Spare a thought for Ben
This article about Ben Sahar pulled at the heartstrings a bit. Poor guy, in Portsmouth he has no friends nor can he get a kosher meal. Cast aside your worries about the credit crunch, the value of all your assets plunging by the day, the prospect of unemployment and all the other current bleak news, and spare a thought for Ben, who cant cook himself a kosher meal and cant make friends. It cant be easy when youre special but noone else can see it. Im only thankful he gets paid lots of money.

Pompey 1 Wigan 2
Napoleon once said "I do not want a good General, I want a lucky one", and that’s exactly how I felt after Pompey endured all the bad luck in the world not to come away with 3 points against Wigan on Saturday. It really began to seem as though Pompey were fated to suffer agonizing near misses, terrible refereeing decisions, and general bad luck against the run of play. Its tempting to wonder if those near misses would have gone in if Lucky Harry was charge, as the 11 players on the pitch didn’t seem to be doing much differently than they would have previously, other than getting the rub of the green.
This feeling was amplified after yet another inexplicable Spurs result that owed everything to great fortune, leaving me in this week of Halloween, close to believing in the supernatural idea that the heavenly light that has been guiding Pompey throughout our recent successful period has followed Harry to Tottenham.
