FA charges Pompey boss Redknapp
Portsmouth boss Harry Redknapp has been charged with directing abusive and/or insulting words at a match official during the game with Manchester City.

Redknapp was sent to the stands during the 2-1 victory after he voiced his opinion following Joey Barton's tackle on his midfielder Pedro Mendes.

Mendes was consequently taken off on a stretcher and Redknapp was dismissed from the dugout by referee Mike Dean.

The Portsmouth boss has until 27 February to respond to the charge.

I try to not be too partial in this blog, well I'm failing but i've not had it for 2 weeks yet. Anyway, I just find it HILLARIOUS, with all the whining that Redknapp did about MCFC's behavior during and after the match IT IS HE that is charged!

In other news: Take THAT! is now a tag, I can't wait to write something about Port Vale.

From MEN:Police alert FA over 'gesture'

THE Football Association are to be informed of an alleged incident involving a unnamed Manchester City player at the end of Saturday`s Premiership clash against Portsmouth at Fratton Park.
Hampshire Police have stressed they are not launching an investigation, but will be liaising with the FA after being alerted by one of their officers.

From the BBC:
Man City give backing to Barton

Manchester City insist midfielder Joey Barton "made no offensive gesture" at Fratton Park following the club's 2-1 defeat against Portsmouth on Saturday.
...
"The club have not received a complaint regarding Joey Barton's behaviour," said City spokesman Paul Tyrrell.

Hampshire Police will tell the Football Association of an alleged incident involving an unnamed City player but will not hold their own investigation.

I love how it's an unnamed player, and everyone assumes it's Sir Joseph. Hell, I did too, as I was reading all the football news via my google reader feeds this morning.

I am now going to start a rumor that it was indeed one Bernardo Corradi who gave the flip under the chin Italian "fungool" sign to Redders. You heard it here first
