Harry: Semis shouldn't be at Wembley
Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp would prefer it if the Football Association decided not to play the FA Cup semi-finals at Wembley.[LNB] Redknapp's Spurs side take on his former club Portsmouth in Sunday's second last-four encounter at the national stadium.[LNB]The FA have played the semis at Wembley since 2008 in a bid to raise extra funds to offset the estimated £900million cost of the stadium.[LNB]Redknapp finds this disappointing, telling the London Evening Standard: "I was there with Portsmouth two years ago and it was great to get two trips to Wembley. When you are involved in it, you take it.[LNB]"But over the years, when you are talking about the FA Cup, I would still prefer the semi-finals to be played at neutral grounds.[LNB]"You certainly don't want to lose in the semi-finals when they're played at Wembley. It's okay being there but you don't want to get beaten, especially when you are the favourites, as we were with Portsmouth in 2008.[LNB]"We had beaten Manchester United in the quarter-finals and we were the only Premier League club left in the competition, so there was undoubtedly pressure on us to beat West Brom on that day."
