Reply to this ASAP if you're interested in getting a roundtable-style article together about our favourite FA Cup Moments before the big final.

Mine's in the style of a parody (as per-usual in Weird Dave Yankovic's world).

Let me know immediately and we'll get together with the likes of Willie too.

Thanks.

David.

I am surprised by the number of people who actually want to reserve the right to bad-mouth their teams! I offer constructive criticism, of course, but one in particular wants to be able to say, "they suck," if they do.

I don't get it. Will YOU take the pledge?
