08/12/2011 HATVENT CALENDAR: MIDDLESBROUGH 2-4 PORTSMOUTH

POMPEYCHICKEN'S HAT OF THE DAY
Today's hat is red and white with a rather glorious looking bobble.

The red and white honours Middlesbrough, Pompey's opponents in today's video, a classic FA Cup Fifth Round encounter at the old Ayresome Park back in 1992.

The bobble represents Pompey's glorious victory on Teeside.

TODAY'S POMPEY VIDEO
Preamble: Pompey are on a decent FA Cup run and this game follows victories over Exeter City, Leyton Orient and a draw against 'Boro at Fratton Park that led to this replay.

We're beginning to see the emergence of a very good Pompey team under the leadership of The Bald Eagle, with a good combination of experience (e.g. Knight, Neill, Clarke) and some very talented youngsters (e.g. Awford, Symons, Powell and Anderton).

A home quarter final tie against Nottingham Forest awaits the victors. Who knows how far this Pompey team can go?!


Enjoy!
