Il Portsmouth, nonostante la deludentissima stagione in EPL anticipatamente conclusasi con la retrocessione in Championship e con la società caduta in regime di amministrazione controllata, con conseguente penalizzazione in classifica, eliminando il Tottenham si è garantito il diritto di accedere alla finale di FA Cup. Sebbene contro il Chelsea non si prospetti una gara facile, tutt’altro, ora i tifosi dei Pompeys sognano un traguardo che solo poche settimane fa appariva quasi impossibile. In Scozia, invece, a sognare di alzare la coppa nazionale è il Dundee ( fans in foto ) che, nell’ epilogo, se la dovrà vedere con il Ross County, formazione che ha appena estromesso i Celtic con un sorprendentissimo due a zero. Gli arancioni ora, visto il pessimo momento dei biancoverdi, puntano a superarli anche nella corsa al secondo posto in campionato che vale l’ accesso ai preliminari di Champions’ League.
Avram Grant hails Portsmouth’s FA Cup win over Spurs
Grant celebrates ‘biggest’ achievement
Portsmouth manager Avram Grant said an FA Cup final spot was a reward for not giving up during a season of turmoil.
A day after relegation from the Premier League, two extra-time goals gave debt-ridden Pompey a 2-0 win over Tottenham and set up a final with Chelsea in May.”To be in the final because of what’s happened is a good lesson to everybody not to take the easy solution. The easy solution is to give up,” stated Grant.”We have lived day by day. Despite this we’re in the final. It is a crazy day.”Portsmouth’s place in the Championship next season was confirmed after West Ham’s 1-0 victory over Sunderland on Saturday left the top flight’s bottom side 17 points from safety with only 15 points to play for.”This is a great achievement after what has happened,” added Grant.

“One day I came and all my staff said to me next week there is no club. We could write a book about the many things against us this season.”I cannot even describe what I feel. This achievement is more than football – to be in the final, it’s unbelievable.”Portsmouth’s relegation had been expected following their nine-point deduction as punishment for going into administration in February.But even before the points penalty it had looked likely that Grant’s side would be battling against the drop and they had gone into Sunday’s semi-final as rank outsiders.
However, the south-coast club produced a spirited and gritty display to stun Spurs in one of the most memorable shocks in the competition’s last four in recent years.After holding out to 0-0 in normal time, Frederic Piquionne’s strike and a Kevin-Prince Boateng penalty three minutes from the end guided Pompey to the final, where they will face Double-chasing Cup holders Chelsea.Grant, who replaced the sacked Paul Hart at Fratton Park in February, enthused: “These fans this year, I will not forget it all my life.”This achievement belongs to the fans and the players. The players did not give up and these fans show how fans need to be.”
The usually sedate Avram Grant releases some emotion at Wembley

Harry Redknapp’s Tottenham, with former Pompey heroes Peter Crouch and Jermain Defoe in their starting line-up, had edged an uninspiring 90 minutes but the London side had no answer to Portsmouth’s two extra-time goals.”Even if we had come with our strongest squad, Tottenham are still probably better than us,” reflected Grant, who was without the cup-tied Jamie O’Hara, as well as the injured Tal Ben Haim, Danny Webber and Hermann Hreidarsson.”With tactics you can do things against teams that play very good football.”We didn’t even have one defender on the bench. They did a great job, they scored two goals, what more can I ask?”Israeli Grant, meanwhile, was reluctant to assess his side’s chances of producing another major shock in the 15 May final against his former club.”In football, anything can happen but let’s celebrate and then we will think about the final.”Redknapp, who led Pompey to FA Cup glory in 2008, paid tribute to his former club, despite being bitterly upset with the state of the Wembley surface and that his midfielder Niko Kranjcar was denied a goal for a challenge on keeper David James.”It was a good goal that we had disallowed, I’ve watched it four or five times but that’s how it goes,” said Redknapp.
“It wasn’t our day. We had opportunities but we couldn’t stick one away. Full credit to Portsmouth, they were always dangerous on the counter-attack and had pace.”Credit too to Avram Grant. He’s done a great job because they were well set up and organised.”

Dundee Utd boss targets Celtic and Champions League spot after guiding Arabs to Scottish Cup Final
Apr 12 2010 By Hugh Keevins
PETER HOUSTON last night warned crisis-hit Celtic that Dundee United will go for the jugular in a bid to grab second spot.
After his side sealed a Scottish Cup Final showdown against Ross County with a 2-0 win over Raith in the Hampden sun yesterday, the United boss turned his attention to pipping the fallen giants to a Champions League place.The Tannadice outfit – who saw off Rovers thanks to goals from David Goodwillie and Andy Webster – are just five points behind the Parkhead outfit and will have home advantage when they clash for the final time in three weeks.First they face Rangers at Tannadice on Wednesday though and Houston is hell-bent on giving all he’s got to ensure his side again down the champions-elect.He said: “The Rangers game is massive for us. We’re going to have a right pop at them, like we did when we put them out of the Cup when we met in the last round.”Andy Webster’s not allowed to play against them and Paul Dixon’s out with an injury but the Cup’s on the back burner and we’re going out to enjoy the match with no excuses.”Dixon will find out in the next 48 hours if he faces the heartbreak of missing the Final. A scan will tell if there’s a fracture in his foot.Houston also revealed he had gathered his players together for a Sunday-morning meeting at which they were warned to avoid being caught out like Celtic were against RossCounty .Houston said: “I spoke about the Celtic result and said to the players, ‘This is what can happen to you if you’re not careful’.”I felt as if Raith took inspiration from the County result. We won in the end without being outstanding. But you don’t have to be outstanding in semi-finals, you just have to win. And eventually we gave our fans a fantastic day.”Houston’s own future won’t be decided until after the Final but the interim manager fully expects to become the permanent boss after a discussion with chairman Stephen Thompson.He said: “We’re in the Final and we’re pushing for second place. I’d be surprised if I wasn’t asked to take the job .”The meeting with the chairman was arranged before we knew we were going to be in the Final.”Between now and then I’ll have someone at every game Ross County play.”Craig Brewster’s the assistant manager there and he’ll know everything there is to know about United, having played and managed here.”Raith boss John McGlynn said: “We’ve got eight league games left to play and we need another six points from those to meet my survival target.”It’s a lot of games in a short space of time and that would affect any club but I’m confident we can do it.”We had to score when we were on top against United and that didn’t happen but we’ve lost to a side who’re flying.”

Un noto leader di una Firm, richiesto di commentare i consueti incidenti procurati all’estero dai Lads, dichiarò alla stampa “Margaret Thatcher ci deve condannare pubblicamente ma dentro di sè sarà sicuramente orgogliosa del lavoro fatto dai ragazzi”.. Questo libro si propone come un viaggio attraverso quarant’anni di trasferte oltre Manica dei Casuals britannici al seguito delle selezioni nazionali e delle squadre di club. La narrazione delle principali trasferte può facilmente diventare il paradigma per descrivere centinaia di giornate nelle quali le firms hanno esportato all’estero il loro bagaglio di fedeltà, nazionalismo, alcoolismo e, spesso, anche violenza. Il volume si propone come naturale seguito di “Lads 2009”, dello stesso autore, che illustra la scena attuale dei mobs britannici tra le mura domestiche. Sangue, birra e Red Hand gli ingredienti ricorrenti di un cocktail spesso esplosivo |
