FA Cup Updates

Cole might be dropped
Ashley Cole has reportedly been dropped from the Chelski team for Saturday's FA Cup final by Jose Mourinho. The Evening Standard claims that the well-paid full-back has suffered the 'heartbreak' of being left out in favour of Wayne Bridge. Ronaldo might be grinning at this possibility.

Sir Alex wants to avoid shoot-outs
Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has revealed he fears losing another FA Cup final on penalties. "You know my record with penalties - diabolical I think you'd say," Ferguson said. "We just have to hope it does not get to that stage."

Ferguson has also come off second best in three other penalty shoot-outs.
In 1984 his Aberdeen side went out of the European Cup 5-4 on penalties to Dynamo Berlin.
And since taking over as United boss in 1986 he has finished on the losing side in three competitive shoot-outs.
Arsenal midfielder Patrick Vieira scored the winning penalty in 2005 after United had dominated the final.
Ferguson's side lost to Southampton 4-2 on penalties in an FA Cup tie in 1992 and went out of the Uefa Cup away to Torpedo Moscow later that year after going down 4-3 on penalties.
