That would of been an immense goal. Kanu has always had amazingly close control. Nice bit of work from Diarra a few minutes previous, too.

[GA!]

Kanu becomes a contender for 'Worst Miss of the Season'. The shot wasn't tight at all.

[IAceI]

Cameron Jerome won't be having any of that I'm afraid. He has possibly the worst miss of the season.

[brenchill]

It's still Cameron Jerome's title but on closer inspection that was a bad miss from Kanu. Not as bad as Baros' from the semi final though .

[TheRossWalker]

Kanu, 1-0 Portsmouth.

[King Ellis]

Kanu makes up for the miss.

Who's this wonderkid that Dave Jones was harping on about the other day in the media? Is he on the bench?

[Crybaby Bunting]

I dont see how the commentators are calling that definate handball, looks to me like it was kicked into his armpit

Aaron Ramsey?

Eh, that sort of area, in and around the penalty box, your hand's raised and it makes contact with the ball, it's almost always going to be given as a handball.

Can someone please ask John Motson to give us some more information on Portsmouth's new midfielder Boo Bah Jop? Not heard of him before, did they sign him in January?

[METALMAN]

Enckelman on the attacking freekick!

EDIT: And it's over. Portsmouth win.

Well done Portsmouth, well played Cardiff just lacked that extra bit of quality really. Wasn't an amazing game but credit to Portsmouth.

Haven't you seen him before? He's Jar-Jar Binks' cousin.

[brenchill]

If that's how Sol Campbell always talks he could be in line to take over from John Barnes on Channel 5 if he ever jacks it in.

[TMM]

Decent enough game with a great atmosphere. I'm happy Portsmouth won it, Redknapp's deserved it for everything he's done in the game. Plus a bunch of former Arsenal boys there, so with that's nice as well. Well done.

[Crybaby Bunting]

To be honest it was one of those games that was neither excelent or shockingly bad, it'd be a perfectly acceptable premier league match or whatever but just seems a little bit of a let down as the final of the most prestigious cup in England.

Maybe I'm just saying this because it reminded me so much of the West Brom match the round before >_<

The way he was pronouncing "Kranjcar" was annoying me too. I'm not sure if I'm getting it right by saying "kran-char," but Motty was saying "kran-chyiar". It could be right, I don't know. I just hate Motty. I would've had SkySports on, but my Dad was watching it downstairs on BBC, which was like 6 seconds ahead of Sky, and they had the TV blaring, so if anything of note happened, I would've known about it.

[IAceI]

I don't think any major name commentators can pronounce a footballers name properly.
