Sol Campbell has praised his boss Harry Redknapp for the way Portsmouth have improved over the last two years, and insists that the club now have a winning mentality. Pompey could be set for a historic FA Cup triumph this afternoon.

Campbell said: "The lads who have come in over the last two years since I've been here have been fantastic. The gaffer [Harry Redknapp] has brought in some great players.

"There is now a lot of experience combined with a will to win and that's the main thing. That mentality feeds through to everyone.

"Harry Redknapp has assembled a great side and he can get the best out of players. That is his forte. Obviously I'm happy he didn't go to Newcastle when he had the chance.

"He's happy down here, he knows the place inside-out, knows when to push, knows when to hold back. He's a great manager and Saturday will be a great day for him."
