During the 2008–09 football season Portsmouth will play their 6th consecutive season in the highest tier of English football, the English Premier League. Thanks to the exploits of the previous season, Portsmouth achieved European football for the first time in their footballing history, thanks to an FA Cup win over Cardiff City and will compete in the UEFA Cup.
They also participated in the Charity Shield against Manchester United on August 10, 2008, at Wembley Stadium, eventually losing on penalties. This was the first time since 1996 that a team outside of the Big Four will have competed in the competition.
Events
On 20 June 2008, Portsmouth announced their first official transfer of the summer, signing Reading midfielder Glen Little on a free transfer.[1] After much speculation, Portsmouth announced their new record signing in the recapture of Liverpool forward Peter Crouch. [2] 11 August saw Portsmouth face Manchester United at Wembley Stadium in the Community Shield. The match ended in a goal-less draw, with United winning 3-1 in a penalty shootout. [3] Darren Fletcher came close to scoring twice for United before the deciding shoot-out, as well as both teams having various appeals for penalties discarded.
