BIRMINGHAM CITY v PORTSMOUTH
April 2005
Should be 3 points home against Portsmouth,
right? . . .
|
Pandiani comes out with a mascot, followed by Jamie Clapham.
A classy, cultured left back in my opinion. That's Clapham, not
the mascot. |
"Birmingham, meet Pompey. Pompey meet Birmingham. These
pre-match meetings are now a Premiership tradition. |
Pennant tussles with a Pompey defender. |
Pandiani does his best to get on the end of a
hoof-ball.
I'm sure he wanted to be back in Uruguay at times like this. |
Pennant turns a full-back inside out, while our forwards in the
box drink lattes and eat biscotti. |
On the stroke of half-time 'Skippy' Lazaridis gets in the only
real shot of the game.
Consequently another photographer nearby spent the rest of the
day wiping Vegemite off his lens. |
Using the gloves he borrowed from Mickey Mouse, Maik Taylor
signals to the bench that he'd like four sugars in his tea. |
It's a Blue World as Nafti leads the fans in a rousing rendition
of Mr. Blue Sky.
Or perhaps not. |
The ball gets hoofed over everyone's heads, then our blue boys
get on the chase. Ahhh, the Steve Bruce days. |
Darren Carter rises to keep Pompey under pressure. |
A young Blues fan from Chelmsley Wood, or maybe
Bosnia, gives me a wave. |
Ashdown the Portsmouth keeper clears form Heskey,
and another memorable 0-0 draw goes down in Blues' history. |
