Wait for me over there, over by the Humber Bridge.
Which is my two-clever by half (get it, two?) way of introducing some important team news regarding our friends with two-matches this week. Wow... never post before you've had your coffee.
O'Hara returns to Pompey
Tottenham midfielder Jamie O'Hara has joined Portsmouth on loan until the end of the season...
The 23-year-old briefly returned to White Hart Lane earlier this month when his loan deal expired but has been persuaded to return to Fratton Park by Pompey boss Avram Grant.
Ancelotti set to rest star pair
It is a measure of Carlo Ancelotti's confidence that he is prepared to travel to Burnley without star strikers Didier Drogba and Salomon Kalou.
The Ivory Coast pair have returned from African Nations Cup duty but will not be considered for the Barclays Premier League game at Turf Moor.
The Italian coach wants to give them more time to recover from their return journey from Angola and insisted the Burnley game has arrived too early for them.
"Didier and Kalou came back [on Thursday] and they are well and fit," said Ancelotti. "But they need to work for some days and so will not able to play. They will play on Tuesday against Hull.
"Didier will stay here to train. He has come back very well, also Kalou. They are fit but we don't want to take the risk for the next games."
So let's hope Drogs doesn't kill us with a multi-goal game in the one he does play in and that O'Hara plays but doesn't push out Utaka. Ugh.
ReplyDeleteLooks like it's worth picking up DD on the BD :)

I would guess that Basinas' place would be more in jeapordy than Utaka's. But I've been wrong before.
ReplyDeleteQuick question- the geniuses at yahoo still have O'Hara with spurs. If I pick him up will yahoo give him points for the pompey double or zip because he didnt start for spurs?
ReplyDeletePretty sure you'll get the points. I wouldn't worry about it.
