    No smash and grab in the boro match as you would expect with cup shock.
    Cardiff much better team in my opinion.

    Peter Whittingham making Villa fans wonder why he was sold, great goal and overall performance today.

    I went to see Cardiff play Burnley last October when I was in Cardiff for the Rugby World Cup and they looked decent except for the strikers Fowler looked way past and Jimmy Floyd was not up to the pace at all, they look good today though playing nice football and solid at the back. Stephen McPhail is doing a good job for them, could be worth a place in the Irish Setup again?

    +1

    There's no sign of the "different class" that commenter's like to talk about when prem sides play a lower league side. Cardiff are well worth the win imo.

    Boro should be banned from next year's competetion for such a putrid, effortless attempt to win this tie. The game has been a cure for insomnia.

    Playing at home and manging ONE shot on target the ENTIRE game is a disgrace. Joke of a team.

    FT. Boro 0 - 2 Cardiff. Well done to Cardiff. Best team on the day.

    Just saw Fergies post-match rant on SSN. He's a disgustingly sore loser and I hope the FA don't let it slide.

    You only noticed this now? If wenger did this the headline would be "Sore loser"
    Such is the jingoism of the British Press!

    Am I right in thinking that Cardiff can't qualify for Europe because they aren't allowed represent England?

    Yes you are, FIFA's legislation states now you can only qualify through the Association of which you are a League member, Cardiff are a member of the FAW

    Maybe 6th place will still be up for a cup spot at the end of the year:eek:

    West Brom went on to thump Bristol anyway. Have to say any time I see them (didn't today), they look a great attacking team. Ishmael Miller got a hattrick and SuperKev banged in another one. He's having a fantastic season. They're pretty much sure to be in the prem next year which is great since they're more in the Reading mould then the Derby one. Think they'd have a pretty decent chance of staying up, especially judging by some of the dross this season.

    Some good footballing teams left in the cup anyway, Barnsley played some decent stuff yesterday, Pompy on their day can be very easy on the eye, as can Cardiff. Hard to look past Pompy for the cup though imo, they have a very solid defence which will see them win it i think.

    +1. In previous years they weren't the best to watch, but Mowbray has them playing great football. They'll be a good addition to the Premiership IMO, assuming they get there.

    Yippy!!!!! Barnsley vs Cardiff in the FA cup final....can't wait.:rolleyes:



    I might be tempted to watch a Portsmouth vs West Brom match.
