They probably have each others Facebook.

I see Jose still wants to make headlines in England won't be long until he's back I feel.

He specifically mentioned that in the past five years Arsenal have won only an FA Cup title, and that is very little if not insignificant. Also, he rightfully mentioned that the story of the kids is getting old. Every time I have to argue with an Arsenal fan, they claim how it's better investing for the future than relying on old has been's. The truth is, Arsenal have been close to a failure in the past five years, and Wenger shares the majority of the blame. That's what Mourinho was trying to say, and there's where I agree with him.

Ask any PL fan wether the FA Cup is a big trophy or not, and 99 out of 100 will say yes. You can't compare it with the Coppa Italia, the Copa del Rey etc.

But you can't neither compare it to the Premier League or the Champions League. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

It's not that far behind the PL, obviously a league title trumps a cup every time, but this one is as close as it gets.

EDIT: Ask kurt if you don't believe me.

I'd take the League over any other trophy, simply because it's earned properly.

There's no way to determine how big something is, but the FA Cup is personally my favourite. I enjoy it more than any other Cup competition, WC/Euros included. It's about the only true Cup competition there is, none of this 2 leg, seeded ****. It's certainly highly regarded by clubs here.

EDIT: On the theme of Cups, the sha-Villa game on Wednesday looks like it'll probably be called off due to heavy snow and their trampy stadium can't cope.

I guess Mourinho should have been focussed on other things (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Great weekend for the PL, I thought it was going down hill a few years ago but now the entertainment value has picked up dramatically in recent seasons. Good to see a number of in-form teams, especially Spurs in the CL.

Fabio/Rafael what are you doing in the Premiership? You're not professional footballers, get out of here.

Even though it's only carling cup, but still: West Ham 4 - United 0 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Fairly strong United side too, very shocking.

To be fair only about 2/3 of those at max get into an injury free first-team on a regular basis, it wasn't exactly strong against West Ham's first-team. I imagine Fergie was saving the players for this month with the Chelsea Arsenal games, though 4-0 is still some result for the Hammers. This will probably end Arsenal's run of zero trophies for a while anyway.

With Fabio & Rafael making an appearance anyone would have a field day against United & as for Johnny Evans, was he drunk or something tonight? It was the worst defensive performance I've seen in years from any team, let alone Man U.

I thought Smalling was worse personally, looks like Fergie got that signing very wrong, didn't he pay £12m or something? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

Evans was in the wrong practically on every goal and the twins just let crosses come in, get turned inside out, can't pass just run around aimlessly, shows how poor United's squad is at the moment when these 2 clowns get in, they make Titus look like a superstar.

I was a bit surprised of that signing, Smalling never really seemed to do anything, Hangeland would have been a better signing. I thought he was still like 18, but he's actually 21 not that young really, I don't know Fergie has perhaps spotted something in him that no other can. Either that or he's gone down the route of Veron, Kleberson & Djemba-Djemba again.

Can we filter this name please.
