Football FanCast columnist Rob Facey looks ahead to Saturday's FA Cup final and wonders who will be leaving Wembley with the famous trophy.

The FA Cup Final is the most famous day in the English football calendar and although tomorrows contest will feature clubs from outside the top four for the first time in over a decade, the game promises to deliver to football fans everywhere.

Portsmouth, who finished an impressive eighth in the Premier League, will, under the guidance of manager Harry Redknapp, be looking to cap a glorious season with a cup triumph.

Redknapp, who is one of the most popular figures in the game, would not be begrudged of a trophy by any neutrals and deserves credit for turning Portsmouth into one of the more attractive Premier League clubs to watch.

Their success is built on a solid defence with veteran goalkeeper David James and captain Sol Campbell key performers, both of whom who have FA Cup final experience.

Sylvain Distin, the French defender brought in by Redknapp on a free last May, completes the defensive trio that Cardiff will have to work hard to break down at Wembley, and is convinced that his move to the South Coast has been the best of his career.

"I played for Newcastle and I didn't win anything, I played for City and I didn't win anything, either," Distin told The Times.

"At Portsmouth, I'm going to play in a Cup Final for the first time in my career, so for me that's the most important thing.

"I remember when I signed here, some people didn't say too much, but I could see in their eyes, ‘Why Portsmouth?' They have the answer today."

Distin, who won the French League Cup in 2000, is wary of the threat posed by Dave Jones's Cardiff side and insists Portsmouth won't be taking victory for granted.

When the French defender lifted the trophy in 2000 he was playing for second division side Gueugnon who had defeated PSG, but he is keen being on the receiving end of such an upset tomorrow.

"We had a bit of luck, we had good footballers," he said.

"We believed. For me, Cardiff are not a small side and it's going to be a tough game until the last second."

Dave Jones' Bluebirds have been a revelation this season in the Championship and the FA Cup and although they missed out on the playoffs, fans will be hopeful that they can pull off an unlikely victory tomorrow.

Midfielder Aaron Ramsey has been linked with a high profile move in the summer, with Sir Alex Ferguson known to be a keen admirer. The 17 year old will be the second youngest player to feature in the FA Cup Final if he plays and will no doubt make life difficult for Pompey's ageing stars.

But do the Premier League side have too much strength? Will the trophy be heading to the South Coast or to South Wales?

Can Cardiff score the biggest cup upset of the season and achieve European football next season?

One thing is for sure, the game will be a lot more open and exciting than last season's dour affair where a long Premier League season which was preceded by the World Cup took its toll on the superstars of Man United and Chelsea.

The game was played at a pedestrian pace with the players on both sides, particularly those that had been involved in the summer tournament, looking exhausted. That will not be a problem on Saturday and fans should be looking forward to a brilliant game.

But will it be Jones or Redknapp leaving Wembley with the FA Cup held aloft tomorrow evening?
