Incorrect.

Bolton put us out.

You didn't meet us. You did knock out Man Utd, Chelsea, Pompey and Brum on your way though.

I dunno, I think the final will be a combo of two of the four of United, Arsenal, Chelsea, and Liverpool.

That could swing either way on the day. It would be a dream final if it was United v Liverpool though, absolute dream.

Don't put us down when you don't have to, Bluey does enough of that already... Wink


I was thinking back to 1992 when we beat Portsmouth in the semi-final and then Sunderland in the final, also Wycombe Wanderers in 2001 and a few others in various years Wink

But yeah it was a tough journey back in 2006 beating United and Chelsea, I have great memories from that seasons FA cup run.

I don't see Liverpool making it that far, unless they happen to get the weakest team in every draw (which so far they've practically pulled off). I could see Chelsea make it, but they'll eventually run into Man United/Arsenal which is where they'll get knocked out.

Ahh, well 1992 was before my time. Okay, it wasn't, but i was only 1...

00/01 varied a bit to be honest, 'cause we also had Tranmere in the earlier round.

Wouldn't write Chelsea off so easily if I were you. By then they will have Essien, Lampard, Drogba, Mikel and possibly Terry back in the side to add to their new signings, most notably Anelka.

I think by then they will have a better XI and squad than you's to be honest.

pool are always lucky to draw easy teams.. but then they are also the team which struggle most to go through.. because they tend to play better and score huge when they're in danger.. lol..

sometimes we can't just see things.. lol..

i'd like to see Gunners play against chelski.. with anelka.. better if he manages to score.. it will surely be a deep cut if it happens.. and also if Gunners lose to his goals.. rofl..
