Easy City win here I think.

No Sturridge?

Xavi6

Injured

Mgoraf

Looks like Pompey have started the better. Nugent has looked good since Redknaap left, wonder why he never played him...

Raskolnikov

Has Dunne been dropped?

Mgoraf

Still suspended I think.

Congratulations to David James, as he has now the most appearances in the Premier League, overtaking Gary Speed today.

Xavi6

It's so frustrating watching us away from home. Just crap.

mike65

I hope Pompey win this as Liverpool are on a bit of a managment run of doom and we play you next so we might see another gaffer get dispatched soon after playing us. :pac:

Raskolnikov

Amazing how Robinho and Elano go from being world beaters on Wednesday night (literally), to being muck against Portsmouth.

Xavi6

Zzzzzzz

Thanx 4 The Fish

Bloody dire.

invincibleirish

Half watching this as i work not great so far, still expect City to triumph. They're moving up the table slowly but surely.

LuckyLloyd

Beautiful belly flop from Campbell there.

Raskolnikov

Why, oh why is Zabaleta playing central midfield? Can't pass, can't tackle and gets flustered every time he's put under pressure.

Have to say Krancjar is having a good game. A class above his team mates.

Raskolnikov

Wonderful from Krancjar again.

Xavi6

Logan is having a 'mare

Raskolnikov

Kranjcar running the show here.

Raskolnikov

Robinho off, Caicedo on. Been awful today.

Mgoraf

Why is Elano still on? City would be better off with 10 men.

Robinho off for Caicedo

We were playing with 10 men but thankfully Caicedo's on to make it 11 again.

Mgoraf

1-0 Pompey. Glen Johnson. Good finish

Raskolnikov

No idea. He's playing like a player who does not want to be out there.

Great goal by Johnson, he skinned Bridge easily there.

Xavi6

*sigh*

I hate playing these crap teams who have just sacked their manager.

mike65

Some team will be saying that about facing City soon enough!

Mgoraf

2-0 Pompey.Great header from Hreidersson.

Xavi6

Easy header when you've 10 yards of space

Raskolnikov

Portsmouth looking for a third here.

Elano is pure garbage.

Raskolnikov

lol @ Zabaleta getting dispossessed under no pressure whatsoever

invincibleirish

Me and my crap predictions, City Have some tough PL fixtures coming up, this should have been a banker for them.

stream gone for me also.

Raskolnikov

My feed is down, probably a good thing!

Mgoraf

The 2nd screen on that link is working now for me...

Great save from James.

Headshot

well done portsmouth

good win

eagle eye

The only good thing City have done is not sign RSC and thats because we need him, that result today is bad news for us.

bohsman

That was dissapointing, had been looking forward to watching Robihno and co in action for the first time this season.
