Cup Final

Today was the day we thought would never happen. Pompey are in the Cup Final! We are playing Cardiff from the Championship, so it should be a walk-over (if only!) Here are three generations of Fellows Pompey fans arriving at Wembley for the game : Peter, Dad, Me, Will and Freddy.
The teams get a great reception as they come out in front of 90,000 fans.
The Pompey fans massed at the east end of the ground. The atmosphere was fantastic from both sets of fans. We had all waited a long time for this.
Cardiff started the game well, but then after 37 mins Kanu scored for Pompey. It is amazing he can still run when you look at his knees, but he has now scored for Pompey in the semi and the final.Pompey played well in a tense second half. Sulley Muntari takes a corner for Pompey..
Only a few minutes to go. Peter is looking nervous.
The Final whistle blows. 1 v 0 to Pompey. The Pompey fans go wild. The players run over to celebrate with the fans..
What a day, what a game and Pompey have won the cup!
Here's one very happy Pompey fan...
Celebrating with campagne at Will's house before heading out to the pub.
We'll be back at Wembley in August to take on Man Utd in the Charity Sheild, and then Europe! Play Up Pompey.
Also, congratulations again to Peter and Julia on the birth of their second child, Iris Isabel Kanu Fellows!
