Liverpool maybe it would be good. He is clearly nervous about Liverpool.”

Benitez was speaking after watching his side slump to a goalless draw against strugglers Stoke City, and the Spaniard insisted he had received a lot of his support following his press conference on Friday.

“I can tell you that a lot of people have sent a lot of messages - not to me but to my staff and a lot of people at the club - to say, 'At least one person has said something everybody wanted to say,’” he explained.

“Maybe because in 20 years nobody could say these things and maybe a lot of people were thinking the same but didn't want to say.”

Yet despite his current stance towards Ferguson, the Liverpool boss revealed he has plenty of respect for Sir Alex.

He said, “I have a lot of respect for him. He is a great manager but he was talking too much about Liverpool, so clearly he has to stop.

"My concern now is to prepare the team for the next game against Everton and that's it. I always say we take things one game at a time - that is my philosophy and my idea.”

Suckers.

Hardly. Rafa issued a calm and calculated response, and only did so when he was asked about Ferguson's comments. Did he start fuming and go off on one like Kevin Keegan once did (you know, the "I'd LOVE IT! LOVE IT" one)?

Fergie issued his own response to Rafa's comments, so you could also say he is the one taking the bait.

Reason Zenit reject our bid, is because like 99.9% of all professional clubs transfers for amounts over ?3,000,000

are usually paid in installments.

Zenit want ?20,000,000 in cash.

No club can cough up ?20,000,000 in cash like that.

Are you sure you don't? I've always thought it was a PL requirement for grounds to have it.

As for the game today, Ronny should have had 2 goals, the one from the perfectly valid corner and the one where he was called offside but wasn't, Chelsea were poor either way you look at it. I could have played in goal and we still would hav:pwon 3-0 :p

[Guyro]

or something of the equivalent to undersoil heating mike
