Portsmouth Will Win The FA Cup
Whereas Fulham had there dream stopped in the Europa League finals I’m going out on a limb here and say Portsmouth will complete the dream run and defeat Chelsea this weekend to win the FA Cup.
Do these Chelsea players really care about winning the FA Cup? Sure, it would be nice and in any other year being the first Chelsea team to win both the league/FA Cup double would mean a lot but most of these Chelsea players have a greater prize to play for in a weeks time. With John Terry’s scare in practice mid week do you think these Chelsea will dive for a 50/50 ball and risk getting hurt? If I’m Droba I’d be living in a bubble for the next month.
Portsmouth on the other hand, this has been their dream since the start of the year. Once they went into administration the league became secondary with Portsmouth faith sealed thanks to a nine point deduction. Then there is the Avram Grant effect, you can tell these Portsmouth players play hard under him. They could of rolled around at many points in the season and despite being lack of talent their results as the season went on didn’t scream wave the white flag. Chelsea have already seen what a former coach can do against them and Avram Grant knows this Chelsea team quite well.
Then again Chelsea may win by 5-0 but either way I’m leaving this post up. Good luck Pompey.
