Are there any prizes for saying who's better than who? First, it's Oscar better than Hazard/Mata and now it's Mata better Cazorla. Give it a rest fellas! None of you are really gonna agree with each other anyway and the more you argue, the more you'll just be going in circles!
Regardless, the FA ain't gonna do that. Don't remember Liverpool or United getting an offer like that when they won it in 2005 and 2008 respectively anyway.
Offered a bye? Mate, they pulled out of the competition altogether. They were never in it to begin with. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1999%E2%80%932000_Manchester_United_F.C._season#cite_note-1
You mean the one in 1999? They pulled out of the FA Cup that year to play in the Club World Cup. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/sport/football/fa_carling_premiership/381662.stm
Game 0-0 4 minutes into the game and Klose scored but he handled the ball for the goal. Rather than just take what you get, he went to ref, admitted that he used his hand and asked not to give the goal.
Rather than having to open a new thread for every round every time, have created a general thread to make things easier. So, if you have any news, thoughts, analysis on the draw etc, just discuss it here from now on. Cheers.
Rather than having to open a new thread for every round every time, have merged the two League Cup threads this season and pinned it. So, if you have any news, thoughts, analysis on the draw etc, just discuss it here from now on. Cheers.
