Yes, a gutting day. I really thought we would beat them. Ref let them get away with everything, especially Johnson who hacked down Ledley when he was through on goal. Didn't he also disallow an equaliser by Loovens for hand ball when it came off his shoulder?

Yes we were robbed by the English referee Mr Mike Dean on that day. He allowed Johnson to get away with every foul and he should have been red carded on a few occasions. I thought Loovens had equalised for us,but no Dean felt that he had controlled the ball with his hand!
I think that Dean should watch that game again and note how much he favoured Portsmouth. I too was gutted that day, but felt our goalkeeper should have controlled the ball better, as he allowed Kanu to score.
In the past now, but it was great to be there that day
