Part 31 - The Road to Wembley

 

This is our Cup recap!

 

Capital One Cup 2019-2020

 

Second Round - at Fratton Park

 

 

> Our early-season slow form bled into this Cup tie where our nerve holds in a penalty shootout.

 

Third Round - at Fratton Park

 

 

> A straight-forward Cup victory here against a sluggish Watford side.

 

Fourth Round - at Dean Court

 

 

> A free-flowing South Coast Cup derby sees us edge Bournemouth out after a late Larsson tip-in.

 

Quarter Final - at White Hart Lane

 

 

> Hugo Lloris' efforts in keeping us out through 120 minutes fall to waste as Spurs lose their bottle in the penalty shootout.

 

Semi-Final - at Old Trafford and Fratton Park

 

 

 

> Juan Mata's 2nd-half hat-trick in the first leg makes all the difference as Utd edge us out in our 3rd EFL Cup semifinal in 4 years.

 

 

2019-2020 FA Cup

 

Third Round - at Fratton Park

 

 

> We do the Cup double over Shrewsbury Town as a more fluent performance sees us brush them aside.

 

 

Fourth Round - at St Andrews

 

 

> A balanced attack and some excellent stops sees us defeat Blues in the Midlands to move forward.

 

Fifth Round - at Anfield

 

 

> This tie is better known as Brandon Thomas v the World, as he cut the Liverpool defense up at Anfield to see us through to the QF.

 

Quarter Final - at Ashburton Grove

 

 

> A dogged defensive performance and a beautiful Engvall goal sees us through to the FA Cup semifinals for the first time since 2010.

 

Semi-Final - at Wembley

 

 

> More of the defensive spirit from the Arsenal QF shows up today and a Jai Quitongo rocket 5 minutes from time spells the difference as we reach the FA Cup Final.

Some really good Cup results. Not exactly dominating but you beat strong sides, man your team is effective. KIU!

Thanks mate!I just hope Manolo Gabbiadini crocks up before the FA Cup Final lol

 

As to how I set up for Cup ties - Balanced Counter

[cezzz16]

Good Luck mate! I won the FA Cup twice in a row! All of them are in penalty. Who's your opponent?

Part 32 - The Agony and The Ecstacy

 

2019-2020 FA Cup Final

 

Portsmouth vs Southampton

 

 

 

Notes:

 

1. We match Bury's FA Cup Final win in 1903 as the biggest in history

2. Borja Mayoral hits the first Cup Final hat-trick since Stan Mortensen in 1953.

3. This is the biggest win in South Coast Derby history on either side.

Europe...

 

It's been 12 years since Pompey last stepped on a continental stage. A lot has changed since then....

 

 

Back then we had to play 4 other teams in a group only once....

 

 

We may not have had the honor to visit the San Siro but the Rossonero had the pleasure of visiting Fortress Fratton...

 

 

 

... we may have lost in Germany....

 

 

 

.... but signed off in style at the Abe Lenstra Stadion hoping then it would be the first of many trips to Thursday Nights on Channel 5.

 

Until the darkness happened. 12 years spent in the wilderness.

 

 

Europa League. After 12 years, it was time to come home.

Lovely little build up.

I was planning on watching your video, mate despite prefering written updates over vids, I thought let's give it a try as I'd like to stay up to date with your wonderful career. But the video is almost 40 min long. I just don't have time for such lengthy vids, sorry, make it 5 min tops and I'll watch them but just really don't have the time for it. I suspect other followers too.

How about a video + a brief summary, maybe that'll work for some of us.

That is fair - even I'll say it was hard to record that but scheduling quirks happened and the post-Boxing Day game was a South Coast Derby

Chaplin is worth his weight in gold

Actually surprised he's not a focal point IRL - also bit of a spoiler; him and Harry Paton are the two untouchables in the squad lol
