Could this be the first of two visits? The result really surprised me due to our lack of confidence in the league. Anyhow, I shall have glass of wine to celebrate, and hope this victory restores belief in the side's ability to win.
Thanks Woopert's for your superb serivce to an exile like me. One day I shall come back to see PFC again. Meantime, I shall make plans to see Real Mallorca.
Thanks Woops - Great result!! I know the competition rates poorly but --- any win is a good win plus a Wembley final!
Well it may be Wembley but I'm still boycotting... I urge you all to boycott too. However, if you must go, then please at least protest academies being in this competition.
