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:

    • Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Telltale Games, the studio known for its episodic games from the 2000s, had a surprise appearance at the Summer Game Fest showcase today. The studio has gone through a collapse, an acquisition, and a revival but has largely gone silent in recent years. Today's sudden announcement was for the popular The Wolf Among Us series, with news about the sequel and a remaster dropping. Set after the events of the 2013-released title, the sequel will bring back Biby Wolf for a new adventure in Fabletown. This town of fairy tale characters is becoming unstable, with Snow White not being able to keep order as before. "When a brutal series of crimes threatens to fracture the fragile balance holding Fabletown together, Bigby Wolf, sheriff of Fabletown, finds himself drawn into a dangerous conspiracy that reaches deep into the city’s criminal underworld," says the studio. "As suspicion spreads across the city and powerful forces work against him, Bigby must uncover the truth and decide what kind of sheriff - and what kind of wolf - he is willing to become." At the same time, Telltale also announced The Wolf Among Us Remastered, bringing back the classic with a fresh coat of paint. This will include all five episodes from the original game plus over an hour of extra content that will offer behind-the-scenes videos, cast interviews, image galleries, and deleted scenes. The remaster will also have updated visuals and improved UI elements and accessibility features, alongside upgrades to the animations, audio, and frame rates. Telltale has been working on this project for almost a decade now, but if the new release schedule holds, fans will be able to jump into The Wolf Among Us 2 sometime in 2027. As for The Wolf Among Us Remastered, this is slated to release during this holiday season.

    • Alien Isolation 2 will bring a new protagonist and setting, watch the reveal trailer here by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Only a few weeks ago, Sega and Creative Assembly dropped a teaser for a new Alien Isolation. Today at Summer Game Fest, Alien: Isolation 2 was officially announced with a new trailer while also confirming a whole lot of information about the setting of this survival horror project. Check out the reveal trailer above. Leaving behind the Sevastopol space station, the sequel will take players to a remote colony world. With a Xenomorph (or more) on the loose, players will be navigating both the surface of the weather-ravaged planet as well as "the claustrophobic confines of the Weyland-Yutani outpost of Kurosaki Station." Interestingly, Creative Assembly is leaving behind Amanda Ripley, the daughter of Alien's Ellen Ripley, as the protagonist too. While it hasn't confirmed a name yet, players will be taking the role of a new character for this new adventure. The setting is also being described as a new hunting ground for the Alien. This will have players improvising and developing new tools to aid in their survival and escape, all to avoid "cinema’s deadliest killer." "It has been over a decade since we created the original Alien: Isolation and I am so excited to show everyone the first glimpse of the sequel," says Al Hope, Creative Director at Creative Assembly. "Our dedicated Survival team at Creative Assembly has been working hard to create a new, evolved Isolation experience continuing the legacy of the Alien franchise, making the eponymous killer smarter, the environment harsher and the chance of survival slimmer." Promising the same deadly tension from the original from over a decade ago, Alien: Isolation 2 is in development for PC, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5. A release date has not been announced yet.
    • With how far Tim Apple's head has been up Trump's ass, there's no way this was done reluctantly.
    • Like the article stated, it's written completely from scratch, unlike the umpteen Chromium clones. It got its start as the browser built-in to the also written-from-scratch SerenityOS.
