Portsmouth defender Hermann Hreidarsson has hailed the club's progression to the semi-finals of the FA Cup. Despite Pompey's well-documented off-field problems the players secured a much-needed 2-0 success over Birmingham in the quarter-finals on Saturday. The financial reward that comes with a cup run has taken on added significance for the south coast outfit, who are currently in administration with debt estimated in the region of £70million. Although Hreidarsson helped Pompey claim FA Cup glory in 2008, the Icelandic defender believes their current run this season eclipses that tremendous feat. "Without a doubt it's a greater achievement than two years ago," said Hreidarsson. "Even though we beat Manchester United away that season, with the changes of personnel at the club and everything else going on, it's a great achievement. It's been frustrating because we didn't know who the owners were or what was going on. There have been negative vibes and doom and gloom throughout the season. But, when you go over the white line, you concentrate on playing football."

David Moyes singled out Mikel Arteta for special praise after watching his side hammer Hull at Goodison Park. Midfield maestro Arteta capped a virtuoso display with two goals and an assist in Sunday afternoon's 5-1 mauling of the Tigers. The home Premier League win was Everton's sixth on the bounce and sees them leapfrog Fulham and Birmingham into eighth place. And, speaking to Sky Sports after the match, Moyes was quick to praise the man-of-the-match display from Arteta, who made just his third start of the campaign following a lengthy injury. "He (Arteta) was involved in some fantastic stuff out there, he joined in, he got in the box, he played a slightly different role for us today through the middle and he's improving all the time," said Moyes. "He's not quite there yet, but when he's right we are a really good team. We've been playing really well, I've been disappointed in some of the main games where we've just not turned up. I've told the players if they want their season to keep going every fixture is going to be questionable. Today they went about the job right, we've not really beaten anyone well this season so to get five today was a big bonus."
