For the first time in ages, the FA Cup competition is wide open this year; we've seen teams of the likes of Liverpool, Chelsea, Man U and Arsenal get knocked out of the competition - and we're left with only one Premier League club, (Portsmouth - who are always on the edge of relegation themselves it seems!).

The semi finals are
Barnsley v Cardiff
West Brom v Portsmouth

So whatever happens, a non Premier League team will be at the final (Barnsley or Cardiff).

Who'dya fancy in the semis, and who'dya fancy for the cup?

I'm going for a West Brom (theyre local to me) v Cardiff final, with West Brom winning! (and getting into the Premier League this season, along with Wolves!)

They knocked Liverpool and Chelsea out so they deserve it.

Hmmm Teams that deserve to win rarely do sooo...

'Arry knocked Man U out - again - this year, having done so twice, I think, with West Ham. 

Pompey will walk it.

West Brom have been my outside tip for the cup since the 4th round. Its ironic that the big four have all reached the quarter finals of the Champions league, yet are out of the cup.

As for Pompey, they are a respectable 7th place at present. Barnsley hover above the Championship relegation zone, so have done well to beat Liverpool and Chelsea.

Barnsley v Cardiff
West Brom v Portsmouth



The most attractive price is West Brom - unfancied to get past Pompey, but if they do they'll have too much for Barnsley and the Taffies.

LadyE I am a stickler for the truth as you well know and the fact is footballers kick the opposition first and then the ball.
A bit like clog dancing really, so I pick Barnsley.

The world renowned Man U, they are out, and remind me again what do they get paid? Perhaps they were not hungry enough, then who would be on their income.

Pffbfbfbft.

They don't even kick the ball. they pick it up and carry it.

Edited to add...they pick the ball up, carry it, AND wear layers of protective padding while doing it.
