No birthdays today so it’s straight onto the games previously played.
Played – 3
Won – 1
Drawn – 0
Lost – 2
Another day with only a handful played. In fact, most have ended in defeat, but the one that REALLY mattered was won.
It’s amazing to think the FA Cup triumph of 2008 was a decade ago now. Then again with some things to happen at Pompey since it can feel like a lifetime.
This is the only game I’ve been at – I wasn’t even born when the other two were played – and beating Cardiff at Wembley to win the FA Cup is a game I’ll never forget, who would?
Have you taken in any of the games previously played today – if so what are the memories of them?
