FA Cup

[Herro You]

Another game, another goal conceded from a cross/set piece for Chelsea: 1-1 with Ipswich @ HT.

Doncaster have a chance of upsetting Villa: 0-0 at HT.

Swansea is beating Portsmouth 2-0 at HT!

87th min - Doncaster inches away from winning the game from a free kick.

I'v lost all interest in the FA Cup. I think you gotta be English to appreciate it.

 

[Herro You]

What is there to appreciate - its football, which instantly makes it appreciable.

I find it unbelievable that year after year Chelsea get the easiest draws in any competition until they reach the last 8 or 4 stage.

It must be a conspiracy, and Benitez and Wenger should talk about it in the media.

 

[davidb]

As do United.

Must be the Jews. (Since United & Chelsea have Jewish owners)

 

[Herro You]

Hey we're finding it harder against lower league opposition these days, i'd prefer an EPL team
