When I heard pompey drawn and then the number following I genuinely thought we had them at home 
bloody Stoke!
bloody Stoke!
Up against Ian Holloway again. Might get to see Chappers again too. Ricardo Fuller is also there.
Maybe Ronald will be the manager giving a interview, slagging off the home supporters singing "Premier league, you're having a laugh" after this one.
Not a bad tie really. Should be a decent atmosphere and a chance to progress. Hopefully we take it seriously.

I think there was a danger of a cushy home draw, couldn't be allowed that! You have to watch a re-run to understand what I am waffling on about.

Ron likes cups and has a good record in them. He will certainly value the chance to get more game time for the team.
I'm glad we didn't get you guys, we'd have been hammered and I'd have to have avoided Not606 for a week or three.
We'll probably get hammered by Stoke, but oh well.

I must be on the few fans that never wants to draw Pompey. I'm nervous enough for any match, but I couldn't bear for us to lose to them.
It's one of those matches which is win-win for a neutral. Either Franchise FC get knocked out, or Man U get knocked out.
