Liverpool are scoring, Man United are flying, Chelsea are stuttering, and fifth-placed Arsenal have only 50 points from 30 games.
On Saturday, Blackburn will win at Sunderland, and on Monday Spurs will beat West Brom comfortably.
So the task is: win at Portsmouth on Saturday in the 5.15 kick-off, and set yourself up to beat Juventus.
And don’t get any injuries. And don’t let Juventus score because, in a Champions League quarter-final as tight as this, away goals are important.
PORTSMOUTH have picked up lately but have only three home wins all season and I cannot see them beating Arsenal. However, I don’t see Arsenal finishing fourth if they draw this game, even if there are still 21 points to play for. It’s a big game and a test of nerve, but Arsenal have a good defence, a skilful midfield and a very fast attack. They are 26 points better than Portsmouth and by Saturday night they will be 29 points better. Don’t worry about it !
Portsmouth and Juventus.Which is the more important game?
The former, of course. Portsmouth is the next game and in football the next game is always the most important game.So don’t go to Portsmouth thinking about Juventus.
Forget Vieira, forget Trezeguet, forget the Champions League, just beat Portsmouth by any score and get three points,
