The Pheonix

The Emsworth gang went for a curry in Southsea tonight and ended up in the fabulous Pheonix pub... 

With it's remarkable ceiling display...

Pompey 1 v 0 Leeds Utd

Today Pompey played top of the table Leeds Utd, so we had some nice grub at the Kurdistan Restaurant before the game to give us some energy :-)

Colby Bishop scores!

Yeeeesssss.   And we win 1v0. Amazing.

Bosham U16s v Lancing U16s

It's coming up to the end of the season for the Bosham U16s.

Looks like they are going to finish 2nd.

Bosham lost 2v0 to Lancing.

Work night out Southsea

We had a Big Work Night Out down to Southsea tonight.  In the King Street Tavern.

We walked down Norfolk Street, where I lived as a baby when we first moved to Pompey.

We went in the fabulous Hole in the Wall pub.  This is the ceiling :-)

Great night out

Devils Punch Bowl

Me, Joe and Grandma went to visit Lisa in Brighton today.  we went for lunch at the Devil's Punchbowl.

We had a short very windy walk.

Villa 2 v 1 Spurs FA Cup

On the way back from watching Pompey in Sheffield, me and Joe stopped in Birmingham to watch Villa play Spurs in the FA Cup.  On the way we stopped in at The Vine, an amazing Desi pub near West Brom.  Best pre-match grub ever...

Villa Park...

In a fancy lounge over-looking the pitch before the game...

Come on Villa.

We were up on the Holt End.  Villa won 2v1.  First appearance for Rashford.  Great stop :-)

Sheff Utd 2 v 1 Pompey

Me and Joe drove up to Sheffield to watch Pompey play Sheffield Utd.  We met Jack Veness and his mates in a pub before the game.  Jack went to Uni in Sheffield.

Bramhall Lane.  Come on Pompey.

Sheff Utd scored first, but we equalised.  1v1 at half-time.

But we couldn't hold on for the draw.  Lost 2v1 :-(

We went out for dinner in China Town to commiserate...

Wrong result, but great trip.
