Record-breaking Jermain the main man again

POMPEY won their Wembley warm-up against Wigan thanks to Jermain Defoe's double.
The record-breaking striker got both goals as the Blues picked up a 2-0 win.

The England man delivered a typically clinical piece of finishing to roll home the ball from an acute angle after 32 minutes.

And then he burst clear and produced a cool finish in injury time to seal the three points.

It was his seventh goal in five home games since joining from Spurs in January to break Alan Biley's 25-year record.

It was also the 25-year-old's eighth goal in seven games.

Pompey had David James to thank for the three points too as he superbly saved Ryan Taylor's 61st-minute penalty.

There were injury worries for the Blues ahead of the FA Cup semi-final next weekend.

Hermann Hredarsson limped off and had stitches in a foot injury, while John Utaka limped off with an injured hamstring. Niko Kranjcar was also limping after taking a whack from Josip Skoko.

Great to see Jamo unfazed by all the stick he got in midweek. Bit worried about the injury to Kranjcar though.

Not a pretty game but 2 great goals from Defoe! Hope we don't miss him in the cup, although Nugent looked bright considering he's just back from injury and he has got a good goal scoring record in the cup! Don't think we should write Nuge off just yet as he hasn't had much of a chance (and he has said the he was injured for most of the season). Wembley here we come!

PS if anyone wants a laugh go onto the daily echo website and read the poor scum moans about how poor their team is - highly entertaining!!!

Not a good game but we won. Wigan can't buy a goal and most of our players looked as if they were doing just enough to win without getting red carded or injured before next weeks game. You can't really blame them for that. Mendes played well but some of his passing was terrible. I hope most of the squad stay together for next season though I am not convinced about Baros being worth the money being asked. Wembley here we come-twice

How will Pompey fare against Cardiff in the FA Cup final?
Pompey are too good for them. We will win at a canter!
It will be tight, but Harry's boys will just nick it.
Cardiff will break Blues hearts and destroy the Cup dream!
It will go to the lottery of penalties and then it's anybody's guess!
