With 3 wins on the trot and a good run in of fixtures, do pompey have the best chance of staying in the prem?

I believe that we have the best chance of survival because like you say we have a good run of fixtures and at the moment we our playing the better football and scoring goals regularly, we just got to hope that Birmingham's win at Bolton doesn't lift them to much or they could make it hard for us. Play up Pompey. Bimi.

There's been quite a bit of specualtion about this, I would say it's 50/50 and although I suspect that he will move, I hope he stays.  As to where, there has been a whole raft of teams looking at him including a cpl of Premiership sides so you probably can't blame the guy for moving that way if he wants to further his career.  Bummer.\nCheers!!

I would say, a 1 in 4 chance  ;-)\n\nReally, you need to look at the standings to see how the teams are doing.\n\nNormally, I would give the nod to Middlesboro, but, they're fighting to move up in the league, they are still in the FA Cup, and the UEFA cup will prove a little bit of a drain on resources.\n\nI don't know much about Steaua, other then they are Romanian and are commonly at or near the top of that league.  A strong team in that league, but, perhaps closing in on where depth and big clubs can out stretch them.\n\nSchalke.  I can't get a good read on these guys.  They've been up and down in Germany, but if they play their best, they could take it.\n\nSeville.  They're a good Spanish side, a traditional 3-5 slot finisher in league and as I recall are having a good run in the league.  They have the players and the cash to do well in these tournaments, so you can't count them out.\n\nI would say odds wise, Steaua are the longshot to be the last team standing.  I wouldn't pick a favorite, since these home-and-home's can go either way, especially at this stage.  Middlesboro look to be on borrower time after eeking past Basel.\n\nI have to think who ever comes out of the Sevilla/Schalke match will be favored to take the trophy, but then smaller clubs have had luck and won this before - look at the Russian team last year.

Well is very hard to tell..will have to see how they perform at the early stages of the league. It will be very hard for them but in the end anything can happen in football. Just look at the likes of west ham and wigan. Both team manage to be in the finals of the league and FA cup during their 1st season in the premiership...

Be suprised to see him stay in England, but Spurs are becoming a very strong force (n to think, my team Forest had Reid, Jenas n Dawson + the likes of Harewood in it a few years back, n now look at us, stupid fucking chairman, fuck the debts, they'dv cleared themselves if we were in the Prem. Anyway...) so Spurs would be tempting for him.\n\nYou'd be a lot more tempting though had your lot had not ate at "La Gunnere" n been spiked.

Yes...i think this season you will do it, you should certainly win the Championship. I bought a DVD at the weekend of my mighty team....(dont laugh) SOUTHAMPTON beating Man U back in 1976, it was a great game, and wonderful to watch again, knowing that we beat you.  Dont slate me, cant help who we support, and my cousin is married to Danny Wallace who used to play for and still lives in Manchester, so I want your points.   Thanks.

Portsmouth are garbage, as are Birmingham City, despite all the individual talent they've accumulated.  Let's look at the run-up, though:\n\nPortsmouth:\nFulham (A)\nBlackburn (H)\nMiddlesbrough (H)\nCharlton (A)\nSunderland (H)\nWigan (A)\nLiverpool (H)\n\nNot great, but doable.\n\nBirmingham:\nChelsea (H)\nBolton (H)\nWigan (A)\nAston Villa (A)\nBlackburn (H)\nEverton (A)\nNewcastle (H)\nBolton (A)\n\nMuch worse.\n\nWBA:\nLiverpool (H)\nAston Villa (A)\nArsenal (A)\nBolton (H)\nNewcastle (A)\nWest Ham (H)\nEverton (A)\n\nUgh.  And the others have a game in hand.\n\nSo despite the lead for WBA now and their experience in survival, I think Birmingham and WBA are going down.  The South Coast gets to keep its premiership status for another year.\n\nBy the way, how great is it that Wigan and West Ham have done so well in their promotion season?  Terrific!  That's good for the sport.

yes, i think utd will win the premiership because there is a team spirit, unlike at chelsea where they are all a bunch of money-grabbing prima donnas. i do think thought it is key that they buy either torres or nani in january, as they are very short on class strikers.

my team are having another great season! last year they won what was easily the best champions league final of all time. and this year we are 3rd in the league and today we will play the last league game of the season and if we win and Manchester utd draw or LOSE! we will finish 2nd and that will give us automatic qualification for the champions league next season...oh yes we are also in the final of the biggest domestic cup competition in the the world  "you'll never walk alone".. \n\nwhat about your team how are they doing?

No.  I think they'll struggle in the lower half and end up somewhere between 12th and 15th, but they'll find some wins, especially if they can get some people healthy.  For now, Rossi is doing his best, though he probably won't be able to stay with the club after the loan.  Hopefully the Palermo match is a sign of better things.  If Luque could find some form, we wouldn't have to depend on guys like Duff to put it in the net when he should be setting up plays.  Martins has got to step it up.  Sibierski has shown some form too.  We should dump Bramble and try to make a good back line signing in January.  Even when Given comes back, the defense has been as pourous as a seive and unable to put 90 full minutes together.  We've just got to hold it together this season, try to find a lineup that can work together and reward the hard work of Emre, Solano, Parker, Zoggy, and Milner.  Heck, Milner worked his butt off in Palermo and is the only reason Luque had any chance to shine.  Ramage looks like an up & comer as well... anyway, rambling, but I think we have enough to keep afloat.  I'd like to think that we can get Owen back at the end of the season or the beginning of next, see some improvement of the defense, and make the midfield's effort pay.\n\nGo Toon!\n\nRe:  Shearer, I think there's something in his commitments that prevents him from coming on for another year or so, but I can't recall.  I don't they'd talk about it anyway right now, would just undermine Roeder.\n\nOh, and I forgot Dyer.  There's a guy we've got to keep healthy... if we can keep the slalom sticks out of his eyes!

i think they have the right combination of players playing under agood manager,together with motivations and the right team spirit so i think they wilol most definitely qualify for europe this season and maybe with a little more dedication can win a champions league ticket.

A fantastic result. With a game in hand too, we can bring ourselves even closer to the top.\n\nSoon we will be chipping away at the armour of Man U and Chelsea and watch them fall under pressure.

Has to be well-managed. That said, it's only mid-November and A LOT of clubs have been under-performing this season resulting in a see-saw table. Aston Villa are lucky to have a manager who has been able to help them achieve consistent results- something that the majority of other teams in the prem league would kill for. If O'Neill carries on this way and the team keep responding, it's quite reasonable to expect a top-six placing and qualification for Europe at the end of the season- there's a lot of football to be played between now and then though...

Hhmmm, let me think. was it Southampton, Pompey?\nJust kidding!\nIf they held onto him they could of got £7 million like Southampton did when he moved to Liverpool.
