Wullie Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 The only problem with the magic of the FA Cup is all the 'magic of the FA Cup' bollocks, it does my head in. That's not to say I dislike giant-killings. Usually it is, the magic of a club getting to the 4th round only to get twatted is not a lot of magic, but this year has been astonishing. Never thought I'd see an FA Cup like this, the way things have been going in football. No team outside the top 4 has won it since 1995, that's how boring it's become. This year has blown that to pieces. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not to say I dislike giant-killings. I love the way they're going on endlessly about the magic of the FA Cup being proved this year, when we've had nigh on 20 years of uninterrupted, soul crushing predictability.

West Ham where what 2 minutes away from winning it? That final was magical in itself.

Guest marky555 Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 Mark Bright is a cock like, most pointless comments ever. One thing that has really surprised me about the coverage of this game is the fact Ian Holloway is one of the pundits. His side are having a fucking nightmare down at the wrong end of the table, very possible they could be relegated, fair enough they got a decent result at home to Bristol City yesterday, but I think its wrong on so many levels that he's at that game when his team have a MASSIVE game against fellow strugglers Southampton on Tuesday and he's doin a bit of work for the BBC. He should be focused and concentrating on that rather than watch his beloved Bristol Rovers, fair enough he might have had them in this morning but still, think its incredibly wrong. Although Leicester are playing West Brom on Saturday I still think he should be looking at the next game in hand as the West Brom is a no hoper really. Similar situation yesterday, Wolves had the weekend off and Mick Mcarthy was doing his bit for the BBC when his team are playing away at Preston on Tuesday, surely he should have been watching them play at Charlton yesterday? Alan Irvine - Preston manager, his team get a crucial away win at Charlton yesterday, and what does he do? Gets them in training at 9am this morning ahead of their big game against Wolves on Tuesday, now thats what Mick and Ian Holloway should be doing not sitting all smiley faced in a fucking BBC gantry. If we had a 6 pointer on Tuesday night and Keegan was working for the media, I know that I for one would be absolutely disgusted. Anyone agree?

1878 Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 Irvine is doing a good job for PNE so far (although it's very early days). Maybe he'll come back to Everton as no.1 some day. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 'big 4' only came into existence with Abramovich, Chelsea were a big side but not consistent top 4 finishers when they won it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wullie Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 I thought Chelsea probably were in the top four when they won it, they actually finished fifth and sixth in those seasons. Point still stands pretty much. Howay Barnsley! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
