Let's face it, there's absolutely no pressure on Pompey for this one, just like when we were in League One and played them in the FA Cup. All the pressure is on Saints, and Ralph is going to have to really understand the significance of the occasion and select the right players for this.

My fear is someone like Djenepo might do something crazy, like his flying elbow against Brighton, and get sent off. Much rather see Armstrong play for this one.

Also, youngsters could get easily overwhelmed by the crowd. Dropping Valery is an excellent shout, and I'd say the same for Danso. Adams will know what it's all about from the Brum vs Villa derbies.

I wouldn’t mind seeing Djenepo stick a flying elbow onto the chin of a skate :)
 
It's not our fault you're still in League One. This is your ninth season out of the Premier League. We bounced back up in seven, even with administration, points deductions, and League One all thrown in.

True but we didn't have a billionaire bankrolling us. This is only our second season with a billionaire owner and he's not exactly splashing the cash.
