Midweek Review (23 April 2009)


Manchester United vs Portsmouth




"It was a matter of priorities where Fergie have to make a scarifice."

-Gary, 23 April 2009

When i first saw the starting line-up, i was preparing for the worst. Fergie was true to his words in sending out 2nd team to face Everton.

It was a matter of priorities where Fergie have to make a sacrifice. Now Man Utd have a breather and able to concentrate on the Premier League title and European Cup.

On the other hand, Man Utd youngsters able to hold Everton for 120 minutes. Not bad, and kudos to them.

We face Portsmouth in one of the games in hand. The other game in hand is against Wigan. Portsmouth has been veering clear out of the relegation spots under the guidance of interim manager, Paul Hart. Since Tony Adams has been sacked, no permanent appointment has been made yet. Same like Newcastle where portege Alan Shearer makes a return to manage Newcastle, but is sinking quick in the relegation battle. I have a feeling Newcastle is going to do a Leeds United soon.

Man Utd Team News: Fergie wouldnt want to let slip of the Premier League title, hence i think majority of the First team will be back, including Rooney, Ronaldo, Van der Sar, Giggs and Carrick.

Portsmouth Team News: Papa Bouba Diop, Sean Davis, Jerome Thomas and Jamie Ashdown are unavailable.

Odds and Analysis: If Portsmouth is still managed by Harry Redknapp, i doubt Man Utd is able to clear the handicap, less even a win. Since Man Utd is giving 1.75 handicap, and with majority of the First team is back in contention, I expect Man Utd to send Portsmouth to the slaughter house.

Disclaimer: This review is entirely on my own views and opinion. I didn’t point a gun at you to ask you to follow. If you want to bet on this game, do so at your own risk. Pls bet within limits. Good luck.
