Chelsea Won't Be Winning The FA Cup, Either
Rough season at Stamford Bridge for the Chelsea Football Club. The Blues are sitting in fifth place in the EPL after winning the league last year.

• Liverpool wins the FA Cup. Well, that one had to suck, if you're a West Ham fan. The Hammers were up by two goals in the final game for the championship of all of England... only to see Steven Gerrard score from way out in the 90th minute to the tie the game.
