biggs Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 Great shot in the arm for the FA cup this weekend imho ,teams who most years who go out just to make up the numbers are kicking premiership ass and all the lower clubs fans now have a dream that this will be there year and best of look to them .Even if Pompey win the cup it will be great for football as the so called untouchables know they have to fight for everything .Millionaire footballers how much do they hurt after a defeat with wembley a kick away .No its the fans that hurt who have to live with the jibes from workmates,pals and read the tabloids the next day .THANKS TO THE TEAMS AND MANAGERS WHO ARE LIVING THE DREAM WE SALUTE YOU.

mrmojorisin75 Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 agreed, best fa cup since we were last anywhere near winning it...my hope is a cardiff-barnsley final, that'd be fucken mental!!!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 At the same time though, it just sums this club's luck that 4 clubs who've went just as long if not longer than us, 3 of which are worse than us now, might end their trophy jinx.

Yes was memorable weekend for the FA Cup. Would like Barnsley to win it, think they deserve too. Would hate for Portsmouth to win it, and have Arry twitching like someone who's got a double dose of tourettes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Phil K Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 What made me laugh this morning listening to 5live was pompous Man U fans and genuine Chelsea and Arsenal fans contributions to the discussion. The Chelski and Arsey fans were full of praise for the "lesser" teams and their fans while the Man U w@nkers lived up to type. (The worst example was astonishingly from Manchester !!)

Guest optimistic nit Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 west brom could give pompey a real game imo, as could barnsley come to that. pompey have been far from on form in the cup, against plymouth and preston good examples. they may pull their finger out now, but if they draw either west brom or barnsley, i think west broms talent or barnsley's momentum could cause real problems for them, but i think they'd probably see cardiff off. barnsley vs cardiff and pompey vs brom please.

madras Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 in a way i'd like cardiff to win it. there'd be a certain irony in it for us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scoreboard82 Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 Particularly funny to see the smogs humiliated. Both team and fans were a disgrace to their club. Poor performance on the field and off it. Crowd booing throughout. Oh how i hate them and their "cheer up Kevin Keegan" s**t. Back on topic however, it's refreshing to see some under-dogs in the semis/final. Beyond the wildest dreams of most of their fans no doubt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 Barnsley vs Cardiff Portsmouth vs West Brom Typical of Portsmouth to get the difficult semi, means Wigan have a good chance of 3 points against them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 whats the best odds on Barnsley at the minute? I'm having a tenner on them and out of the 4, want them to win it. For beating both Liverpool and Chelsea they deserve it, and theres a Barnsley nut on my course. So jealous of Pompey though. 5 years ago they were playing in what was division 1. Now they're beating us, having higher prem finishes than us, and in with a shout of winning the FA Cup. Newcastle meanwhile, continue to be mediocre, blowing their slim hopes of winning a cup (Lisbon, drawing either Arsenal or Chelsea) and now find themselves in a relegation dogfight.

Ashley17 Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 Is there only me that finds it ridiculous that Cardiff won't go into the UEFA cup if they win the FA cup because of which FA they represent? It basically means if they were to come up they have nothing to build towards many years down the line if they can't qualify for Europe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest nufc_geordie Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 I think more than anything what the FA Cup has highlighted this year is that the top flight players (a) have it too easy and (b) are in the majority motivated by money. It's been coming for a while now and this year has been brilliant. The likes of Barnsley grafted and fought whilst others like Liverpool, Chelsea, Boro couldn't perform when it mattered. They were essentially outworked by more motivated players, not neccessarily better players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

S.S.R. Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 It might sound like a stupid question, but who isn't envious of Portsmouth's position in the semis? I'm glad it's not us; I don't think I could bear the tension. Just imagine all that stood in our way was West Brom and Cardiff/Barnsley to a cup. I don't think I could take it if we blew it.

bulivye Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 was very happy for Barnsley--carvarshole deserved to see red for that nasty tackle at the end and what spotsmanship by john terry eh? with that very classy block in his own area. wankers!

NE5 Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 Great stuff. I can still hear the laughter at keegans press conference by the manure supporting cockneys when he said the clubs outside the "big 4" could win the domestic cups. Awesome in fact.

That's crazy. a mate of mine is a Taff and a Cardiff supporter, obviously. Rather than a manure fan ....... They have not played in the Welsh Cup for years, so there is no grounds whatsoever for denying them entry into the UEFA Cup if they win the FA Cup.
