Platt living FA Cup dream, again Manchester City coach David Platt believes the FA Cup still holds a special place in the hearts of English supporters.
City defeated Chelsea 2-1 on Sunday to reach the showpiece final with Wigan on May 11, a result Platt believes is huge in the context of the season.

K-League wrap: Steelers go top The Pohang Steelers moved to the top of the K-League after beating Gangwon 3-0 at the Gangneung Stadium on Tuesday.
Goals from Ko Mu-Yeol, Park Seong-Ho and Moon Chang-Jin sealed an ultimately comfortable win for the away side against cellar dwellers Gangwon.
The Steelers have 15 points, but have played a game more than their closest rival the Suwon Blue Wings, who could reclaim top spot if they beat Busan I'Park on Wednesday.
Pohang took an 18th-minute lead when a free-kick from the right was directed in by Ko Mu-Yeol.
The home side missed a great chance to equalise shortly after but Brazilian forward Patrick shoot wide.

Lambert praises Villa faithful Paul Lambert says the Aston Villa fans are helping his side achieve Premier League survival as the season draws to a close.
Villa are only one place outside the relegation zone, but are level on points with both Sunderland and Stoke who lie in 15th and 16th.
The Midlands side have won three and drawn four of their last five games and Lambert believes this good form is due, in no small part, to the continued passion of the fans.
"That we have remained so vibrant and assertive into the second half of the season - and now into the latter stages - is in no small measure down to the fans," the Scot told the club's official website.

Cup success vital for Stramaccioni´s future A place in the Coppa Italia final is not the only thing riding on Inter Milan's match against Roma on Wednesday.

Reports suggest the Inter coach is on the way out but Stramaccioni said he doesn't think his job will depend solely on Wednesday's result.
"At the end of June the president will analyse the whole season and judge it, but I don't think that my future will depend on tomorrow's game," Stramaccioni said.
"My future and everyone else's future will be judged at the end of June for w
