FOOTBALL 2007-2008 FA Cup Portsmouth WBA-Portsmouth Redknapp - 0

Harry Redknapp:

"It's fantastic to be going to a cup final. Full credit to West Brom, they passed the ball well and made a game of it.

"We didn't pass the ball as we can in the first half, and they took hold of the ball. I think they'll come up this year."

Tony Mowbray:

"It's ok, we've come out with a bit of confidence and belief with six important games to play. I thought we showed we are a decent team, only disappointing that we didn't threaten their keeper enough. It wasn't happening for us today but that's football. Our priority is the league and hopefully we can win some games and get in the Premier League.

"I've no complaints [about Milan Baros's goal], he had a few little handballs today, he got booked for one I think, but they were very well-organised defensively and that's what their success is built on."
