Tomorrow’s 2008 FA Cup final between Portsmouth and Cardiff City promises to be one of the most intriguing season finales in decades.
While this is not the first time in recent years that a relative minnow has made it through to the final of the FA Cup, it is the first time since 1994 that none of the Premier League’s top four teams have made it to the final stage of the competition.
Many will regard tomorrow’s FA Cup final as something of a play off between the Football Championship and the Premier League. With a more level field, the Championship is increasingly regarded as superior entertainment to the big-money Premier League.
Supporters of Championship clubs will be hoping that Cardiff City are capable of proving the quality of their league by downing a team that managed to knock out Manchester United and finish in the top half of the 2007/2008 Premier League table.
Both clubs will be aiming to win their second FA Cup title. Portsmouth last achieved an FA Cup final win in 1939, while Cardiff City last lifted the FA Cup in 1927. William Hill have priced Portsmouth as 1/3 favourites to win the FA Cup, while Cardiff City are priced as outsiders at 12/5.
