    With the Q/Finalists in place.

    2 Questions.
    Who you wish & who you think - would win this year?

    My picks.

    Wish - Any of the non PL teams.
    Think (Kind of wishful) - Wes Brom.

    Others are evil to us one way or the other. Also, we have West Brom away towards the end of our run-in. Nice if they are distracted with a FA cup run. Last season TP team did us away at a crucial moment in the race. Hope not this season <ok>

    Villa v West Brom
    Bradford v Reading
    Pool v Rovers
    Manures v Goons

    Not sure i'd give Villa better odds than United, but looks about right otherwise.

    A United/Liverpool final would be great for the neutral, with all the rivalry.
    Though it would be nice to see Bradford or Reading get there, the underdogs and all that.

    Only worth a true underdog getting there if 2 make it. Otherwise invariably the favourite wins and it's boring! Wigan the exception but other than that, nearly always the favourite wins when a an average side makes the final. Think Hull, Portsmouth, Cardiff, Millwall etc. in recent years.

    Miles offside goal & another professional Dive penalty goal from Rooney - Agent Dowd guides Manures through to the FA cup quarterfinal <doh>
    Poor Preston!

    Atleast one good thing - Manures v Goons next up. Will be glad if either of them lose!

    Doesn't seem to matter who the ref is Utd, get so many decisions their way. Always have done, always will.
    I'd love to see an underdog win it, but I have to say I think Liverpool and Arsenal will be the finalists, or could they meet in the semis??

    Juve dominated Italian / world football - Italy won WC
    Barca dominated Spanish / world football - Spain won WC
    Bayern dominated German / World football - Germany won WC
    When Manures CONSTANTLY dominated English football - England didn't even win a semi final anywhere!!
    Reason - Bunch of average players always had it easy to win it all in England!!

    When your leading team is crooked and cheats - your national team will be exposed, no wonder England has nothing to show far.
    Case in point - how shameful Rooney is defended by the national mgr, pundits even Preston mgr.
