Man Utd v Portsmouth [FA Cup 4th round]

[Ronaldo]

Portsmouth new signing Djimi Traore is cup-tied but Noe Pamarot should be fit, and Gary O'Neil is back after a ban.

Sean Davis is a doubt, while Andy Cole, Kanu and fit-again Benjani Mwaruwari will compete for the lone striker role.

Man Utd team news to follow.

Not the easiest ties we could of got, but Pompey have had a recent dip in form. 2-0 to Utd my prediction

[paddy]

Yeh I doubt Pompey will be strong enough to put up a fight. Easy 3-0 win, if Sir Alex puts out the strongest team.

Can't see United tripping up here...i even put my money where my mouth is!

[Ronaldo]

Vidic's header goes behind the line but the ref doesn't give it. Ironic that Pedro Mendes cleared it away!

[boro_boy]

Come on Pompey!!!

[Ronaldo]

That final ball is letting us down today, we need to take Park off and bring on the Roon if things don't change early on next half. The Pompey back 4 have been playing very well.

[boro_boy]

The ball was over the line wasn't it. Should be United in front. But its not.

[paddy]

Yeh it was like a foot over the line. The Pompey defence, excluding Glen Johnson, have been solid as a rock. I hate to admit it but Sol Campbell has been immense, stopping pretty much everything Utd have thrown at them.

Hopefully Rooney's strength can make the difference in the next half.

[Ronaldo]

brilliant volley by Larsson AGAIN wrongly dissallowed. We're starting to step up a gear now.

[boro_boy]

Larson WAS offside.

[Ronaldo]

finally we score, Giggs cross and Rooney taps it in :gdgd:

1-0
