Not the best first halve I`ve seen, but what a great result. Knew it would be close but couldn`t see WBA hurting us in the final third. Another solid performance from our defence. C`mon you Blues. Our name is on the cup!!

it's true what they say that football is a funny old game as pompey don't deserve to be in the final the way they played today. pompey's name is not on the cup, if they play like that in the final all they will be coming home with is the runners up medal.

Just got back from the game, Fair Play to all you fake cockneys down in pompey, but you have to admit you were mighty lucky. Outplayed for 90 mins, a goal which was clearly handball.
Anyway good luck in the final, and another day out in London for all your wannabe Cockneys

Having watched this dreary, unexciting match on telly I now know why family and friends stopped attending Fratton Park, years ago. The goal should have been disallowed for handball and WBA was robbed. As Hanson said, "Pompey play like strangers with no cohesion!" Where was the heart? Where was the committment? Winning's one thing, but to real soccer fans, earning it and giving the enthusiasts a good game is quite another. No wonder football's in decline.

ALBION , least we have our on accent and a team that is from a city not a city with about 5 teams all calling themselves the greatest city who could not bet us?. anyway you did play well in the 1st half but could not beat the back 4 . hope to see with us next year.

wheres albion fan gone.i have to agree with the description.who would ever want to be a cockney.how embarrasing.if my home club was brom id only come out after dark.

AlbionFan, sure we did not play well today and you guys did pretty well, but I don't see how we are "outplayed for 90 minutes" when we have more possession of the ball (56%), more shots on goal (10 as supposed to your 6) and more shots on target according to the game stats. Sure you had a few good chances but it is up to your players to put them away. Don't think David James had that many saves to make in the end, so how can that classify as "outplaying" us?

And AdamsFan, there would always be some good games of football and some bad ones, unfortunately today's wasn't too good. When the FA Cup Final is at stake for the first time in 69 years, the players would feel the pressure on their shoulders and it would be difficult to "entertain" and I'm sure the first and foremost on their mind is to try to win. I think the players look nervous today and maybe trying a bit too hard, on a few occassions (e.g. running down blind alleys and end up losing the ball) which is understandable. If you wanted commitment and heart then you just have to go back one round for the Pompey match against Manchester United and you would have seen plenty of those there.

Albion fan - if you are still around - our accent has derived from London because of our close links with London in the 18th century, the close links with the Royal Navy an all that. Everywhere in the country except London think we sound like Cockneys, everyone in London think we sound like carrot crunchers. Sour grapes are so bitter don't you think?

As for the game I thought beforehand this should have made the best final, for an exciting game full of passion but to be honest the 2 teams cancelled each other out and it was always going to be decided on 1 goal. Well IT WAS OURS ..HA HA, or should I say BOING BOING!?

PLAY UP POMPEY!!
