I’ll be the first to admit that before the season started, I was looking forward to seeing the 2008/09 Portsmouth team assert themselves within the top ten. I’ll also to be the first to admit that Portsmouth have been the second most disappointing side this season (second only to Tottenham). Now, with Tony Adams out the door and countless stars sold, Portsmouth need a hero.

We’ve seen it before. Alan Shearer was Newcastle’s hero, Eric Cantona often came up as Manchester United’s hero, and in last season’s Championship Playoff Final Dean Windass…

Barely one day after a valiant effort was put forth by Portsmouth against Liverpool, manager Tony Adams is now hunting for job offers. Adams was fired after a disgraceful season of leading Portsmouth closer and closer to relegation. Currently one measly point out of relegation, the powers at Pompey had seen enough.

Many people could argue that Adams showed signs of turning the team in the right direction after witnessing Portsmouth’s 3-2 loss to Liverpool, but apparently he was still a ways off from moving the club in a positive way. Portsmouth…

Executive chairman Peter Storrie has defiantly insisted under-fire manager Tony Adams’ short and turbulent stay at Fratton Park is not on the line. Storrie’s declaration may sound like a predictable call to arms but the bare facts tell a different story.

Since former Arsenal and England captain Adams was promoted from the shadow of Harry Redknapp 21 games ago, he has presided over just four wins in all competitions. Pompey were in seventh position when he climbed into the hot-seat and are now in 16^th place. They are on an eight-game winless run…

With the transfer window now open, fans around the league will be praying for reinforcements and key additions to their squads. Down on the south coast, Portsmouth fans are all keeping their eyes on Tony Adams and his talented Portsmouth side. I’ll admit, in preseason I said that this Portsmouth team was the team to watch, but a Pompey exodus is well under way, and that has greatly changed the side’s fortunes.

Before the season even started, Portsmouth lost influential midfielder Sulley Muntari to Inter Milan. Pedro Mendes followed Muntari out of Fratton…

Lassana Diarra is no stranger to moving clubs of late. And today, the Frenchman looks set to be on his way again, this time, to Spanish giants Real Madrid.

At only 23, Diarra has previously been shunned from the likes of Chelsea and Arsenal, and has now reached his goal by moving to the verge of a massive £25 million move to the champions of Spain.

Diarra’s story is one that brings confusion to all football fans. The Frenchman’s amazing ability at such a tender age was well broadcasted and publicized, and at…

Jermain Defoe has given Portsmouth a huge boost ahead of their clash with Paul Ince’s struggling Blackburn side. The England international was injured in his last Premier League outing, but scans today revealed the injury isn’t as bad as first feared. Defoe has confirmed that he will square off against the Rovers this weekend.

Defoe said: “I saw a specialist for some scans and it was only a little problem with my back. It’s all connected and it was running through the back of my legs and that’s why it was feeling…
