Portsmouth 1 Fulham 1

Well of to Gunwharf Quays for a meal before the game, so I met Mum under the Spinnaker Tower. So with no breakfast well very little we set of to The Old Customs House Pub. With a pint of HSB (not the same now Fullers brew it now) and mushroom stroganoff it set me up for a good day. After the meal we set of for Fratton Park with one stop on the way (well it was a long way) for another drink at The Wine Vaults lovely.

So to the game, well I have never seen Pompey have so much domination and not win. I have to give it to Fulham (who have not won against us since we got promoted) they played well, but for a team of that quality and us at home we should of won it easily. The only difference between the two sides was Antti Niemi Fulham’s goalkeeper he did some fantastic saves and some poor finishing from Kanu and co.

One might have guessed that Pompey would enjoy a bit of luck after they had marked Armistice Day with the presentation before the game of three survivors from the D-Day Normandy landings, but when Knight put one in on 57 mins after we had been top dog on the pitch and hit the post and bar I said that we would regret those misses. That was until Cole came on to score at 74 mins on his backside to give us a point. So 2 points dropped but we have 20 points in the bag this side of Christmas which is nice. By the way I got home late because I forgot where I parked the car silly me.

Pompeygary’s Man of the match Antti Niemi the ex scummer kept us out!!!

Pompeygary’s Worst Man Stefanovic is looking a bit slow now.
