| Match Summary | Pompey hold a relegation party at Wembley Stadium! 40,000 Blues fans make so much noise that it almost lifts the roof off the new ground. Avram Grant inspires his team of misfits to reach a second Wembley final in three years against all odds made even the sweeter by the fact that the Spurs side was managed by Harry and contained a number of ex Blues players. In extra time Picquionne capitalised on a Dawson slip and Dindane broke clear to be bought down in the area and Boateng slammed the spot kick home to euphoric scenes in one half of the stadium with other end empty! |
