UK Soccer Forecast THE GOOD SHIP POMPEY

Spurs May Lose To Rejuvenated Manchester City

By ARCHIE QUICK

Manchester City are the surprise team of the First- Division. They have not only pulled them- selves off the floor they finished one point away from relegation last season → but they are now actually challenging for the Cham- pionship with their deadly United rivals tailed off, temporarily at least.

Tottenham's visit to Maine Road, therefore, is' fraught with title possibilities, but such is the current form of the rejuvenated City that I think they will shrug off the expensive Spurs' challenge and take both points.

The Old Trafford club will beg In the toils at Blackburn, and in an all-Lancashire battle, Rovers will probably get the better of United.

There is a "London Derby" duel between Pulhant and West Hom, both well placed in the table, and this could end level as so many of these local clashes do.

Portsmouth FC, as I write, are bracketed bottom of the Second Division with Hull City. Last season they were still in the First Division after 32 years' membership in that grade. Proud Pompey had made the top grade after only three years in Division Two.

They were Cup winners in 1939, and they won the First Division Cham- pionship in the successive seasons of 1948-49 and 1949-50. Now, after being relegated, they threatened to fall clean through Division Two. What is the trouble at Fratton Park? No one seems to know the Brewer, although 1. have been asked the question dozens of times in the last few days during a stay in Hampshire.

The whole county is concern- ed, except perhaps Southamp ton FC, who hope to
