Portsmouth 2 Watford 1

Well this the second game in 7 days at home and I really believed that we would get 3 points today, as it was we did but is was not easy.

Having Mum staying over we headed out to Portsmouth at 11:30 in the morning. This was to beat the traffic as it gets increasingly busy as we get closer to Christmas. As the Artillery Arms was the pub for the match we headed of after parking the car, on the way we popped into an old fashioned sweet shop selling sweets by the quarter a real trip back in time. As there was a café next door we went in for a cup of splosh (tea) and it was a real Pompey café with Pompey posters and free copies of the News the local paper in Pompey to read.

After the café we set of for the pub, I haven’t been to this pub for about 8 odd years not changed that much, we got a table in front of the telly with a drink or two and watched Manchester City beat Fulham like we should have done last week.

The game against Watford was hard, Watford like to pull shirts, time waste and hoof the ball up up up in the air its lots of long balls. A team as a hole they are ok but no quality so they play the war they can with the resources they have at there disposal.

We conceded a goal from a corner on the right, DeMerit powered home a header from the edge of the six-yard box after Pompey goalkeeper James had come for a ball he was never going to get, but Kanu ensured the home side went in all square at the break with a clever finish on 44 minutes. So it looked like a draw was on the cards as I expected Watford to hold out for a point. until LuaLua beat them from the spot after Kanu had been pulled back by DeMerit. I don’t watch pens we have always scored since I stopped watching them so Lua Lua put another one in, after he got upset with stuff written about him on the net (and it was not nice) it was good to see him score.

So it’s Newcastle away on Sunday so a no football Saturday this week.

Mums man of the match Davis getting worried how long his hair is going to grow!!!!
