Wtf. How can you say it belongs in England. If a Welsh team are allowed to enter the competition then they obviously have the right to win it, and obviously take it back to Wales (Like we did in 1927). :D

Oh and yes, I'm a Cardiff City supporter and I'll be cheering them on all the way!

Cymru Am Byth!

Well done Portsmouth! It was a lovely change to have some of other teams in the final for once.

By the way, did anyone get memories of "there will be four minutes of added......GERRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRDDDDDD!!", when they announced there would be four minutes of added time :laugh:?

Only reason your team can enter, is, Wales is a principality of England.

1927, the ball was out of play for an Arsenal goal kick, so you should never had won it and also we were rebuilding our squad

after the great war so had poor players.

This match was a joke. It needed abit of luck for Portmouth to win this final but i don't think it is something they derserve. Anyone who thought this final was any different because outsiders got there unlike the usual are kidding themselves. I thought this was a very dull and awful display by Portsmouth and i have to say they were lucky to come out on top.

Cardiff didn't create an awful lot but they had much more posession.

Cardiff may have done well, but again like west brom, they could not change it enough to make it a problem for pompey, it wasn't untill they end they put on pressure. Pompey in the second half dealt with the balls over the top to the forwards easy enough. Our midfield was able to get out of situations when closed down, but the cardiff defence held strong and did stop up advancing, yet we did open them a few times. Tell you the truth I was rather anoyed at the Cardiff players, I thought they went down to easy where as the likes of Diarra and Muntari like to be taken on in tight situations.

The occasion got to Harry Redknapp, he even spoke to the BBC! :laugh:

I think it was a mediocre final. Liverpool vs. West Ham 2006 - Now that was a final, trust us Hammers to put on a damn good show! :D

1979 cup final was probably the best in my life time, 1968 to PD.

Arsenal won also, so that helps.

<-- live in Gunwharf and there are a bunch of ###### making a lot of noise down there now... i'm not going to be able to sleep tonight :(

On another note... pompey win :D

Wow must be rich to live in Gunwharf ;)

I was gonna go down there today but didn't want to travel if I was going to drink!

Gutted. Had a great day out mind you, and even though we lost, I'm extremely proud of our team. Considering we so close to going out of business 2 months ago, It's a huge achievement for us just to be at the final. I would have jumped at the chance of being in the final if someone had told me at the start of the season.

@ martyn, yeah, I was a bit gutted about robbie not even being on the bench too. Was sure it was written in the script for him to come on and score the winner lol. And again, yea, with the 4 minutes injury time, I thought we may have a chance to sneak one it. But alas, it wasn't to be.

Some of you may recognise what I'm about to say from a couple of other forums, but it still applies here.

Well done pompey!

In the end you deserved it. We had a good start, probably too good actually, and run out of ideas pretty quickly. Enckleman had a pretty poor game IMO, and we just couldn't finish in front of goal. The fact we didn't close you down didn't help us at all either.

Want to give a thumbs up to your fans though. Had some good banter with them in the traffic jams going to wembley, then outside the stadium too. All in good spirits, and not taking anything too seriously. Managed to get a few to do the ayatollah too lol. And I've since read reports on the cardiff city forum about a load of pompey fans clapping cardiff fans outside the stadium and in the car park. Thank you!

In all, even though we lost, I enjoyed the occasion. Its not every day you get to support you own team at an FA cup final (unless you follow one of the big four lol).

One last thing before I go. You may have the cup, but you still don't have your clock back :p :devil:

    • I found that stability back then was really down to the motherboard manufacturer. Back then i stuck with Microstar motherboards and VIA chipsets as they were ultra reliable. Most stuff was done with jumpers and left little room for user created problems 👍
    • Yes, Scoop was created to promote Coreutils for Windows. You can still see early versions of their website on the Web Archive. It was a joke that nobody took seriously. Microsoft's implementation of Coreutils, however, are built in Rust.
    • Looks like EA's Star Wars Zero Company will be out this August by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Over a year ago, EA surprise announced that a team of former Firaxis members is working on a brand-new Star Wars game. Dubbed Zero Company, the title would have XCOM-like turn-based tactics gameplay as players manage a squad of professionals from all over the galaxy. Now, just ahead of an official announcement, it looks like the release date has leaked out. The upcoming Summer Game Fest presentation on Friday is when EA is supposed to show off the title's gameplay footage, with fans also expecting it to reveal a release date. However, the ever-reliable billbil-kun from Dealabs says they have already managed to find out when the game is coming out and what versions fans will have the option of purchasing. Per the leak, Star Wars Zero Company has an August 27, 2026, release date attached to it. The title is slated to release on PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 with a $49.99 standard and $59.99 Deluxe edition. The leaker also adds that there won't be any early access perk attached to this special edition. Pre-orders could kick off alongside the official announcement this Friday, too. For those unfamiliar with the title, Bit Reactor is developing Star Wars Zero Company with help from Respawn Entertainment and Lucasfilm Games. The EA-published title is said to be set during the "twilight of the Clone Wars." We will have to wait and see if base building and management mechanics from the XCOM series will be present here, too. "You will step into the shoes of Hawks, a former Republic officer who leads Zero Company — an unconventional outfit of professionals for hire hailing from across the galaxy," reads the game description. "Hawks and Zero Company are recruited for an operation that pits them against an emerging threat that will consume the galaxy if left unchecked. To succeed, Hawks will lead a team of uneasy allies who must set aside their differences to overcome nearly impossible odds." You can catch the Star Wars Zero Company extended gameplay reveal at the Summer Game Fest showcase that's kicking off on Friday at 2 pm PT / 5 pm ET.
    • All their other games always had a new cast and new story, so that's not very surprising. The new dev is worrisome though.
