A shocking 7 teams from the Premier League left in the FA Cup at the last 16 stage.. Yes I know the League is the be all and end all but feck me that's brutal. If any of the 3 big clubs draw each other over the next couple of rounds it could open up completely.


It would be great if the FA cup came with a Champion's league place as reward for winning it. Would certainly spice the competition up a bit!

Can the FA use one of their placings in the CL to give to the FA cup winners? I.E fouth place?

I think they could if they can give the winner a Europa league spot? I dont think the big boys would ever allow it though (and UEFA probably would not be keen either). Too big a risk of a "smaller" team getting in and taking one of "their" places. Although if you look back through the last twenty years winners that risk is probably minimal.

CL qualification is by league placing only. Cannot use cup competitions for CL entry.

Are the Chelsea players on the verge of sacking their 3rd manager in the past 5 years?

A ruthless Roman Abramovich does the sacking at Chelsea.

2 x leagues in that time so not the worst policy.

United have sacked 3 managers in 5 years and have no leagues to show for it!

How many managers have WestHam had and never won the league? 

Having a long term manager is great if there's always progression, if not it may be a case of someone moving on and let someone else have a go..

The state of you that you only ever talk about Liverpool and never about the team you claim to support.....
When you think you're fucked you're only about 40% fucked.
