F.A Cup Thread

At work we were rooting for Boblon too.

Loving the WE reference there

2-0 to the mancs

You're my new best friend!

I think a lot of neutrals will be supporting them. Play good football, good up and coming manager, and it'd make a nice change from the usual suspects who win it nearly every single year in recent times.

Yeah, the only thing is, if Owen does too well, along with some of our players, I can see him leaving.

Can't see Lee Chung-Yong & Cahill staying too long if they keep performing the was they have been.

[TonyDA]

Yep, count me in as a 'Bolton for the Cup' supporter as well!

Amazed Utd are winning with a team full of defenders! A poor fortnight for the Gunners - out of three competitions, and a few key injuries to boot.

On the "who do you want to manage Spurs if Harry gets the England job / ends up in prison" threads that pop up on Spurs forums, Owen Coyle gets a lot of mentions.

Hmm, the last non-big four manager to win the FA Cup ended up as Spurs manager soon after...

I shouldn't joke though or Stoke will win it and then we'll get Pulis!!

Yeah. He might get poached mid season. And the club he got poached from, which was doing well, will get relegated.

You just stick with mag boss......

[prinnysquad]

We have to! <contract extension>

I have a feeling you're going to 'die by the sword', re, Coyle. Mid-season poaching = GET!

[MonkeyJuggleDX]

At least let me enjoy it while it lasts. It's been a few years since I've been able to say I'm proud to support Bolton!

The dirty git that is Scholes escapes another red card. Bet Fergie won't be ranting about that.

Poor from Arsenal. Chelsea and Man U have played like that almost everytime they've played for the last 3+ years and Wenger doesn't change a thing. All 'beautiful' passes around the edge of the box that end in nothing because a good defence will keep their shape and then they're left vulnerable on the counter.

Could Arsenal's season collapse in 2 weeks yet again?

Yeah, ok. I guess it's a long way away from Team Longball and Meggo's cloggers. Hmph. Still can't believe you beat Brum, even though the real SuperKev gave you a going over.

Watching us play utd is like watching UK Gold, you know you e seeit before and how it ends.

We are stuck in a very comfy loop now with a legend of a manager (from his many glory years and achievements) with a squad of ?50k plus per week players who sit relatively comfortably in the top 4, get thru to the ko stages of the CL and are under no pressure to win anything.

We are a very high end Charlton, should we be happy with our lot and stick or shake it up and risk ruining the whole thing ? Tough call.

[Flabio]

Taken a while to get going this semi, but we have a *proper* game on now.

Very unusual mistake from Carrick to give that one away as well...

[ShadowDancer]

Get in.

[MonkeyJuggleDX]

Dirty bastard!
