Since I am a millennial, I completely understand that people in my generation complain a lot. We all know it’s true so there’s no point in denying it. However, that doesn’t mean that it’s fair to say millennials are the only generation of complainers. In fact, the older generation of people seem to do a […]

This is why people love the FA Cup. Yes, you occasionally will see a Leicester or a Blackburn win the Premier League every 20 or so years but we all know the big boys will dominate and win. In the FA Cup, anyone in England can climb up the ladder, taking things one game at […]

Approaching its 150th birthday, The FA Cup is the oldest cup competition in the world. It’s absolutely dripping with history and should be on the wish list of every club in England. Why then do Premier League teams spend a good chunk of the early rounds using it as an excuse to trot out the kids? […]

Maybe it’s because I support a club that not only values the FA Cup but has won it more than anyone else. Or maybe it’s because it was the first trophy said club won after I started supporting them. Or maybe it’s because in the last 10 years, not only have Chelsea, Manchester United, Arsenal, […]

As the Premier League gets richer and richer and becomes more of a worldwide league, the FA Cup still has an innocence to it. The tournament which includes anyone from amateur pub teams to the Premier League best, gives us a chance to go back to a time of horrible playing conditions, stadiums with basic […]

If history matters, the FA Cup Final between Manchester United and Crystal Palace (Saturday, 12:30 p.m. ET, FOX) will be a walk-over. The Red Devils have won this competition 11 times while appearing in 19 finals. Crystal Palace, on the other hand, can’t quite match that level of achievement. Palace, in fact, has only appeared […]

Twenty-six years ago, Crystal Palace took on Manchester United in the FA Cup final. On Saturday, the same two teams will meet again (12:30 p.m. ET, FOX) for the right to lift one of the most prestigious domestic cups in world soccer. Alan Pardew is a common thread. He played for Palace that season, and […]

As we fill out our NCAA brackets this week, we must thank our lucky stars we don’t fill out a bracket for the FA Cup because I don’t think anybody could have predicted this semifinal. Crystal Palace, Everton and Watford all punched their tickets to Wembley Stadium for the semifinal. Manchester United and West Ham […]

For throughout this Everton/Chelsea FA Cup quarterfinal, it appeared as if both teams were more interested in taking each other out instead of scoring goals. In an incredibly physical game, Everton’s Romelu Lukaku scored twice late to get the 2-0 win but it’ll be what Diego Costa did (or possibly did) that will have people […]

It’s no secret Arsenal have been struggling for form recently. Part of that issue is that they haven’t been able to get consistent goalscoring from any of their stars recently. Danny Welbeck’s return from injury has provided a small spark, but it’s also caused a shift in Arsenal’s team, which has resulted in Theo Walcott […]

It’s been a tough stretch recently for Arsenal. They’ve taken just 10 of their last 27 points in the league, and have likely fallen out of the title race. Over in the Champions League their situation isn’t looking good either, as they lost 2-0 at home to Barcelona and their only chance of advancing would […]

Manchester United unveiled a new controversial free kick style in their 5th round FA Cup match against Shrewsbury. The style sees two people standing over the ball, with three other players standing in between the wall and the goalkeeper in an offside position. At the last possible second those three players try run and get […]

The first 35 or so minutes of Manchester United’s 5th round FA Cup tie against Shrewbury Town was looking like any other typical Manchester United match. United possessed the ball and possessed the ball some more. Eventually they would stop possessing the ball long enough to send a 25 yard shot 30 yards wide or […]

The fifth round of the FA Cup is upon us this weekend and now that we are in the final 16, things are picking up. 11 Premier League teams have survived and are looking to finalize their journey at Wembley Stadium. That also leaves five lower league teams who are trying to get as far […]
