The winter transfer window doesn't open for another month and a half, but rumors are already swirling about who could be on the move in January. Today's transfer rumors center around a few players who might not be in the best of graces at their respective clubs. Elano to QPR on Loan? Could Manchester [. Click to continue reading...

Sometimes a girl following football is so busy she doesn't have time to post.........

So it was yesterday.

I got home and had just enough time to light our brand new woodburning stove before my guitar teacher arrived. Whilst I was having my lesson my lover made tea.

After eating a delicious veggie shepherd's pie we headed off to the pub to watch the Arse/Tottenham match. Click to continue reading...

'Arry's transfer dealings give the game away 1. Noe Pamarot 2. Younes Kaboul 3. Sol Campbell 4. Sean Davis 5. Jermain Defoe This guy has been running a Spurs team on the south coast for the last few years right under our noses. His new job is basically a promotion from Tottenham reserve coach to Tottenham first team coach. Click to continue reading...

Sol Campbell and Spurs are in the news still after their match at the weekend, where Tottenham fans constantly hurled abuse at their ex-defender. The chant itself pretty much offends just about everyone, but its being reported that it was seen to be racist and that the Police should have been making arrests at the [.

The Football Association have been urged to take action in a police complaint about the verbal abuse directed at former Tottenham favourite Sol Campbell at Fratton Park on Sunday.

PORTSMOUTH will not press the Football Association to lay charges against Premier League rivals Tottenham after Spurs fans targeted Pompey skipper Sol Campbell with verbal abuse during the match at Fratton Park on Sunday. Hampshire Police did not make any arrests at the match despite the torrent of invective directed towards former Tottenham star Campbell [. Click to continue reading...

I embedded a video of the craziness in Spain and Barca and Espanyol the other day. But, like only soccer can do, there's more.

Apparently Tottenham was abusing Sol Campbell. If not racist chants, than homophobic ones. And Scotland has had some racist chanting.

But some are taking it further than words. Click to continue reading...

Ok so it's been a busy weekend and I haven't had a chance to post. I had to coach my team on Saturday, then go to the FSU-Colorado game, then Sunday I had the Jaguars-Texans game so I didn't get a chance to do a match preview. My bad. And maybe I'm bad luck because we lost...to Hull City...at home. Click to continue reading...

Its hurts to say but I think that Le Boss needs to drop Kolo Toure and bring Johan Djourou into the side.

It's obvious that the Toure-Gallas partnership isn't working. There is no doubt that both are superb defenders but as a pair they struggle.

Both need a dominant player alongside them. Click to continue reading...

Chelsea's attempt to regain the Carling Cup begins Wednesday against Portsmouth at Fratton Park. Pompey will no doubt be out for revenge, following the 4-0 thrashing theytook in their Premier League season opener at Stamford Bridge a month ago.

They'll have a hard time doing so.

Portsmouth enters this match on the heels of its most embarrassing defeat in quite some time a 6-0 slump against Manchester City at the weekend.

MANCHESTER, England (AFP) - Robinho produced another captivating display to inspire Manchester City to a thumping 6-0 win over Portsmouth here Sunday.

This crushing win left his new club fifth in the Premier League table while Portsmouth dropped down into 12th place.

Robinho, making his second league appearance since joining from Real Madrid for a British record 32. Click to continue reading...

The Gallas/Toure partnership has always been a talking point with Gooners.

On paper the pair look very strong together but the reality is the partnership has flaws and has been exposed many a time.

The pair are very similar players. I think it's obvious that both play better and look more comfortable alongside a dominant centre back instead of each other. Click to continue reading...

I've put a photo up of Phil in the 04/05 kit because I feel that was his best time at the club.

After a rather unimpressive opening couple of games, Phil came in against Bayern Munich at Highbury and was absolutely superb. He was so good after this that he kept Sol Campbell out of the team for the remainder of the season, even keeping his place for the 2005 FA Cup final (some of you may remember this as the last time we won a trophy).

Predictably, much has been made of the Reds lack of a cutting edge up front without an obvious out and out striker available to Fergie. But on the evidence of the Champions performance against Portsmouth on Monday night there's little worry about, with Rooney and in particular Carlos Tevez looking razor sharp.

So our thin squad got even thinner yesterday with the news that Philippe Senderos has joined AC Milan on loan for the season with an option for a permanent move.

While some people thought the signing of Silvestre (out injured until mid-September, you know! Hurrah!) added some depth and experience to the squad it turns out he was brought in to replace the big Swiss.

I'll admit that Arsenal haven't performed well in the opening two games of the season but we have won both and that is what counts.

We have one foot in the next round of the Champions League and have three points in the Premiership.

We haven't won the two games with our usual tantalising football but we have won in ways we have had trouble with in the past. Click to continue reading...

Usually selling a player to your fiercest rivals would be considered a controversial decision at best, and an absolute travesty at worst. Think of the outrage at Tottenham when Sol Campbell went to Arsenal, Fergie's insistence on keeping Heinze away from Liverpool, the stick Lampard gets (ok, that's a different story but still), the stick [.

Portsmouth are close to completing the signing of French defender Younes Kaboul. Kaboul who had been strongly linked with a move to Sunderland before his agent declared that the transfer would never happen "not even if there was an earthquake" has played 10 times for the French U-21 side. He joined Tottenham in 2007 and made jut over 20 appearances for the North London side before being told this summer that he was surplus to requirements. Click to continue reading...

Phil Senderos has been at Arsenal since 2003 and has never really established himself a role in the starting line-up.

He is now 23 and still has time on his side, so there is no doubt that he is still improving as a player and will get better.

He seems more comfortable playing alongside Toure at the back and some Gooners feel that this is the best defensive partnership at the club. Click to continue reading...

The English Premier League is a unique league where each season brings one surprise package. Last season Portsmouth had a chance at that glory but the African Cup of Nations hampered the second half of their season. This year, however, Harry Redknapp's team is looking primed and ready to take the Premiership by storm. Click to continue reading...

You have to hand it to Harry Redknapp. Since becoming manager of Portsmouth for the second time, he's managed to convince David James, Glen Johnson, Sol Campbell, Jermain Defoe and Peter Crouch to join the club. Now he's set to land another class act in the guise of Wayne Bridge ... Click to continue reading...

Harry Redknapp is continuing his pursuit of faltering English stars as he sets his sights on Chelsea left-back Wayne Bridge. With Jermain Defoe signed last season and Sol Campbell the season before, Wayne Bridge could be yet another Englishman to join Peter Crouch at Portsmouth. Bridge is out of Chelsea's first team plans as he has fallen well behind Ashley Cole in the pecking order. Click to continue reading...

This week's version of the Premiership Talk Friday Five highlights the five players in the Premier League who are over the age of 30 years old that will still make a huge impact for their side.

1. Paul Scholes. The tiny central midfielder has been Manchester United's focal point for many years now.

With a £9 million for Peter Crouch already rejected, Portsmouth manager Harry Redknapp is insistent on signing Chelsea's Shaun Wright-Phillips. A player who was once one of the brightest prospects in England, a few seasons on the Stamford Bridge bench has put a speed bump on SWP's career.

Portsmouth impressed many fans last year as they were strong contenders for a European spot until the African Cup of Nations rolled around and half the team left. Click to continue reading...

He wasn't deemed worthy of a place in the Tottenham team, yet after his brace of goals against Birmingham City on Wednesday, Portsmouth defender Sol Campbell has backed Jermain Defoe to start featuring regularly for England. The striker just couldn't seem to get a sniff at White Hart Lane, whether it was under Martin Jol [. Click to continue reading...

Sol Campbell won the FA Cup twice with Arsenal and he might not get a better chance to land a hat-trick of winner's medals with Portsmouth this season. Pompey have what seems like a favourable last 16 draw at Deepdale on Sunday, although Soccernet reports that the England defender is warning his team-mates against complacency [.

The Daily Mail reveals that they sold Jermain Defoe to Portsmouth because they were afraid that they might have to face a repeat of the Sol Campbell situation. Spurs recognised that they were making no progress with contract negotiations, with Defoe wanting far more first team opportunities before he committed to signing an [. Click to continue reading...

More trouble at Pompey. Goal.com speculates that Portsmouth defender Sol Cambell is involved in a bust-up with the club's chief Peter Storrie and is reportedly to have demanded a move. At the heart of the alleged fall out between the two men is the dramatic downhill slide of Portsmouth from a UEFA Cup hopeful to [. Click to continue reading...

It's been a testing fortnight for Portsmouth chief executive Peter Storrie. Firstly, he's had to deal with the incessant speculation regarding the possibility of manager Harry Redknapp joining Newcastle, before the Pompey gaffer decided to stay put on the South Coast. The News is now reporting that Storrie has told several of the club's senior [. Click to continue reading...

Do footballers have the same rights in the stadium that they have in the street? Sol Campbell argues so, as he told the BBC's Today programme today: If this happened on the street, you would be arrested. This is the 21st century and this is a human rights situation where sportsmen and managers are trying [. Click to continue reading...
