The FA cup, a competition renowned for allowing the smallest clubs in England to fight for the chance to be crowned the best in the country, is unlikely to produce any further Cinderella stories this season. After Fulham's 2-1 win over Swansea City this afternoon, now only 3 of the remaining 13 teams are not in the premiership. And to add insult to injury, only one of those three teams is guaranteed a spot in the sixth round (Coventry). What's more is that Coventry must now take on Chelsea, Burnley will likely lose to Arsenal, and then Arsenal will eliminate the last of the non-prem sides Sheffield United. What I am trying to say is don't look to the FA cup if you are dying to see a lowly team defy all odds and lift the FA cup. It just ain't goin' to happen.
