Fowler ready for FA Cup Final

Cardiff City forward Robbie Fowler has admitted he is looking forward to the FA Cup Final against Portsmouth, despite spending six months on the sidelines with injury issues. Fowler has admitted he hopes to have some part to play in the Cup Final.

"Bearing in mind the season I've had, scoring the winner in an FA Cup final would be fairytale stuff," said Fowler.

"But I'd settle for any of the Cardiff boys scoring the winner. It's been difficult watching the team get to the final when I haven't been involved."

"But I've trained hard and am naturally desperate to be there. If I scored the winner it would be straight out of a Roy of the Rovers comic."

"But in an ideal world I'd come on when we were 3-0 up! The Cardiff lads have been great to me, they've kept me involved and feeling a part of it.

"We've some good young players but I don't think the likes of Joe Ledley and Aaron Ramsey need much advice from anyone. But I do have big-game experience and if anyone wants some help they know that all they have to do is ask.

"Although the campaign has been personally disappointing I'm delighted for everyone at the club. To reach the final is a massive achievement for Portsmouth, let alone a club like Cardiff as at the start of the season no-one would have looked beyond the big four Premiership sides."
