Portsmouth 2 1 Liverpool


I took the bus down to Gunwharf, first time in a long time since I have taken a long bus ride. The journey was ok not to packed so I didn’t have to sit next to the weird one. Once I arrived at the Hard interchange I got of the bus and had a look at where the proposed new football ground would be, as I looked round I saw more Pompey fans pointing and scratching their heads at the space between the train station and H.M.S. Warrior mmmmmm lets see what happens with that in four years. At this point I found out I left my hat on the bus I loved that hat. As I got to Pompey early I text Mum to meet me early and so we went to The Ship Anson for a pint and a chat about the ground and the game coming up. We then went into Gunwharf for another drink and sat outside under a parasol and people watched for a bit. Still thirsty we headed for The Honest Politian good name but time caught us by surprise and we only had twenty minuets to get to the bloody ground on a hot day it got a bit sweaty. We got to the ground a few minuets late!!!!!!!!!!!!! But it didn’t matter we won!

The game was very good with Liverpool playing a second string it was up to us to win and we did. We got a goal on 27 Liverpool keeper Jerzy Dudek's misjudgement allowed Benjani Mwaruwari to chip over him and nod in for Pompey's opener. James was also the unlikely catalyst in helping Pompey take the lead with a lovely kick from his area to Mwaruwari to score. Kranjcar, who had come on for Matthew Taylor, was left in acres of space as he chested down a long diagonal Lauren ball and slotted into the far corner with the outside of his right foot.Liverpool came back in the second half when Hyypia headed in a Robbie Fowler corner. But Pompey held on for the win.
