This is a mini-series looking at the four contenders for the title of the biggiest, bestiest, goodliest… [stop all that] … sorry, the teams playing in the FA Cup Semi Finals this coming weekend.
Starting us off is a send off for an FA Cup winner only two seasons ago…

But now have fallen upon… well I don’t need to expand on that, everyone knows of their current plight.
Which some have pointed fingers and accused a certain ex-manager of being a party to – and just to add an extra ingredient into this mix he will be leading the team who will be facing them this Sunday.
And what a boat race:

The two teams met only a couple of weeks ago with the result being pretty much a foregone. Which is what I think will happen again this coming Sunday so that’s why I’m starting with them.
Today’s featured artist is a local comedian and singer Shep Woolley, who is a die hard Pompey fan.
