GOONERBHOY 12-12-1999, 03:27:AM FA Cup 3rd Round

DERBY 0-1 BURNLEY
EXETER 0-0 EVERTON
HEREFORD 0-0 LEICESTER
SUNDERLAND 1-0 PORTSMOUTH
TRANMERE 1-0 WEST HAM
WATFORD 0-1 BIRMINGHAM
WREXHAM 2-1 MIDDLESBROUGH
Cecco 12-12-1999, 09:56:AM That proves how good the Premier League really is...it sucks!
Neo_9 12-12-1999, 10:08:AM Yeah!! Italian League rules!!
Forza Inter
Sella 12-12-1999, 08:11:PM I don't exactly see Perugia and co. smashing heads in Europe. Or anyone beneath 5th place in Spain winning cups. Even Germany, lately.
So that's for bottoms of leagues. As for tops? Hey, United kicked cute little Internazionale and JUVENTUS out of it. So I don't want to insult, but hey, an English team took the Treble last year and no Italian did.
Sella 12-12-1999, 08:13:PM Oh, and also - I might remind you that the second devision in England holds (for example) Nottingham Forest, the dear old club that took 2 European Champions' Cup.
GOONERBHOY 13-12-1999, 01:22:AM Not to mention Blackburn Rovers Champions one year and in no time are Div 1 strugglers.
SO FACK OF ITALIAN LEAGUE FANS HERE IN BRITIAN WE HAVE AT LEAST 3 LEAGUES BETTER THAN THE ITALIAN SIERI A, Eng Prem, Scot Prem and Nationwide 1st.
phudge 13-12-1999, 06:22:AM Quite true Goonerbhoy, but then look at it this way:
EVERTON vs Exeter
LEICESTER vs Hereford
They look a bit scarier now surely!
But you're right, everybody who goes on about the gulf between Premier and Nationwide divisions had their words rammed down their throats!
PolishPower 13-12-1999, 06:30:AM Blackburn Rovers? what a laugh. Ever hear of Napoli or Sampdoria? both in Seria B currently.
Also this "my crappy teams are better than your crappy teams" is absurd, maybe we should have a new European competition then, called the "crappy teams cup"? Please...
In my opinion all these upsets tell me is that English teams have finally started to blow off the domestic cup competitions like the rest of Europe has been doing for years now. Welcome to the club...
J.A.B.J. 15-12-1999, 09:23:PM It is really bad for Middlesbrough - after losing to my team 2-1, they go to Tranmere in the Worthington Cup and lose by the same score!!!
I was unhappy about the FA Cup draw - after the hard work of beating Boro, Wrexham draw against... Cambridge!!!
Nothing against Cambridge, but another Premier League team would have been nice...
Not forgetting that we are the only Welsh team left in the English Cup!
PolishPower 16-12-1999, 06:04:AM Wrexham, the most famous small team in the world...
GOONERBHOY 16-12-1999, 06:09:AM Shame to see Ipswich take an early exit, Gunners on track though!
J.A.B.J. 16-12-1999, 07:15:PM Thanx Polish Power!!
I hope that Wrexham can get a good cup run to give them some hope in the league!!!
We are struggling in 18th in Division 2, but a good cup run will help build morale and get us to safety!!
I hope that if we beat Cambridge, being drawn against a Premier team at home will do the club some good!
After all, our pedigree as cup giantkillers lives on...
Russian Rocket 21-12-1999, 06:30:AM Go Wrexham (really, my favorite team in English leagues; although it's Welsh)!!!
The best tema in Wales!!!!!!
PolishPower 21-12-1999, 07:11:AM Russian, so I see that you must have read the book too?
J.A.B.J. 21-12-1999, 08:07:PM Cheers guys - get behind my team!!!!
We are going for a good cup run this year (I hope!)
J.A.B.J. 21-12-1999, 08:09:PM Hey, I'm also going to make a kit for FIFA for the best team in Wales!
It will be at FIFA Centre Spot Jersey Shop soon!!!
go to www.fifacentrespot.de/jerseys for loads of jerseys from around the world!
Go Wrexham!!!
