Been a while since we had an FA cup weekend with premiership action going on as well. Its actually insulting to the BPL.Playing in the BPL doesnt mean progress anymore in the FA cup. The romance has kicked in
The team that probably deserves the FA cup more den anyone this season has been wothout a shadow of a doubt Everton. Arsenal come a close second. Everton took on the biggest task of beating Liverpool which is no easy feat. To be frank Liverpool look jaded that day and if it wasnt for a silly Arbeloa error they would have probably had a better day but Everton showed true grit that day.
Arsenal on the other hand have been doing pretty well themselves and will probably prioritise this to get back to winning ways.For all the talk of a certain Manchester United, we cannot deny that in all competitions less the league cup Arsenal look the better of the cup teams. Keeping cleansheets has been their forte and the biggest part of any cup tourney and they have been doing so. Lets hope they can forget their early season problems and win this trophy.
Manchester United,Fulham,Boro,Burnley,Coventry and Chelsea are the other four teams contesting. Coventry flying high with Coleman winning manager of month for the championship. Tough nut to crack. They also have giant killing sprees most recently knocking a certain Manchester United out of last seasons League cup.United will find Fulham tough and if fatigue kicks in things may not go their way. That said Chelsea and United are on paper, stronger than their opponents. But hey lets have some upsets yea?
Tottenham and Sunderland play in BPL action this weekend. A fiery contest of two rather evenly matched teams. To be frank its gonna be a cracker this 1. So it wouldnt be a bad idea to catch it. Both fighting for relegation and lets face it both know they have the ability to do one over each other. Expect the ex-spurs players to try to do one over their ex club. Malbranque comes to mind. This will be a true grudge game. Expect a war..
