The dullest FA Cup ever

[thesilverfoxlfc]

Id rather Chelski win the double rather then Manure any year if it was doen to them two all the time

In one way you want the top teams playing in the FA Cup final year in year out, thats what makes it good.

You dont want to see two leeser teams play in it like a division 3 side and a championship side, it wouldnt have the same appeal or excitement around the world.

I agree. I think the last two seasons have helped restore the status of the FA cup due to the teams that have been involved during the later stages of the competition.

And the lesser teams do **** in the UEFA cup, gotta ask if the losers of a cup final really do deserve their place in the UEFA cup, how can losers be rewarded anyway, a bit like losers in the CL rounds get dumped into the UEFA cup - it just cheapens & devalues the UEFA Cup.

20/1 for Boro to win the cup. If they squeezed past Man Utd, they'd be dead certs to beat Watford, then it's just the final.

I think 20/1 are fantastic odds.

UEFA themselves devalued the UEFA Cup years ago and have made it Europe's version of the Carling Cup. If Boro under Steve McClaren can make the final it has to be a joke!!
There are about 4 good teams in the whole competiton each year, and that's being generous.

Anyway technically its the winners of the FA Cup who get into the UEFA Cup, it just usually happens that the winners have already qualified for Europe so the losers get in by default!!

Admittedly I felt very dirty as I wanted the Chavs to win vs Spurs. The only team really capable to beating the Scum would be the Chavs. Fecking sad realisation

Blackburn v Chelsea or Tottenham

Watford v Scum or Middlesbrough

........ I would love to see Blackburn make their way out on to the hallowed Wembley turf in May, even if they didn t win it - it would be great to think of one L.Neil sitting in his kitchen counting his money, and calling himself a money grabbing, no respecting son of a c***, and wishing he was still at Ewood Park .

And if he missed out on a FA Cup Winners medal ......... well FUKIN played son - COCK !

[darkknight]

....... and another thing, he can give up calling himself a Liverpool fan too - we don t fukin behave like that you nonce !

FA Cup was the dullest ever if we were still in the competition.

Of course I ****ing wouldn't!

But, regardless of whether we're in it or not, the fact remains it's been a poor FA Cup (rescued to a small extent by the Chelsea-Spurs game last week). As has been said already, there's been hardly any (if any) shocks, very few big games and even fewer great games.
