As much as I hate saying it, you have to admire the way Tottenham are just so up for every game they play.  Poccechino is an outstanding coach.  They must surely win the league at some point.

So far the most uncompetitive FA cup quarter finals I can remember.

All that talk about the Cup dying has come to pass with the semi final line up.
It's just bore off versus bore off with no interest unless you have a moneytary interest.

Obviously being only 19 I can't remember that era.

With the  semi final line up as  is most of their fans don't give a **** about it anyway.

The MLS game in Sky is being played in a brilliant snow storm. 3-1 after half an hour.

Ah well then, if you have ever listened to the Radio program "Lake Woebegone", that would be par for the course up there.

It sort of goes against some of my beliefs, but thanks to an over officious Celtic supporting Glaswegian ex copper neighbour of mine, any old firm games, I'm chuffed when he's pissed off by a result.

It's just bore off versus bore off with no interest unless you have a moneytary interest.

These days there is no possible result without someone complaining that it's a sign of the death of something or other.

Last year a semi-final of Watford vs Crystal Palace meant that it was all pointless because it showed the bigger teams didn't care. Two years earlier (I've skipped our year, as we're probably quite partisan in our feelings of how prestigious a year with us involved might be), Arsenal, Wigan, Hull and Sheffield Utd were the proof that the FA Cup was now irrelevant.

Now that Spurs, Man City, Arsenal and one of Man Utd and Chelsea are the last four, it's again proof that everything is bad.

There's no scenario that won't result in somebody complaining about it. But I'd certainly argue that the year that two non-league teams get to the last 16 and one gets to the last 8 isn't the year to claim the FA Cup is just for the wealthy and that everyone but the top few might as well go home.
