Just arrived. Had to get a police escort to get them through the traffic.

The M62 is also a nightmare ATM due to snow, with more due overnight, I might have to set off pretty damn early tomorrow.

The missus works up near Rochdale and they've had snow ploughs out on the roads it's really bad apparently. Not got any snow 15 miles up the road though

Looks a tasty afternoon of FA Cup action thus far.

Can't see where we're going to get too many upsets though.

Carlisle currently level at Everton (1-1). Coventry also 1-1 at Portsmouth.

Really though nothing earth-shattering!

York are still in with a shout by the sounds of it.

Plymouth holding Newcastle as well, surely a win for the Pilgrims would be an upset?

Not really, we've rested half of our starting XI.

Portsmouth not paying the players wages again, and taking out a short term loan to pay them? Not a good situation at all, will they last much longer?

Could they do a Gretna? Or at least a Southampton / Leeds.

They should merge with Southampton

Any player who is stupid enough to sign for Portmouth in the transfer window needs a slap, they cant pay who they have now and yet expect to sign more players

They can't sign anyone though, they have a transfer embargo on them ATM.

It makes you wonder how the owner passed the "fit and proper person" test, if he can't even afford to pay his staff.
