BIG-MATCH FACTS



The European and domestic league champions and the FA Cup winners meet for the second time in a fortnight;
both seeking their first Premier League win.

Portsmouth are hoping to avoid a Premier League club record sixth successive defeat;
if held, Manchester United would replicate last season by drawing their first two games.

Pompey met the so called 'Big Four' in their first six fixtures last season;
the Red Devils must visit two of them in their next two league outings (Liverpool on 13 September and Chelsea on the 21st).

This match brings together the two oldest managers in the Premier League;
Sir Alex Ferguson and Harry Redknapp have a combined age of 127,
with the Red Devils' boss the senior by five years, at 66 years of age.

The Fratton Park club were seven places and 30 points inferior to the champions last season;
United won 11 more matches, scored 32 more goals and conceded 18 fewer.

Portsmouth have won three of the five Premier League matches against Manchester United at Fratton Park and lost just once;
that defeat being 1-3 on 11 February 2006 - Ruud van Nistelrooy scored United's first
and Cristiano Ronaldo got the other two.

明天一大早要赶去某地方办事，算是近年来少有错过联赛不看的一次了。

前场依旧没人，如何解决特维兹的长途奔波劳碌就成为问题了。

这一仗实话说我抱着输球的心态来看待的。

要不要起来看呢？

LS太低调了

我茅又要被贵联操了么？赛季前已经被操2次了

竹杆也伤了,没看点

怎么这么晚比？我联这礼拜还有超级杯是吧？

Reds close in on Berba

Juande Ramos has told the Tottenham board it is time to give up the fight to keep Dimitar Berbatov from Manchester United's clutches. Spurs have been angered by United's public courting of their Bulgaria striker but the Spaniard wants an end to the feud so that he can bring in a replacement before the end of the transfer window on Monday. Berbatov was left out of Saturday's defeat against Sunderland and fined a week's wages for not being ready for the White Hart Lane game. United are ready to offer £25m for the 27-year-old and Ramos is already lining up Ajax star Klaas-Jan Huntelaar as a replacement. A perturbed Ramos said: "We need to get this matter resolved before the transfer deadline. If Berbatov goes, we will need time to sign a replacement. We want to have the best centre forward we can possibly get. This is the first time I have faced this problem as a coach and the truth is I have found it a conflicting situation to be in."

The Times claim United made a second formal bid for Berbatov on Saturday in the region of £25 million and expect him to sign in the next few days.

In other news, Sir Alex has revealed that Rio Ferdinand will be his future captain at Old Trafford. Sir Alex made Ferdinand his skipper last season in the absence of Gary Neville and Ryan Giggs. And with that duo coming to the end of their careers, Sir Alex said: “In the long term, Rio will be our captain. There is no question about that."

Following the closing ceremony of the Olympic Games in Beijing, it emerged that Lord Coe made a concrete proposal for Sir Alex to become the Great Britain manager/coach at the 2012 Games in London
