    There’s a few highlights on the BBC site. Only thing it doesn’t cover is the potential red card and punch-up.

    If ever there was a year to have a cup run it's this year, there will only be a maximum of seven Premier League sides in the last 16 and as few as four if replays are lost. A kind draw and who knows?...

    Well where do you start....the only positive is we scrambled a draw and are still in the cup. Which I suppose is massive.

    However, Ive heard poor, dire etc etc but WHY. I think everyone of their players was over 6 2 yet we played the ball in the air constantly! they were stronger than us and we lost most second balls and challenges. I understand the conditions weren't good so with a small ball playing midfield and front line why didn't we keep the ball on the ground.?...…...I can understand why we didn't play from the back yesterday but hope last weeks terrible error hasn't stopped this for good.

    What did surprise me yesterday that their midfield and even defenders looked more comfortable on the ball!! at times it was like a hot potato with us constantly giving the ball away and needing sometimes 2/3 touches to gain control to pass....(Pompey did not have this problem so cant blame conditions for that) .there was hardly any link up play yet apart from Manning they've played together for months now and was I believe our strength until 3 weeks ago. Are they tired, missed Eze (but from all accounts hes not doing it lately anyway) need some fresh faces or Cameron, Rangel, Hemed and Luongo need to get back sharpish as something seems to have changed IMO

    Very true.

    I have just checked the full results and there are quite a few "easier teams" in the draw. Plus there is always the chance that the "big teams" draw each other.

    However, the others teams will be probably saying that with team like "QPR & Portsmouth" we have a good chance.

    It’s got a bit of a World Cup feeling about it. If not now, probably never.

    If we can’t beat Pompey at home after they’ve played 2 games when we’ve only had one, McLaren wants hanging. They were dogshit on Saturday.

    If we can't beat Pompey at home then we should forget about any hopes ot aspirations of going further in this competition.

    Both us and Portsmouth face FA charge for the handbags.
