That was good fun. Assuming the voice of generic skate #657 I put that he misses the old clock. Maybe the company holding it will actually get their money back eventually. Nah, it's Portsmouth. Must be a non-league player they can throw wages at instead.

Very true. I'd never bought a console on launch day before the Vita but haven't regretted it for a second. Probably used it more than my PS3 over the last 18 months. Quite a few are curiosities or indie titles, but I'd say all of the following games are near-essential: FIFA Football (don't bother with sequels, they're just reskins) Gravity Rush Guacamelee Hotline Miami Killzone Mercenary LittleBigPlanet Motorstorm RC Need for Speed: Most Wanted Persona 4 Golden Sound Shapes Super Stardust Delta Tearaway Uncharted: Golden Abyss Velocity Ultra The Walking Dead (if you haven't played it elsewhere) Wipeout 2048 TxK, OlliOlli and Surge Deluxe are getting great reviews too.

Fully agree with Adrian. Plus BT Sport made this fixture far easier to watch from home or the pub, only to the detriment of those that actually wanted to travel. On the day it felt like decent support. Actually I only expected half as many of our fans so was heartened upon reaching the concourse. Realistically you have to look at how the club has approached the other rounds - many may have wrongly assumed that we'd put out the strongest squad, but the warning signs were there. Sub-consciously or otherwise I'm sure that put many off. Ultimately I believe this wasted opportunity will only speed up the decline of our cup attendances. My lot had a good time and it was certainly an experience, but I'd think twice about doing the same again. The reasons against attending a match like Saturday's are stacked a mile high. Beyond blind loyalty or romantic dreams of cup heroics there's little in the 'for' column.

Still here. Actually don't give a toss about the money expended, just the gutless manner of defeat. That squad should have been plenty for the win but not one player fulfilled their potential. Briefed to save themselves? Didn't care? Simply not good enough? I don't believe the latter to be possible. We had a decent chance this year. Far from nailed on, but it was there to attack. We didn't play the 'Southampton Way' today.

Not a big fan of 3G but saves being caked in mud all day. Quite up for this!

Nice one. If there's anywhere that does 'proper' beer then so much the better. Neither can I, but weirdly this one's actually cheaper than West Ham for me! Sunderland: £16 ticket, £30 petrol (£120 split four ways), £7.50 hotel (£15 room, Travelodge mates rate) = £53.50 + beer. West Ham: £43 ticket, £10 train, £8 tube = £61 +beer. I don't even have to drive

The togetherness is a sight to behold, as is our tempo and workrate. The commentators last night were spaffing themselves silly over it. Another related point is that yesterday's starting XI, Rodriguez aside, was very cheaply assembled by Premier League standards. Conversely Hull (billed as plucky underdogs) had two players on the pitch that cost a combined £14m in January. We have built slowly, steadily and sensibly over the past 5 years. I would argue that even our larger transfer fees paid have been justifiable considering the TV money. Yes, there have been some mis-steps, but 'Billy Big ********' behaviour has been dealt with well. If you don't make the effort to fit in at Saints you will lose out, but additions such as Lovren have shown how quickly you are welcomed if you do. Add in our youth output and things are looking undeniably rosy. Meltdown? Us?

Never been to the Stadium of Light or indeed Sunderland itself. Worst comes to the worst I'll just make a weekend of it up there, but I have a good feeling that we can get the win.

No doubt celebrations would be a little more muted if we won the Cup in modern times, but as somebody that was born 11 years after the heroics of '76, the prospect of experiencing a day even half as good is far more exciting than whether we finish 7th or 10th.

Worthy cause. Pushed it out on Twitter too.

Not at all. TV Licence inspectors have no right to enter your property without a police warrant, for which they would have to gather evidence of you watching live broadcasts without a licence. Quite a complex matter in itself. If you write to TV Licensing informing them that you wish to revoke their implied right of access, inspectors will not be allowed to set foot any further than where your property meets the street. As for the parking invoice (it's not a 'fine' unless a criminal matter, as mentioned above) - ignoring it is absolutely the best course of action. Not sure if West Quay does, but many private car parks use Parking Eye technology (it'll be on the invoice if they do). They're absolute shysters and do not go through with the implied court action in 99.9% of cases. When they do, they invariably lose. It's my understanding that the DVLA sells registered driver details to these companies (and made circa £10m last year doing so).

Just got 29 but I'm going to have to delete it as well before wasting any more time on this crud. The collision detection is so shonky!

Utterly sodding ridiculous. Still, never mind the travelling hardcore - must prioritise the TV crowd.

Oof, 7.40am train for me that morning then!

Yep, in! Has the venue been set? I'll likely be getting the train up so may need to cadge a lift if it's a way out.

In case anybody hasn't bought train tickets yet - return tickets to London from £10: http://www.southwesttrains.co.uk/wintersmiles.aspx Last weekend I got a Hedge End > London Terminals ticket for a tenner so hopefully it'll save some of you a few bob. Valid until 23rd February.

Absolutely. Certainly the most pragmatic. Not the situation I'd wish us to be in but here we are. Goodness knows where we're heading next but I for one am up for the ride.

Decent summary. Clyne's, Lambert's and Lallana's strikes on the highlights reel make the match look far more enjoyable than it was when taken as a whole. We certainly weren't putting in a performance that suggested Burnley were dead and buried by half time - difference being that they upped their game while we continued to look rather disinterested. Thank goodness we had the quality on the bench to turn the tide. As mentioned elsewhere it was an odd game. For an FA Cup win featuring seven goals I came away feeling a bit hollow.

Shows some passion (or rather pain) from the Leeds lot I suppose. St. Mary's was moribund today.

You're right on the others, but we've had some top support at Boxing Day matches! The atmosphere at Cardiff shat all over today. Away days are becoming the go-to if you want support that doesn't depend purely on how the match is going. I didn't notice him once in the second half. Anonymous.

No, it wasn't just you. That was one of the most stark contrasts on the night. Well, other than only one team featuring players that have a future in the game.

Bless our lads - kind of them to keep it to a score the average Portsmouth resident can count to on one hand. That was a ****ing brilliant evening's entertainment all-round.

More that with only 1500-ish sold so far, I can't see the walk-up bringing it much above 2000. Would seem odd if they turned people away on the day but this is Saints.

Any reason why you wouldn't buy one online and collect tomorrow? There's a few left in Blocks 4 & 5, plus you'll be guaranteed against disappointment. My original order didn't go through so I bought one this morning. Postal delivery obviously isn't available now but with 2,000 home fans maximum it's unlikely to be a massive queue for collection.

Maybe you had to be there.
