Talk: FA Cup
From open-encyclopedia.com - the free encyclopedia.
Thank you 212.67.109.240 for the implicit compliment of removing "this deserves more". I still think that there's quite a lot more to say, though. --rbrwr
Message to 66.9.236.210. I've found no reference to War World Cup of 1940 in which West Ham defeated Blackburn Rovers 1-0, so I have removed it. If you have a source for this information please enlighten us. Mintguy
- I'll take you up on that, Mintguy - it was actually the Football League War Cup. Here's a Google search for you. It seems to have been one of a number of wartime competitions: it was played again in 1941 with Preston winning, but after that it seems to have been replaced by regional competitions. It's probably worthy of a little article, but it's not the FA Cup and doesn't belong in the big list. --rbrwr
- Well done!! BTW good work on this article. I'd made some half hearted effort on it, but it was a big project and I got bored. Mintguy
Why are some of the results in the table in bold type? Bob Palin 00:29, 19 Jan 2004 (UTC)
- The winners in those seasons also won the Football League championship (or, in recent years, the FA Premier League) thus completing the Double. I've highlighted the explanation of this in the text of the article. --rbrwrˆ
- Thanks, I hadn't realized there were so many doubles in recent years. Wouldn't it be more intuitive to just highlight the winning team's name? I'd be happy to make the edit if you agree. Bob Palin 17:17, 20 Jan 2004 (UTC)
