Playing it Up - Pompey

BBC SPORT Report

Liverpool endured the frustration of being held to a goalless draw by a dogged Portsmouth side at Anfield.

The Reds were allowed to dominate play as an injury-ravaged Pompey barricaded their goal behind the massed ranks of a spirited and stubborn defence.

0 - 0 at Liverpool isn't a bad result when you are expecting the bubble to burst at any moment. 15 games into the season and when I see the league table and Pompey are still second it still amazes me.
Now I don't expect Pompey to be anywhere near 3rd place at the end of the season, and even a European place isn't a real possibility, but next season could be a different story.
One thing that has made a change this year is the solid defence led by Sol Campbell. Whatever his problems at Arsenal, he has shown he is still a world class player. Perhaps being coached by Tony Adams helps a lot.

I've actually got tickets for the Pompey home match against Everton, so I'll be taking the two boys and my Dad will be coming down. This will be the first Pompey game I've been too since coming back from America (3 years ago last week). My eldest has decided to support Pompey down to the fact he was born about 500yards (if that) from the Milton Road stand, which coincidently is where we will be at the Everton game. Hope it doesn't rain since that is the open end.
