What you missed while the New Orleans coroner election was getting ugly…
- FA Cup review: Leeds 1-3 Tottenham, Fulham 1-0 Portsmouth.
- Premier League Review: Fulham 1-0 Portsmouth.
- Jermaine Defoe’s hat-trick has Harry Redknapp claiming he’s as good as Wayne Rooney (although, honestly, I think that Wayne Rooney would’ve had a hat trick in the first half with the chances Defoe had).
- Everyone who’s signed a pre-contract with Liverpool please step forward; not so fast, Milan Jovanovic.
- Andrey Arshavin thinks that Premier League referees don’t offer enough protection to Premier League players. In other fun Arsenal news, Arshavin claims he’s playing in pain on an injured foot.
- DaMarcus Beasley would rather people didn’t firebomb his BMW.
- China’s considering hiring Guus Hiddink to be the manager of their national team.
- Owen Hargreaves was removed from Manchester United’s Champions League squad, meaning he won’t take part in any matches from that competition this season. Hargreaves hasn’t played since September of 2008.
- Luis Suarez netted four times for Ajax in a 4-0 win over Roda JC Kerkrade.
- Stuart Pearce thinks the press should just call off the “witch hunt” on John Terry. To be fair to witches, though, they don’t usually bang the husbands of the other members of their covens without permission.
- Arjen Robben isn’t allowed to wear gray tights anymore.
- Good news for Hull City: Wayne Bridge and Joleon Lescott should be back in the Manchester City lineup on Saturday.
- Hong Kong businessman Balram Chainrai has taken over as owner of Portsmouth after the previous owner failed to repay him a debt. This is Portsmouth’s fourth owner this season.

Fulham-Pompey was a league contest, FYI. Not a very good one, but…well. It is what it is.
Whoops; I didn’t realize they had a game to make up.
When does Man City have to start making up their two games in hand? It’s giving me too much false hope for Liverpool’s chances of breaking into the top four having them four points and two games behind.
It appears that City away to Stoke is one of them, and it will be played 16 February. When the other one is, I couldn’t tell you.
Hey, just a thought- maybe the four of us could put our spare change together and buy Portsmouth? I mean, it looks like everyone is going to get a chance eventually.
I’ll join. I’ve got some lint and change to throw in.
Oh, and a bunch of money I’ve been saving for this summer. But buying Pompey would be much more fun.
I’m sure that five or six of us could handle the grueling tasks of not paying players and not meeting with fans. There’s not much to that, really.
If you guys need a fifth “silent” partner, I have a bunch of gift cards with something on the balance left from Christmas that I’ll thrown in to the pot.
