Re: Match Day Thread: Portsmouth (FA CUP)
Really good performance that.
No idea how strong Portsmouth's line-up was, suspect not very, but they looked off in every way - crap kit, no threat, no anything.
Back to winning aways and hopefully either the crappest team left in the next round, or a big game against a giant.
Only slight downside what looks a pretty obvious excuse for an outbound player not to get cup tied.
Not quite Grant's cold, but a very convenient indeed "illness".

We need to play Barbie Girl by Aqua when he runs on to the pitch. It is, to the best of a 2 minute internet search, Denmark's most famous song.

My God that was cold. Credit to Pompey fans and our Terrace for keeping up the noise and making it a decent atmosphere. Love the FA Cup.

They’ll just revert to the timetable that they used a few years back.

Some of their players had clearly been watching WWE on Netflix this week, particularly Devlin and Saydee.
It was a great performance from what was a mixture of first team and reserves. Bishop looked very comfortable when he came on although you have to feel for Shamal.
The exclusion of Joe Low will naturally leave us all sceptical but Bradley seems to be a decent signing and naturally we have the new lad, plus Declan.
All in all a decent night but I’m not sure about anybody else - it certainly didn’t feel like FA Cup 3rd round weekend. Not a fan of moving FA Cup games to a Friday evening.

Villa away on a Saturday 3pm KO wouldn’t be too bad, a return to Villa Park after 24 years, and we’re due a win .
Re: Match Day Thread: Portsmouth (FA CUP)
Butcher has been unlucky. Last season when he joined, I thought he was EXACTLY what we needed at the time. He knitted us together and went about his work so neatly and I don't recall him putting a foot wrong or having a bad game.
To then lose your place to loan player that we have all fallen in love with must be gutting after you've staked your claim.
Football is a cruel world.
