It'll be emotional! Prospect of Pompey Cup semi moves Spurs star Kranjcar
Tottenham midfielder Niko Kranjcar admits it will be an emotional occasion if he faces former club Portsmouth for a place in the FA Cup Final.[LNB]The Croatia international will face Avram Grant's crisis-stricken side next month if Spurs can beat Fulham in a quarter-final replay at White Hart Lane on March 24.[LNB]And Kranjcar admits facing his ex-employers at Wembley will be difficult.[LNB] Roller-coaster: Niko Kranjcar [LNB]He said: 'Because of the emotion it would be a hard game to play,' said the 25-year-old, whose side were held to a 0-0 draw at Craven Cottage on Saturday. [LNB]'I had a great time down there. Portsmouth was the first club that game me an opportunity to prove myself in international football. [LNB]'I think all the former players who won the FA Cup and then left the club still have a special emotion, a special feeling, for the club. For three years I really enjoyed my time there. We had some great results there. [LNB]'But I'm not happy with what is happening with the club now. Throughout the season they haven't shown they're a team that should be relegated. [LNB]'With the quality that they have, they should easily be mid-table. Unfortunately, with all the problems, it does influence the team, it does impact upon the team, and some results haven't gone their way. [LNB]'But they've kept on fighting and if by some luck they don't get the nine points deducted [for going into administration], they might stay up.'
