The FA Cup 2009/2010

[devilsadvocate]

Well that's it.

Wiley that cheating sack of shit. Awards a pen that was never fffffffing there.Palacios wins the ball. Get's elbowed in the process. Then gets a ******* yellow card which will rule him out of Arsenal, Man U and Chelski.

This is what being a Spurs fan is all about.

Absolutely gutted beyond belief.

Chelsea V Pompy in the cup final the 3rd all blue final in a row (08 - pompy v cardiff, 09 - chelsea v everton) and the last 2 winners of the cup against each other, also i believe it will be the second time Chelsea will face a team relegated in that same season in the cup final the other being Middlesbourgh in the 97 cup final.

bloody hell, all the spurs fans have gone home already

Did they even arrive in the first place?

I hope wembley falls down and they call it off

Well, I'm off to cry myself to sleep.

All over at Wembley

Pompey perform a crazy smash n grab to win 2 - 0. Spurs should have been out of site by half time but just couldn't hit the target and it cost them in the end.

They now have to try and lift themselves for the Gunnersw game up next. Maybe playing the Gunners in the next game is just what they need after this game.

Unluckey DA mate. As the commentary just said "how did that happen?". Says it all really

I didn't think they ever left early?

Well done Pompey, at least their players and fans will have a Cup Final to look forward to now after such a disappointing season.

What happens to Euro spot now?? Does it go to Pompey even though they will be relegated?

Yep.

1-3 CL
4th - CL playoffs
5th - Europa
6th - Europa (By virtue of Chelski winning the League cup and finishing in the top 3, therefore getting CL footy)

Pompey - Europa.

And I'm still frigging fuming.

Don't know why, but this is the lowest I've felt as a football fan since Lasagna-Gate. More than being dumped out of the world cup by that diving prick grosso. More than losing the Leage Cup final last year. More than having 2 points from 8 games last season. This one hurts.

I would have given almost anything to see Spurs in the FA Cup final.

Absolutely gutted.

Being relegated is irrelevant cossi. The winners of the fa cup qualify for a Europa spot but as looks likely that Chelsea will qualify for the cl next year then win or lose Pompey will qualify for Europa

However as they are currently in administration it means they don't hold a licence to play in Europe and will apply to the league to grant a licence

Not sure what will happen if Pompey can't play but I suspect a Europa place will be offered to the 8th place club etc

Portsmouth's progression to the FA Cup final (where they will play Chelsea) would, under normal circumstances, have seen them take the spot afforded to the cup winners.

But the troubled south coast side are in administration and didn't apply for a Uefa licence because they were unable to fulfil the financial criteria required to make an application at that time. This would prevent them from entering the competition.

Portsmouth now plan to challenge their current situation.

"We will appeal. We follow a can-do approach," said Pompey administrator Andrew Andronikou.

"It will be an uphill struggle in terms of making the appeal but nonetheless we will try."

If Portsmouth are not able to compete in Europe, the place will revert to the seventh placed team in the Premier League.

so effectively Liverpool/Villa will still get a place in the Europa cup next year when they finish 7th...

honestly, it's probably better that way than having a relegated club in there...
