Eleven Nobel laureates are not going to win the FA Cup.
Alex Ferguson (Leading: Lessons in leadership from the legendary Manchester United manager)
You know, you spend your childhood watching TV, assuming that at some point in the future everything you see will one day happen to you: that you too will win a Formula One race, hop a train, foil a group of terrorists, tell someone 'Give me the gun', etc. Then you start secondary school, and suddenly everyone's asking you about your career plans and your long-term goals, and by goals they don't mean the kind you are planning to score in the FA Cup. Gradually the awful truth dawns on you: that Santa Claus was just the tip of the iceberg - that your future will not be the rollercoaster ride you'd imagined,that the world occupied by your parents, the world of washing dishes, going to the dentist, weekend trips to the DIY superstore to buy floor-tiles, is actually largely what people mean when they speak of 'life'.
Paul Murray (Skippy Dies)
We took 9000 fans to The Emirates to play Arsenal in the quarter-finals of the FA Cup, and we sang non-stop. But the place is a bloody library! About every twenty minutes or so their 40,000 crowd would half-heartedly sing their Ars-suh-nul song, and to encourage them we’d give them a round of applause. But even that didn’t work. Whatever we did we couldn’t give their fans the much-needed boost they evidently needed to support their own team
Karl Wiggins (Gunpowder Soup)
For us it is not comparable, the FA Cup and Champions League,’ Arsène Wenger said before Arsenal played Leeds in the FA Cup. ‘The Champions League is compulsory. The FA Cup is something that is for enjoyment … The basis of our life at the top level is dictated by the championship. If we can add on top of that the FA Cup it is fantastic.
Nick Hornby (Pray: Notes on the 2011/2012 Football Season)
In her last weeks, she had mo­ments of lu­cid­ity, and I cher­ished them when I was around to talk to her. One of these con­ver­sa­tions hap­pened when it was just me and her in the hos­pi­tal room. ‘I sus­pect you will never have a hus­band,’ she said, look­ing at me in­tently from her bed. ‘Would you be up­set if that hap­pened?’ I asked. ‘Your mother would be,’ she said, then low­ered her voice. ‘But I think you would be wise not to.’ This sur­prised me as I had al­ways thought that she and my grand­fa­ther had been very happy to­gether. ‘Why do you say that?’ I asked. Her hand, spot­ted in soft-brown splodges, the rails of her bones pro­trud­ing, flapped gen­tly at me to take it. I cupped it in both of mine. ‘You have a home that is yours,’ she said. ‘And your own money. Don’t you?’ ‘I have a bit of money, yes.’ ‘And you have your ed­u­ca­tion. And you have your ca­reer.’ I nod­ded. ‘Then you have ev­ery­thing,’ she said.
Dolly Alderton (Good Material)
Cerquem del goig el fàcil escorrim, la falsetat lluent se'ns encomana, i, tement cap paraula sobirana, l'ànima taciturna defugim. Però tot nèctar en el vas de rim, duració en perfum i en transparència es fa en el cup de la completa essència, amb delits i recances que oprimim.
Josep Carner (Els fruits saborosos)
You know, you spend your childhood watching TV, assuming that at some point in the future everything you see there will one day happen to you: that you too will win a Formula One race, hop a train, foil a group of terrorists, tell someone 'Give me the gun', etc. Then you start secondary school, and suddenly everyone's asking you about your career plans and your long-term goals, and by goals they don't mean the kind you are planning to score in the FA Cup. Gradually the awful truth dawns on you: that Santa Claus was just the tip of the iceberg — that your future will not be the rollercoaster ride you'd imagined, that the world occupied by your parents, the world of washing the dishes, going to the dentist, weekend trips to the DIY superstore to buy floor-tiles, is actually largely what people mean when they speak of 'life'. Now, with every day that passes, another door seems to close, the one marked PROFESSIONAL STUNTMAN, or FIGHT EVIL ROBOT, until as the weeks go by and the doors — GET BITTEN BY SNAKE, SAVE WORLD FROM ASTEROID, DISMANTLE BOMB WITH SECONDS TO SPARE — keep closing, you begin to hear the sound as a good thing, and start closing some yourself, even ones that didn't necessarily need to be closed.
Paul Murray (Skippy Dies)
That promotion is satisfactory. Yes, Liverpool Football Club are back in the First Division. Back in the Big League. But that is only where Liverpool Football Club belong. Only where they should have been all along. In the First Division, in the Big League. So the next time you come bearing gifts, bringing presents, it will be because we've won the Big League. Because Liverpool Football Club have won the First Division. And the FA Cup. And the European Cup. And every cup there is to win. Because only that will be satisfactory, gentlemen. When Liverpool Football Club have won everything there is to win, when Liverpool Football Club have conquered the world. Only that will be enough.
David Peace (Red or Dead)
CONGS CATASTROPHE In their primal gladiatorial tourney N. Baddesley jousting on their own bailiwick encountered the full and furious blast of Steeple Sinderby's New Look Lads spearheaded by Sid Swift, long-lost Shooting Star idol of Brum fans a handful of time ago. The Ringers clocked up eleven strikes and only the inexorable march of time muffled a full peal of twelve.
J.L. Carr (How Steeple Sinderby Wanderers Won the FA Cup)
The players’ council – Lahm, Schweinsteiger, Per Mertesacker and Klose – invited the entire DFB (German FA) delegation to ‘sweat for the trophy’ in the hotel’s ‘event sauna’, a vast space holding eighty people. Bierhoff: ‘The 2014 Sauna World Cup winner was there – no, I didn’t know there was such a thing, either – and he performed a show with music and strobe lights, waving towels around. We were in there with sixty men. Every player, every staff member, symbolically sweating together for this World Cup. That was an amazing idea by the players. It

Billy Meredith is the oldest player ever to represent the club. He appeared for the club at the ripe old age of 49 years 245 days against Newcastle United in the FA Cup on 29th March 1924.
Chris Carpenter (Manchester City Quiz Book: 2024/25 Season Edition)
From a lifetime of buying cheap other folks' enterprise and energy and selling it off dear, Sir Edward knew all there is to know about riding winners on someone else's back.
J.L. Carr (How Steeple Sinderby Wanderers Won the F.A. Cup)
In rural England, people live wrapped tight in a cocoon; only their eyes move to make sure nobody gets more than themselves. Popular education has not touched them; they communicate as their fathers did by a flick of the eyeballs, passing down grudges either improve upon or, at very least, in mint condition, from generation to generation.

Miliardi e Mondiali La macchina da soldi che non conosce soste L’ultimo caso per la federazione la scelta di Russia e Qatar Giulia Zonca | 824 parole Trovare l’uomo chiave dell’operazione Fifapulita è praticamente impossibile. Troppi soldi, troppe mazzette vere o presunte e troppi giri d’affari concentrici che prima di chiamare denaro ne producono in abbondanza. La Fifa si basa su un sistema fatto di soldi, tanti dichiarati, incalcolabili quelli in nero, non tutti e non sempre sono spesi male, anzi, ma il circolo infinito di dollari che non conosce crisi crea un vortice in stile deposito di Zio Paperone dove avidità chiama altra avidità. E non c’è pace. Cambiare tutto La Fifa si ritrova nelle stesse condizioni in cui stava il Comitato olimpico prima degli scandali del 2002 e ora se vuole reggere dovrà fare la stessa mossa. La rivoluzione. Nuovi nomi e altre regole ma al momento il sistema Fifa si basa proprio sull’immutabilità, sul circolo chiuso, su un potere che resta sempre nelle stesse mani, garantisce a tutti grandi introiti e visto dall’interno funziona benissimo. Ogni uomo preso con le mani nella marmellata sa che verrà abbandonato, però sa anche che fino a lì vivrà alla grande. La perdita di credibilità non è mai sembrata un problema al governo di pallone. Ogni voce considerata frottola, ogni frode un male inevitabile ed arginabile. Il pantano perpetuo. L’inchiesta dell’Fbi parte dal 1991 e traccia una scia di bigliettoni che rimbalzano dai conti alle Cayman, girano sulle banche di Hong Kong e tornano in Svizzera. Fondi alleggeriti e pronti ad altro uso. Il mondo del pallone ha dichiarato 4,826 miliardi di dollari di incasso dall’ultimo quadriennio mondiale. Già: la parola magica che attira sponsor, apre porte, unge canali ed evidentemente fa dimenticare ogni decenza. Non è solo la manifestazione più vista al mondo a solleticare scambi illeciti, dentro il calderone della frode denunciato dall’accusa americana ci sono Confederations Cup, tornei minori, pacchetti di diritti tv e persino la Coppa America del 2016 che si gioca proprio negli Stati Uniti. Al Bureau non hanno indagato a caso. La doppia assegnazione Lo scandalo più evidente e cristallino resta l’assegnazione dei Mondiali 2018-2022, doppio pacco per essere sicuri di mescolare abbastanza le carte e sovrapporre gli illeciti. La confusione e la molteplicità degli interessi in ballo è sempre lo sfondo in cui si muove la Fifa. L’edizione 2018 è andata alla Russia e quella del 2022 al Qatar, voto segreto deciso da 22 persone: dovevano essere 24 ma due erano già tagliati fuori da un’inchiesta di corruzione. Tanto per capire. E qui siamo agli atti non alle speculazioni. Sempre fatti concreti escono dal rapporto Garcia, una memoria investigativa seguita alle proteste per quei Mondiali assegnati in modo così strano. I conti non tornavano a nessuno il che significa che hanno provato a farli tutti e che il famoso voto di scambio, di cui ci si preoccupava all’inizio del dicembre 2010, era davvero in atto. Doveva esserci un asse Inghilterra-Australia, uno Spagna-Portogallo-Qatar: tu muovi consensi per il 2018, io per il 2022 e siamo tutti contenti. Era già molto al limite però almeno non ancora fraudolento. Peccato che il giochino sia scoppiato perché sono intervenuti fattori esterni. Le bustarelle. L’indagine censurata L’indifferente Blatter ha tentato di mostrarsi magnanimo. Ha varato una commissione etica, ci ha messo dentro Michael Garcia, ex procuratore federale americano, e qui parte il labirinto. Garcia ha redatto un rapporto, mai reso noto ufficialmente, la Fifa ne ha prodotto una sintesi e ha concluso che non c’era stata manipolazione nel voto. Garcia ha rigettato la tesi e ha dato le dimissioni. Vi gira la testa? Chiaro, i nonsense si rincorrono e la trasparenza è impossibile perché la Fifa è uno statuto autonomo, risponde solo a se stessa. Non ha pubblicato gli esiti dell’indagine e la normale conseg

Miller had accepted the plaudits with his customary modesty: holding both arms aloft and punching the air like he'd just snogged a supermodel or scored the winner in the dying seconds of the FA cup final
Mark Billingham (The Wrong Hands (Detective Miller #2))
Bob Pennington – who still didn’t rate Edwards as a centre-forward – believed that Busby’s decade-long desires may well be proven correct. “Of course you can’t win the European Cup, the FA Cup, and the League championship in one season,” he wrote. “Of course it is impossible. But you still left Portsmouth believing that Matt Busby’s dream of this triple triumph can be achieved.

6. It’s raining; it’s too cold; it’s too dark; it’s too windy We live in one of the worst climates for rain. But look at it this way, neither the FA Cup Final nor the London Marathon get cancelled because of the rain. Rain is no impediment whatsoever to a run. In many ways it is a bonus feature. There is nothing quite like the feeling you get if you stick two fingers up to the worst of the elements and just run. The world rewards you for your efforts by making you look ten times rosier than after a run in less arduous conditions and leaves you feeling like you could climb Everest. Dress appropriately and go for it. I promise you, when you have done this once you will never use the weather excuse again.
Ruth Field (Run Fat Bitch Run)
1892 is not only an ordinary date, but it is the time of existence of a football giant, a rare legend of the 21st century that does not smell of blood and tears. It is the date of birth of a team which wrote a history that not only must be read, but must also be memorized. A little after its foundation, it became the nightmare of first the Premier League clubs and then other clubs around the World. There was no team it didn’t defeat and no fun group it didn’t upset. Within 125 years, it won 18 league championships, 5 European cups, 7 FA cups, 8 league cups, 3 UEFA Super Cups, 15 Charity Shield Cups, ve 3 FA Youth Cups. As the club began to win cups, it got richer and its support group expanded. It conquered the hearts of about 600 million people around the World, its name and its song was chanted everyday by its supporters. Joy and sorrow, night and day, death and life always follow each other like victory and defeat. By the early 1990s the ship began to leak. Its popularity diminished around the World as it weakened and its opponents strengthened. That made its management hopeless, its supporters sad and its players pressured. Infrequent derby victories became only a consolation and past memories and childish dreams became the only sanctuary for its supporters. However its love has never ceased and will not. Because it is not only a football team, it is an excitement, a desire for victory, a passion, a love. Yes, it is a love, a red-white love. And this book is a message thrown into the ocean of the future within a bottle to highlight the expectations and dreams of lovers of red-white colors. Will the bottle reach the shore, will anyone read its message, will the message mean anything for the people? No one can predict this.

It could produce the most extraordinary consequences, as the life of C. B. Fry demonstrates. The son of a chief accountant at Scotland Yard, he had played in the FA Cup before he left Repton School in 1890 and appeared for Surrey county cricket team in the time between school and university (Oxford, inevitably, and the top scholarship at Wadham College). By the time of his graduation, he had represented the university at cricket, soccer and athletics, tied the world long-jump record at 23 feet 6½ inches, and only missed playing wing three-quarter for the Oxford rugby team because of injury. He managed, in passing, to win a first in classics.

To win the FA Cup at Wembley made the good times roll. But on the morning after our victory, one newspaper declared: ‘OK, you’ve proved you can win the FA Cup, now go back to Scotland.’ I never forgot that.
Alex Ferguson (ALEX FERGUSON: My Autobiography: The Sensational Million Copy Number One Bestseller)
But it’s over. It’s over and you know it- No League Championships. No FA Cups. No European Cups- The roar and the whistle. The applause and the adoration- Finished forever. Second best. Forever.

I Thought My Nest Egg Was Immobile Permanently! Overseas travel is glamorous until you are at 37,000 feet, trying to cope with different time zones, airport security queues, and dodgy Wi-Fi that cannot even open an email, never mind providing your future funding. I had stashed $890,000 of Bitcoin away as my retirement nest egg, a nest egg made of decades of hard work. That sense of security evaporated in thin air when I replaced my phone and forgot to update the two-factor authentication settings on my wallet. Somewhere across the Atlantic, turbulence rattled the plane, but the real storm was the panic in my chest when I realized that I could not access my wallet. Tired and flustered, I arrived with the dread realization that my virtual fortune was now as out of reach as the stars in the sky. The frustration mounted as I hopscotched from airport to airport. Customer service droids, robot call centers, and half-baked solutions had me addressing vending machines instead of human beings. That was before a layover in Singapore where, bleary-eyed and clutching my third cup of coffee, I chanced upon a travel vlogger's YouTube video raving about Tech Cyber Force Recovery. With nothing to lose, I called. From the first message itself, it was different. These were actual people, smart, caring, and willing to work around my insane schedule. They scheduled calls during my layovers and adjusted to the chaos of traveling overseas like pros. Their engineers delved deep into my issue, analyzing time-stamped authentication records. It was as if watching a digital detective movie, minus the stakes: my future. For over 14 hair-on-end days, they weathered the 2FA bug like pilots navigating through turbulence. Then the message came: Access restored. All the Bitcoins were present. I almost cried into my airport ramen. That weight was lifted from my shoulders, and the feeling that all those years of careful planning weren't wasted, was indescribable. telegram +1 561 726 36 97 WhatsApp +1 561 726 36 97
