RSC is gonna PLAY!

Crocky to bag a hatrick and City to splatter West Ham Pompey style....I have a feeling.

Stop calling him Crocky you horrible bastard...

I'm with you on your special feeling. If he plays from the start, he'll score.

I have a good feeling about Crocky, I just hope Crocky can get up to speed quickly cause Crocky will provide extra dimensions to our squad.

[john@staustell]

Hope he plays against Villa. He seemed to make mincemeat of one Richard Dunne every time he played us!

I wish I could have a job that I never turn up for work and get paid handsomly and have all my medical bills and care paid for and given to me free of charge for myself......I say he has got it made.

.

Sounds like me ;-)


and RIG you are a COCK

If he's better than Benjani he is ok in my book!

Is he still on the books? I hope he is just cleaning boots and making tea if he is!

Benjani is in a race for fitness, if he is fit by January then Pompey will sign him.

Love the way the rag charges into him expecting to knock him off the ball & fails to even register a reaction.

Looks like he's playing tomorrow. If so, he's coming back just in time to get a chance to stake a claim before Adebayor returns.

With these knees?

[Ted Hughes]

With these knees?

What is that stuff & how does it work? I noticed Ireland played quite a few games last season with a load of that stuff stuck on his knee & just a square with his kneecap peaking through. Sometimes they just have one little tiny strip, so small you can hardly notice it stuck on.

[john@staustell]

Ade will always be first choice if we need one of them. But I seem to recall some conversation after the Blackburn game where Hughes hinted that ade prefers the spot behind the main front man, the latter being filled by RSC.

Therefore we could look at a home line-up of:

Given
Richards/Zabba Toure Jolene Bridge/Sylvinho
SWP Barry Dej/Ireland Bellamy/Robson
Adebayor
RSC

It's a special physios tape, my sister used some last year. It's really expensive, £50/roll in most shops. It's designed to stretch more like skin so it can be used to provide a little bit of extra support where you need it without restricting you.

Tevez?

[Douglas Higginbottom]

I think we can safely say Tevez will play tonight.

RSC playing alongside Ade sounds awesome to me.

Hi All !

First post - long time lurker !

I have been thinking the same for sometime Douglas. Roque and Ade are potentially a frightening combination. I really hope we get to see if it works. (I think it could)

BTW I really enjoy your training reports. Many thanks and keep up the good work.

Welcome to the asylum.

I think Rocky + Ade could be a fantastic combo. Still leaves space for two or even 3 more creative/attack minded players & gives us a temendous threat from crosses but still plenty of skill on the ground.

Looks very odd, think I'd prefer to wear a standard knee brace than tape, bet it hurts like hell when you rip it off too!

If it worked, I'd wear a tu-tu. If it's better than a brace (and it is for certain things) then it's worth it.

My sister didn't complain about it being sore to remove and I'm not enough of a wimp to bother asking her such questions.

that picture of him is croquetastic. looks like he's falling apart, but held together by tape. laff.

hope he does the business...i'm anxious to see him in action at the right time.

cheers
