And a bit of [i]festive spirit[/i] left over if you know what i mean :D. Posted by: Chopper Proberly a very dumb question but whats the FA Cup? Is it soccer? Posted by: 3 Points Chopper my good man! [b]F[/b]ootball [b]A[/b]ssociation Cup. (The FA run the leagues here, badly :D ) Basically all the teams in England (some non-league etc) all play various teams in kind of a knock out tournament. Today is the third round when the big guns from the Premiership enter the tournament. The third round is notourious for a few upsets (like lower league teams knocking out big clubs). My team (Aston Villa) are playing Blackburn Rovers today (both premiership clubs, just my luck!) and i'm not very hopeful. Manchester United vs Portsmouth is on now. [b]Come On Portsmouth!!![/b] - Man i hate Man United :eek: I could waffle on all day about it, but i won't :D Posted by: Chopper [QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Ånubis [/i] [B]3 Points Chopper my good man!

Over here we don't have much to do with soccer or football, what ever you call it over there :) Posted by: We call it football 'cos you kick the ball (i ain't gonna start on that throwing egg game they got in the US :D). If you want to see how bad my team does today you can find all the latest footy scores over at [url]www.football365.com[/url] or [url]www.skysports.com[/url] Hey Chop you hear what happened to that Aussie goalkeeper who played for Chelsea? (Mark Bosnich). Posted by: Chopper The only football I know anything about is AFL [url]http://afl.com.au/[/url] Its also an egg shade ball but they kick it not throw it. You probery know of it apparently its getting big over there. Cheers Posted by: I've seen that a few times on the tv, confusing? - you bet, i don't understand it!!!
