I've always supported both. Probably more of a United supporter but I still find time to support the Bluebirds.

Wembley, Wembley,
Were the famous Cardiff City and
were going to Wembley!!!!!!!!

Ah, who cares. It's the cup. Any flukey f*ckers can do well in the cup. It takes a lot more to be winning your league by such a margin as we are.

I really enjoyed the Bristol Rovers vs WBA game as well. Better entertainment wise than many a Premiership or Champions/Runners Up/Third Place and in some places 4th place League games (eg Man U vs Lyon) I've seen.

Funny also when the camera went on to the crowd, this guy with a Bristol flag gave the cameraman a long and prolonged 2 finger gesture. The commentator and Lawrensen had to laugh.

It wasn't Lawrenson, it was Mark Bright: an infinitely more annoying commentator.

Thought the punditry on MOTD 2 last night was comical, when debating Miller's second goal for West Brom, they ignored the fact the ball was played back by a Bristol defender, which meant he couldn't be offside (as was the case for Henry VS England in Euro 2004) and instead focussed on the whole "phase of play" nonsense

Saw that and started to question my own mind.Chiles actually asked the right question about it coming of the BR defender but the lads did'nt seem to grasp that point.

You're right. I should have remembered that. Mark Bright = Wednesday legend.

Barnsley vs Cardiff
WBA vs Portsmouth

Pity as I was hoping for WBA vs Portsmouth final from an entertainment point of view.

**rambler14** · 10/03/2008, 2:20 PM

I'd go for a Cardiff vs Pompey final

**superfrank** · 10/03/2008, 2:34 PM

West Brom Portsmouth final might be best but West Brom probably have the best chance of beating Portsmouth and therefore the best chance of an all-Championship final.

believe it or not rambler14 you're not on your own i'm quite fond of the bluebirds myself!!!

Looks like Cardiff are in big trouble financially again unfortunately. Sam Hammam and Ridsdale it's just unbelieveable two of the biggest gangsters football has ever and will ever see. Now they may win the case but how long before Ridsdale really fecks them up.

Uefa boss Michel Platini has pledged to help Cardiff if they win the FA Cup, but are refused entry to the Uefa Cup.

I want D. Kiely to put one over 'Arry Redknapp who treated him like a mug.

**jebus** · 14/03/2008, 12:35 PM

Even though they're Wednesday's Yorkshire rivals I don't think anyone can deny that Barnsley deserve to win this cup. Putting out two of the top 4 is unheard of for a club that's not Arsenal, United, Chelsea or Liverpool in this day and age

can't remember many of those sides having as tough draws as barnsley have had either

Well Done Cardiff.

Great goal by Joe Ledley. Gavin Rae should have scored one of his 2 chances to make it 2-0 but yer man Odejayi should have made it 1-1 so I won't nitpick.
Speaking of Odejayi probably the worst miss in an FA Cup semi-final ever?????

May 17th the final is, i'll see how the funds are and if I can afford it I might venture over. Cardiff have a great chance to win the final. I know they are against Premier League oppostion but they have an experience team who know how to break down the big boys.

**OwlsFan** · 17/05/2008, 11:11 PM

Didn't see the final. Was out. Any good? Delighted to see one of the "Big 4" not winning it even though it meant that the game barely appeared on the radar. Interesting though. Liverpool and Arsenal win nothing. Pompey win a cup.
