Blair’s Premier Preseason Plot…
In a mystical turn of football fate, Harvey Blair — the former Liverpool wonder-kid — has been told to rev up his engines and snag those preseason minutes like they’re a golden ticket to Willy Wonka’s chocolate factory. Blair’s been loafing on the sidelines after a hamstring hiccup, but Portsmouth’s head honcho, John “The Mousetrick” Mousinho, wants him to dash back onto the pitch like a cheetah wearing new Nikes. It’s showtime at Fratton Park for Harvey-boy!
The lad went from dressing in Liverpool’s red to the glamour of Portsmouth, where making the starting eleven is like trying to beat Ronaldo in a header contest — not easy! Last season was spent mostly on the bench warming seats and counting seagulls at the port—Twelve appearances and only a single goal? Some would call that a mere drizzle, not a downpour! But worry not, Blair Bear is gearing up to huff, puff, and blow the stadium doors down with those flying feet once more.
As cautious as a cat in a room full of rocking chairs, Blair’s sparking up his gears ahead of the new season. After his salute to Forrest Gump against Hull City — running the ball 70 yards with players stuck like statues — it’s full steam ahead. “It’s been a crazy rollercoaster,” says Blair, who looks forward to rolling in goals like they’re on special offer. Pack your sandwiches, folks, because Harvey’s comeback tour is about to kick off in senior-friendly style!
