Nath, given your refereeing performance last year v Woodies (see photographic evidence) I am surprised to hear that you know what encroaching is.

Really annoyed with Rafa today, as I think most Pool fans will be. Pompey away - probably 4 or 5th hardest away game of the season, never easy to go there and he leaves the on fire El Nino on the bench! So what if he played midweek for Spain. We are 5 games into the season, how does he need a rest, he's 23 not 43!! Last prem game we played Derby at home, could have rested him there. Next we have Brum at home, could have rested him there. You could say that we are playing Porto midweek, yeah so what it's the beginning of the season not half way through

Never was it a pen!... I don't agree with the thinking that you are entitled to go down if a defender makes contact, that is cheating, and in this instance Saha was barely touched.

Onto Rafa.....

Absolutely livid

You spend 20 odd mil on a player, he knocks in a few early goals and leave him on the bench 2 weeks running. Does it work? No. We still should have had enough to beat Brum without him but how many times does he need resting?!?!?!?! He's 23 for crying out loud and it's September not March! Surely he wasn't resting him to play him in the carling cup tomorrow
