As voices of discontent gathered at the back of the Milburn stand before the game, they were
equally as vociferous in their support for their team once they got inside the ground. The second

Is there hope for Pompey? Maybe if you're an eternal optimist. I just like to think of it as
something that Portsmouth fans can reminisce about next season when they are taking the Coca Cola
Championship by storm. That is just where the state of Pompey football is at the moment. One 4-0
victory is not going to suddenly turn things around for the better, but for that to happen,
Piquionne and Dindane are going to have to put in these types of performances week in and week
out.

eight of the Carling Cup thanks to goals in each half from Danny Welbeck and Michael Owen to beat

just before the hour-mark put the holders in the clear in front of a sell-out crowd at Oakwell.

Roy Keane has been under siege after a slow start this season at Ipswich, but as
Matt Dickinson of the Times Online reports, a distanced manager has apparently separated himself
from his locker room.
One of the most troubling stories about Roy Keane's management did not involve him screaming,
shouting or karate-kicking the tactics board in the dressing room, as Dwight Yorke has described so
vividly in his forthcoming autobiography. Click to continue reading...

second half like a team on a mission.
