Do we have to use the word scum on a shaving forum? Save it for the footie forums.
Better than us all over the pitch today we were lucky to get nil!

I'm just left with memories of Pompey's last cup win. But what a price was paid for it.

One all draw at Blackburn so back to the Etihad. It's not great to be adding extra fixtures at this time of year but Blackburn deserved something.

Latics play Liverpool today - I fear that we are going to get hammered but time will tell. How's Jose Baxter doing for you chaps? (Sheffield U)
How's Matt Smith doing for Leeds?

We had a good debate on the United messageboard about this, Peter.
The question asked was would we take the success Pompey had if it meant we ended up where you are at the moment.
After years of dross and disappointment served up by a succession of cretinous chairman and bad luck that only seems to happen to us the answer was pretty much a resounding 'Yes'!
Easy to say when you're not in that position of course, but I'd love to see my team have a bit of success rather than hold the record for most playoff final defeats, sell any decent player whenever any team comes knocking with a pathetic offer and get relegated from seemingly impossible positions (I'm sure we've been cursed).
United will always be my team, but it does get a bit wearing sometimes!

While it was happening it was brilliant. But now we know what it was achieved through reckless financial mismanagement it leaves a nasty taste. If we end up out of the league that would mean we paid too high a price for short term success. All we can hope for is to survive in League 2 and then better days.

Well done to Sheffield United.
Despite Paul Lambert saying that he could do without the FA Cup he put out a side that was 'on paper' strong enough to win. However his apathy translated to the players. That doesnt take away from United who played some cracking football with a greater desire.
Its a shame when finishing a place or two higher in the prem and the increase bonus comes before an exciting cup run.
If I was a player I'd be much more proud to show my grandkids a FA Cup finallists medal win or lose than pointing to an historical table from 2014 that showed I finished 14 in the Premier League.
Good luck to all those that got through to the next round.

This Forest game has become a mauling.
