Could former Oasis guitarist Noel Gallagher write a song for the FA Cup final for Manchester City supporters?
According to a Sunday newspaper, Noel is hinting that he's writing a charity song for support for Manchester City saying "If they asked seriously I don’t know. Let’s wait till they ask". It's reported that Ricky Hatton and Johnny Marr and other famous Manchester City supporters might be in line to be in the song. Meanwhile, Stoke City supporters are apparently in talks with Welsh singer Tom Jone to revamp the 1968 hit 'Delilah', popular with supporters. The FA Cup Final takes place on May 15th at Wembley Stadium.

Other draws included Arsenal v Cardiff and another home draw for the non-league Kettering who will host Fulham.
If anyone is interested in a long shot, Blyth Spartans are still in the competition and are 20,000-1 odds on to win. Probably worth a pound I'd say?As Liverpool were pulled out of the draw I thought to myself "Everton would be an... more

Cardiff fell short of going the full distance this afternoon after a first half goal by Kanu led Porstmouth to victory in their first FA cup final in 69 years.
"It's fantastic for everybody - my family, the players, it's great," said the Portsmouth manager Harry Redknapp. "It has been a difficult year off the field so to win the FA Cup is a dream come true. Cardiff were putting us under pressure, putting balls in the box, they played well and worked hard.
When we get in front we're difficult to break down and the defence were terrific."Cardiff fell short of going the full distance this afternoon after a first half goal... more
