League and FA Cups 2014/15.

Re: League and FA Cups 2014/15.

I see Jose said it would be a 'disgrace' if you lost to Bradford? Surely it was taken out of context?

I agree it would be a disgrace, were on top of the league and have arguably the best and deepest squad.

Here's the quote.......

To help the title race, the best thing is to lose against Bradford and to lose against Liverpool and to lose against Paris St-Germain and to play only Premier League until the end of the season.

But not with us. Not with our mentality, not with our way of thinking about our job, not with Chelsea DNA.

The other day, a coach of a big team was knocked out of the cup and he was saying ‘good, very good, this is perfect for us, now we can focus on the other competitions’.

If I lose against Bradford I don’t say that. I say it’s a disgrace.”

Apparently they'll make more for going to OT than there normal revenue for the season.

Yea it's a great for them, it's amazing what one game can mean to one club. One team celebrates and it changes the entire bottom line for the season and the other it is a pain in the butt that they have to fixture in another game for the season.

Love the FA Cup

Ah that explains it better, all I saw was a headline grabber.

They'll apparently make £1.7m from the replay game at OT.

Their average per season is revenue was £1.6m.

That's a sweet deal. Do United get more given its their home game?

No, all FA Cup fixtures prior to the semi-finals divide the net receipts equally between the clubs (anywhere from 50% each to 42.5% each). In this case, since it's a replay I think both get 42.5% of the total.

Most incredible night/round in the history of the FA Cup.

Some very very expensive asses just got theirs handed to them.

Re: League and FA Cups 2014/15.

Wow. I'll bet the first and second side in the first division/premier league has neever gone out on the same day at home to lower league teams.

Bradford was 450-1 at halftime!

The Cambridge and Man U result looks pretty run of the mill now.im suddenly very worried about Brighton tomorrow now.

Lol Liverpool are likely to lose 5-0 now! Have a look at the possession stats in most of them, just incredible.

I still can't believe Chelsea talk about putting the cue in the rack!

United, Chelsea, City, Tottenham, Swansea, Southampton, Sunderland......Gone.

Bookies are celebrating worldwide!

That was embarrassing, a disgrace even(just glad we weren't alone).

Got to love the magic of the Cup.

Opens it up for Pool and the Gooners to fight it out.

Truly incredible Chef across the board most top teams scored early or first and should've had it wrapped up but the games just got flipped on its head. One after another they fell over I didn't know where to look first. Funny thing was Tottenham had Leicester 1-0 at home 70 odd minutes gone and I'm sitting pretty all they need to do is see it out and I would have $1000 going into Murray for the Aus Open and YEP you guessed it they fall over all I could do was laugh.

It definately has opened it up for Pool and Arsenal, but even we have a replay plus I got excited thinking United were gone so there is still Palace, Hammers, Leicester but you would love to see maybe Blackburn or Middlesbrough or even Bradford get a crack at it.

Like you said Love the FA CUP.
