The FA Cup Final Thread

[FiNeRaIn]

So in recent years reading have won a championship and been playing prem football. Plymouth haven't. Simples with your logic.

[Urinal Mint]

PLymouth historically have always been a bigger club than Reading. Or are you only counting from about 2005 onwards?

So you'd accept forest are a bigger club than chelsea?

Not sure on that one. Years ago, yes. But...

Chelsea have won the league three more times
and the FA Cup four more times

but Forest do have those two European Cups.

so Chelsea inch ahead.

Do they f**k!!

Fantastic show of double standards here too. What a berk!

[No Fixed Abode]

look at those stats.

THREE more domestic top flight titles
FOUR more FA Cups - could be FIVE come Saturday

Next you'll be telling me LIverpool have been better than Chelsea this last decade with that 1 European cup win.

[Compo's Hat]

Anyway, i couldn't think of two worse teams to contest an FA Cup final.

The only winner will be that dreadful pitch!

[Messiah]

look at those stats.

THREE more domestic top flight titles
FOUR more FA Cups - could be FIVE come Saturday

Next you'll be telling me LIverpool have been better than Chelsea this last decade with that 1 European cup win.

That 1 European Cup win that you can't BUY.

Who claimed Chelsea were bigger than Liverpool?

To be fair we are these days - they haven't won the league in......well, it's so far back I can't remember.

[Sun Tzu]

Can anyone pinpoint the year when the FA Cup Final stopped being a major sporting event that brought the country to a standstill ?

I'm hoping for a 0-0 after 120 mins and neither team managing to score from the spot....

[Smoking Kills Dancing Doe]

None of the people currently at Pompey did everything wrong. Not their fault Harry and co did the dirty to their club.

Why resent the club when the culprits got away with it?

Agree to some extent, but a lot of people still at the club were very much part of what went on. Happy to feed off what always looked like dodgy dealings.

5 times European Cup winners > than a handful of league championships, of which Liverpool's record pisses all over Chelsea's.
