Well it's first home game of the season and it's a night game under those old floodlights lovely!!!!
So to the pub I went, this is a good place for a pre match drink and chat, it still looks like a building site in the next room! it's been a year since we a a drink at this place and a had a feeling they would of finished by now. This bar now has three tv's in it one showing Sky Sports News no spond the other two Setanta with sound odd! Once mum arrived the drinks started (well two) and we sat on a leather sofa nice.
Now it was time to get to Fratton Park! This lovely old ground is falling apart but I love it. It almost seems like it's alive I have been in the stadium when it was empty (not for a game ok) and you could almost hear it breathing if you know what I mean no? oh well!
Web lost the game to Manchester United but it was close very close. After only 12 seconds when Papa Bouba Diop's shot whistled past the post, before Wayne Rooney shot straight at David James from 12 yards.
Portsmouth might have lacked any real cut and thrust but boss Harry Redknapp will take some consolation that their performance was better than the one that saw them thumped 4-0 by Chelsea in their opening game of the season last week.
Loan player Armand Traore looked very good for a young player impressed I was.
Jermain Defoe and Peter Crouch were playing their first game together at Fratton Park and they almost combined to get Crouch in, but Evra nicked the ball of the former Liverpool man's toes when he about to shoot.
An hour of the game had been played before Portsmouth forced Edwin van der Sar into his first save, beating away substitute Thomas's vicious drive.
Manchester United worked the ball inside Diop, for the second time in a few minutes, Evra crossed from the left and Fletcher's effort went scrambled in off Campbell as Sylvain Distin failed to hook it off the line.
Well that game keeps us at the foot of the table only one way to go..... up you idiot.
