    For a change I'm being optimistic on this one and I think we'll win. 2-1.

    Crouch and Defoe against their old club :D

    Nope, but I reckon Crouchy will get a good slice of second half play.

    Tough fixture as they have been playing better than there results have shown, and they just got there first win. In saying that, its the type of gaming we need to be winning to be near the top 6. Team I hope for is,
    Gomes Corluka Dawson Bassong BAE Lennon Wilson Hudd Krancjar Defoe Crouch.

    I think the break did us a favour as they would have been on a high having won their first game. We should be winning this type of game though I'm not sure - I'm sort of expecting a draw.

    I want to see Gomes back in goal though.

    Do you really not think we should be beating Pompey? Hopefully we'll have Gomes and Dawson back. I really think we should be winning this comfortably. Saying that, a scrappy 2-1 win :D

    Great news! So we're not far away from having our first choice centre back pairing! Is the two weeks for Modric when he'll be back in the first team or when he can return to training?

    I saw something that all 4 of our major centre backs are back in training. Now I'm not sure exactly the amount of training but hopefully King Bassong and Daws are back to full training and fit and ready for Saturday. If woody's getting close too it can only be good.

    Add Moddle getting back to fitness as well and it'll all be looking good for us especially with the goon on the horizon!!

    I would def be a boost to have them all back in the couple of weeks.

    I'm going to say bring them crashing back down to earth with a 3 or even 4-1 win.

    Defoe to get two crouch to get one with his arse and a Hudd screamer.

    We are heavy favourites with the bookies & they are normally right. So i think we should win, especially if our centre-backs are all back. Spurs to win by 1 or 2 to nothing.

    I'd hope Harry'll pick the following:

    Gomes

    Charlie...King...Daws...BAE

    Lennon...JJ...Hudd...Niko

    Defoe...Keane

    Before people start...Wilson doesn't get back to England until tomorrow so maybe starting him on the bench would be the best bet.

    Bench would be:

    Cudicini, Bassong, Naughton, Bentley, Wilson, Crouch and Bale

    I'd go with that team. Wilson will be knackered after travel and the inevitable partying from qualifying for the WC so leave him on the bench. Hudd and JJ should have enough experience/quality to deal with the Portsmouth midfield.

    I'd have Bassong in ahead of Dawson, but otherwise I'd go with that.

    Think redknapp said palacios would be on the bench because of the long trek home

    Think that's changed again. Apparently the Honduran president ordered them all to go and celebrate their qualification for the World Cup. Harry knows about it and has faced the fact he probably won't be back in England till Saturday or Sunday.

    Ordered by your President to celebrate. Well it's a dirty job but someone's got to do it!!

    I just spotted that Torres and Gerrard are both out for Liverpool tomorrow meaning that they might struggle for a win up there. If we could get a win, with Liverpool playing Utd the weekend after, we could open up a nice lead over them.
