Half Time: Portsmouth 0-1 West Ham

A Noble penalty on 24 minutes is all that separates these two sides.  This started slowly but soon became a firecracker of a game with not much love lost between many of these players: you get the feeling there's a lot of bad history between some of these players.  The half has resulted in two yellow cards so far for Pompey.  West Ham dominated early, but after the goal, the expected Pompey response came with a series of corners where Robert Green kept our lead safe.  Overall, West Ham deserve the lead and take it into the dressing room for half time.  

Southampton are one up at Forest; Boro are two down.  Cardiff are still 0-0 at Doncaster.
