Here is the second half of our feature on the Premiership managers, focussing on the bottom half of the table. You can read the first half here. 11.

Arsenal produced a thrilling comeback to beat Chelsea 2-1 at Stamford Bridge in the second live game of the day – controversy here as Robin Van Persie, in bringing Arsenal level, was a clear yard offside – Scolari was fuming afterward, particularly as Kalou was denied an opportunity early on when he was, in fact, [...]
Portsmouth were cruelly denied a famous victory over AC Milan last night. After taking a 2-0 lead they were pegged back by a fantastic Ronaldinho free kick, but Pippo Inzaghi broke Portsmouth hearts in the last minute, sliding home a cross to bring it to 2-2 and ensure Milan’s qualification from the group.

Although in mitigation, they have been hilarious this season – the only reason more jokes haven’t appeared here is that they are available everywhere else. But we must now quickly acknowledge the appointment of ‘Arry Redknapp. Will he save them from relegation? Yes. And that must [...]
