Portsmouth: Fans react to Michael Eisner message

Portsmouth bowed out of the FA Cup against Arsenal last night as the Gunners ran out 2-0 winners during the game at Fratton Park.

The men from the south coast enjoyed decent spells against the Premier League side and perhaps on another night they could have caused a shock, with both teams making changes to their respective line-ups for the clash.

In the end, though, the extra bit of class that Arsenal had on the field told and they progress into the quarter-finals as they look to win the FA Cup yet again.

For Pompey, it’s back to the day-to-day challenge of getting promotion from League One, whilst the EFL Trophy isn’t far away now either.

And, that in mind, Michael Eisner put together a rallying cry on Twitter after the result:

It was a good run in the #FACup. We will be back at it next season. Now to get into the Championship. @Pompey

Fans have responded to this in numbers, too, so let’s take a look at the best of what has been said as they look ahead to the rest of the campaign:

For me this season has always been about promotion. Cups are a bonus now let’s get our heads down and concentrate on promotion
