Wow, 1 Premiership team left. Who would have thought?
I can't see Portsmouth winning either. Barnsley have to be the top dogs imo, after beaing Chelsea and Liverpool. This is probably the most exciting FA Cup i've ever experienced.
Is the West Brom game not on live?

This turn of events is great for football. Is the last time a non top flight team won the FA Cup in 1980 when D2 West Ham beat Arsenal? Can someone confirm?

Is anyone else really annoyed by the lines on the field in the Wigan-Arsenal game? I can't believe any top flight game would be played with confliciting lines on it! hmmm...

I am going to love seeing Barnsley in the UEFA Cup.
And Spurs dismantled West Ham today, woohoo!

Seisco -
It was hard to see the lines on the field as my eyes are bleeding from this wretched football. Wigan always is rough, but the Arse have no rhythm today. I blame it on Gallas and his miserable mohawk, which looks like a drowned rat splayed on a bowling ball.

ive been really impressed with eli allen of the galaxy, he displays the effort that we need for the american game, and hes got some good skills, i think we should keep an eye on him, he could become a really good player.

Did you notice Blackburn's stadium was about half full yesterday. Can it be true, the English Premiership is not the dream world that some image it to be.

Did anyone see the West Hamm game? Spector played the whole game in defense. Of course they lost 4 zip - how did he do?

Anyone watch the La Liga games?

I thought the FA Cup upsets were magic and especially at a time when clubs like Manchester United were serious about winning the competition, it reminded them that no matter how good you are, you don't just walk in and win it, you've got to earn it.
