Mo sold Harrods today for ?1.5bn. Some are freaking out and thinking he might wanna sell Fulham too, but I could see him using this money to continue to improve the team, maybe even splash some cash to try and become a permanent top 7 team. Its always been said that Mo never trusted his managers with money after the Tigana disaster so I have to think Mo trusts Roy and would let him have more money than usual in the transfer market.

I think that our current defense is good right now, that is if everyone is healthy. Vermaelen and Gallas starting with Campbell and Djourou as backups. I think that this season we just had too many freak injuries that kept players out for too long. The number of injuries wasn't anything new just the severity of them. The one thing that we do need is a good keeper. Even when everyone is healthy that is the one true weak spot we have. Other than that I honestly think all we need is some depth and we should definitely challenge for the title next year without a problem.

Congrats to chelsea on winning the league. Manchester will be back next year with a strong team. We need one good forward berbatoz is trash. Who does everyone have winning the world cup?

[JenniferParisFan]

Congrats Chelsea! I think that if Arsenal keeps everyone and just adds a few more quality players then we might be considered favorites next year.

Right now I have Brazil and Germany as favorites to win the World Cup. But I'll be rooting for France and Holland to win it. Can't wait for the England-US game in the first round it should be a good game.

my condolences to any pompey fans
unlucky
i hope you dont get deducted points next season too
doesnt help out with bankruptcy when they keep stopping the teams progressions
if it wasnt for the points deductions theyd have stayed up and be better off with a larger sum of money, instead theyve gone down and are now in an even worse position
feel sorry for the players and the fans
unlucky indeed
goodluck wherever you go

Portsmouth would've been relegated with or without the 9-point deduction and, although the whole business of docking clubs points is dubious at best, (the Football League are even worse - doling out seemingly arbitary deductions at the drop of a hat) the people who run football have to take some of the blame for allowing clubs to get into this kind of mess in the first place.

Not to mention the fact that they'll let just about anybody buy a club as well. If they'd looked a bit closer at some of Portsmouth's previous owners maybe none of this would've happened.
