TEAM NOTES
Coach: Harry Redknapp (since December 2005) Premiership
Record: 4-15-6
Rank: 19th, 18 points
Last Result: 2-0 loss at Newcastle United, February 4
Streak: Lost 1 Next Game: vs. Manchester United, February 11 Portsmouth continue to languish in the relegation zone at least seven points from safety following a 2-0 loss at Newcastle United. Charles N'Zogbia and Alan Shearer, with his record 201st goal for the Magpies, decided the contest, and coach Harry Redknapp declared: "Newcastle played really well today. They have not been playing that way for some time and haven't played well all season. It was interesting they could put in a performance like that after such a bad run. But they have a team full of good players and it was difficult for us." Striker Lomana LuaLua has asked for privacy while he grieves the death of his 18-month-old son, who died while his father was in Egypt playing for DR Congo in the African Cup of Nations. This Saturday, Pompey host Manchester United who beat them 3-0 at Old Trafford in December.
