Unbelievable, two games, two Darren Fletcher goals, four points. If Darren Fletcher doesn't score another goal for Man U for the rest of year, will anyone be surprised. Pompey went down 1-0 to Red Devils today at Fratton Park. Portsmouth is now right where we expected after facing off against Chelsea and Man U in the first two weeks of the season.
It's not vital that Manchester United gets off to a blazing start, not as important as it is for Liverpool and their new strike force, or Chelsea with new manager, Scolari replacing the Gamorrean Guard (I'm not a huge Star Wars guy, but do yourself a favor, Google Avram Grant and Gamorrean Guard, and compare. You're welcome). It is important that Man U locks up Berbatov, or at least one big signing in Ronaldo's absence.
Harry Rednapp and Portsmouth could go either way this year. Muntari was a bigger loss than most people think, considering his role is hard to fill, and David James will need to repeat his great form in goal for the Blue Army. Defoe and Crouch may need a little time to work it out, but they are both immensely talented. I really want to see Crouch succeed for Pompey. He deserved a better shot at Liverpool (and for England for that matter), and if he gets games, he will score goals and set up some more. If Crouch and Defoe are spectacular, look for Fabio Capello to keep a close watch on the pair for England.
