as long as the crunts dont get 4th who cares about the fa cup..sure we all sentimental about it and love the non league clubs story in the 3rd round, but ever since united pulled out its been a bit 2nd rate...
im afraid now the champions league is taking 4 teams from our league the fa cup will remain 2nd rate...its 10 times harder coming 4th than winning it (no it shouldnt get a CL place to make it more interesting)
the coup de france and copa del rey and italian equivalent arnt taken anywhere near as seriously, our cup is just finding its legitmate level.
now as long as they don t get 4th.....city are doing there best to hand it to them though

think about it...
Man City will spend money regardless of where they finish, perhaps you should think about it if you want the y**s to come 4th
But his right about Citeh.
Citeh is the lesser of two Evils. However, should Citeh get through they will be able to attract a different calibre of player due to the attraction of the CL.
The other issue is should Villa, Citeh, sp*ds or Everton get it they won't know what to do! Not to mention the co-efficient rankings.
The end result could be, like in Italy, UEFA take away the 4th spot from the Premier League.
Having Arsenal, Liverpool, Man U is key for UEFA.
The team I've missed is also the team UEFA don't rank highly is the Chavs. They let us down!
having them in the CL is far worse...how wrong is that a team who havent been champions in 50?? years in the CHAMPIONS league...christ at least us and the mousers have a championship pedigree even if we havent won it in a while, and the chavs won the league fairly soon after 1st geting CL football i think, but spurs wont win the league, possibly ever again.
im sure they will only be in it for this 1 year as mousers and city will come back massively next year, but for them to say theyve ever been in it is wrong.
if someones can be arsed is there a team who havent been champions as long as them who've been in it?
newcastle indeed, but at least they were runners up a couple of times which got them in it in the 1st palce... the spuds wont be runners up in the prem for years if ever.
im not sure the coefficiens would be hit that much by 1 season of a shit club geting in the CL, im sure it would take a few years of that shit club qualifying to bring the coefficent down to 3, although i maybe mistaken.
i wouldnt mind if the coefficient came down in the long term(notthru the spuds qualifying thogh) as although it could impact us, long term i think we are fine when our debts are cleared and it wouldnt be the financial disaster it curently would be to miss out, plus it woud end spurs hopes of ever getting in it again!!!
the way forward is a european super league with our reserves playing in the english top league. that would really piss spurs off, as they would have no chance of ever being in it.
also to all the idiots who want city to lose and prefer spurs in the CL..get real..1st we will never here the end of it...2nd city are inevitiable, they really should get top 4 next year and be a fixture in the cl for as long as the arabs are around jusdt delaying it by a season doesnt really matter, we are going to have to face up to competing with them for the foreseeable future...spurs wont be a top 4 regualr and this is going to be there only chance to get in it for years and no sane gooner can want that.
Heard a nasty rumour that you're really a spurs fan, not true is it, you couldn't really be an inferiority complex ridden-arsenal hating,but secretly desperately envious of the mighty Arsenal-destined ever to be in our shadow-spurs fan, could you..?

Still dining out on the 5-1. Small clubs dine out on beating big clubs once in a blue moon.
If it makes you happy, yes it was 5-1, yes you won the 4th choice trophy for the big teams in the league, bet you're about it but isn't it time your players stopped letting us do this every season.
Seeing as you like numbers, here's a few for you
I could mention the number 49, or the number 10 but hey why bother when you've got the superior numbers of 5-1 to make you .
Must comfort you when you think of Wolves doing the double over you eh
