We lost on pens to Manchester United, and I think they deserved it. Pompey now have Chelsea away next Sunday!!!!
From the Official Pompey Site
Pompey were denied another piece of Wembley silverware, losing 3-1 on penalties after a goalless 90 minutes.
Jermain Defoe was the player to successfully convert his spot-kick with Lassana Diarra, Arnold Mvuemba and Glen Johnson all off target.
Harry Redknapp made three changes from the side that lifted the FA Cup at Wembley 85 days ago.
Defoe, who was cup-tied for that match in May, partnered summer-signing Peter Crouch up front while Papa Bouba Diop slotted into the midfield.
The three players to make way were Kanu, who has a sore thigh, John Utaka and Sulley Muntari, who completed his switch to Inter Milan last month. Linvoy Primus and Glen Little were both absent with knocks.
