Man I'm glad I only had one bet this weekend.

I do hope this is a one off though.

If this happend every year the FA cup would become a joke like the french/german cups.

A Welsh side going to Wemberlee, possibly taking a European place away from an English team?

Only if it was felt the top teams weren't trying. I don't think that can be said of Man U and Chelsea in the last two games!

So to be considered not a joke, and for the FA Cup to be "good", the "Big 4" would have to contest the semis and the final every single year? That's a joke. I for one am glad that the "Big 4" are all out of this year's FA Cup before the semis. All games between the "Big 4" tend to be pretty drab affairs, especially in the latter stages of competitions. 'Mon a lower league side to steal a coveted European place from the Premiership. lol!!

Yes. Who can forget the classic 2005 Final where Arsenal defended like mad for 120 minutes, and the won the Cup on penalties.

Or Perhaps you're refering to the Final the year before? 2004? That thrillingly one sided game between Man U and Millwall. That was a wonderful game. Truely Amazing.

No? is it the 2003 Final you're refering to? Where Arsenal scraped past Southampton 1-0, in a game with a mind numbing lack of action?

I'd go on, but looking back since the Finals since 1995, I'd say that the Liverpool - West Ham and the Liverpool - Arsenal Final are the only two you could perhaps remotely descibe as good matches. The Man U Liverpool - Final of 96? Chelsea - Boro? Two successive Finals were Newcastle didn't turn up?

They've all been pretty poor.

Bang on.

The mans talking out his arse. Will be a breath of fresh air to have some different teams at Wemberleeee this year. I had predictablility. (sp? :whistle:)

I'd like to place on record that it'll be Pompey vs Cardiff final.

Cardiff's Aaron Ramsey is looking a real talent in this game. Playing with great maturity and control. Same age as one Joseph Mattock, I think.

This years F.A Cup gets better and better!

Infact this year on a whole as neutral concerning the top 4 is getting better and better, None of the top 4 winning Carling Cup, None of the top 4 winning F.A Cup, The Premiership is still wide open (One of the top 4 will win that, Well more top 3 tbh, but it's fairly close, Normally theres a gap by now), and hopefully Man Utd to win the Champions League. (Can't stand Arsenal, Chelsea, Wouldn't mind if Liverpool won it, but would prefer Man Utd, Mind you there might not even be an English winner)

Not the top 4 but if the lower teams keep winning the shine will come off the FA cup and it will become a cup like the carling cup where premiership teams put out there reserves.

Not saying I wouldnt like lower teams to do well but the FA has tradition and has been held in high regard for 100+ years it would be a shame if it lost that.

Serves the FA right to be honest.

Big teams aren't interested as much anymore.

If the big clubs are putting out their strongest sides and performing half-heartedly, getting beat by dogged, determined, hard-working lower-league sides, then so fucking what if the FA Cup loses its shine. The "magic of the cup" is something that the big teams are enhancing all by themselves. They're too complacent at present, which is why they're being caught up in all aspects by a select few sides in the Prem. Big teams don't have a divine right to win it, they have to earn that right. If they don't / can't be bothered, then serves them right. Serves the fucking FA right as well, fucking greedy favouritist wankers.

Which is nothing if anything to do with the so called big clubs it's the shock results, the giant killing that gives it it's magic otherwise it would be just like watching your average premiership game.

You ask any none Leicester supporter to think of a classic LCFc cup game and they will mention the likes ofWycombe not the games where we've won and played exciting football.

I presume Ollie's got himself a ringside seat at the Bristol Rovers Cup game although as we play WBA next week he can for once justify his undying love for the other blue team!
