Not good for the sponsors that the Man of the Match award in this cup twice in a few years now is Foster's.

 

I bet they don't really give a s*** who the MoTM is tbh.

 

Might have missed what I was getting at there mind.

Since Jimmy Scoular lifted the FA Cup in 1955, no fewer than THIRTY-ONE English clubs have enjoyed major domestic cup success ahead of us, including such footballing backwaters as: Coventry, Southampton, Norwich, Ipswich, Luton, Oxford, Swindon, Stoke, Wolves, Leicester, Birmingham, Blackburn, 'Boro, Wimbledon, QPR, Portsmouth and of course the mackems.

 

You could also add Burnley and Derby - who have won the League title since our 1927 triumph - to the following list of domestic cup winners since 1955:

 

14 Liverpool (7LC, 7FA)

13 Man Utd (4LC, 9FA)

10 Chelsea (4LC, 6FA)

10 Tottenham (4LC, 6FA)

9 Arsenal (2LC, 7FA)

6 Aston Villa (5LC, 1FA)

5 Nottm For (4LC, 1FA)

4 Man City (2LC, 2FA)

3 Leicester (3LC)

3 Wolves (2LC, 1FA)

3 West Ham (3FA)

3 Everton (3FA)

2 Birmingham (2LC)

2 Norwich (2LC)

2 WBA (1LC, 1FA)

2 Leeds (1LC, 1FA)

1 QPR (1LC)

1 Swindon (1LC)

1 Stoke (1LC)

1 Oxford (1LC)

1 Luton (1LC)

1 Sheff Wed (1LC)

1 Blackburn (1LC)

1 Middlesbrough (1LC)

1 Bolton (1FA)

1 mackems (1FA)

1 Southampton (1FA)

1 Ipswich (1FA)

1 Coventry (1FA)

1 Wimbledon (1FA)

1 Portsmouth (1FA)

 

There are just three other current Premiership sides not to have lifted the League Cup or FA Cup since our last success; Blackpool, Wigan and Fulham.

 

Of course us Geordies with our "unrealistic expectations" have the audacity to think that we should feature somewhere in the above list....

How many of that list have played in the Champions League? Just out of interest like?

 

Are Leicester a bigger and better club than us because they've won 3 League Cups? It's horse shit.

 

eh ??? It's just a list.

 

6 in the CL. more than 6 in the European Cup.

Three (AFC as follow on Wimbledon) of the clubs are now in the conference FFS. If you didn't laugh you'd cry.

Mancini's picked up English very quickly. Makes a complete mockery of Capello and his ramblings.

 

Capello can speak English perfectly well IMO, he just hides behind it when things aren't going well. No evidence to support this, just what I think.

 

Plus Mancini knew a bit of english before he came here.

It means nothing. That was my point.

 

There's some great clubs on there and some awful ones too. Our lack of silverware isn't nice but seeing us play Champions League stuff was good. Swings and roundabouts.

Arsenal were on target for a quad, however likely or unlikely.  Are they now most likely to end up with nothing at season's end?  Is the FA Cup their only realistic hope?

Man Utd in the next round and i think most people are aware of our record against them...

 

Edit: 5/6 on Sky bet to not win anything this season, make yourselves some money lads.

If you don't allow this to affect yourselves too much, I think you have a good chance of winning the PL to be frank. Better run-in than ManU. But even if you beat us I think there are still too many big sides in the CL for you to win it. Reckon the likes of Real Madrid and ManU would do you on a two legged affair or the final.

Agree entirely, Mourinho would employ similar tactics to those he hates so much and Man U would get a lucky break where Rooney and or Park would score past us, too predictable. I hope to god Chelsea win tomorrow!
