FA Cup
 FA Cup ... Cup.Newest Review: ... say the least. The canny Coppell pulled a similar trick last year when he also announced that he would be resting players in the FA Cup, but earning a well planned out draw at old Trafford. You have to just edge it Spurs way (15-1) though with the improvements under Ramos. Rather quirkily, Reading have been 13th in the Premiership for 8 weeks. This WILL be a great game for fantasy footballers ... more ... if they pick Keane and Berbatov-If the Bulgarian plays, cup-tied issues in the equation. I wouldn't want him in my team and I suspect neither will Sir Alex or Wenger, although he is the perfect Arsenal player.

Although 17 of the last twenty FA cup winners have been the current big four premiership clubs there's still a little bit of magic left in the old lady to keep footy fans enthralled. For example, this year's prestigious third round sees the lowest ranked club ever to participate at this stage with the mighty minnows of Chase Town welcoming the hooligans of Cardiff City to their tiny home ground. Chase did very well last year matching this season's feat and could easily nick this game. If they can and get a huge match away then TV money can change a lower league clubs destiny, Exeter City an example of when they held Man United to a 0-0 at old Trafford to earn a televised ...

For me the FA Cup reached a new low this week, I'm not referring to the dire game last night between Chelsea and Newcastle which helped cure my insomnia but the fact thatfour quarter final games were played over four nights of the week meaning that two teams found themsleves playing only 48 hours after they were playing in the premiership. There was a ray of hope for the competition though in the fact that both managers chose to field weakened sides on the Saturday showing that at least for them the competition was still very important. When those teams got beat they were attacked in some quarters for their actions however for me it is the FA who should be ...

Its that time of year again! Its the F.A. Cup Third Round! The draw was made only days ago and we have one really magical tie. Yeovil Town play host to Liverpool at Huish Park in the first game of the new year. This is what the best cup competition in the world is about. Thats a big statement to make, but this site is about speaking your mind and I believe that the F.A. Cup is the number one competition worldwide. For instance, if Yeovil would have lost to Barnet in the Second Round they would find themselves coming to play my beloved team, Northampton, instead of playing in that dream tie. We were not so lucky, having drawn Rotherham in the Third Round, but ...
