Pompey swept aside as 2009 comes to an end

Portsmouth 1 (Belhadj 74) Arsenal 4 (Eduardo 28, Nasri 42, Ramsey 69, Song 81)
(Premiership)

I have to admit that I have a soft spot for Portsmouth. Whether it is the proximity to where I live (south coast), the fact they seem to be punching above their weight, or a memory of the day they generously applauded our team off the field after we'd destroyed them in the FA Cup, I don't know.
