2007-2008 FA Cup Thread

Thanks 👍 Shows you can do well with a team of ageing premiership stars

I hate Cardiff.

But find myself strangely supportive.

Any talk on whether they'll actually be allowed in the Champions League spot that the FA gives to the FA Cup winner? The problem being that Cardiff are FAW members.

The FA cup winner doesn't get a Champions league spot, they get a UEFA cup spot. The top 4 premiership places get a Champions league spot.

Yeah I realised that listening to the news today, ta.

There was talk about a Champions league spot being given to the FA cup winner and should a top 3 club win it it would default to 4th in the league but they can't justify a lower league club being in the Champions league which would be possible. It goes against the entire concept of the Champions league being reserved for the best clubs from thier respective leagues only.
