Now I might be a little biased being a Cardiff City Fan but isnt it refreshing not to have one of the so called big teams in the competition at this stage. All of the teams left in are there on merit and will grace the final, I am sure. Hopefully for me this will cap a great season if Cardiff win the FA cup and Elgin go up through the play offs. I will certainly be enjoying my day at Wembley next Sunday. Last Edited By: Joe 27/03/2008 12:25:52. Edited 1 time.

However, tough, as that's the magic of the cup. It takes me back to the Scottish Cup in the 1966-67 season, when a little team called Elgin City got to the quarter finals, and were narrowly pipped 2-1 by Morton, who were in the old First Division at the time. It remains a record for a non league team, and I can't seeing it ever being broken in my lifetime. Mind you, the same record has remained a "Monkey on the Back"of every management team at the club ever since. But, Oh boy, they were great times.

Will shut Joe up for a while at least! Although I would enjoy seeing a WELSH lower league team win the ENGERLISH FA Cup. But I cant see past Pompay at the mo.

I am not disputing that they have done well up to now but Liverpool and Chelsea have no respect for the FA cup and showed little interest in the competition. With the champions league etc they have bigger fish to fry. However Cardiff have an outside hope of a play off place and a chance of an FA cup final. We will be mad for it whilst Barnsley will have one eye on the league trap door as they are in a relegation battle. Will be a good game but I cant see Cardiff losing, especially to a team manged by a Swansea fan and an ex Swansea player. Jamie, Welsh lower league team????? We are in the top half of the second tier of English football. I do agree about Pompey though, they are favourites but are certainly beatable especially as Defoe is cup tied.

They fielded a pretty strong team on the day. I would hav thought that they would be more determined at this moment to win silver no matter what silver it is esp with Grant, having to prove himself, he would welcome any silver at this moment.

This will open a can of worms if they win it (and that is a possibility the way Portsmouth played). http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/c/cardiff_city/7294461.stm It will open the door for Celtic and Rangers to move South.

A goal to grace Wembley at any time or any game. The FA cup has only ever left England once and I have a real feeling it will be leaving again this year. A sad note was to see Kev Mcnaughton limp off. The ex Don has been a rock this season and will now miss the next few weeks. How he doesnt play regularly for Scotland is beyond me. Gavin Rae had a stormer as well and deserves his rewards of a Scotland recall, even if it was due to injuries. Hopefully Mr A Ramsey will be a winner again at Wembley but this time it will be Aaron and not Alf. Just a quick word on the new Wembley. It is a fantastic stadium with first class facilities. However £3.80 for a tub of maltesers, £6.50 for a pie, £3.50 a pint. How can they possibly justify these prices. And the transport links are poor. Only Wembley park station was open after the game and the station was chaos with around 75 -80 thousand people heading back in to the station for onward journeys. However in spite of this nothing could spoil the day out. Well come on 17 May - another day out in London and another Cardiff win. (please)
