...and the amount of likes and people agreeing with it enforces your point that it's cool to sh*t on cup ties. Frustrates the f*ck out of me to be honest- I'm not sure if these 'fans' are too young to remember 2012 or 2008, but they were fun times that we should be doing our all to get back to.
Totally agree.

I also think it's counter-productive personally. Whilst theoretically more games can lead to more injuries and more tiredness etc, winning teams also help to build momentum and fan interest. Our recent cup games have been dire, played before 4-5000 and losing. Does no good at all.

I would make a few changes, but otherwise send a strong team out against Pompey and try and make a go of a decent cup run.
