Here are the results from the sixth round of the FA Cup. Some stunning upsets, but that is what the FA Cup is all about- give the smaller teams an opportunity to shine on the big stage.
Manchester United 0-1 Portsmouth ( Sulley Muntari)
A repeat of last year’s fourth round clash which ended up 2-1 in favour of the Red Devils. The result this year was not the same. It left Sir Alex Ferguson furious.
The win ended United’s chance of a treble and propelled Pompey into the semifinals.
This happens to be my first post on the A-League. One might ask how it came about ? To be honest, I was doing a bit of research on FIFA World Cup qualifying. As I was doing the 2006 edition, I saw that John Aloisi was the man whose penalty kick sent the Socceroos into the World Cup. Aloisi as a footballer is not a new name- he has after all played for Coventry and Portsmouth in the Premiership, and Osasuna in the La Liga.
Leicester City have signed Kelvin Etuhu on loan from Manchester City till the end of the season. Kano born Etuhu can play both as a striker and a right winger. If Kelvin’s surname seems familiar to you, it is because his elder brother is Dickson Etuhu, currently representing Sunderland in the Premiership.
