I will be working my way through the article and adding any queries where I see fit. Feel free to make corrections, or correct me as I go along.

General
 * No concerns with imaging.
 * No concerns about the reliability of sources.
 * No dab links, nor dead links.
 * Two of the external links do not meet WP:EL as they are used as references. They need removing.
 * Ref 34 was published on 'guardian.co.uk' not The Guardian newspaper.

Lead
 * Replace comma in "...the eleventh time, they had previously..." with a semicolon.
 * "Cardiff's matches were all close affairs, the biggest margin they won by was two goals." and "Liverpool's matches were similarly close. Their biggest margin of victory was two goals..." I don't see no reason why this can't be merged. Something like "Both Liverpool and Cardiff's matches were close affairs; their biggest margins of victory was by two goals. Liverpool beat Manchester City to reach the final, where as Cardiff progressed on penalties against Crystal Palace"
 * The lead should act as a summary of the article; there is no mention about what the managers thought after the match.

Route to the final

Have taken the liberty to copyedit these.

Match report
 * when a Gunnarsson long-throw is", long throw does not need to be hyphenated, otherwise fine.

Post match
 * Anthony Gerrard, who missed the decisive penalty took to Twitter to apologise to Cardiff fans stating that the miss would "...haunt me for the rest of my days!" needs a source, preferably a news report.
 * "Liverpool's first match after the final was against Arsenal, a match the club needed to win to stay in touch with the top four.", said who?
 * It states "Kenny Dalglish's side, fresh from their Carling Cup final victory, paraded that trophy before kick-off but their hopes of using it as a foundation for a push towards the Champions League places were to be frustrated." not sure if that is sufficient enough? If not I'll reword it. NapHit (talk) 17:05, 13 June 2012 (UTC)

Otherwise, a good article. On hold. -- Lemonade51 (talk) 13:09, 13 June 2012 (UTC)
