Portsmouth 2 Manchester United 1


Well it was another bloody late kick off but that did not matter as Pompey put a third win over “United” at home in the last four. But it what seems like years it was time for a home game, so off we went to the pub and what a good pub it was. The pub is one of five in Pompey that shows Prem football illegally at 3pm on Saturdays power to the people! .The only thing that was missing from the pub was Newcastle Brown ale, so a John Smith had to do.
So to the match and what a match with Manchester United losing to Roma and looking a little bit tired we went for their throats. At one point Rooney was bundled over in front of me so I lifted my shirt to show I had a big belly to. At that point the man on the radio commented that “a man in the crowd has just shown his beer belly as if to say look Rooney I have one to” Pompey went ahead when Edwin van der Sar could only parry Benjani's shot and Matt Taylor followed up to score the Pompey fans went mad and me. United pushed forward but David James denied Cristiano Ronaldo and Ryan Giggs United looked more frustrated as the game went on, before Rio Ferdinand put Taylor's pass into his own net to put Pompey 2-0 up. But almost instantly John O'Shea replied from close range but James made sure of victory with a superb last-gasp save from Alan Smith. With two BIG tackles from Primus and they were perfect that will get Rooney back for diving against us at Old Trafford.

Pompeygary’s Man of the Match James world class saves but no clean sheet.
Pompeygary’s Worst Man Richardson very poor indeed.
