So now Potsmouth ar through to the final, it's down to Cardiff and Barnsley as to who will meet us there.
I don't think we deserve to be in the final at all, West Brown played a much better game and they practically played us off the pitch in the first half but hey, I can't complain too much. It did look like we could have won the the game at least 3-0 after we got yet another lucky break by scoring from a goal-line scramble.
Our goal dampened West Brom's spirit a little and so we took advantage of it and started to pass the ball a little more and managed to find a lot more space for runs.
Milan Baros missed what I feel was a complete sitter, all he had to do was dink it over Dean Kiely but he took too long and ended up shooting wide after Dean Kiely got a hand on the ball.
If we do win the final then I think we'll be the luckiest team to ever win the FA Cup, we really have rode our luck all the way through the tournament and I'm far from pleased with our performances.

At the end of the day Portsmouth took their chance, albeit it shouldn't have stood due to a deliberate handball...though that's the type of player Baros is. I still think Cardiff shouldn't be allowed in the UEFA Cup if they win it, the Championship or any other English league due to the fact that they are WELSH and are under the Welsh FA not the English FA.

Good look mate :wink:
I wouldn't be able to cope with the Cardiff fans...or Welsh being smarmy, albeit I would know a few football chants to piss them off. But meh, Cardiff fans are scum, it was only the other week that 9 of them got arrested for racist chants outside of Plymouth's ground. |

No, Cardiff play under English FA rules, it's plain due to the fact that they're not an English club that they aren't going to be allowed to play in the UEFA Cup if they win the FA Cup.
People are trying to do something about it though: some football big-wig has asked the English FA to reflect upon the fact that they are denying Cardiff the opportunity.

It will be most likely that Platini will try and give an English UEFA place to Cardiff because he is Anti-English, although they are playing in England they would be still representing Wales in the UEFA Cup which is a disgrace, if they want to get into Europe then they should have to play in the Welsh league, the Scottish might as well play in the FA Cup too.

Do you know what was great though, Newport County beat Cardiff in the semi's of the FAW Cup this season (we went on to win it). They had a decent side out with darcy-blake, sinclair, thompson, loovens. Beat them at Ninian and I was there. Loved it!

I think all this debate over Cardiff in the UEFA Cup is ignoring the fact that Portmouth will probably win the final anyway (or are they going to get a UEFA Cup place via the league? I can't remember their current position). I think they'll have too much for Cardiff.

We're currently 6th though Everton look most likely to get the UEFA Cup 5th spot, we're 4 points off them.
And apparently Cardiff are now being given a "Wild Card" entry to the UEFA Cup if they win the FA Cup. I've no ideo as to what this exactly means.
