So after the Magnificent Seven we embarked on the sobering journey to the south coast. The game is normally poker, today it was Cluedo. Who did it?
There were five under suspicion, 'arry, Storrie, Milan, Amdy and Willie. For once, Moysey was not under suspicion.

It was such a long journey and rumours were running rife. Why wasn't 'arry 'ome when the bizzies moved in on 'is missus? Why wasn't Milan sniffing after Cilla like other Chairman? Where and who was Willie (nice one to ask the missus)? Who and where was Amdy? Then obviously, what's the Storrie?
We all once did it with the lead pipe, you know the one? How do you make her scream when you make love? Wipe your dick on the curtains!
Anyway, we did have a clue on Moysey's team - same again - he could not change it, or could he? Maybe a clue later. 'arry on the other hand was playing it close to his chest, asked who was on the bench he said Judge... we said no 'arry, we are talking subs!

Seven days on and we had all been foregoing a tin of Coke for & 7Up, hoping that seeing the World Cup Bottler do an 'arry twitching impression that we could press 'arry to take a step forward in an ID parade after a similar crushing. Maybe we should have changed the formation as 'arry is still walking free?
Now we came into this game not having beaten a team in the top half of the Prem. If you beat someone you tend to get banged up and at Pompey, that simply does not happen, they'd drawn there last two games at home. Even with the bare bellied 'Slash' cheering them on in the home end.
We wished that we'd saved a couple of the Magnificent Seven for this week as the first half was pretty sterile, no one could escape the grasp of the defence's, Pompey had the better chances but we held firm, we were looking like a tough safe to crack and the 'Scummers' did not have the combination. Joey and Roger held firm.

Half Time: Pompey 0 Everton 0

The talk at HT was why 'arry's missus 'ad 'er own computer when she couldn't even switch on 'is?
and where exactly was 'e when the Police came calling with the same photographers who were behing the nets today with The Sun in their eyes?
The second half was much the same as the first. The home team pressing but The Toffee's hold out well in defence. Our best chance early on fell to Stevie P but he thought about how to get out of the place and booted one high up to us in the crowd, we sent the ball back with a file in it.
We made a change, Stevie P was trying to show that he was Schofield from Prison Break, trying to get out, in Stevie P's case it was by a leg busting tackle rather than the chicken's claw! On came AJ, later to be followed by Big Vic who came on for The Yak (the Yak took immense stick, hopefully he will take it out on the Russki's this week).

It was now end to end but the defences held firm. It was not to be, 'arry got off with it and Moyesy was 'appy. A game of two weeks, last week we showed what we could do in attack, this week we showed what we could do in defence.
Me 'arl fella once said, 'If anyone ever told you that they saw a good nil-nil game then tell them that they were talking through their arse, then ask them six months later to recall what was good about it!'

Not a classic but the unbeaten run continues, eight games now. Timmy's saves meant that we got out of jail free, but it was the defending of Roger and Joey that saw us escape Fratton with a clean record. Given this, on hearing all the evidence, the Blue Kipper Star Man is a tough choice this week. With Mr Testicles having escaped the restraint of the Pompey boxers there was only two contenders, the spokesperson for the jury gave it to Roger, immense throughout and helped to contribute to our once monthly clean sheet.

So we are on the run, still unbeaten since robbed by Mr Clattenburg, bring on the Ruski's on Wednesday when we shall continue our march into Europe. If 'arry 'ad offered us a draw before the game what would we 'ave said? COYB FTRS
