FA Cup!

[bluseychris]

Barnsley and Portsmouth! Man United and Chelsea have been knocked out in an absolute giant killing weekend. Personally thought that Barnsley were pretty tight formation wise, showed some real quality play. Portsmouth held their own well, though that red card was all that stopped the game going on after 90 minutes.

The draw for the SF has been pretty good too.

Barnsley and Cardiff (who beat Middlesboro) will play each other, and it'll be quite a fair match, as only two places seperate them.

And Portsmouth will play West Brom, and again it's quite a fair tie as WBA are third in the Championship and have Kevin Philips as 'The Player of the Championship'.

All in all (aside from United getting beat, but Barnsley beating Chelsea made up for it) a cracking FA Cup.

Barnsley should fair well against WBA, we're looking to beat Portsmouth on Tuesday, Newcastle the week after. Shame we're not in it anymore.

That said I'm pretty happy ManU have gone out. Shows they can be beaten, to not score against Portsmouth for what ManU are supposed to be worth. Actually I've noticed this with the big four. We beat Tottenham 4-1 and drew against Arsenal with 10 men. The fact they had to obstruct two of our players (given as fouls) for us to get goals shows they were in a panic. Full squad we could of thrashed them.

You'll have no trouble beating the 'Toon.

We drew 1-1 against them last time, threw it away. That said we didn't actually have any strikers at that point.
