HAWKS!

Wowza's, what a super smashing great weekend!

Friday I went to see You, me and the Atom Bomb (/and an atom bomb, I haven no clue) at the fawcett with Adam, his friend Andy, Claire, Hattie and met Myke and Brad there. The music was pretty dire (Sorry Adam :P) so I sat outside with Myke and we talked lots and it was nice :) Hattie and Claire took off to Whetherspoons cos I think they hated it a little bit, and we went home a little after 11:30. I had to drive home to Augustine Rd after because I was getting up bright and early for GOING TO ANFIELD!

Got up at 7am and Dad and I set off to pick up Grandad Pete and his friend Alf. Started the journey to Liverpool and I fell straight to sleep, my my was it a good idea to bring two pillows and a blanket for the car. Just like being in bed, ish. Stopped off at services in Stafford and loads of H+W fans were milling around. Grandad moaned at the price of Tea in Burger King whilst I went to M+S and treated my self to some Fruit Sherbets, good god they're so yum. We made it to Liverpool in just under 4 hours. Dad said it was quite good timing and also said it sometimes takes him longer than that to get to Swansea when he goes on business. Val's Mum Norma kindly offered to put us up, actually i'm not sure if she offered or if Val forced it upon her but she seemed pleased to see us nevertheless! We got shown to our rooms, it was much like a hotel, hah. I got a lovely double bed with some pink duvert covers - immense.

We set off for the ground around 1pm and I didn't realise how close Goodison and Anfield are together - you can literally walk from one to the other it's that close. No wonder they never play at home on the same day, imagine policing 80,000 people, split in half absolutely hate each others guts. We got some chips and they were selling 'Chip barms' - weird northerners. We went through the turnstile and I was surprised to see the guy taking my tickets was wearing and Everton hat :

We got into the ground to find out we had the worst seats available, I don't what the chances are of that but they were seriously the shittest seats we could have had. Felt a bit sorry for my Grandad as he's got a bad back and has to sit down so if peopel were standing infront of him he couldn't see a thing! We were right in the corner, with the lowest roof EVER on top of us. However when Havant went 1 nil up neither of us cared.

Before kick off every Havant player going was warming up even if they weren't playing haha, you'd never seen so many players warming up! The game began and the Havant Goalie - Scriven managed to keep the ball out for more than 15 minutes so won a big £1,000 holiday or something from the Sun who sponsored him. Amazing. Then Havant got a corner and it was headed in by Richard Pacquette - Everybody went mental! I'm a Portsmouth lass through and through but today I was an honourary Havant fan. My Grandad tried to be un-hooligan like but I could so tell he wanted to leap up and jump around shouting, if only that wouldn't have severely injured himself, hah. It was marvy to take the lead at Anfield, can only imagine how Havant players were feeling. Liverpool got one back and everybody expected it to go on from there and for them to get a comfortable win; which they did get to be fair but not until Havant gave them another scare to make it 1-2! Little Alfie Potter, bless him he looks about 10 but he's a cracking young lad. Totally gonna go far, he's only 18. It ended up 5-2 with a superb shot by Lucas, a Benyoun hatrick and a CLEARLY OFFSIDE Crouch goal at the end. I could hear my Grandad mumbling "Don't let anymore in boys" near the end, hahah. Well Grandad, they didn't. They did themselves very proud and at the end they all jumped around with a sign that said 'Probably the best pub team to be in the FA CUP" legend.

Ray and Rita came round to Norma's and we all got a takeaway that was yumtastic. Watched Match Of the Day - Pompey managed to pull off a win against Plymouth even though we went 1 goal down at home after 5 minutes. I told Adam we'd bring sexy back and check us out, we did.
Didn't really look like we deserved it though considering Jamo's performance, another quality one. We have Preston away at Deepdale in the next round. I really want to go! I'm trying to drag Adam along and Bec wants to go so it'll be wellll fun. Get to see Emma and Chris again too which will be aces cos I don't see them often. Emma is my little ray of sunshine and Chris just smells but I suppose he comes with the package.

We got home around 2:30pm on Sunday and I got soe stuff together and drove down to Adams. We had the most perfect day together. I beat him at scrabble 3 times - OH YEAH! (Yes, our relationship is as fun filled as it sounds, jealous? You should be.) Lots of cuddles were had and we listened to New Found Glory all night. What a lovely way to round off the weekend :)

Caio for now.
