FA Cup Semi Finals - 5/6 April

[Mr66]

My tips;West Brom & Cardiff to go back to Wembley in May.

[RoosterMarty]

Still 0-0 in the West Brom - Pompey game. The Baggies looking alright so far.

[McAlmanac]

Play up Pompey, Pompey play up!

[Dirko]

Only 900 000 quid for the winner of this game too !

Pompey 1 - West Brom 0

Shocking mix up between keeper and defender on the goal mouth handed Kanu the easiest goal of his career.

Only 900 000 quid for the winner of this game too !

Way too much for a game of this quality.

Crap. Hope Cardiff v Barnsley is better tomorrow

Pompey through to the FA Cup final.

[johntheclaret]

Terrible semi. Pompey were awful but did enough to win. WBA just didn't rise to the challenge.

[Mr66]

This game was the poster boy as to why soccer frustrates the crap out of me.
It it was a football match, Pompey wins by about three goals,Rugby League by about 8-10 points.
Soccer just does not reward a team that plays better than the other.

Heavy snow overnight here in West London. Everything is white and the flakes are still falling if only lightly now.

Could make the Wembley surface interesting for later today.

[RoosterMarty]

Well it is Super Sunday for me.

Showdown and FA Cup Semi.

One tick so far... hopefully Cardiff can win through to the Final later.

Come on Bluebirds!

[devilsadvocate]

Bluebirds 1-0 up at the half RM, but Barnsley controlled much of later part of the first half.

Seems to be STACKS of empty seats at Wembley - kind of wish I'd chanced my luck with a ticket outside.

[RoosterMarty]

We are under the pump a bit but what a brilliant goal by Ledley!!

He is such a brilliant player, we didn't need him when we beat Boro in the Quarters but what a strike that was.

Cardiff have scored some stunners though, Jimmy scored a wonderful goal against Wolves, Whittingham vs Boro and now Ledley in the Semi.

Come on boys please don't concede now! Another one would be nice!!!

[johntheclaret]

How did Odejaye miss that

[devilsadvocate]

How did Odejaye miss that

I'm speechless..............

[johntheclaret]

Cardiff are throught o meet Pompey in the final.

Good crowd DA, 82,400.

Barnsley pressed hard but just couldn't get through. Odejaye missed an absolute sitter. Local Hero Ledly gets the winner in the 1st half.

Good open game, with both sides pushing. 100 times better than yesterdays other semi.

[devilsadvocate]

I was surprised to see that crowd figure JTC. The Club Wembley area makes it deceiving.

Should be a great final between Pompey and Cardiff.

Gotta feel sorry for Odejaye, but you have to take chances like that. It really won't ever get easier than that.

[RoosterMarty]

I can't believe he missed that as well, should have gone the other side!

OH WELL! Ledley scored an amazing goal and the Cardiff City Bluebirds are through to an FA Cup Final.

I never thought I would ever see this.

What a brilliant game of football!

COME ON CARDIFF!!!!!!!

[johntheclaret]

Yeah, it's a shame you won't have Ledley for the final.

PS.... 1st time in 18 years that we have had two English managers in the final

[RoosterMarty]

Why won't Ledley play in the Final? Did I miss something?

I did hear the English manager call, whoever wins will break a big drought! It will be a great Final and Cardiff can do it!!!
