Albion 0 Portsmouth 1

Paul Robinson and Papa Bouba Diop

14.08: Full time and Albion deserved better but run out unlucky losers.

14.08: Albion get a last ditch corner, Kiely comes up for it…but Kim swings in a desperate cross and it’s headed away by the first man, and the final whistle goes.

14.07: Nugent fires over in the last minute of injury time and that looks like that.

14.03: Pressure from Albion at the end of normal time but no real chances, two crosses are too deep and it’s last chance saloon now.

Three minutes of stoppage time.

13.58: Good opprtunity for Albion, Gera’s low cross is met first time by Miller who sees his side-footed effort spin just round the post.

Was that the chance to force extra time?

13.57: Sub Nugent is gifted an opening by Albion but he shoots straight against Kiely.

13.54: The game opens up further and Albion are not out of it - but they have to find a way past James.

Pompey make another switch as Sean Davis enters the fray.

13.50: Action at both ends, first Mutari should make it 2-0 but shoots wide from 15 yards.

Then, Miller bursts clear down the left and waits to cross to the unmarked Phillips, but James reacts well and plucks the low ball out of the air before it can reach the Albion striker.

13.49: Third Albion substitution, Kim Do Heon is on.

13.48: Albion go close as Koren’s long range shot clips the bar. The midfielder gives a grimace, he knows that wasn’t far away.

13.45: Pompey changes it’s Baros off and the rarely seen species known as David Nugent is on.

13.43: Good spell of possession for Albion ends with Gera’s turn and shot but it flies over.

The Baggies are still seeing a lot of the ball - but Pompey look comfortable to let them play 50 yards from goal.

13.39: Baros is through on goal but his touch is a bit heeavy and gives Kiely the chance to smother.

The ex-Villa striker should have buried Albion there.

13.35: Double change for Albion: Miller and Brunt come on in place of Bednar and Gera.

Bednar looks disappointed to be hauled off.

13.32: Pompey are almost in again but a low cross is slid back to Krancjar and his shot skews horribly wide.

Mowbray has Miller on the bench, will we be seeing him shortly?

13.30: Test of Albion now. The Pompey fans are in fine voice and their side is very strong at the back.

13.29: Replays of the goal show a case for handball against Baros as he prepared to shoot. Albion won’t be happy with that.

perthbaggiesfan certainly thinks it was handball

13.28: GOAL Pompey take the lead.

Baros’ shot is parried well by Kiely, and with an Albion player running in he can only push it out again, but this time straight into the path of Kanu who stabbed home from six yards.

Portsmouth’s first real chance of the game, a sickener for Albion.

13.27: Harry Redknapp edges out of his technical area. The Pompey boss looks slightly fraught. Rightly so, as his team have made no impression on Albion in the first 55 minutes of this tie.
13.25: Mark Lawrenson: “I bet in the Championship West Brom have never had as much time and space as they are getting today”.

13.21: Baros almost gets in behind Albion but Robinson slides in and forces the ball out for a corner, which the Baggies clear.

Still plenty of space for both teams - but not in areas where they can hurt the opposition.

13.18: Players are back out on the pitch for the second half - and the noise level rises again.

13.05: PerthBaggieFan says: “First thing Gera needs to do in the break is change his studs, he’s slipped over about 4 times.”

13.02: Half time whistle blows. Albion will be happy but they will probably need to get behind the Pompey defence if they are to create better chances.

13.00: Stoppage time. Portsmouth are taking the game to Albion but not really creating many chances.

12.56: Kanu chests the ball on the edge of the box and lobs the ball over the Albion defenders, only for Baros to make a weak connection which goes straight to Kiely. The best chance of the half.

12.52: England keeper James fumbles a regular backpass, almost letting in Bednar. Villa fans who recall Wembley in 2000 and Liverpool supporters who saw the 1996 final will be predicting another disaster for the keeper.

12.50: Baros receives a long pass on the edge of the Albion box but is penalised for handball. He continues to shoot and is duly booked for kicking the ball. Tellingly, he does not complain.

12.45: Muntari has a free kick dead centre from 35 yards. He hits the target but its a comfortable save for Kiely, who has not been tested properly so far by the Premier League side.

12.40: Albion get a free kick in a dangerous position on the left in line with the area but cannot make anything from it. In the ensuing scramble, Gera skies a left footed chance. Albion seem willing to shoot from distance against ex-Villa keeper David James.

12.30: Both sides are knocking the ball long early to try to cause problems but neither can make anything of their efforts.

12.26: James hesitates as Albion send in a cross but it is too high for Phillips who cannot get a strong header.

12.24: Ex-Villa striker Baros chases after a promising long ball but cannot control it. Kiely clears.

12.22: Neat passing move by Albion sees Gera get a shot in from the edge of the box which James can only parry. Campbell clears.

12.19: Former Albion striker Kanu waltzes through the Baggies defence but cannot make his pass count. “One club man” Diarra is looking threatening for Pompey. Kevin Phillips fires over from distance at the other end. Not a bad start by either side.

12.16: We’re off. Early Albion pressure sees a pass to Bednar run through to the keeper as both sides settle in.

12.15: The Albion players go into their huddle. Albion will need to watch set-pieces, according to John Motson, as “Portsmouth are one of the tallest teams in the country”. Not when Jermaine Defoe plays, they aren’t. But he’s cup-tied.

12.14: Tony Mowbray takes his seat. His face gives nothing away, as usual.

12.13: The two teams are lining up. It’s time for Albion to meet their destiny.

12.09: Alan Shearer: “Portsmouth might just have a little bit too much for West Brom, but we know West Brom can score goals.”

12.03: Wembley is quickly filling up as fans take their seats. It’s a sea of blue and white hats, scarves, flags, face paint. Of course it’s blue and white in two different shades, Pompey’s that bit lighted than the Baggies dark blue.

11.57: More on the Albion team click Albion line-up revealed

11.55: Our man Steve Madeley says Mowbray’s line-up has not sprung any major surprises. Neil Clement was likely to play after impressing in midweek. Zoltan Gera will play on the right wing and James Morrison on the left.

11.49: Albion fans let us have your thoughts on that line-up?

11.47: Albion team: Kiely, Hoefkens, Albrechtsen, Clement, Robinson, Morrison, Greening, Koren, Gera, Phillips, Bednar.

Subs: Miller, Pele, Brunt, Danek, Do-Heon.

Portsmouth: James, Johnson, Campbell, Distin, Hreidarsson, Diarra, Diop, Muntari, Kranjcar, Kanu, Baros.

Subs: Ashdown, Lauren, Nugent, Davis, Pedro Mendes.

11.45: Only half an hour to kick off and most of the 33,000 Albion fans are in the ground. The atmosphere is really building on a cold, crisp day.

if this game is half as dramatic as Albion’s match last weekend we will be in for a treat. That was a 4-3 win over Colchester.

    Sandwell town won about 20 free kicks from players diving already after 25 mins. by far the best dive was Robinsons.

  2. wolveswolves said:

    1) Behave you make us all look like idiots.

  3. PerthBaggieFan said:

    First thing Gera needs to do in the break is change his studs, he’s slipped over about 4 times.

  4. Gold'n'Black Wolf said:

    watch the game albion have plenty of possession and are the better team but have been a lot of diving.
    just stating facts if stating facts makes us all look like idiots then whats the point.
    or are you saying Robinson didnt dive.
    if so get some glasses.

  5. Michael said:

    agree about the Robinson dive it was pathetic Albion better team in first half but not realy creating anything. worry is Baros could have been in a couple of times with better control and they cant get any worse.

  6. PerthBaggieFan said:

    4 & 5, 12 fouls to 4, who needs to dive?

  7. Michael said:

    Morrisson and Robinson Obviously needed to dive.

  8. Gold'n'Black Wolf said:

    im actually saying you are the better which is fact but there have been a few dodgy dives from Robinson which was totally pathetic and morrison.. and that is also fact.

  9. WOLF said:

    GET IN THERE!!!!

  10. Gold'n'Black Wolf said:

    how unlucky.
    Pompey have been rubbish.
    good save don’t deserve to be losing.
    probably get accused of making Wolves fans look like idiots by no “. for being honest.

  11. Happy Wolfred said:

    King Kanu
    i love you

  12. PerthBaggieFan said:

    Baros hand balled it…cheat !!

  13. Pompey Wolf said:

    Will Bogies be the first team to lose at Wembley TWICE ? !!!

  14. wolveswolves said:

    Just a question of many pompey will get now.
    Never mind boggies, better to have been there and lost than to have not been there at all.

  15. WOLF said:

    That handball makes it oh so sweeter!!

  16. PerthBaggieFan said:

    15, so i spose Maradona is back on your Xmas card list ?

  17. WOLF said:

    16. Hope your watchin the match pal, lot’s of chances going begging for the Tesco’s, it’s great stuff!

  18. wolveswolves said:

    unlucky boggies, there was nothing between the two teams except the goal.

  19. AlexMacca said:

    WBA season will be unfolding now

  23. PerthBaggieFan said:

    17, yep watched it on ESPN over here in OZ.
    Congratulations to the Baggies, they owned the game, unlucky goal conceded against the run of play. Baros will now always go down in history as a cheat, you can’t deny the cameras.

  24. matt said:

    what a load of rubbish, if thats the best ref in the land, then it shows what a poor stand of refs we have. we can’t play against 14 men and the whole FA.

  25. Bridget & Tony said:

    Pompey were rubbish - Bad Luck Boggies
    Another 1-0 at Wembley!

    Up the Wolves!

  26. stokeontrentwolf said:

    BAD LUCK GIRLS :-)

  27. Pompey kings... said:

    we played bad and you still can’t beat us..
    You lot are a joke!!

  28. Mountain Wolf said:

    Obviously I’m pleased with the result but without doubt the scoreline doesn’t reflect the run of play. Come on Barnsley!

  29. PerthBaggieFan said:

    Just have to play like that for the rest of the season and automatic will be ours.

  30. Greg Cooper said:

    The Wolves fan in me wants to gloat but that would be unnecessary - instead I have to congratulate the Albion for a great performance. You made Pompey look ordinary and did not deserve to lose that game. You have done the Championship and the Black Country proud.. here’s hoping for a rip-roaring derby played in good spirit when we meet at the Mol.

  31. Baggie no 11 said:

    keeper again at fault how long will he keep playing him.

  32. Loyal-Cannock-Wolf said:

    Lots of possession for Sandwell but they just aint got the end result, Wolves will scrap and score the goals.. Will be a good ‘un on the 15th!

  33. Loyal-Cannock-Wolf said:

    Happy aint commenting so it looks like he’s been to watch em.

  34. Wolf72 said:

    Hard luck baggies you was absolutely robbed! Thought you outplayed and outclassed pompey for most of the game! Won’t pretend i’m too disappointed but all credit to you for getting to Wembley and all credit for the way you played today, the style of your football is a joy to watch!

  35. Zak Dingle said:

    Congratulations Sandwell Town F.C
    The first team to lose at Wembley twice.
    How painful for you.
    How funny for the Dingles from the custard bowl,tonight is party night.

  36. Gold'n'Black Wolf said:

    31. how can you blame your keeper it was a brilliant save,

  37. Wolf72 said:

    In response to (31) I thought Kiley played a blinder today, the goal was 100% Gera’s fault for getting in his way. It was a cracking initial save by the keeper. I was looking forward to seeing Kiley have a howler today but I thought he was a contender for man of the match to be fair!

  38. Terry Wembley loser said:

    HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA
    maybe Wembley isn’t your lucky ground.

    WOLVES WOLVES WOLVES

  39. Wanderer said:

    Oh dear, not very good at Wembley are you? 1-0 to Derby now 1-0 to Pompey. I suppose you could say ‘well at least we got to Wembley’ but then again, not much point going to Wembley if you lose eh?

  40. Eddie Wolf said:

    Very Unlucky. Watched the game and you out-classed Pompey for the majority. That performance was a great advert for Championship football, and although i am not disappointed by your exit, your display deserved better!

  41. wolfhound said:

    Bad luck the baggies were the better team

  42. Dudley wolf said:

    your not boinging anymore am ya bring on the derbywe are going to wreck your season.Well done POMPEI i had a tenner on ya get in there.

  46. dan sl3 said:

    33,000 albion fans boing boinging back to sandwell with nothing again!!

    upthewolves.

  47. PerthBaggieFan said:

    32. Agree, Gera’s job should have been to hold off the Pompey attacker and let Kiely get the ball.

  48. PerthBaggieFan said:

    oops, meant 37

  49. wolverine said:

    your not boinking anymore enjoy the journey back avery happy wolves fan

  50. southbank barmy army said:

    the worst game of football i’ve seen in years, neither side deserved to win.

    BUT WE’LL SHOW YOU HOW IT’S DONE IN THE PLAY OFF FINAL..

    WOLVERHAMPTON WANDERERS.. STILL UN-BEATEN IN WEMBLEY FINALS.

    MAKIN’ THE PREMIER THE MCARTHY WAY..IN STYLE OF COURSE..OH YES.

  51. PerthBaggieFan said:

    All those on here that bag the Albion should get a life. You are not football fans. If you were, you would see that the Albion style of play is very entertaining. OK, I’ll admit that we do look a bit ragged in defence at times, but once we fix that, we WILL be a formidable force in the EPL. Just got to get there first.

  52. raythewolf said:

    oops…..losing twice at wembley…….what an achievment…….thanks for the laugh….winning nowt the Mowbray way….Boink Boink….come on you Wolves

  53. Kent Wolf said:

    The best team lost.
    Simple as.

  54. PerthBaggieFan said:

    Thought Bednar should have stayed on for 10 minutes when Brunt came on. Those two seem to combine well.

  55. Dudley wolf said:

    Your not fit to play at wembley…..

  56. PerthBaggieFan said:

    44. saw you crying in Mexico in 1986.

  57. Tipton Wolf said:

    THANKYOU POMPEY

  58. Pertonian Wolf said:

    rarther pleasent start to the day :-)

  59. stfusd said:

    @southbank barmy army

    where’s your white stick.
    you obviously didn’t watch the game did you?

    how can you say it was the “worst” game you
    have seen in years?

    i thought it was a great advert for how far
    championship teams have come. the reason pompey
    didn’t play well is because we didn’t let them.

    simple as that.

  60. stevebullwolf said:

    i broke my arm yeaterday i am happy and painfree now best tablets goin called lost at wembley again

  61. wolverine said:

    Going down the league the MOWBRAY WAY well done pompey.

  62. Wolvensam said:

    Poor Baggies bet they’re sick of Wembley!

    PLAY UP POMPEY.

  63. dudley wolves said:

    thats just broke my heart!!! hahahaha

  64. Wulf said:

    Albion again showed what a good footballing side they are and were very unlucky. Gera cost you the game with that mistake but he just wanted to clear it! UNLUCKY. Never mind you’ve still got a good shout at automatic places, with the Wolves game being your only certain loss :) Still better than losing to Barsnley in the final, now that would have been gutting!

  65. Longford-Wolf said:

    Unlucky lads! it would have been nice to have the F.A.cup back in the Black Country

  66. PerthBaggie said:

    Sad Wolves supporters who’s only joy is seeing the Albion lose. You are so jealous of us and we would never sell our club for a tenner !

  67. wolverine said:

    Im very drunk now waiting for my winnings of a sandwell fan thats if he pays up cant trust them lot.

  68. wednesbury1 said:

    The game was so poor i nearly fell asleep the first half! it was one of the most dire semis i have ever seen, Although WBA played the better football portsmouth never really got out of first gear!! IF barnsley or cardiff take into account the space and freedom given by portsmouth they have to fancy their.” chances.

  69. southbank barmy army said:

    59# IT WAS UTTER CRAP..POMPEY WERE A DISGRACE CONCIDERING THE HIGH PREMIER LEAGUE POSITION, AND YOU LOT WERE YOUR NORMAL BORING SELVES.

    HOPE TO GOD CARDIFF AND BARNSLEY PUT ON A BETTER SHOW, OR THE CHAMPIONSHIP WILL LOOK A POOR LEAGUE.

  70. southbank barmy army said:

    66# Sad Wolves supporters who’s only joy is seeing the Albion lose.

    YEP AND WE’RE SEEING THAT QUITE A LOT LATELY.

    ROLL ON THE 15TH SO WE CAN SEE IT AGAIN..

  71. Wolves since 1945. said:

    66. NOBODY WOULD PAY 10P NEVER MIND A TENNER FOR THAT LOT.

  72. andyinaqaba said:

    Nice mix of comments on here.. I watched on al-jazeera in the pub here, and no, the baggies didnt deserve to lose but I did think it was a poor game. The way of the world was obvious to me though, pub has 4 tellies and I was only one watching the cup tie..locals were watching arse blowing the title. lets hope the cup goes to yorkshire or wales now.

  73. PerthBaggie said:

    the Dingle animosity on here is a great recruiting tool for Section 5

  74. stokeontrentwolf said:

    66 perthbaggie, jealous of what mate, messing up at wembley AGAIN!!! nobody ever remembers the losing semi-finalists of the FA cup, especially when they had such easy opposition to get there. now remind me who did pompey beat again. :-)

  75. andyinaqaba said:

    oh and today, as wolves are not playing, im a manchester city fan for the day, in honour of my father in law , who died this week, and i cant be there… love you frank

    so proud to be a baggie…ALBION TILL I DIE

  79. Tommy Langley said:

    I think it’s safe to say Wolves would not have humiliated themselves in the same way as this poor Albion side did today.

  80. The Dictator said:

    Psssssssssss - the sound of hot air coming out of a deflated carrier bag. You were going where? To do what? One disaster down, one to come!! Fiction, you lot could give J.R. Rowling a run for her money. Kanu not even get one thing right!!!I’ve seen so much twaddle on this site in the past weeks its good to get back to reality. Empty vessels do make the most noise, today proved it. As Kev said, I’m loving it.

  81. raythewolf said:

    66……COULDN`T YOU GET ANY FURTHER AWAY FROM SANDWELL?????????? NOT THAT I BLAME YOU, I`D DO THE SAME……COME ON YOU WOLVES

  82. korenlegend said:

    these wolves fans are so sad. the only thing they have to celebrate is the fact that we lose a game. don’t worry dingles. you might be as good as us one day and not have to be as jealous.

  83. The Dictator said:

    Mowbray said “We can be Legends”. Now you are.

    LEGENDARY, AND THERES MORE TO COME!
    Arise Sir Harry.
    Who’s not a “Happy Baggie now”?

    83, your name suits you. A potato with a penis !!

  85. Doognwaggy said:

    Fantastic result. Hopefully the Baggies will end up with nothing, just like last season.

  86. PerthBaggie said:

    85. We didn’t end up with nothing. We sold some players for a profit and didn’t sell our club for a tenner and our seats for a pie and a pint !

  87. Wolf72 said:

    Perth Baggie, there is no need to get personal and have a pop at our club! There are plenty of people on here myself included who have put some very positive posts on about the baggies today.

    Now if you take a look on the Wolves pages you will see similar banter coming from the baggies fans about our various misfortunes throughout the season! Just take it like a man and accept it for what it is! You lost and your local rivals are revelling in it, your time will come I am sure and I shall watch with great interest the posts that come from you! If you can’t take it then don’t meat it out that’s what I say! By taking the bait on this thread you really are making yourself look daft!

  88. PerthBaggie said:

    87 yes you have been positive TODAY. But every other time you are one of the 1st to stick the boot in.
    I’d get some of those Viagra eyedrops and have a good hard look at some of your own supporters before ragging me out.

  89. VINDALOONY said:

    I predicted you would win the cup..oh well, i predicted you would win the league..oh well i now predict you will win the play offs….somebody stop me i am crying here… Oh and i just sold my car to a nice guy ! Its days like these that make it all worth it..pour me another one.

  90. Happier_Baggie said:

    to all these sad retards commenting on here, it was a great game, dingles, your just jelous at how we have become a bigger and better team than you over the last 5 years, nevermind, you cling onto the hope of your play off place, while we still have the premiership in our grasp. How can some of you state it was a dire game ?? We played them off the pack for most of the game, even the WBA friendly BBC were again in shock. Make the most of today as your soon be able to watch us every saturday night outplaying the best. Baggiessssss

  91. divingbaggie said:

    Sad to see the only “victory” wolves fans get is cheering when their “rivals” lose.

    Well done for you Wolves fans that can see what happened and have contributed to this board honestly and positively.

    You knuckleheads that are gloating just make yourselves look mean spirited idiots. Laughing at someone else who are higher than you in the league, got further than you in the cup and beat you how many times last season and have a far better team just makes you look very silly.

    For the TRUE fans out there…thank you for your support.I hope the Wolves go up with the Baggies this season. I’m sorry that you have such idiot fans that give the good ones a bad name.

  92. superwolves said:

    Hahahaha roll on the 15th, if you play like that 3-0 to the wolves….

  93. superwolves said:

    Whats that mowbray said “we can be legends” whats he saying now “we look like idiots “..hahahah WELL DONE POMPEY ..barnsley for the cup

  94. pope said:

    You dingles must have been sitting in your front rooms, in your string vests, watching your local rivals in yet another high profile game, hoping, preying, pleading with god that we loose so that you can dash over to your computer and start tap tap tapping your insults on the internet. Your club and team is so pathetic that if we didn’t actually loose a few games, you would have absolutely nothing to write about. Sad to$$ers.

  95. The Dictator said:

    Thank you for your kind comments Perth Baggie(84).
    Yes I am proud of the equipment. I really do value your opinion as you supported 11 of them out there yesterday, so you must be an expert. Besides I am trying to become “A Legend” for Tony’s sake. Well someone has to!!! Never mind, you can always go back to the Haggis Bashing

    50. Miserable Mick’s Hoof! Merchants have all the style of a fashion show in an Army and Navy Stores.
    Just think Wolves fans you could have been playing Barnsley today in the second semi final, but you lost with a typical “stylish” performance at Cardiff in the 5th round. Not to mention you lost to the mighty Morecambe in the League Cup. When did you last have a decent cup run?
    If the highlight of your season is once again watching the Albion being narrowly defeated in a big game, then who are the REAL losers around here?

    Will the dingles stop invading our forum with there pathetic comments and worry about there own pathetic team.

    I thought WBA were a lot better than i have seen from them in the league. I was at Wembley, and i think that the defence was a lot better and i thought Kiely deserves a lot of praise for his display. Shame we couldn’t win the game and we lost by a scrappy goal that in the end, should not have counted. Well, what do you expect from a villa reject? Baros will be branded a cheat for the rest of his career.

    96 - well, as you lot have been reminding us all week, we didn’t have anything to do did we?
    Can’t say that I’m disappointed that you lost but some of the comments from Wolves fans are frankly ridiculous. I thought you played some pretty decent stuff particularly in the first half but you never really hurt Pompey. I’d take the same on the 15th! Mostly though I’ve come on here to say - 50 - learn your own history. We lost at Wembley in the 1939 FA Cup Final to…Pompey.

    You must live a very exciting life posting such a stupid comment at 6.29 on a Sunday morning.Judging by your spelling you probably started about 4 to finish at that time.Still up crying were we?

    The villa connection strikes with sickening aplomb.
    If its not costing us 3 points against leicester (moore sending off) then its a pathetic hand ball unseen, that leads to a freak goal, from an ex villain called baros. Our defence stopped running, and kanu was gifted a free prod. The passing and movement even had ole harry admiring us—its good enough to grace the premiership, where it will be plied after our promotion. If only, as my missus said, miller had been bought on earlier. He had the pompey defence struggling to cope, and was unafrafd to run at them He should have scored from close in, and I nearly gasped in the stands when he missed. A team to be proud of. All the main media giants have given us praise. Well done you baggies, lets wait for the reaction against the 6 fixtures standing in our way, and the premiership.

    The baggies stand proud. The Wolf is bitter as “Wembley is the greatest ever football ground that the Wolves will never see! Cheating HandBalling Portsmouth. Come on you Baggies!!!!

    baggiefan4lyf - it proved that you are not gud enuff for the premier like all ur so called fans have been saying you are - you had a lot of the ball but never looked like scoring against an average premiership side missing ther 2 best players!!! speaks volumes i think!!!!!

    ok we lost to a doggy goal BUT AT LEAST WE GOT THERE TWICE MORE THAN YOU LOT WILL EVER DO.

    Well played baggies,pompeys worse performance of the season first half,second half we were better and should have burried you 3-0 still great day out loads of banter on the tube see you next year PLAY UP POMPEY

    Thanks to some of the Wolves fans for the positive comments, as to the rest of you retard fans I feel sorry that the highlight of the season is watching us lose at wembley again.Do you not realise to lose you have to get there in the first place.

    Albion were extremely unlucky to lose, but as badly as pompey played, they still have Sol and Distin at the back, a formidable defence.

    Shame you couldn’t carve out a few more chances than you did and I’m wondering if a couple of the players were slightly in awe of the occasion?

    Still, the league has to be the priority and I’m hoping you can get automatic promotion and leave the wembley appearance to the Wolves!

    Was there, so unlucky. Ime gutted! Great day though. Outplayed them, Koren off the bar summed it up. Baros was such a cheat & a blatant handball! Then the ref started givin them everythin & blowing whistle before even lettin us take corner at the end was a disgrace! Great day though. I used 2 like pompey fans & everyone these days goes on about there fans & crackin atmosphere they create but we completley outsung them. Just like the time we took 10k 2 their ground in 17k crowd which ime sure they have forgot about. Even there faces on coach after, (they looked more misarable than us!)All u heard was the same “play up pompey” but the people who really played up pompey was the media, sky sports did’nt stop talkin about how they were favourites. Even the wembley tannoy guy sounded like he was gonna join in celebratin with them,no commiserations 4 us, nothin!Just sad barnsley out,wanted them 4 cup after all they are just as big a club as portsmouth. So they can take the cup back 2 “fall apart fratton park”. All i can say is the premiership has a shock next season if we go up. Bring em on! Still Boingin!

    Barnlsey played well at Wembley and had the same problem as Boggies - Could not score when it mattered - Pompey were there for the taking - and yet the players could not rise to the occassion!

    Yes, us Wolves fans are taking the mickey (if the shoe was on the other foot so would you’re lot!)

    Boggies loyal faithfull paid good money to go all the way to Wembley - face facts Boggie boys and girls YOUR PLAYERS LET YOU DOWN AGAIN!

    Forget all this “We played a Prem team blah blah” - Pompey should have got a spanking but didnt! WHY?

    Its alright your players talking about playing Prem teams every game next season - first they have got to get there; second - just hope you dont get into another play off final at Wembley! You score loads of goals against Championship teams - No matter what pretty football you play - If you dont score, even a crap Pompey on the day will win! (And did!)

    Barnlsey played some good stuff against Cardiff - but the lad that missed their best goal opportunity is no more guilty than any of the Albion players who missed their chances - So what’s the difference?

    Even with our obvious differences, It was sad to see an opportunity go begging against a Prem team - especially Good Old Arry! ;-)
