It used to be good to watch but honestly over the past decade the whole competition seems like it has really gone downhill.

I love the FA Cup. I'd also often rather watch the FA Cup Final over the Champions League Final.
I think the League Cup has massively improved recently as well, the big clubs often put out fairly strong sides. Testament to the lower leagues as well that Arsenal and Villa with their best side out got knocked out by a League 2 side. |

Good to see my old mate Harry Redknapp back at Villa having abuse thrown at him. Even better to see his twitching, ugly, half melted face F off back down south with 0 points.
Hugely enjoyable! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |

Michael Owen to retire from football.
Was out of this World for Liverpool, but made a mistake leaving and never quite got back to the heights of his early career. A real born finisher. One footed with very limited technical ability. But get him anywhere near the goal on that right foot and it was in the net. |

Just imagine him and Stevie G with Liverpool, it could have been out of this world. I remember he used to be one of my favorite strikers in the world cup. A fox in the box. |

Agreed. the year they finished 2nd with Benitez... a player like Owen up front and they'd have won the league I think. |

£60m of public funding to give West Ham a new football stadium... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

I think it'd be more stupid to make the public keep paying for the upkeep though. Having a football team take it was the only option, just stupid they hadn't given it West Ham a while back. Not sure what all that Spurs nonesense was about. It can be converted fairly quickly between football and athletics so it's still going to be used for that, now we've just got some footy team dumb enough to pay for the running costs. Thank God for Sullivan, Gold and Brady
On the subject of stupidity though. Why take 1p of beer? The public won't notice it, but the government will. There's no real benefit to it. Just charge absurd prices, people will still pay because this country is alcoholic. This post has been edited by kurtsimonw: Mar 22 2013, 03:41 PM |

But the Olympic Stadium has been idle since, with no willing party to activate ity via lease or other means ... At least this way, it will go to some use. By the way, what's the latest on Chelsea acquiring new football stadium? |

Pretty much every previous Olympic stadium currently has a football team playing in it, because it's the only real way of keeping it going. People complain about how much it costs to build these things - I don't think it's fair for the London tax payer to have to keep it going as well. West Ham have to pay rent, % of executive revenue and a % of the sale of the club now. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) |

Some teams truly have no class.
My dad and a few others do a lot of charity stuff for Help Harry Help Others which is a brain cancer charity. Every year they do a sponsored walk to the final away game of the season, last season it was Norwich, this season it is Wigan, from Villa Park. This season they've made a lot more money as there's been more awareness about it and such. A few footballers have given their match worn shirts to be auctioned off, Liverpool players all signed a ball to be sold, a few teams have given some match tickets to be sold off to raise money. A lot of football clubs have been very good about it. This brings me to West Brom - their response was that they only do things for local charities... Harry Moseley was from Birmingham, how much more local can you get? My dad doesn't care when teams don't respond as I'm sure they get letters all the time. But for a local club to send out a letter about that it's both classless and makes no sense. |

What a goal from Lowton Kurt!
If Rooney does that it's goal of the season. If Messi does it it's the best anyone has ever seen. Great goal. |
