well well well….Well done Portsmouth…I am happy to see those suckers losing. .hahahahahahhah…I just can’t believe how Portsmouth defended their goal…this is another proof that Man-u is just a lucky team…but hey Man-U, Mr. Luck was busy today and he did not have time for you….He had an appointment with Portsmouth….hahahahahah..I think this a curse from Lyon…Bottom line: man-u is out of English Cup now…so everyone shut the F up and start coming up with excuses.

I fought funny when Ferdinand put on goalkeepershirt and gloves but i saw the game well! There were bad guys on the field and the referee was the biggest one

Who cares if the ref called a penalty, Man U couldnt finish at all. Carrick should have scored but somehow didnt. Evra hit the post, but it was a nice save from James. Portsmouth just happened to get a penalty and scored from it. You can blame the ref for it but Man U should have atleast had one goal by then

lucky lucky portsmouth…congrats to you. yes it was definitely a penalty, distin essentially bodychecked ronaldo with no intent to play the ball. and yes it was not a red card (not a definite goal scoring opportunity since anderson hald already gotten back to defend and rooney was standing on the line), but refs make mistakes an man utd should have put at least one of those chances away. they didn’t so portsmouth deserved to win - I hate it, but its true.

Lets see are you an Arsenal or Chelsea fan perhaps? Well which ever let me remind you, ehm…4-0 OT if your an Arsenal fan, Barnsley just kicked you out if you a Chelsea fan, if your a Pool fan then really just sad for you! My guess is your an Arsenal fan as those idiots just arent shutting up these days
About this game, one of those in which the ball was never going to go in the back of the net, no matter what, brilliant defending at times, and bad luck at others….and also **** poor refereeing!

manutd,germany..yes I AM AN ARSENAL fan…I say it loudly and proudly…and yes we lost to Man-u 4-0..but guess what…First, we did not play home, and second we played MAN-U not Portsmouth…so our loss is justified…now, let’s talk about man-u’s loss…first, man-u played home..second, they played a below average team…and still lost like idiots at home…Man-u is good in losing at home nowadays. I really like that..

Ya i realize united should have capitalized but Ronny was dropped in the box regardless what anyone says.. Looks like we can focus on premiership and Europe now. Look out Arsenal we’re creeping up…

shoulda finished but we didnt.
i dont blame the defense for giving up a goal. most teams give up a goal. our offense should have put at least 2 of those in.
unlucky, bad finishing and a **** ref. but it was our loss and our fault. no excuses for the result.
btw, there are NO big 4 teams in the competition.
I pick barnsley for the cup. They beat chelsea and liverpool. Only 2 prem sides left in i think, boro and portsmouth. this is going to be a fun one. imagine, cause its entirely plausible: an ALL CHAMPIONSHIP final for the FA Cup. This is great for the sport. it is year of the underdogs.

just thought I’d point out that that below average team has won more away games then your arsenal this season.
and an unlucky 1-0 is nowhere near as embarrassing as a 4-0 whipping.
good luck in the prem, you’ll need it.

Arsenal are clearly the favourites to win epl after beating milan in milan..This loss should make manu come back strong ,they deserved to win this game..
anyway as an arsenal fan i want arsenal to beat manu in uefa cl, i hope they meet in quaterfinals..
and hope arsenal meet barca next roud and show henry that they miss him least..
GO ARSENAL GO!!!!

As a Man U fan I should point out that I’m happy to see Pompey through and I won’t make any excuses about having Rio in goal. Although to be honest anyone could score if Ferdinand’s wearing the gloves.
/ Still I’m just happy to see a non big four final. BARNSLEY FOR THE CUP! GO BARNSLEY!!!

There was definitely an element of luck to pompey’s victory however, Harry Redknapp was correct to employ the only tactic that was feasible to get through the game which was to defend like ****, play counters and hope for the best… so well done to pompey
On another different topic - HOLI **** IS FRED54!! I dream about you day and night and am grateful for all those joys you’ve brought us!! THX!!

This is Rather interesting ‘cos I guessed right that after that 4-0 win against Arsenal, Man U would lose their next game; they are way to proud and pompous. I guess they thought they had already won the FA Cup and forgot that they haven’t won anything yet. So much for that win against Arsenal. What a waste! over and out.

That may have been the unluckiest game United could ever have.
Ronaldo denied of a clear penalty.
Tevez’s shot cleared off the line.
Carrick’s shot cleared off the line….somehow….
Evra’s shot denied by the post.
All in all, a bad game for Manchester United…

ABSOLUTE “BS”, I CANNOT BELIEVE THERE IS ARSENAL FANS TALKING ON THIS SITE ABOUT THIS GAME WHEN THEY SEE IT, THEY KNOW IT THAT THIS A COMPLETE FARSE AND PLOT TO GET MAN U OUT OF THIS COMPETITION. THE PREMIERSHIP SHOULD LAUNCH A INVESTIGATION IN THE SAME STYLE THE ITALIAN LEAGUE DID ON CROOKED REFEREES. I KNOW THIS ONE WAS..

Really, i felt United should have gotten the penalty (i’m not complaining, though,I am an Arsenal fan) but all in all i felt Portsmouth deserved to win. They defended superbly. Bad luck really for Man U.
May the best man win the Prem/ChampsLeague.
Only time will tell.

Haha. Carlos Tevez. Can’t even beat a goal without a keeper. Why did he shoot like that? All he had to do was side foot it into a corner.

united lost, it’s simple as that. true, united had much more possession; yes, they had many, many oppurtunities to put the game away; also, i’m sure any reasonable person would say that there should have been a penalty for ronaldo and that kuszczak should not have been sent off. however, all of these are moot points because they will not change the result. united were much more inventive against pompey than against lyon but lacked any type of finishing touch.
to the arsenal supporters, are you really going to mock united…really? why wasn’t arsenal playing in the cup today. oh, that’s right; united knocked them out by beating them 4-0 and making a downright mockery of them. so please refrain from talking sh*t when we handed you your *** just a few weeks ago.
united have plenty of excuses at their disposal but really shouldn’t use any of them. hopefully this loss will affect the team positively.

What a great year for the F.A. cup. Someone different from the top 4 will win it for a change! Man U showed their class but it wasn’t to be. It’s a shame that they weren’t magnanimous in defeat. That shows a different level of class to be able to do that. By the way any Scummers reading this? I bet you’re sick of seeing Pompey doing so well. I hope you remain sick for years to come!!

Brave ref, and i think he got all the decisions right. For the Pompey penalty, why did Man U put Anderson one of their best attacking players on the half way line?? Ruining one of the best attacking mids in the world… Damn funny though that two hated arrogant teams lose in the fa cup when they both must have thought it would be another Man Ure and Chelski chavs final. Hilarious!
Pompey and all the ex-gunners for the Fa Cup!

They are angry coz the only reason they support Man Ure is to watch them win, classic glory hunter fans. They cant understand that other teams sometimes win. And the referee dared not to give another Ronaldo dive as a penalty.

What a nice person not! Sour grapes and a racist to boot. Get a life and grow up
Arsenal so they lost 4-0 to you; however picked their selves up and won 2-0 in Milan signs of champions?
Great to have all 4 so called big clubs out of the FA Cup; great for those teams still involved; even greater for footy on the whole.

They pay the pries of sending arsenal of the Cup, so I am really glad that they’re out not only that they’re out, they were beating by a small club.
It’s sucks to you Man u, at that time.

wow you need to get a grip ronaldo dived maybe you should watch it again on second thoughts dont bother as you are clearly blinded by your hate. my thoughts are that alan hannsen got it spot on manu deserved a penalty and kuzackdidnt deserve the red, oh well at least chelsea lost and arsenal/liverpool were knocked out it the previous rounds so we dont have to suffer them lifting the trophy. i think barnsley deserve to win it after beating both liverpool and chelsea now
