Indeed. The FA Cup, probably more than any other competition in English football is primarily one for the fans of the teams involved and I'm sure the Portsmouth fans had a great day out. I remember West Ham beating Arsenal in the 1980 FA Cup as vividly as if it'd happened yesterday. Same with the final a couple of years ago when we lost to Liverpool which, despite the result, still remains an amazing memory. I think every teams' fans, regardless of the size of their club, deserves an FA Cup final day to call their own. In this age of big business and behind the scenes cynicism, it maintains a certain romance that I don't think exists anywhere else in the today's game. Play up Pompey indeed.
