Of course it pits Pompey against their former gaffer, ‘Arry Redknapp, and a bunch of former Fratton favourites – so mixed emotions all round and in a one-off cup tie on the hallowed turf of Wembley anything could happen. And that’s what makes the massive 9/1 odds offered on Portsmouth beating Spurs in 90 minutes so amazing – surely any Pompey fan heading to watch the match at the stadium or settling in front of the TV will see that a tenner on that could be a nice little earner. Rip up the form book and the League table and get on this one!

If they’re going to do it, Portsmouth need to build on a base of solid defence to curb the frightening attacking potential of Defoe and Co. and then maybe catch Spurs napping at the back. Frustrating them for at least a half and then sneaking a goal could be the path to a 1-0 victory and that’s worth a wager at 25/1. Semi Finals have a habit of throwing up some strange results and this one may be no different – a shock 2-0 defeat of Tottenham would defy the pundits and certainly the bookies – that’s a whopping 90/1 shot!
