I remember reading somewhere that Cardiff couldn't take an English UEFA Cup bid because it's Welsh. Is Cardiff eligible for the UEFA Cup if it wins?

Well done Barnsley you deserved it and you are going to Wembley..... now unless you are a national of a foreign land living in England that knows a little bit about football.... The 'New' Wembley Stadium has a capacity of 90,000 of which 17,000 are automatically reserved for 'Corporate City,' who have paid mega money for a seat at Wembley, for any game that is played. Now we have Barnsley v Cardiff and Portsmouth v WBA in the FA show piece semi-finals to be held at Wembley during the first weekend of April - my question is will 'Corporate City,' turn up and whoever plays in the final will 'Corporate City,' turn up again. No disrespect to the four teams who are in the semi's, they are there on merit, the FA must be killing themselves for announcing that FA Cup semi-finals will be played at Wembley. Well they gotta recoup the £900m that was spent - thats why a burger and chips costs nearly £8. Good luck to ALL the fans - make sure you got loads of £50 notes on yer!!!

This is what the FA Cup is all about, and I hope it does shut up some of the Cup's detractors. This is turning out to be a legendary year in the long history of the tournament, and just about everyone except big four fans has to be happy about it. Fantastic.
