When Portsmouth Teammates Attack…Each Other!

A pair of Tasmanian Devil pups: Mr. Wilson and Mr. Nugent will do well to learn from them!
Crisis club Portsmouth sunk to a new low after two of their players fought each other in a brutal hotel brawl during their trip to Portugal.
Striker David Nugent was allegedly hit across the legs with a lump of wood by defender Marc Wilson during the fight. The amazing bust-up took place in a corridor outside their rooms and were witnessed by team-mates who were forced to step in to prevent the situation escalating even further.
The incident took place at the Villa hotel in Guimares, where the Pompey squad and staff had been staying, in the early hours of Sunday morning.
Hours earlier the team, shorn of theirtop stars who have been sold, were crushed 4-0 by Benfica in a pre-season friendly.
It is believed both Nugent and Wilson had been drinking before the fight broke out.
Onlookers describe Republic of Ireland defender Wilson, 21, as being “out of control” as they battled to calm him down.
Nugent, who was already suffering from a toe injury, is not thought to have been seriously hurt in the assault. (Daily Mirror)

I know the season hasn’t begun but if I were a Pompey fan i’d be worried. Every other premier league team is bringing layers in and getting some good preparation, Pompey have lost 90% of their good players and now have teammates brawling in hotels. For me they are dead certs to go down, the one thing in their favour at the minute is that they have kept David James who will help them draw games they should otherwise of lost, but I don’t think it’ll be enough. Plus there’s always the 1 game that they should of won that he has a calamity moment in and they end up drawing that one too.
Good luck Pompey, you’re going to need it in what looks to be a long hard season ahead.
