I would think that's more than just a rumour - Rafa has had the beating of Italy's best over the past few seasons, and all the big clubs' boardrooms would be far more aware of this fact than some of the debatable decisions the man has made against the lower teams of the EPL. I'd think they would do all they could to get him. I don't think he will leave though - the man has a real passion for the club, and I wouldn't want him to.
Originally posted by Rooney Once a Blue Much more anticipated that this years "magic of the FA Cup" final against Barnsley and erm... Cardiff. Can't wait.
A final which can't happen.
For those of us who don't support the 'big four', this final will be the most anticipated in years. One of the strengths of the Cup is the huge numbers of sides who compete, and over the course of a single game the odds can be beaten.
Besides, the sides involved isn't always a good indicator how how entertaining the game will be. The top sides play some pretty dull games betweeen each other, whereas weaker sides can throw up far more entertaining games (albeit the skill level on display wouldn't be sa high, but that doesn't stop a game being entertaining).

Alright Cappie?
I'll enjoy this year's FA Cup final more than last year whoever's in it - because it means that Chelsea nor ManU will be winning it! Shame Cardiff couldn't have put this run together anytime in the previous 7 years - then they could have possibly been playing the final at the MS.
Yes, the big 4 bashing is getting rather tedious - but one or two self righteous knob jockies clearly feel the need to get it off their chests!

Firstly I wasn't bashing the supporters of those sides, and I certainly wasn't making comparison to a single year. Perhaps it might had been staed as a neutral.

Alright mate?
Yeah it will be interesting to see what Roman gets for his rubles this year - my prediction = nothing! Grant out, Rijkaard or Mancini in in the summer...

I don't think they'll get Rijkaard or Mancini and I think Grant is doing OK
