Damo No 2 Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 Some absolutely fantastic cup shocks today, notably Blackburn and Bolton being scalped. I checked out a few of the premiership teams line ups and most changed from previous top flight games. Granted we have just come out of a busy christmas period, but I was wondering what views people had on this rotation and apparant disregard for the F A Cup in favour of the money on offer for gaining a European slot for the mid - table Prem teams. I personally think that the F A Cup is fantastic and I really go for the underdogs in cup ties and I'm pretty sure most fans of Blackburn, Everton, Birmingham and Bolton would much rather win the F A Cup than the UEFA Cup wouldn't they?

Anita Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 I think fans of Blackburn, Everton, Bolton or Birmingham would be happy with any cup :drink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anita Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 Bushy, I wasn't being arrogrant, just saying i don't think any of the fans of those teams would mind winning any cup be it the UEFA or FA cup. I know i'd be happy if we won anything this season. :drink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Sport Lover Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 Is there anyway we (QPR) can claim a shock win to Chelsea as we lost 1-0 but we scored an own goal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A One And A Six Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 Hey bushy, have u watched any football this season? Man U wont win the league if they lost Rooney, Rio or Ronaldo. Same with Chelsea with Terry, Lampard and Cech. Liverpool too with Torres, Gerrard and Carragher. You could say the same about any club but at least we know what Arsenals second string can do as we've seen them blitz through the league cup (as well as featuring in other comps) up untill now. Seems a little ill-founded and naieve to write the gunners off just yet. AC Milan are probably favourites to win Champions League again but hopefully one of the English clubs can do it again. :c: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cockerkneeboy Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 Im not sure he was much of a player, His recored is as below. Wenger's playing career was relatively inauspicious. He began as a defender for various amateur clubs while studying at the Institut Européen d'Etudes Commerciales Supérieures de Strasbourg of Robert Schuman University, where he completed a masters degree in 1971. Wenger turned professional in 1978, making his debut for RC Strasbourg against Monaco. He only made twelve appearances for the team, including two as they won the Ligue 1 title in 1978-79, and played once in the UEFA Cup in the same season. Not exactly a long career was it, Mind you the blokes a genius as a Manager. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
