We Gained a Point at Fratton Park with 9 Men!

We Gained a point at Fratton Park with 9 men and it took Pompey until the 6th Minute of added on time to achieve that!

So we have gone 3 games unbeaten, sounds good doesn`t it?

This is NOT a match report the only minute by minute blow is solely awarded to Meyler literally! Yes he took all of a minute to enter the field of play and depending on which side of the fence you are sitting on he either a) Led with arm to gain leverage in his jump to win the ball or b) he never even looked at the ball and led with his elbow to take out Steve Finnan.

Well Kevin Friend decided that b) was the appropriate, nuff said.

Cattermole the ever present dangerman for any opposing midfielder was first booked for unsporting behaviour and then received his second yellow for a mis-timed challenge that took his foot over the ball and Friend got shot of Lee with no hesitation.

Steve Bruces` reaction:-

"The two of them, for me, are stupid. I can't defend them. In the end it has cost us the match."

Meyler has not made too many friends for this performance and Cattermole may well be judged to have been a bit emotional for reacting to O`hara, either way Bruce is right.

Personally i watched the match via t`internet and yet again i get that hollow feeling of how all the lads and lasses are feeling from the 1400+ that travelled down and are facing a long journey back.

A quick gauge of feeling via twitter.

Q. How do you feel now after that match?

"as per fecking usual! Pissed right off!"@AnthGtoQ

We are up against the team we last beat in November (yes i know it`s February) & Arsenal a world apart from when we met them and nicked a win against them. Ok so we now have a weakened midfield through injury and suspension to face up to them, but we`re unbeaten in 3!!!
