I am very nervous about this but i expect Niko to step up and guide us to a 2-0win

I want Portsmouth too, because I want Englisgh team to win,

But besides that I don't really care,

Portsmouth have a really good team and I think they should win. But I'd love to see a massive upset, especially from a non-English team in an English competition.

Come on Cardiff!

Portsmouth should win.

Usually I would go for the championship side, But I dont like Cardiff.

**Sven** · 17-05-2008, 10:58 AM

Why should they win? they got an awful attack.

I like to think Portsmouth as a vastly weakend Chelsea side. they have a lot of same charateristics.

**kyan** · 17-05-2008, 11:17 AM

Why should they win? Because they finished 8th in the Premiership despite a drop in form after reaching the FA Cup Final, while Cardiff finished 12th in the Championship...

Pompey's attack isn't the best but their midfield and defence compensate for it.

I want Pompey to win because otherwise I think it'd be a waste of a UEFA Cup spot, but if Cardiff win I wouldn't be overly disappointed.

Come on Cardiff!!

A non-english team winning the FA Cup doesn't happen very often now, does it? It's something I just really want to see.

I really don't care at all.

I tried to get interested but the quality is poor, a mistake every third pass, something we didn't see anything of last year in the final that everyone moaned about, because there weren't enough stupid backpasses or rubbish bits of marking to get Gary Lineker and Ian Wright wetting their pants.

Well credit to Lassana Diarra who played very well, again.

The young lad, Ramsey looked quite good when he came on too btw.

But yeah, I lost quite a bit of interest after the first goal. Portsmouth's 451 congested the midfield, and passing got very poor at times.

**Sven** · 17-05-2008, 05:46 PM

Lassana Diarra is quallity, didn't get enough credit then his fellow portsmouth players.

The joke will be on everyone if he wins something arsenal and unfortunidly Chelsea don't , as he was right to move.

I watched the first half and Diarra showed some nice touches, but he gave the ball away almost every time he had it. It's like he was chuffed with himself for shifting the ball into space and then played the pass before really seeing what's going on. He certainly doesn't have a good mental picture of what's happening around him, one of the reasons I don't think he'll ever be a top, top player despite having all the physical tools.

**Olzy** · 18-05-2008, 09:19 AM

Roger Johnson the centre back looks very good when I've seen him play in there cup run.

Joe Ledley might get a move to the prem.

Ramsey highly talked about he's pretty certain to go to someone like Man Utd.

It werent the best as Portsmouth dont have much going forward. Thought Cardiff gave them a tough game. If they had another decent striker up top as Jimmy just didnt have the legs and he kept slipping over.
