Portsmouth will be dangerous today this is all they have left to play for and I expect them to be stuck in from the get go I'll go for a nervy 2-1 spurs win.

The Volt

A spirited performance from Pompey but Spurs will be far too good. 3-1 Spurs

Le King

Close game. 1-0 Spurs.

Will this be decided today or will a draw result in a replay?

herbieflowers

Decided today

David James is wearing the gayest jersey ever!!!

SuprSi

The pitch is a disaster again. Everyone is slipping.

Guy:Incognito

Semi finals at Wembley FTL!

Peyton Manning

Go wan Pompy!

Dawson lost his footing which stopped him putting in a tackle, you could see the turf go from under him. Ouch.

jester77

Get in there!!

monkey9

Delighted, c'mon Pompey. Hang on!!!

Peyton Manning

Perfectly legit goal ruled out for Spurs :eek:

jester77

that was never a fowl on James, poor decision!

Necronomicon

Spurs unlucky - nothing wrong with that goal imo, James flapped it badly.

SuprSi

First the pitch and now the ref going against Spurs. That was never a foul.

JerryHandbag

The magic of the cup.....Spurs piling on the pressure now tho

CR 7

That was a terrible decision. Definite goal.

G'wan Pompy.

Might be hoping the strikers will be afraid to be seen running to it too eagerly!!;)

Very generous decision there for Pompey,

For some strange reason though keepers always get way too much protection in situations like that.

monkey9

James' reaction said it all, tbh. Never a foul!!

Agreed. You're hardly allowed to challenge for the same ariel ball as a keeper these days.

Peyton Manning

James laughing his arse off at the decision!

me-skywalker

Delighted for Pompey... but think Spurs will be the only one of the 2 taht can beat Chelsea.

SuprSi

That should've been game over

Peyton Manning

Jaysus that bird is all over the place...

jester77

oh... i've seen those given!

? the ball off the back?



Pen for Pompy now to tie it up

jester77

peno, lol... never

Guy:Incognito

Peno to seal it.

Spurs fairly done over today by teh ref ad their own poxy lack of aility to put chances away.

SantryRed

The more I look at this match the more I think it's a fix to give Pompey much needed income.

efb

Lolz Play up Pompy!

SuprSi

Wow, just wow.

monkey9

What a brilliant run by Dindane. Palacios unlucky. He gets the ball, but gets the player first?

Hammer Archer

Delighted

Guy:Incognito

Pompey in the final.

~Rebel~

definate pen imo.

He touched the ball, but the only way he was able to do so was by dragging the player back.

Professey Chin

Go on Pompey!

Thats cheered me up ni end. Well done Pompy.

Guy:Incognito

Fairly poor show from Spurs players on the peno. 3 mins left in extra time and the only players followign up the peno were Pompey ones.

Ordinary man

I can't help but admire Pompey. A team ripped apart and still having the spirit to get results like this. Avram Grant must be the most underrated manger around

Pompey peno a cert - Palacios got a toe on the ball, but only after shoving Dindane - the foul came before the touch on the ball.

Have to say as a neutral i am deligthed for Portsmouth fans and Avram Grant,

Nobody is going to give them a chance, so there is nothing to lose,

The fans and players get a nice end of season send off (if they get to play) and Grant gets to pit himself against Chelsea,

You have to love the magic of the FA Cup.

~Rebel~

Would have been great if Pompy were allowed play in europe next season while in the championship.

JerryHandbag

Delighted for Avram Grant and Pompey. They'll get their day in the sun after a turbulent season.

monkey9

Delighted!! What a story!!

Imagine being told in January 2008 that Pompey would be in two of the next three FA Cup finals?!!!!

I just wonder if the shock is on for the final. You never know. I can't see it but the story is there. The season that they've had. That the supporters have had. The staff being let go. Avram Grant against Chelsea!!!

I just wonder if the magic of the cup can whip up the greatest fairytale of all!

CR 7

Delighted for Portsmouth, Redknapp looks sickened.:D

that's the bit i want to see!! i'd love to see Grant get one over on Chelsea after he brought them to the Champions league final and then got booted out for big Phil Scolari.

SuprSi

Yeah I'm gutted to see Spurs go out but I like Grant and I'm happy for him.
