| "...As a Liverpool supporter I'm hoping Everton win . I'm sick of Chelsea, especially Drogba pretending to be tripped in the penalty area. He should take up diving!!. I'm hoping for a 4-1 drubbing. Chelsea to score first to get the game going, then Everton booting 4....." Lifelong Everton supporter here. I'll take that scenario, thank you very much. |

| everton 2 chelsea 1 cahill scoring the winner, would be my perfect scenario! |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| lol! Benitez would be well within his rights to show a lack of respect to 'Long Ball Sam'. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Spot on. What makes it even worse is that the week before he was all over the media criticising Benitez for showing a lack of respect to the Blackburn team and manager, Sam Allerdyce. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| fergie took the pi$$,out of the f.a cup, everton f.c and even his own supporters with that line up! |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Even Everton's manager complained about the pitch and they won. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| pretty good reserve team that ended up losing in penalties. why else would he have fielded a reserve team ... risk losing a key player due to injury when they still have bigger fish to fry? |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| kingerik22... the blaming of the pitch was clearly a distraction created by Sir Alex incase anyone wondered why he fielded a virtual United reserves team.... funny how A.r.senal's Wenger who lost to Chelsea also whinged about the pitch... LOL |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| the amateur status which Liverpool, A.r.senal and Man United have given the FA Cup has really turned me off the whole competition.... it was clever of Moyes ahead of this match to play mind games about the referee which was why Riley denied United that penalty... after the Mourinho and Frisk incident, don't understand why UEFA and the FA don't clamp down harder on pressuring and influencing referees... as for Everton v Chelsea final... I doubt I'll take much interest in this game but let's hope our Aussie boy Timmy Cahill does his old mate Hiddink in with a 89th minute header for a 1-0 victory.... |

| Meanwhile, in a revelation which is sure to embarrass the Football Association, Ferguson insisted he pulled Paul Scholes, Berbatov and Patrice Evra out of the starting line-up and fielded a team packed with youngsters and reserves because of the dreadful state of the Wembley pitch. He said: "When I saw the pitch yesterday (in the Chelsea v *** nal semi) what I didn't want was to go into extra-time with my strongest squad. "Yesterday it looked spongy and dead and difficult to move the ball quickly around it. They've got all these lights around the perimeter to help the growth and the standard of the soil. But it looks dead to me. "So we had to go with the bold decision of playing the younger ones. After all our club is built on giving young players opportunities and they didn't disappoint. "Once we made our mind up I was quite enthusiastic about it. It was the right thing to do. It was good for them." Ferguson now has to pick up his team for a crucial league match against Portsmouth in midweek when Darren Fletcher will be available after injury and when the big guns will return, including Wayne Rooney. |

| "I've seen the video and it looks a penalty kick but in the importance of the game the referee probably has to be dead sure. "Why would he (Welbeck) go down when he had the goalkeeper stranded out of his goal? It was a major decision and unfortunately it has gone against us. Nothing you can do about it. We have to move on now. "When he (Riley) sees it he'll probably realise he's made a mistake but I can't say that's the reason for us losing." The incident saw a furious Ferguson storm on to the pitch, arms waving wildly as he ranted at Riley. It also brought an honest appraisal from Moyes who admitted: "I thought it looked a penalty kick. If I had been the manager I would have been calling for a penalty kick." btw rbrown Moyes is the Everton Manager but I wil lwait for you to debunk his comments |

| gee if Fergie had half the excuses u come out with then he could write a book | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| yes our fellow merseyside brothers do it for the town,glad to see am tired of mr fergusons excuses though | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| As a staunch Man U fan I was not disappointed to see them go down in the F.A cup to Everton. Glad to see Cahill flying the Aussie flag in the final. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| sucked in to man u. hopefully everton will win the fa cup now to show all the other teams not in the "big 4" can mix it. Hopefully timmy cahill can score the winner in the final | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| oh well the dream of winning 5 has gone, 4 is still quite possible and this will only make them more hungrier! Well done to Everton and Cahill, hope they can pull one out the bag and beat chelski |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| poor united,i felt for sir alex when they got denied a penalty,he is biased though it wasnt a penalty | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| The 2009 edition is in full swing | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| uurrghh... Cardiff v Portsmouth.... I wonder if any neutral supporters will watch this game at all?? Yeah, I do know that the 'big four' had no one but themselves to blame although by resting their players and fielding weakened squads you wonder how valuable the FA Cup has become???? |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| but hey, if cardiff win the cup, I will eat my hat! | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| No such problem in the case of Cardiff. Even though Cardiff is actually in Wales, they joind the Football League before the Welsh FA was founded. This also applies to Swansea and Wrexham. If Cardiff were to win the FA Cup, they would qualify as the representative of the FA in Europe. Maybe slightly complicated situation, but with a fairly certain outcome in the end... |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| The Welsh FA have their own version of the FA Cup and the winner of it enters the UEFA Cup. I read today that UEFA are considering bending the rules if Cardiff win the final. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| some talk about if Cardiff win the FA they may not play in Europe cos Wales isn't aligned with the FA. bit disappointing if they don't get the opportunity! |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Who is going to win this great club competion?Will it be Portsmouth or Cardiff City?I would love the underdog to win it,But I think Portsmouth will win 2-0. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
