Comments on: They Did It Just Like We Knew They Would… http://lookupsport.com/blog/199 Thoughts on UK Sport by Lookupsport.com Fri, 21 Nov 2008 04:50:57 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.0.4 by: Ross Hart http://lookupsport.com/blog/199#comment-20063 Mon, 19 May 2008 11:04:38 +0000 http://lookupsport.com/blog/199#comment-20063 Worst final ever?! Are these muppets saying that not forgetting last year's snore fest between Chelsea and Man U? Or the dreadful Chelsea Villa final in 2000? We'd have loved a final full of goals, but the tension in both sides was there for all to see, and no wonder. They may never play a bigger game in their careers! Its not about how you win the final, as long as you do though Cardiff should also be noted for their achievement as well. I really can't see the many thousands of Portsmouth fans caring- I'd bet you'd all happily re-live it! The UEFA Cup will be interesting. When Everton qualified for the CL and lost to Villarreal, we got thrashed by Dinamo Bucharest and struggled a bit domestically. But last season we did well in Europe, so it'll be good to see how Harry copes with it. I'm sure he'll add to the squad, and the carrot of European football will definitely help entice players to sign for Pompey. But I'm delighted the final was won by a non big gun. First FA Cup for Portsmouth in 69 years. Thats what the tournament is all about. Many congrats to all at Fratton Park! Worst final ever?!
