I'd rather have someone other than the usual suspects win a final, so I hope Newcastle win.

Man Utd have won very little since Fergie left so they’re hardly usual suspect in recent years.

 

[Donegal Wolf]

As someone said earlier, be nice for both of them lose, but I think the potential smugness of Eddie howe is the deciding factor.

Tony getting his wish of a Manure thrashing? 1st looked off to me and the 2nd was going nowhere without the deflection. Keeper should have done better though.

Antony has got a face you'd never get tired of punching.

An amateur(ish) club, Spakenburg have reached the semi-final of the Dutch Cup. They won away at Utrecht last night 4-1 but their run should end there as PSV, Feyenoord and Ajax all play in separate Quarter Finals tonight. The article isn't quite correct as they beat another Eredivisie side (Groningen) in the last 32 before beating fellow amateurs Katwijk on penalties in the last 16.

Amateur club Spakenburg knocks Eredivisie team FC Utrecht out of Dutch Cup

Amateur football club SV Spakenburg has progressed to the semi-finals of the KNVB Beker with an incredible 1-4 victory over FC Utrecht in de Galgenwaard in Utrecht. Spakenburg defeated another Eredivisie side in the last round beating FC Groningen away. They will now find out on Saturday who...

Reading going to get another 6 point deduction. Not stuck to the plan agreed last year so that suspended penalty will kick in.

 

[Tony Towner]

Excellent article on the BBC Sport about time of football matches and is it about to change forever?
Long article with loads of stats and examples. Some games in the last world cup only had 52 minutes of play and that included the ball going into touch and behind the goals. 52 fucking minutes!!

Just been reading up on Huntington's disease (which she suffers from). Could perhaps affect how she perceives things? Either way, I wouldn't wish that on anyone.

IIRC she's got an illness of some sort.

Edit. Huntington's i think, so might be affecting her decision making
