God I look ruff not even had a drink in ages, maybe thats why. Well it will be nice to pick a pub for next week so I will let you know Play Up Pompey!!!!!!!!

The Scum Who!!!!!!

Watching the local ITV news tonight I noticed that the team down the road are playing a league game at home, wow I have almost forgot about them ok I put the TV on Sunday to check the score and they lost yes!!!! . But as a rule I don’t think about them. I have some friends who support that team, and I know they are pissed of with Pompey as I always get abuse from them just because I am wearing a Pompey top in S******pton fools! So Play Up Pompey and may the S***s keep marching down to insignificance! (But I may check the score later tonight ;-)

Pompey 0 - 0 Liverpool

Another early start for Pompey and an early and long trip for the away fans, all the way from up north, Sky just don’t care about the real fans!
So once we got to Pompey we looked for a pub near were we parked the car, but I forgot this is England even with 24 hour drinking some of the local landlords not to far away from the ground decided not to open till 11am. Don’t let me hear them moan about poor sales this year when they don’t take advantage of 20000 football fans coming early on a hot Saturday wanting a drink before the match. The pubs that were open before 11am had plenty of people drinking in the sun but this is England.
We ended up in the Marquee at the back of the North stand again I only had I beer still on pain killers after I had four wisdom teeth removed ouch!.
So to the game Liverpool have in my opinion been in great form this season, after thumping six passed Derby County last week we knew we would be in for a hard game. The first half we gave the ball away once to often, and we were lucky not to go behind from these mist passes. Papa Bouba Diop played well on his first start for Pompey and he is a big lad. Pompey should have taken the lead after winning a penalty. Arbeloa certainly had hold of the back of Kanu's shirt, although the infringement was completely needless and it took an excellent save from his compatriot Reina to atone of his error of judgement, that is the last time Kanu will take a pen for Pompey!!!!!!!! Pompey started to take control in midfield, with a Sean Davis strike forcing Reina into action again and by the break Liverpool's forward duo of Crouch and Voronin had become starved of service and increasingly ineffective. The second half was much better for Pompey if only Utaka had scored instead of putting it wide on an open goal along with Muntari who went wide as swell we could have been three up including Kanu missing a penalty we do need a world class striker roll on January. As the game went on it looked moore like a draw even when Liverpool put Gerrard on.
A good point now it’s time for Pompey to start to pick up some points in the next few games Play Up Pompey!!!!!!!!!!!

Arsenal 3-1 Portsmouth

Sorry this is a bit late but I had four Wisdom teeth removed a couple of weeks ago and I have been not in the mood to do to much, but now I am getting better so I am back. Well I did hope we would get a draw out of this but no we played bad in the first half, a bit better in the second but we had lost the game by then. I hope we get back on form for the last of our hard games against Liverpool Play Up Pompey!!!!

Tranfers

So we lost Gary O'Neil to Boro for 5 mill, well thats football I remember his first game when he was just 16. Sad to se him go but onwards ans upwards, we did get in Pape Bouba Diop and Glen Johnson (HE WILL BE A GOOD BYE IF HE PLAYS AS WELL AS HE DID FOR THE FIRST PART OF HIS LOAN LAST TERM) Play Up Pompey!!!!!!!!

So It's Back To London

So Pompey are of to The Emirates Stadium today. I dont think we will get much from this but we did get a draw after going 2 up last time so you never know and it's on the telly good old sky.

An E-Mail to The BBC

This is an E-Mail I sent to the BBC about not putting Utaka's gaol in the top ten of the mounth, bloody sate funded T.V.

Dear Sirs

After watching MOTD last night( 1ST Of September) I noticed that you and your team did not put John Utaka’s goal against Bolton in the top ten goals of the Mounth. I know that Football is full of opinions that differ but I for the life of me can not see how at least half of the goals in the top ten be better than Utaka’s goal. As I am taxed by you thro the Government I would like a reply also as I am a share holder in your/my TV network. I await with anticipation.


Yours Sincerely
Gary Bell
