All this Glazer/America business reminds me of that Budweiser ad; in an American accent... 'Manchester Black Sox'?, 'extra-time multi-ball'?, 'half-time monster-trucks'? (If you don't live in the UK this won't make any sense whatsoever ).

FA Cup Final Odds
Arsenal 5/6 F
Man United 11/10

It looks like Arsenal are favourites for the cup!

Go on http://www.budweiser.co.uk/ and go on True Fun, select TV Ads and you can watch the SoccerTainment one. Although its a different version to the one I think is on TV.

Thanks for the link Ste. That ad is awesome. I love the way they exaggerate the crazy ideas of some Americans!

Glazer In!

Glazer In!

How did I know you'd say that Ste?

We already are

We beat Arsenal in last year's champions league quarter-finals

I disagree!

It looks like we're going to have to wait even longer to see some football at the new Wembley now! The staff working on the stadium have said that the project is well behind schedule. Others are very confident that it will be open on time. The first match there is under a year away now! Check out that article: http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/4538109.stm

There's more and more stuff coming on the net now about Survival Sunday. Check this article out: http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/eng_prem/4543801.stm for some pieces by fans of the four clubs!

No surprises that the Charlton/Palace match isn't on sky. Instead it's going to be Fulham/Norwich (understandable), and, of course, Southampton/ManU. I thought they'd have had a CL style multi-screen option available : .

after 3 teams relegated which teams are prompted?

 

[Skater]

Three teams are promoted from The Championship to The Premiership. The teams that are promoted so far are Sunderland and Wigan. The third team promoted will be the winnner of the Play-Off Final.
