Yeah, I think the commentators were bigging it up largely cos of the passion of the two teams' fans, rather than anything that happened on the pitch. Not as bad as some FA Cups but there was a sense of 'so what' about the whole thing. I like it when a smaller team get there, but you do sort of need one of the big four in it as well for neutrals to really get a sense of excitement. Saying that, it's not for the neutrals and Pompey fans could probably care less that it wasn't exactly a classic.
