    I hope barnsley do, but it will be pompey, imo.

    Boro better not, they are a horrible team.

    I can name two more premier league teams who aren't going to win....;)

    Looking forward to seeing Bristol Rovers in Europe next season :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,951 ✭✭✭DSB


    I'm gonna go with Cardiff.

    Oh dear.

    Pompey have the best squad, so I'm backing them.

    I really hope Boro don't win. I'd like Portsmouth to win, there's a part of my that really likes Harry.

    I think the deserved winners are of course Barnsley. After beating Chelsea and Liverpool, surely they believe that they can do it. It'd be absolutely amazing if they won it, but I can't see past Portsmouth.

    Bet you couldn't see past Chelsea before the game today, or past United for most of the game this morning. Is all part of the fun of the FA cup.

    Barnsley :cool:

    I'm going for West Brom. :)

    Portsmouth, Middlesbrough and West Brom have got to be considered the favourites but at the same time you could easily see them being knocked out by the others

    if West Brom don't bottle it (Like they have done alot in the league this season) they are definitely the best equipped non-premiership team to win it but the semi final draw will be more crucial than ever for the destiny of this years Cup,

    i'll go with West Brom, very decent team, should get past Bristol Rovers tomorrow, dark horses because there is no Barnsley-esque mania surrounding them!

    I'd love to see Portsmouth win it but I don't think they'll handle the favourites tag very well, so I'll go with West Brom.

    im not sure about that, forgetting the utd match (because i havent seen it), pompy can thank their lucky starts they are wer they are now! they SHOULD HAVE lost to preston, if it wasnt for a terrible penalty (props to james but any decent keeper would have saved it) and a rediculous og they would be out, or would have had another match before the utd one.

    the dream story would be for barnsley to do it, and i would love it (no i am not keegan) if they won, they had the hardest run through of everyone and made it through, morethan deserve it, it would be the fa cup fairy tale!

    please please please don;t say Pompey. you've all been predicitng Man U to win it, then after they went out you all predicted Chelsea, Now it's Pompey's turn.

    Please don't jinx us like you did the other two:D

    They do really have a world class defence though. I can't see past Pompey.

    16 goals conceded in the 25 games since the high scoring Reading game. And you can be sure they had a lot to deal with in most of those 25 games unlike your Man Utd's and Barelona's. They're as hard a team to score against as any imo. Not only are their 4 defenders excellent but they usually have 3 midfielders that are very good defensively too.

    Plus they have David James in goal! They defence was simply fantastic today

    This is a head v heart thing

    The head says Portsmouth for all the obvious reasons

    The heart says Barnsley any team that beats both Liverpool and Chelsea etc etc

    nobody. everyone will forget to show up because none of the big teams are in it and so the final will be abandoned.

    I tell ya, I bet the FA are extremely pissed off. Gona lose loads of money in TV sponsorship, also are gona have trouble filling the stadium with their sponsers. It's probably good for the fans of the clubs to be honest, they'll probably all get tickets which is great to see :)
