The FA employ a sliding scale of awesomeness , hence Liverpool ball one and United ball 8 or 'completely last ball'.Originally posted by careca View PostComment

Is it just me or has the fa cup really lost the following it used to have.
I remember being younger and all the top teams would be in the semi finals putting out their best possible squads and mad for the cup, don't feel the urgency anymore when watching any of these games.
They don't even feel like cup games tbh, apart from bradford as their pitch was shitGo big or go homeless.Comment

Capital city Palma is decent enough for a walk around afternoon, really nice 'old town' in the middle of it. Castles, churches, monasteries, forts etc.Originally posted by zuutroy View Post
If you like your exotic train journeys, the Soller Train through the mountains from just beside Palma main station is fairly sensational, a narrow gauge old school train winding its way through a load of mountain tunnels and interior Majorca to the nice northern town of Soller.
Would take 4-5 hours there and back so may not suit you.

I think it stems from when man utd didnt partake one year so they could go to play in the world club championships. Would love an ald fa cup now wouldnt ye. But other teams have suffered by making the final wigan/boro got relegated maybe not the only reason but a major factor.Originally posted by mdoug View Post
Its a nice cup to win get some silverware. Got critics of Arsene Wengers back when he doesnt really matter. I hate an Fa Cup weekend if they could fit it in mid week somehow all the better.

Saw Selma today, thought it was weak and the lead actor had no presence, I understand why he wasn't nominated. Any kind of a genuinely good performance would have got him a nomination imo. Denzel got one for Malcolm X.Originally posted by NiceandcoolTrig View Post

Booked Forest Avenue for our 6th Wedding Anniversary on the 28th March.
I met her 18 years ago on the 8th March at a house party of a mutual friend. I got her drunk on Malibu and we have been together ever since. I have been with her longer than I have been without her.
Have been through a lot over the years. She lost her dad at 16 to heart attack which in a strange way cemented our relationship at a very young age.
Traveled a good bit together and had lived a pretty trouble free life until she nearly died giving birth to our first and then losing our second child at 38 weeks.
She is the strongest person I know and I don't realise how lucky I am a lot of the time.
Don't know where this is going but anyway.His rival it seems, had broken his dreams,By stealing the girl of his fancy.Her name was Magill, and she called herself Lil,But everyone knew her as Nancy.Comment

changing phone is a pleasure these days, install motorola app on old phone, click start and everything goes to new phone, done in a a minute. Thousands of photos, preferences, contacts, blah blah all done. Good ole technology. It even recognised old numbers I rang from my call log and added them to my address book.

Tbh I used to enjoy the fa cup as a kid, remember a day filled with being in the pub playing darts with lots of shouting. I think I only realised it tonight when we got arsenal that for some reason I'm more excited about playing them in the premiership than the cup.. might just be me. And before anyone comments, no it is not because they will knock us out yada yadaOriginally posted by mugsy View Post
Utterly agree that fixtures being played mid week would be much nicer for our viewing pleasure though.Go big or go homeless.Comment

She had hellp syndrome but quite a severe case.Originally posted by Hitchhiker's Guide To... View Post
Lucky we got to the hospital when we did as she wasn't close to the time between contractions when you are supposed to go in.
When we got in the nurse examined her downstairs and I knew by the look on her face that she was in trouble. From what I saw in one born every minute v what happened in Theatre I knew she was in trouble.
At one point I was holding our daughter having a Jack and Sarah moment going how the fuck am I going to look after you on my own.
Thankfully she pulled through after numerous transfusions and surgery.
She was so good through out the whole process and so strong.
Losing our second child was cruel.
When you get the first warning at 37 weeks that she may have a hole in her heart and she is dead a week later.
Having to put your child in a little white coffin and drive her to the cemetery is the hardest thing I will hopefully ever have to do.
I don't think I will ever get over it.
I said said to my wife that our wedding seems like a lifetime away and she said 2 lifetimes and it hit me like a ton of bricks.

You see, I want a lot.
Perhaps I want everything
the darkness that comes with every infinite fall
and the shivering blaze of every step up.
So many live on and want nothing
And are raised to the rank of prince
By the slippery ease of their light judgments
But what you love to see are faces
that do work and feel thirst.
You love most of all those who need you
as they need a crowbar or a hoe.
You have not grown old, and it is not too late
To dive into your increasing depths
where life calmly gives out its own secret.

On a slightly happier note. The moment I realised I wanted to marry her was when we were on holidays in Sicily and at a Tracy Chapman concert in the old ruins and this song came on.
I nearly proposed there and then but bottled it as I had no ring.
This was a bit long for a first dance we thought.
This was our first dance wedding song - seems a bit cliched now but wasn't that well known in 2009.

I thought the guy playing Governor Wallace was very good. I also thought the guy playing King nailed the cadences of his voice in the sermon\speech scenes but wasn't all that compelling outside them.
