Pompey 0-1 Spurs

This one will be short as we did not win, not that we didn’t deserve to win we didn’t. I can take a defeat and this one I could Spurs were first to the ball and wanted it more. I said before the game we need to stop drawing at home and a defeat may just be what we need in a strange way.

The pub was one of the best I have been to in a while, a good down to earth pub, I have passed this pub so many times over the years and I think it is a little gem.

The game was following the same pattern to all the last few home games a bit dull and a bit of a stalemate, all the teams that come to the park seem to make it hard for us at home. We have failed to find the net in four of our last five league matches at Fratton Park. Most of the first half was ok but neither team making a goal. Spurs looked the most potent after the break as Lennon began to cause havoc down the right flank. The game became stretched as both teams opened up and went for the win, but clear chances were at a premium, particularly for the home side. But when Lennon clipped his pin-point cross to the back post finding Berbatov, the striker steered home on 81 minutes to put the game beyond the home side. Dam well thats the end of our eleven unbeaten league run but what a run, so it’s only Liverpool away this Saturday so PLAY UP POMPEY!!!!!!!
