Thread: The problem with Sunday is that, points wise, a draw is unhelpful to our top 4 chance

    If Chelsea can just sneak a win at Goodison it will relax by sphincter no end.

This may well of course be the same in the other major European leagues, of this I am not as aware.

    The PL or importance thereof shíts all over the FA Cup every day of the week, then comes back and shíts on it again just for pure badness.

    I was reminded this morning by a colleague that United won it last year, I may have struggled otherwise. I could not tell you who won it the season before we slayed Hull.

    Once it was huge, I can recall with much nostalgia finals from the 70s and 80s more than the equivalent 12 months ago.

    It's a very good point. I can remember pretty much every Cup Final winner from 1970-1993 and in most cases who they beat, but after that it gets very hazy indeed.

    And, of course, that basically coincides with the rise of the Premier League.

    We are an FA Cup club though. One might even say the *ultimate* FA Cup club.

    There's nothing wrong with it, everyone's different.

    Anyway, it was Wigan Athletic, I think

    We are going to beat them. they are getting too big for their boots.

    I don't care where we finish in the league now. putting a big dent in Spurs Title challenge (by beating them) and winning the Fa cup will do.

    Only one side can win the league, which makes existance pointless for almost all the others, unless there is something else to play for.

    I remember the discussions back in the austerity years when AW put out weakened teams because he was desperate for the top four monies to keep the lights on (allegedly). There was much criticism of not trying to win a trophy, possibly from some of the same people who now decry the FA Cup as not-a-trophy.
