Received top billing cos a Welshman scored a sensational winner

Its a fair point AE but it isn't just this one game where the BBC leads with non-Prem football... and I still don't think Bale scoring the winner should overshadow important Premiership games. Anyway, tis my personal opinion, it just annoys me!

Guess thats the way the media does things.
Before Andy Murray won anything he was referred to as an underachieving SCOT by the media. After the Olympics and Wimbledon he was considered a brilliant BRIT.

Englander that's your opinion and you are entitled to it
I'm just saying they went with headline coz it was a cup final with two big teams
And let's not forget who scored the winner??

Liverpool will choke at Norwich .... and at Anfield against Chelsea.

once again back at Chelsea after an absent of 6 years .......JM captures the Premier League.

Thanks KR, very generous of you < Are you British?
I know what you are saying and have covered part of it with AE, I just think it is fundamentally wrong and, although the Premiership is flooded with foreigners, I always think the Premiership, on the BBC above all others, must take precedence. Sad day when football fans in the UK are more interested in a Spanish game than one in their own back yard. But, as you say, tis just my opinion and others no doubt think differently.

Liverpool last 4 results against Norwich are 3-0. 5-0, 5-2 and 5-1

No they wont lose at Norwich. More likely that they will win by at least 4

I've already covered his opening post, its the Premiership so anything can happen, the likelihood is as CnC says but then I had City to win 5-0 last night. I don't think they will choke because I think they are on a jolly roller coaster ride, probably playing well above themselves and that could give them a huge advantage. But, as that implies, I am far from convinced they are a great side, indeed I look at their team and then the table with some incredulity, and that could make them vulnerable on any given day. Irrespective of the final placings though, choke or no choke, the only person imo who should come close to Brendan Rogers for Manager of the Year is Pulis and he hasn't been at Palace that long. Which, considering the number of calls last season etc calling for Rogers to be sacked, just shows what rubbish is talked sometimes.

@Englander, out of curiosity what defines a great team?
