Portsmouths two central midfielders are so slow. They both take far too many touches and never look to play the simple ball.

It's about self control, if something doesn't go your way, accept it. Its a game and mistakes will be made. Grow up and stop stamping your feet about it.
We rarely get penalties. The number of times we get screwed is a joke, especially in the last 12-18 months, like FA Cup against Pompey, Rooney against Blackburn and again today.
I think there was a poll on Sky Sports before which showed we get very few penalties, especially in comparison with the rest of the league.

Not to mention the two against Barcelona.
Sol wants to play for England in 2010
Oh god, well thats England screwed then, lets hope Capello has a brain.
The referee's are professionals just like the players, why is it okay for the referee's to get something so obvious wrong but the players should be penalised?
They are both guilty.

Lol, that freekick was ace 
In fairness though, Barcelona and Chelsea should both have had penalties against us
.Only one wasnt given as far as I remember (bad miss from Ronny very early in 1st match)

We won it on penalties against Chelsea
fair enough - only remember one definite penalty from Marquez, other was more questionable

Portsmouth are crying out for someone like Carrick in their team. Getting annoyed with them now.

Started the season as we finished it, beat Chelsea on penalties.

This game has summed up what I think our first couple of matches are going to be like, lots of possession but with only one player in attack we're going to struggle for goals.
