I agree with Sparky on the matter concerning Steely, although i didnt like it when Steely made the remarks about Cardiff and about Welsh people in general, i think some people on here make similar remarks towards our English members that Steely was making about us Welsh. I also honestly think Steely doesnt mean most of the stuff he says, or does he i dont know. I dotn think he should of been banned although he has said some wrong thing is a valued member of the forum.

Anyhoo back on topic, Congratulations to Pompey, well except for Sol. I also feel quite bad for Jermaine Defoe both teams he has played for this season win a trophy and he doesnt get either. Ah Well.

Yeah, slap on the wrist for Steely and let's move on.

So glad Pompey won this final. English winners of an English Cup

Also happy because of Harry Redknapp. Oh and because I put £300 on them to win

So lets get things straight is Steely actually been banned or was he just being warned? Also i dont think he was really causing any harm, come on he was saying stuff about Welsh people but we all know that us Welshies say the same sort of stuff towards the English just most of us dont do it in a place where we can be banned. All harmless fun in my opinion

Just watched the highlights and seemed pretty straightforward for Pompey.

Cardiff goal ruled out was spot on.

Nice little backheel from Niko, and he speaks very good English. English is easier than Croat!!!

to be fair to Cardiff it wasnt that straightforward.

yeah i wouldnt have said it was straightforward. infact i'd have said the game was completely even, not much in it at all. apart from the goal obviously


oh...i'd also like to add about MOTM. Kanu got it. i know they almost always give it to the goal scorer if the match ends 1-0, but i really dont think he deserved it. what does everyone think?

Pompey do that well...score a goal, then sit back and keep the clean sheet.

Well said mate. It's called BANTER.

he's not banned

I guess, but you cant say it was straightforward. Cardiff could have scored a few times. They had as many chances as Pompey did. Pompey just took one of theres.


I would have gave MOTM to Diarra or one of the centre backs

And you think that because in your opinion he was a "solid" poster that is good enough reason to let his poison continue. I personally stopped acknowledging his posts as a way of cleansing myself of that sort of negativity.I'm surprised that he wasn't banned a long time ago actually.A site is only as good as it's posters, and anyone just happening onto this site and are confronted by some of that guy's posts would be put off.
Life's too short for that type of garbage.This forum is a better place without him in my eyes.

If youve watched the Pompey defence for most the season, you can say they dealt with that quite easily.
Like they normally do. Not a case of bad attacking, but good defending.

Quality of the teams was the difference.

Lets be honest, who cares what you think!

Ok my fault, let's re-instate him, i just want to fit in!

In other words SMD!

Congrats Pompey you deserved that cup. Unlucky Cardiff you should be proud of your effort,it wasn't a walk in the park for Harry's men.

Not very nice post. Lets try and be friendly here. Everyone has an opinion.

[Edited - Not very nice - Big Jono]

That is all.

You really believe that? 11th isnt exactly by the skin of our teeth, and Ramos doesnt really seem like the kind of bloke to get us relegated no? hahahhaa

Think I go the wrong end of the stick, thought you were refering to Harry.

So it is ok for him to say stuff about steely when he's not even around. But hey im the [beep!] [beep!] somehow. Ok!




Thanks for editing it Jono.
I dont care if that is what he thinks of me. Im sure he is not the only one that has that opinion

I agree there Rach, there were certainly others more worthy.

He shouldn't have got it for his goal celebration alone.

And then when he picked up the cup and swayed it side to side, I just cringed

I think ESPN-Star Sports gave the man of the Match to Diarra(He only got 0.5% of the votes in the Nokia-MOTM contest while Kanu got 79%. But still the ESPN-Star panel gave MOTM to Diarra)).

I also thought he deserved to be the MOTM as played well throughout the match...

Diarra should have got it, he was outstanding, and miles better than Old Canoe up front.

Really really want us to sign Diarra this summer. I think he will be Frances next Makalele.

glad people agree! i also think Diarra should have got MOTM. he did so much more than Kanu. all Kanu really did was score that one goal and miss an absolute sitter. and sparky, you're so right about his celebration he looked like he couldnt decide what to do, what a turnip!

Yea he forgot which way to run, and after turning back twice tried to turn it into his celebration like hed planned it all along
