Official FA Cup Thread

[Pesci]

I hadn't heard anything about this either until today so I just did a Google search to see who was right and it appears they can't qualify because they're a member of the Welsh FA, as Sam said earlier.

I'm torn here, really.

West Brom knocked us out, so I want them to win because losing to the champions is always better than losing to the team that then lost to someone else.

Barnsley knocked out Liverpool AND Chelsea, so you can't really help rooting for them.

Cardiff have the whole Celtic brotherhood thing going on (Truro City aren't getting to the FA Cup semi finals any time soon ¬_¬). Yeah, I might be the only non-Welsh Brit that likes the Welsh. Sue me (I don't quite go as far as supporting Wales in International sporting events (except rugby, but even then not when they're against England. But that's probably only because England are captained by a Cornishman ).

So... anyone but Pompey.

It's not so much me wanting Portsmouth to win, I just want Harry Redknapp to win something atleast once in his career. Instead of just being one of those managers who just builds teams up from nothing and establishes them as mid-table also-rans teams like Allardyce & Curbishley.

So, kickoff in an hour. Who's everyone supporting?

I'm torn betweeen my love of Harry Redknapp and my love of lower league teams winning. Can't lose, really.

[IAceI]

Pompey all the way.

I often route for the underdogs but Cardiff don't really do anything for me.

That's me.

I just hope for a good game.

[The Future]

Going for Portsmouth as well, Harry Redknapp deserves a trophy for everything he's done in his career.

[King Ellis]

As a Leeds fan i'm not too fond of either team after some notable defeats. Even though there is a few old boys at Cardiff (though one not being in the squad at all today) i'll probably favour Pompey today.

[GA!]

I'll probably support Porstmouth as Harry Redknapp deserves some silverware. I just hope for a good game though.

[brenchill]

I want Pompey to win just for Harry Redknapp really. As for Cardiff, well, they're welsh.

[Summers]

Fuck Pompy.

Dislike them a lot.

So go Cardiff.

[GA!]

Microphone malfunction! It's all going wrong!

Come on cameraman, just focus on Katherine Jenkins.

[IAceI]

haha, one of the mascots gave the camera a cheeky wink. Go on lass.

[King Ellis]

I can think of two reasons as to why he'd focus on Lesley Garret.

[IAceI]

One of the mascots is bigger than Diarra it seems. I'm waiting for the day a 35 year old leads the team out onto the pitch, clasping onto the captains hand.

Katherine Jenkins has two better ones >_>

[METALMAN]

I love Harry Redknapp because I got my picture taken with him when I was about 12 so I'm cheering for Portsmouth. Cardiff also get a bit of affection thanks to Robbie Fowler and being Welsh.

Edit: That Kathy Jenkins is a pretty lady.

Further Edit: I'm missing Kilmarnock's last game of the season today. Hopefully this will be able to make up for it.

Pompey for me.

Sir Bobby looked very frail. Barwick had to help him stay on the move.

[TheRossWalker]

Enckelman was nearly in the shit there.
