POMPEY ARE GOING TO WEMBLEY!!!

By: b-man | March 9th, 2008

the-fa-cup.jpgI’ve only just come to terms with the fact that we beat United at Old Trafford, as I said we could!

A fantastic defensive display laid the foundations for one of the proudest days in the clubs recent history.

The game was in truth dominated by Manchester United however they couldn’t get a goal. If they managed to get past our battling midfield then they had to come up against our solid defence, organised brilliantly by Sol and Sylv. If they did manage to get past that they they had to beat the brilliant David James. And on the few occassions when they did all three; They had efforts cleared off the line by first Glen Johnson and second Sylvan Distin.

Rio Ferdinand ended up in goal after first choice keeper Van Der Sar was injured and Tomas Kuscak was sent off after a foul on the hard-working Milan Baros. The penalty was thrashed home by Mr Tenacious himself: Sulley Ali Muntari.muntari-penalty.jpg

All the lads were absolutely amazing, they all ran their hearts out and have a special place in the hearts and minds of all Pompey fans.

I’d like to single out Johnson, Diarra, Campbell and JAmes especially though, I thought they were on another level entirely.

Anyway… lets move on to the future.

Pompey are in the semi-finals of the FACup. We’re goin to Wembley.

Sounds good huh?

But wait there’s more!

The three other remaining teams aren’t in the same league… literally!

The other teams are Barnsley, West Brom and Cardiff. These are all Championship sides.

I predicted this situation may occur. And I was right!

This is brilliant! We actually have an amazing chance to be crowned FACup champions! An automatic spot in Europe, this would almost certainly make up for our slightly average league form.

However if we don’t win it this year then it will feel slightly dissapointing. We have such an amazing chance then it would kill me if we threw it away.

COME ON POMPEY LET’S FINISH THE JOB!!!……. PLAY UP POMPEY…. POMPEY PLAY UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I share your optimism Josh, but complacency is a dangerous thing!
