My top score is 873.96 - can anyone beat that?
And I guess M. Houlier won't have any friends left on Merseyside if Tranmere Rovers are the only representatives of the area playing in Europe next year.Spiros said:Doesn't this also mean that one of Sunderland, Millwall or Tranny will be playing in the UEFA cup next season?
Lord Bracknell said:Cobblers, Robbo.
Do you really want an FA Cup Final between two sets of multi-millionaires and their arrogant fans who think that no-one else is entitled to have a look in?
Robbo said:what a load of f***ing shite. Winner of the Arsenal game wins the FA cup then.
f***ing Joke!

OK they'd probably get tonked on the day, but at least someone other than the usual 3 or 4 has made it to a final. Brings a bit of romance back to the cup - it's been years and years and years since the smaller clubs could even dream of days like this. This gives us the belief to dream again, and could be the best thing to happen to football for some time. Next year more clubs and more supporters will go into the cup thinking this year they could be Tranmere, rather than everyone just expecting it to be Man U, Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool etc like it has been for the past decade or whatever. For once money doesn't rule the game, chance and opportunity have a look in.

Hope not though. Up the Trannies (after Wednesday of course).
Easy 10 said:Makes the Final a complete forgone conclusion though, doesn't it. In years gone by, you could make a case for the possibility of there being an upset, but those days are long gone. The gap between the top Premiership clubs and the Nationwide is now an absolute chasm.
Even last years final was a complete anti-climax, as Arsenal were so far and away too good for Southampton. This years Final will obviously be a great occasion for the Sunderland/Tranmere/Millwall fans, but as a competative fixture it will be a complete non-event.
