He bought the wrong club if he wanted trophies, their track record is not exactly illustrious unlike a much better team over in B6

Which of said teams have won most trophies since he took over, I have a suspicion the team in blue have won more trophies and had a Europa League campaign under his ownership, which the other mentioned team haven't done so!

After todays debacle at Cardiff, is anyone yet willing to concede that sacking Martin Jol was an error by Fulham ?

Oldham lost 3-1 to Preston today in which Preston were better team, we also when down to 10 men as our player Clarke-Harris got sent off for handball ball on line but lucky for us our goalkeeper saved the penalty, if we lose on Tues night against Rotherham and other teams around us win then Oldham will be in bottom 4. :(

I see Hyde lost 5-1 to Halifax but probably only good news for them was that Southport lost 2-0 against Woking mean Hyde didn't got relegated today, if Hyde lose on Tues night against Alfreton then Hyde will be relegated and they be playing in Conference North division next season.

Wolfsburg 1-6 Bayern
40 goals in the last 10 league games for Bayern

Notice on BBC website that Bayern Munich haven't lost in league since October 2012 (49 matches) that some achievement for Bayern Munich or any club to not lose in league for 16/17 months.

It begs to question how much is to do with the new owner. His American team are bottom of their respective league as well.

Al Fayed must be watching on horrified.

Can't remember where on the forums this was debated but it was interesting that on this afternoon's football focus the lack of transport options for Charlton fans to Sheffield tomorrow was also brought up.

A few unexpected results in the Champ, including Barnsley Forest :( also, who would have thought Accrington would go 3 up at home to Chesterfield in 45mins?!

Hull and Sheffield Wednesday join Arsenal in the semi-finals.

Manchester City concede a penalty mid-way through the first half that Gomez converts to put Wigan Athletic 1-0 up at the Etihad Stadium of Eastlands

If they any Sheff Utd fans on this thread then I think you just pee them off Paul. :D

FA Cup Semi Final draw

Hull v Sheff Utd
Man City/Wigan v Arsenal

With Hull playing Sheff Utd in SF it mean that one of them will be playing in Europe next season and whoever finish in 7th place will miss out a Europa place.

You mean to say there are TWO teams in Sheffield..:D

Joking of course, but very well done by Sheffield United

It would be wonderful if Wigan beat them again

Two minutes into the second half and Perch puts Wigan Athletic 2-0 up against Manchester City.

WOW Wigan have beat Man City for second year in row in FA Cup and will now play Arsenal in SF, this is Arsenal biggest chance of winning trophy for first time in nine years too.

Also if Wigan beat Arsenal in SF then Man Utd would need to finish in 5th place to have any chance of playing in Europe next season.

Sixth place in the league is a Europa League place unless Man. City do not finish in the top five, because Man. City won the League Cup.

With Arsenal being the only side left in the FA Cup that is likely to finish in the top six of the Premier League, the Europa spot will go to one of the teams in the FA Cup Final.

Just a bit of forewarning for you all - prepare for hyperbolic tedium over the next month as we all get reminded that Dave Whelan broke his leg once.

I think you along with many pundits spoke too soon, and assumed man city would win. If we get a Wigan vs. hull/ Sheffield United final this that the pundits gave been banding around before the Wigan game won't be correct.

It didn't happen in an FA Cup Final by any chance did it ?

FA Cup Final injuries engender football folk-lore, such as the broken neck suffered by the Manchester City goalkeeper, Bert Trautmann in a final, many years ago, which is still remembered to this day by those of us old enough to have watched that particular match.

Did he? I've never heard that story before, please enlighten us :lol::lol: (and in case the sarcasm hasn't shown through I have heard that story more times than I care to remember)

Arsenal's last result against Wigan, 4-1 win, last result against City, 6-3 loss, you do the maths.....

I think that when it comes to a semi-final with an FA Cup Final at stake, past results count for naught and it is this one-off match that counts. Mind you, I have only been watching football since the first match that I attended in the early 1950's, so I may not have enough back knowledge to call upon.

Thanks for the "maths" ending to your posting... You will make blush. It is no less that 48 years ago that I approached the rostrum at Manchester University in 1966 to receive my First in Mathematics..:D

His first words were "Has Dave got the cast off yet"
