The FA Cup.

Mickey Mouse cup anyway.

I remember Houllier getting panned by most after Man. City (I hated that decision aswell) but considering the opposition today this is much worse for me.

And I Wanted Houllier gone after that game....hmmmm....

You're either very young or very sad. It is the greatest cup competition in the world, and  despite all of Sky sports lickspittle adulation of all things Champions League, always will be.

He's neither. Even though he's upset me with an earlier post he's joking here. Yes, the FA cup is the number one.

Fair enough. It is so very sad though when fans belittle the FA Cup, and so many younger fans do. I remember when the Final was the showcase for every season. Twenty years ago today's game would probably have attracted  nearer 40,000. When romance and dreams of winning THE cup die, I think a little of what I love most in the game will die with it. God I hate Sky and all that Champions League crap.

Then again maybe we old farts just look at it through rose tinted glasses? I just checked and from 80/81-91/92 we had 12 home games in the FA Cup. Two were over 40K (Wolves and Liverpool). Five were between 12K and 22K. Maybe the cup has been slowly dying longer than we thought?

I'd just like us to chalk up an 8th then they can bury it.

Win an FA Cup and I'll die a happy man.

I'm 43 next month. Will I ever see us win the bastard thing? Our record since 1957 is an absolute joke for a club of our size and top flight status.

If we regularly tasted Champion's League football ourselves once r twice in the past 15 years I am sure we would feel a lot more sanguine about it all.

When I see clubs like Everton and Spurs successfully ride the wave that is modern football I know that we could have too with better leadership.

I'm certainly not guilty of the first charge though the second is open to debate.

It was meant in jest, like a scorned lover saying "she was crap in bed anyway".

Sorry if I caused upset with that earlier post, it wasn't a barb in anyway.
