    Stephen Caulker has impressed me this preseason. Looks like a great signing for Cardiff.

    Unless your team has experienced this:

    Then please - take a chill pill, OK!

    Once a European Champion Always a European champion.

    In recent memory, only TWO OTHER EPL teams can relate to being European Champions: Man U and Chelsea. So much for being a SMALL FRY, I guess Chelsea and Man U are small fries, right? Right?

    Am done here!

    foreal??? there must of been more, we had 50,000 and there was 80,000 fans... though it looked like there was only 6,000 to be fair so wouldnt be suprised if thats all they brought down... considering they are in the championship now you think they would of jumped at a wembley day out against united...

    if he doesnt, its still one more than he would of got at arsenal L-)

    and i think the charity shield should be considered a major trophy really, the prem league winners v fa cup winners, in theory that should be united, city, liverpool, chelsea, arsenal playing each other... but the fact the fa cup is barely a major trophy these days its not surprised its not considered one...

    This needs to happen very soon. I want a signing/signings by Friday!!

    And the FA Cup is still a major trophy. After the CL, the FA Cup is the second best cup competition in the world.

    You serious??? The FA Cup gets more and more less prestigious every year, managers often now play their youth and fringe players in it, back in the day it was more important than the League... Ask your oldman, kids used to dream of winning the FA Cup not the League, even I dont get that excited about the FA Cup anymore, it lost its excitement when teams stopped taking it as serious... Best thing about it is the away days lower league teams get out of it...

    Reason being theres waaaaaaaaaaaaaay more money in the League/Prem and the Champions League, you could say Sky Sports and The Prem help ruin it... Even in the first few years of the Prem it was big, but every year Prem got more and more investment and the FA Cup became more of a hinderance to teams in there Prem and European campaigns...

    Obvious its still A major trophy, and The Charity Shield is not gonna be classed as one, I still it the first game after Pre Season, more its still (usually) a competitive game, ask City fans when they beat us in the final the other year if they thought it was a big deal...

    The FA cup can be important depending on the season you're having.

    Especially, if it gets to the point that it might be your only silverware that season.
