Smith in Doubt

Charles Smith was in doubt this morning for the game tomorrow against AMP at Shed 6. Manager Steve Hall told a press conference this morning "Portsmouth miraculously avoided the drop coming from behind to beat Wigan, so we don't expect Charlie to recover from his celebrations in time to take the field". Hall went on to say that Smith would in any event probably be dropped as he was bound to be a bit lippy for a few weeks to come. "Charlie is one of those typical mouthy poms from the south of England, so I'm sure he is going to drone on and on about this until the next season starts" said Hall "but at least we will have the comfort of knowing they'll be doing a West Brom and going down next season".

Hall himself celebrating a Valiants win over Chesterfield, was nonetheless far from over the moon at Chelski beating Manchester United 3 - 0 to win the Premiership. "It's no secret that my family has close links to Manchester, so it was horrific sitting through that one, especially seeing Rooney go down in those last few minutes". Hall however was more than happy to have talks with Roman Abramovich if he wanted to splash some loose change the way of Rovers. "I'm not sure that Landski Rovers has quite got the ring to it" commented Hall "but with a few million to spend on players would boost our chances of getting to Division 6 next season"
