I am writing in to report on the Portsmouth match.

In the current print version of The Gooner, the editor starts the edition by defending the negativity that had been printed in this esteemed tomb recently, saying it simply reflects the views of those who had wrote in. Well, I thought to myself as I sat outside the stadium with my beer before the match, I'll write a positive report of the Pompey match to give the zine some balance. (Ed’s note – as match views in The Gooner itself are allocated to writers in advance, we already had this covered, so are using Mike’s words on the website to ensure they are not written in vain)

Did you know that we are now in the midst of our longest unbeaten league run of the season - six games!!! We kept a clean sheet for the sixth league match of the season! No one was sent off! When Peter “Freak” Crouch hit the post in the first half, that was the fourth time that our woodwork had been hit in 48 hours - surely, we are the luckiest team in the world, at the moment!!! When we sang “Stand up, if you hate Tottenham”, the away fans got up as one, and joined in - bliss!

Nasri had moments when you thought, he could be our replacement playmaker - great! Gallas scored yet again – that’s five times this season - wow! Cesc Fabregas' captain column suggests that he will be the nicest captain we've ever had - no one was criticised, friend or foe (Alonso)! When Bendtner was found defending in the left back position in the first half, the bloke behind me made me laugh when, exasperated, he screamed, “What you doing back there, you stupid bastard!”

More match tickets are going on general sale, meaning more of us can watch the Arsenal! Wenger says were 1 or 2 % away from winning the league - I like those odds! Steve Williams, on at half time for a presentation, has put on more weight than I have in 20 years - wonderful! Adebayor proved that Bendtner is not the worst striker at the club, based on his performance v Pompey - well done, Ade! Tony Adams got the biggest cheer of the day!

There were no forks in the Upper Tier, so I got Chicken Balti pie all over my fingers before the game - my neighbours could not talk about anything else but having a curry after the match - marvellous! (I tried…)
