Well it seems Pompey draw to this lot every season at home!
The pub was small but ok it was one of those pubs that is not much bigger than the average living room, the last time I was in it I think I was very ill outside oh my wasted days of my youth!
For a draw the game was very enjoyable but neither side could penetrate to score.
David James' point-blank save denied Michael Owen to salvage a point for Portsmouth after Popmpey failed to close in on fifth position. Newcastle had threatened when Geremi's long-range shot and Mark Viduka's volley forced good saves from James.
Harry Redknapp's side also came close to a goal with second-half chances from both Glen Johnson and Jermain Defoe.
But it was a great save off the face of James that denied Owen from scoring the best of the game's few chances.With both sides now settled, the midfields began to cancel each other out, with only half chances falling to Viduka and Nwankwo Kanu.It was a game we should of won, but with the Wembley win and turning over West Ham in the last 7 days I think it was a fare result. But can we still make 5th?
