Has to be Man U at the Memorial, doesn't it? I'd like to see Ronaldo pulling his usual tricks after the pitch has had Bristol v Gloucester on it.

Many years ago when I lived in South London, my Rovers shirt caused the locals a great deal of confusion. They did not know which team to howl abuse about. The nearest they got was QPR(!) Still, they now have the chance to get properly acquainted.

The management team got a good workmanlike effort from The Gas against a Saints side that did not look up for it and most of the time looked as if they would rather have been somewhere else.

Yeah, I'd take Man Utd at home, scrap to a 1-1 draw on that surface, then take 10,000 up to Old Trafford for the replay. Which will obviously be a hammering - I reckon we'll win it 6 or 7 nil.

Happy days.

congratulations to bristol rovers, fantastic match and they deserved the win.
after 60 mins though I thought it had 0-0 written allover it, but Rovers got that bit of luck off the free kick and thats all you need in thi competition, Rovers played good, looked solid defensivley and southampton just looked poor.

City fan here, congrats to Rovers.

What a season for Bristol footy, City pushing for promotion to the Premiership and Rovers in the last 16 of the FA Cup! It's about time our great city had some footballing success to shout about!

Well said, esthar2. It's very easy to get caught up in all the city v rovers chat - while overlooking the fact that both clubs have underachieved for too long...

Maybe, just maybe, things are starting to turn around.

Well done Bristol Rovers

Great performance today, i know much about your team but it looks as if they play for the shirt and thats what i love to see from a football team.

Hope you get a non Premier League in the next round.

From a Southampton fan - well done Rovers, you totally deserved it. We were crap and not up for it at all by all appearances. Good luck in the next round - especially if you draw P*mpey (if they get through).
