First team to win the cup and go down in the same season (me thinks)... beats our 1983 effort.

They are not down yet. If I was a Geordie, I'd be very worried.

Well done Wigan - the better team all the way through the FA Cup Final even before they had a man advantage!!

Can't stand Whelan - but his team thoroughly deserved that today. City's big-time charlies were absolutely pathetic.

Taxi for Mancini.

Can stand armchair fans who somehow feel that the Premier Leagues' purity is affected by small clubs who just survive each season.

I'd rather watch them everyday than fantasy soccer ball teams brought together by a billionaire's small change.

The magic of the cup alive today although some would rather see it dead. Sorry if it interrupted any ones soccer season'

Yeah, I forgot for some reason you hate them. What's your beef with them Elephant?

I hate everything about the club. I liked them when they went up initially, it was a nice story. Not any more. They have been lucky year on year (apart from when Bruce was the manager and they were a good team) and, frankly, I am sick of Dave Whelan being paraded around.

Their FA Cup run involved two tough games. A 5 minute spell settled it at Everton and a red card and poor marking from a corner settled the final. Just goes to prove it is FAR better to be lucky than gifted.

Congratulations Wigan on winning the FA Cup. Now get relegated and let's not hear from you again.

You probably wouldn't say that if some geezer came blew a billion on us as they have City.
