So, as an ex-resident of Waterlooville (it's pretty, and very small: It's a village, basically), what can I hope to see come the FA cup tie?
Here's bunch of text from the coverage via the Bangkok Post (um, W?)
FA Cup: Non-league Havant and Waterlooville advance to play Liverpool
By Ben James
London (dpa) - Non-league side Havant and Waterlooville earned themselves a dream come true: A prime tie against Liverpool in the English FA Cup after they upset Swansea 4-2 Wednesday in a third-round replay.
The home side, who play in the Blue Square South league, two divisions below League Two, were 3-0 up within 37 minutes and withstood a Swansea fightback to secure a dream trip to Anfield.
An own goal by Garry Monk put them ahead before Jamie Collins (25) and Rocky Baptiste (37) made it 3-0.
Swansea got one back through Guillem Bauza just two minutes later, and they should have been within one goal but for a Leon Britton penalty to be saved.
Jason Scotland reduced the deficit to 3-2 just three minutes after the break, but a header from Tom Jordan with 25 minutes to go secured a famous victory.

Nah, I don't think Hicks and Gilette's money will leave them with that much debt.
