Theatre of Dreams Beckons
Another week, another match. This time we're heading to Manchester to see Manchester United host Portsmouth FC in the 4th Round of the FA Cup. Although we're not particularly the biggest supporters of Manchester United, we know we're in for a treat. Not only are Manchester United the top team in the FA Premier League, but they play at one of the great venues in world football, Old Trafford (a.k.a. The Theatre of Dreams).

***Update***
Manchester United 2-1 Portsmouth FC. We got on a bus here in Swansea and traveled a beautiful route through east Wales to Manchester and to Old Trafford, and lucky for us we got to see the Premiership's greatest fans...Portsmouth FC's "Blue Army". Never before have we seen a home side's fans, much less 71,000+ fans, that were so useless as Manchester United's fans were. Portsmouth supporters were loud before, during and after the match. We were in awe. The match itself was very good and up until the 70th minute could have gone either way, but some Wayne Rooney magic put the game beyond reach for Portsmouth. On the plus side for Old Trafford, it is an amazing place to see a match, packed to the rafters with people and a with a great team to watch. The only thing that's missing is real fans. We made this video after the match, take a listen to the Portsmouth support:
