Well, well, well. Wasn’t expecting that when I got up this morning. It’s a rare thing, a result like this. Really impressive performance, full of desire and hard work. Rode our luck on occasion, but could also have scored more. Expect #SaintsFC to feel 7 feet tall right now. Roll on Wembley! ⚽
\n
⚽️ Have not seen much #CFC since Todd Boehly started his quest to mismanage the club and NBC made it hard to consistently see the matches across their variety of services.
I suspect today's performance was not a very good indicator of how they are actually doing. #facup
FA Cup Quarter Final day is here! It would take an oversized helping of optimism to expect #SaintsFC to win today - but the magic of the cup means never say never. So fingers crossed. Looking for us to at least give it a go though and leave with dignity and respect as a minimum. COYR! ⚽

Port Vale coming to Stamford Bridge embodies the romance of the FA Cup. Jumpers for goalposts, Corinthian spirit, and all that
\nStill hoping to hear “You’ve had you day out, now ‘go’ off home” early in the first half, though
