And as disappointed as I am not to have a Barnsley-West Brom final, I think we all would have gasped in shock had we been told before the season started that it would be Portsmouth against Cardiff. ORACLE: It's going to be Portsmouth against Cardiff in the final. US: Man Utd against Chelsea? ORACLE: No, Portsmouth-Cardiff. <em>Portsmouth-Cardiff</em>. US: Oh, <em>I</em> understand. It's Man Utd versus <em>Chelsea</em>. ORACLE: Ports...mouth. Car...diff. US: Chel...sea?

West Brom couldn't capitalize on their first half domination or their last ten minutes of frenetic activity and 'appy 'arry and his band of B-list mercenaries are through to the final. Booo.
