I suspect the benefit of this point, or loss of three, will really only be seen at the end of the season but I was a bit disappointed as I thought with the week West Ham have had, the team might have been galvanised and gone on to take all three points after Matthew Upson put them ahead half-way through the second half.
It wasn't to be though as Danny Webber's goal in the 75th minute gave the home side a draw and ensured Portsmouth remain rooted to the bottom while the Hammers remain out of the bottom three.
Beyond that though, there is not much to add as a chilly trip to Portsmouth in mid-week was never on the cards and the shots and goals highlights on Match of the Day revealed little except some disappointment from Zola. Let's move on, shall we?
Born at an early age a mere defenders' spit from the Boleyn ground, Billy Blagg has seen every West Ham game from 1898 onwards. Blagg was mentioned by Kenneth Wolstenholme in 1966 as one of the people on the pitch during the famous Hammers win over West Germany that lifted the World Cup and he returned to the pitch again for the 1975 FA Cup Final but stayed on the terrace for 1980 FA Cup victory. Blagg, 26, now lives with his eighth wife and innumerable children in a small semi-detached with chintz curtains in Dagenham, Essex and still attends every Hammers match and training session.
