Portsmouth are F.A CUP CHAMPIONS after a first half goal from Kanu.
The premier league side was just too good in the end for a lower division side who put up a great fight.
In the end it was an opportunity taken from a goalies mistake which proved the difference and probably wouldnt have happened if it was another premier league side.
Cardiff should be proud of getting there and the game they came with.
Portsmouth 1 Cardiff City 0
I have no doubt Harrys nose and cheeks will be redder than ever after a week on the town!
Well done Pompey!!

The two differences were Portsmouth's inability to take their chances and their appalling keeper who should be run out of town. Thought James made some fine saves for Portsmouth in the first half and Krancjar was good.
Cardiff were the better side in the first half but their keeper was determined to gift Portsmouth a goal, which with a guy like Kanu around will get taken. Portsmouth shut them down in the 2nd half. Thought Cardiff took Whittingham, who'd been their most dangerous player, off too early, which killed a lot of their creativity. Ramsey looked good, but they never really looked like it after half time.
Congratulations to Harry Redknapp.

Does this mean that Pompey can afford Crouch and get him back home.

Pretty boring game all up. cardiff's inability to finish their good work ultimately cost them along with some VERY sloppy keeping. Agree on Whittington - looks a prospect, though not entirely sure about him in the Premiership.
So will it be Man U or Chelsea for the Champions League?

Man bloody U for mine. Just too experienced and play a far better team game. And they have Ronaldo.
Arsenal would have knocked either of them over anyway so it'll only be a phyricc victory .

Let's just hope it's better than last years Man U, Chelsea FA Cup Final.
WORST. GAME. EVER.
I'd have to say Man U. Unless Drogba has a day out.
