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!!!!!!!!!!!
