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 Confused

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.

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. Laughing

All harmless fun in my opinion

Well said mate. It's called BANTER.

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

I'd have to agree with you there J-axe, although Steely was an ignorant prat who caused a lot of contoversy at times, for instance the whole Jock racist thing he had going on with Graham, he was a solid poster who always had something to say in his posts rather just a sweeping statment loosely related to the topic at hand. The forum will definately be a poorer place without him around as he made a genuine effort to talk about football in real depth, which most members dont, me included sometimes aswell im afraid Sad

.

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.

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 as painful as seeing you escaping another religation by the skin of your teeth. But then there is always next season for you to go down while Pompey (Hampshires Premier Team) take Europe by storm.

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.

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 Laughing

ImmortaL · Posted: Sun May 18, 2008 10:18 am

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...

Big Jono · Posted: Sun May 18, 2008 10:24 am

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.

rachrvp · Posted: Sun May 18, 2008 10:27 am

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 Shocked

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 Laughing
