Comments
So, for tonight, it's the minnows of Portsmouth v the mighty Arsenal, in a match which can only have one result.
Arsenal sit mid-table in the Premier League, on a good run, though they had a train-wreck in the Europa League last Thursday.
Portsmouth, meanwhile, are all the way down in League One, but on a bit of a roll, & sitting in a good 3rd place. The crowd at Fratton Park, despite being the South Coast's worst club, can really get revved up & the ground had a cracking atmo for big floodlit games.
Might just be a better game than it looks on paper.
