CJ Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 Well, yesterday threw up some unexpected results with superb wins for Portsmouth and more especially Barnsley and today looks to be following suit with Cardiff leading Middlesbrough 2-0 at half time. If that result stays as is we will have 3 non premiership teams in the semis with a guarantee of at least one in the final. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As an aside, what sort of odds did they give you on that? I wonder if Jake had money on Pompey yesterday? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marbleapple Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 I was pleased and gutted that barnsley won yesterday. I'm pleased they won but Look North had been going on about Barnsley all week and it was driving me mad... Looks like it will continue.

I watched it at a bar on Kos yesterday after seeing the 2 rugby games before. Not a bad way to spend a Saturday afternoon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SUPRASUZUKI Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 I'm not bothered who we get, but it would be good to get a ticket! I was at Old Trafford yesterday and I wasn't impressed with Portsmouth TBH. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pot Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 It's certainly been an unusual weekend, and fair play to Cardiff, Pompey and Barnsley... I was out in Bridlington last night and bumped into some Barnsley fans who were at the game, I pointed out I'm a Liverpool fan as I congratulated them, fair play, they're over the moon, and they should be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPRASUZUKI Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 If I wasn't a WBA fan I'd be backing Barnsley all the way. Any Championship team that beats Liverpool and Chelski along the way deserve to win the cup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
