FA Cup upsets

Post by Captain Seafort »

Bloody hell. :shock:

Man United out to Pompey and Chelsea out to Barnsley. This is one of the great days of English football.

The former I'm pleased with because it's United, the latter because it shows that Barnsley have hit a run of exceptional Cup form, and it wasn't just us playing crap when we lost to them.

Hey, if it's a choice between cricket and footy, I'd go for cricket any day. :)

The opportuity to have a go at United and Chelsea at the same time was too good to pass up however.

Like I said - cricket. It's certainly a sight more complex, and therefore a thinking man's sport. Football may claim to have complicated rules regarding offside, but they're nothing when compared to the lbw rule.

Like NASCAR. That's a real sport. That any real man should like.

NASCAR only qualifies as entertaining when I see something explode or crash. Other than that, it's an hour of watching people drive around in circles. If I wanted to see that, I'd wander down to the local roundabout.

Hear, hear. The only thing approaching a useful spectator sport in auto racing is drifting.

I hate roundabouts. Some idiot set up three in a row by menards and the North side Wal-Mart. It's the only thing that actually gives me motion sickness.

They're useful for regulating traffic if you don't want lights.
Of course, some moron decides to put a roundabout and three freaking sets of traffic lights at the same junction, which happens to be one of the busiest around.
Things like that make me glad I don't drive.
