In the aftermath of Saturday’s shocking 1-0 home dispatch of the zillionaires from West London, consider this : though having reached the semi-finals of the world’s eldest knockout competition for the first time in almost a century, Barnsley could become the first club to win the F.A. Cup and be relegated to what used to be known as the Third Division in the same campaign.
If Avram Grant requires consolation this morning, he can always remember that his squad holds no monopoly on underachievement.
I never really heard of barnsley until they beat liverpool, but watching them beat chelsea today had me on the verge of tears of joy. I think that just means I really hate chelsea, which is why i love watching the clip of john terry getting kicked in the face.
