FA Cup 3rd - Doncaster (a)

[CB Fry]

I've seen the whole draw and I'll just say not everyone will be happy.

[Lighthouse]

Winnable, I’d rather it was at home.

[Doctoroncall]

Donny away

[Mustang Saint]

Doncaster away according to BBC Sport

[Lee On Solent Saint]

Another nail in the coffin of the FA Cup. Fuckin draw isn't even on BBC anymore.

[Lighthouse]

No Pompey in round four then either.

[BARCELONASAINT]

Doncaster struggling in Div 1, we should have more than enough to beat them, what could possibly go wrong!

Pompey V Arsenal 🤣

[AlexLaw76]

Pompey v Arsenal is bound to be on telly.

Same with the Man U and Liverpool games, regardless who they have

Another chance for them to sing Theirry Henry’s name all match so everyone forgets they got absolutely battered and focuses on them being the bestest fans in all the land.

Just a publicity shot for TCWAB to gormlessly shake his bell 🛎 end on national tv when they’re losing 4-0

[Badger]

Quite happy with that draw. New ground.

Just watch the cunts move it to Monday night or something ridiculous 

[saintstowin]

Some pretty underwhelming ties overall, but we should progress.

Fletcher and McCoist not quite as polished as Mark Chapman.

 

[Gloucester Saint]

Let’s hope no pictures of trains are handed over during this visit to Doncaster.

[ChrisPY]

The Billy Sharp derby.

[Jack]

Boring but very winnable. Handful of all Prem ties, not the worst draw ever 

[whelk]

Fuck that, too far north.

In the old days could justify it in that the women were easy

[trousers]

BORING!

Considering I live here Huddersfield it’s not bad!

[macca155]

Blimey Donny away, way too North for the likes of us, especially in January.

Keepmoat is around 15,000 I think. 20% is 3000, but bet we don't get that.

[bangkoksaint]

Nice draw. 50 odd miles for me. Maybe a golf weekend at Forest Pines

Get with it Gloucester.

All aboard the Tonda Express, full steam ahead, stopping nowhere …. 
 

Promotion, FA Cup …. It’s in the stars*. That and skates and Bath Rugby falling off the face of the earth…

*not saying we’ll manage either but it’s probably in the stars somewhere if you know where to look.

Some good pubs when we’ve watched Saints there though, not least the Grove. Magic Rock taproom closed earlier this year though.

That was one of the most cringiest things I’ve ever seen a fan base do. Getting stuffed so decided to tug themselves silly over Henry to take the attention away from the result. Embarrassing carry on

The last time Pompey beat Arsenal was 68 years ago. This will be their 23rd attempt since then.  

[Football Special]

Good draw , not played up there since 2011 so will make a nice change, ground is a bit dull out of town with not much around it when we last went but plenty of pubs in town and a short taxi ride to the ground

That doesn’t matter, they’ll be the bestest regardless. Can almost guarantee a pissed up interview from Westwood pre game , or a visit from the bbc to his bookstore in the days leading up to the game for an interview about his background. Fucking tedious and tinpot

That’s not referring to location, it’s their preferred weekend activity

They haven't won any of their last 30 games against Chelsea, although their last win was only 66 years ago. So, that's more than 50 games over seven decades without a win against either Arsenal or Chelsea. No wonder the London clubs love playing there.

Meanwhile, the TV pundits will be coming out with all the usual cliches, like, "This is a difficult place to win at". Yes, it is......for Portsmouth.

This one’s personal for me.  Never forgiven Doncaster for knocking us out of the English Schools Trophy in 1985 - quarter finals, second replay.  They went on to win it, which should have been us.

Fucking do the peasant cunts.

Some of them might be on this video, choice depending on your preferred tipple

 

[Football Special]

Some great ties to be fair 

Grimsby vs Weston Super Mare made me chuckle, bet the Weston boys were dreaming of Anfield or Old Trafford 

 

[Dr Who?]

Yes down the road, well nearly 3 hours, but Manchester is 2.5 hours away, but a new ground. If they keep it on Saturday or Sunday!
