    Leeds already one gaol down to Chelsea, they look to be sinking fast. The second season always seems to catch out promoted teams. I am.not sure why that should be the case, be interesting to read your opinions...

    China has abruptly pulled out of hosting the Asian Cup with one year to go.

    Can see this tanking any ambitions of hosting the World Cup they may have had.

    With better finishing from Forest, the entire tie could have been close to being over, let alone just this first leg.

    Hoping Huddersfield or Luton come up, should be less of a threat for us

    Forest won't IMO. They've proven they can compete with PL teams.

    One off cup ties very different to a 38 game season though.

    Sounds like a wager if they make it! Our Burnley one going right to wire.

    Just about whether they go down or not.

    Not 100% on who has what though lol. Think you've backed them to go but not 100% so we'll check once season done.

    Well that will go down as one of the most boring FA Cup Finals.

    Chelsea have reached the last 3 Wembley finals (2 FA Cup, 1 Carabao Cup) and lost them all. :emoticon-0136-giggl

    That was also a third straight FA Cup Final loss in a row.
