I refer you to my previous statement!

Yes I've had a few days to come back down to Earth and regain my senses......... and I've totally and utterly failed!
I still don't think I've even processed that we were in the FA Cup semi-final at Wembley to begin with, let alone the fact that I was actually at the game, with all the greatest fans in the world, AND that we WON the game, and are now in THE FA CUP FINAL!

To those of you not familiar with British football, the FA Cup is a knockout tournament that basically means, along with the luck of the draw, any team in the country can win the trophy, simply by winning their match and progressing to the next round, and so on. Until there are just TWO teams left.... and this year, from the 731 teams to start the tournament, CARDIFF CITY and Portsmouth are those two remaining.

Over the past few years, the Cup has become rather stale, bland and dry as its become dominated by the so called "big four" teams in English football: Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool & Manchester United. This year has seen shock after shock as smaller teams have beaten the bigger richer ones, and brought the romance back into this competition.

Now, after 81 years since our last appearance in the Final, when we became the only team to take the FA Cup out of England, the 2008 version of the Bluebirds are once again flying high into the final.

Here are just a few of the wonderful memories from the semi-final against Barnsley on Sunday afternoon. There's plenty more to follow!













Hope you enjoy these small samples of the build up to the big game!
