Pompey and Man City

Me and Joe had a full-on Football Weekend.  Pompey v Stevenage and Man City v Liverpool...and Joe even got his hands on the Premier League and FA Cup trophies!
POMPEY V STEVENAGE.  Pre-match grub...Come On Pompey...
Pompey players warming up before the big match....Joe looks a bit worried (he is right to be!)
We're off!
Pompey were awful and got beat 3 v 0.  But the Pompey fans won the singing and there were still a few hundred still singing half an hour after the game had ended....

We stayed with Mark and Rebecca in Nottingham on Saturday night and then drove up to Manchester to the National Football Museum...
Joe checking out some kits...
We are the champions!
We discovered that the 1966 World Cup winning team had an extra member....
Shooting practice...
Yes...that's how they used to do it....Passing the kids down to the front....
MAN CITY v LIVERPOOL.  We went to the Ethiad for the second big game of the weekend....
A Japanese tourist wanted a photo with 'real City fan'  :-)
It was a brilliant game.  Full of speed, skill and aggression.  0 v 0 at half-time.
Both teams came close....
In the second half Liverpool scored from a penalty, but Man City piled on the pressure...
At last the equaliser.  Great game.  Good result.  1v1...
What a brilliant weekend of football....
