The pub is the pub John Westwood has a swift half before the game. He was there but I did not get to talk to him I was enjoying my drink for the penultimate match of the season. This is a real Pompey pub with real Pompey people blue and white all the way.
Portsmouth's hopes of claiming a Uefa Cup place by finishing fifth suffered a setback as they lost to Blackburn. Roque Santa Cruz grabbed the winner with a low shot after a neat one-two with strike partner Jason Roberts.
I can say that the ref assistant got it wrong with the offside rule a few times for both sides a very poor show, almost as bad as Pompey!
No James for this game ( Hope he is back for the F.A CUP!) so it was Jamie Ashdown in goal But the Fratton Park side did not clear their lines and David Bentley crossed for Nelsen, whose stooping header forced an excellent save from Ashdown. And Blackburn compounded their misery by taking the lead when Santa Cruz grabbed his 21st goal of the campaign.
