Do you guys think Alcaraz likes to watch The Rock starring Sean Connery and Nick Coppola?

Do you guys think Scharner is a Roxy Music fan?

Just tuned in, how has he done so far?

**tricky_colour** · 11/05/2013, 5:35 PM

Fair to middling, no blunders yet.
Passing has been good, but his attempt to run past Toure was not as successful as he would have liked.

nice change of gears versus Toure just there

**tricky_colour** · 11/05/2013, 5:41 PM

Seems destined for a draw extra time and penalties.

**tommy_c12000** · 11/05/2013, 5:42 PM

Thought Toure was leaning on his back rather than shoulder to shoulder. A lot of refs would have given a free to James

**Grafter** · 11/05/2013, 5:46 PM

Feel sorry for that Man City Reserve keeper who played up to final and then that overrated Englishman Hart plays in final...

**tricky_colour** · 11/05/2013, 6:02 PM

Come on Wigan show some urgency and win me a few quid.

**tricky_colour** · 11/05/2013, 6:05 PM

I'm in the money

**tricky_colour** · 11/05/2013, 6:06 PM

less than 2 mins for wigan to throw my money away

Who was the last Irish player to win the FA Cup?

**tricky_colour** · 11/05/2013, 6:15 PM

Actually only had 67p on it.

11/05/2013 Bet returns �5.36
11/05/2013 Bet stake -�0.67

**Crosby87** · 11/05/2013, 6:23 PM

Fox had this game on Nat'l TV. I wonder what the rating will be. My Prediction? 0.0.

Last ones to win in normal time were Keane and O'Shea in 2004. In case anyone's interested.

Delighted for Mac, thought he was very good to be honest. So calm and controlled, always organising. What a great move it was for him now in hindsight, in terms of trophies as well as playing time. A great day for football.

Very strange bet to place. 67p. Did you just empty your pocket and give it to the bookie?

ITV annoyed me saying it was an "extraordinary feat" and a "crazy result". It was one Premiership team beating another. Sure one was second and the other in the drop zone but it's hardly earth shattering that Man City, who on their day can be cr+p lost to Wigan, who on their day can play some good stuff. But then this is the media I suppose.

Found the Setanta Cup Final much more entertaining

Never seen a final like that.

p.s. McCarthy wasn't bad but not the best Wigan player on the pitch.

**DeLorean** · 11/05/2013, 8:26 PM

Little Wigan winning the FA Cup is a fairytale though OwlsFan. 18 years ago they were non-league. Of course on a given day any Premier League team can beat another, but it usually wouldn't happen in what is an equally big game for both sides, a final. The fact that they did it playing great football made it all the more impressive.

So, 'extraordinary feat' - definitely yes, 'crazy result' - maybe not so much but I'm sure most people hearing the result would be pretty shocked, apart from mental gambler Tricky that is

McManaman was without doubt the best player on show, barely debatable really.

Well I was going to put �1 on, expecting to lose but I noticed I had about �86.67 in my account so I thought I would get rid of the �0.67 to end up with a nice round �86 when I lost, but I ended up with �91.36

I thought it was a good match with a great ending, the small bet just makes it that bit more exciting (if it is winning lol).

I didn't put any money on until I had seen how both teams were playing for about 15 minutes and I thought that if you knew nothing about either teams league positions etc that you would have said it was a fairly open match with maybe Wigan slight favourites which made Wigan's 7-1 look rather tempting.
Did look to be heading for a draw until the sending off but the sending off showed Man City were struggling a bit in the midfield.

I was not too confident about Wigan's attack or defence but they looked pretty solid in the middle.
