Blues draw blank in Magpies battle
POMPEY'S hopes of a fifth-place finish in the Premier League were dented after they could only manage a 0-0 draw at home Newcastle.
Harry Redknapp's side failed to find their top form - but that is perhaps understandable after their exertions in recent weeks.
Jermain Defoe perhaps had the best chance of the game as he volleyed wide from Sulley Muntari's fine crossfield pass.
But Michael OWen also saw David James make a remarkable save as the Pompey keeper deflected the close-range effort over the bar with his head.
The Blues were also denied a penalty in the latter stages of the first half after Newcastle defender Steven Taylor appeared to handle Kanu's shot at goal.
But Kevin Keegan's resurgent side certainly played their part in the contest and deserved at least a point from the match.
