Over The Moon As Pompey Stay Top

Harry Redknapp (pictured after the recent win) confessed today he was "over the moon" at Pompey staying top of the premiership after Manyoo lost to Arsenal overnight. Charlie Smith meanwhile said he was "restrained", which was just as well given his tendency to go overboard with anything related to Pompey. "Obviously we're looking good at this stage for winning the Champions League next season, and we'll have done quite well to take the championship off Chelsea this season" exclaimed Smith. If it were not enough that Smith was predicting world domination for Pompey, his delusions were now extending to his golf game and he was currently investigating a professional nickname for when he overtakes Tiger Woods as world number 1. "I think Cheetah Smith has a nice ring to it" said Smith.

Land Rovers Manager Steve Hall said Smith was entitled to his moment in the sun, but his recent declaration that he wanted to play up front for Rovers would have to be approached with an element of caution. "The lad scored one goal in a match somewhere back at the beginning of time" said Hall "he's hardly the next Pele, nevermind a LuaLua".
