Here's a good article from the BBC about previous 'underdogs' in semis (if you can watch the videos). I remember the '92 game against Portsmouth at Highbury well, I was at it with me Dad...
Villa is the fly in ointment for me. Their team is finally playing more to their capacity. Liverpool should have enuf but a lucky day could see villa scrape thru. A liv arse final would at least be attractive.
Hey Bill, don't know if you already know this, but as it stands (with 6 games left) West Ham sit atop the Fair Play League and if it stays that way til Seasons' End, it's Europa League Football next season for your boys (probably joining our boys on Thursday Nights)
No truly good result could have come from this game, except to back my Bold Prediction, which was incorrect. Heck, they all were today. Maybe West Ham carves up City tomorrow and Liverpool smash Aston Villa, then all will be right in the universe.
Nice goals from Alexis Sanchez today; he's one of my favorite players. Scrappy, inventive, and indefatigable.

the saddest bloke on the forum has to copy his own predictions in when they are so rarely right!!
I hope west ham put the boot in. Disappointed to hear we didnt have at least two blokes sent off! If it was me i wouldve blown at horn at a certain point in match and had 4 players wrestle Milner to the ground and set about giving him a thorough kicking. It would be worth it!!
A pint for all on me the next time we meet for the first time.
I was listening to a sports channel this morning (Radio 5 Live) & they were talking about six foreign Leeds players who'd decided that they weren't well enough to travel to Charlton, & so didn't go. Things seem to be going from bad to worse there. Pretty soon it's just going to be the oldies who remember the glory days there.
Is it safe to say that The Premiership is Chelsea's this season? Ugh.
Okay, we do have Champions League which only Bill and I are able to discuss. Tall Guy's still haunted by '75, Thomas and Kev are glued to their DVD-R of The Miracle of Istanbul, and...and...and...
