FA Cup 2024/25

Yep except I reckon city v Salford might get on the telly too.

Poor city must be desperate for a win and this might just give them it.

It will be interesting to see what sort of team they put out for this. They are likely to put a fringe/U21 team out, with a few first team subs on the bench in case it's going pear shaped.

Which is a shame.

Reading made 8 changes to the team against Step 7 Harborough, and nearly got their arses handed to them. It might be entertaining if City tried something similar.

It will certainly be a better side than the u/21 team they put out for the EFL trophy. They have lost a couple of those games this year though, from my limited reading of the results, League 1 and 2 sides tend to prevail in that competition anyway.

Portsmouth at home, I'll settle for that but it's also another game in the schedule. Got to manage the EFL Cup too.

Dagenham draw apparently causing concern a few West Ham idiots might use it as an excuse for a chance to have a go at Millwall.

Please get Ian Rush as a pundit on the Liverpool - Accrington game.

I'll take Tamworth because I like watching the matches in the smaller grounds.

Chances of a Man U v Man C final for the 3rd year running are, shall we say, slim after the Arsenal v Man U game the other night.

Yeah - I know what you mean. Although Amorin has about 8 fixtures ahead of that cup game.
Hoping that United will be in a better shape by then..
Mind you two of those fixtures are against Man City and Liverpool!

These days I can really take or leave the final. The rounds to date and the up and coming ones are great

Aye, I'm the same. Even though I'm still just about a Man U fan, I forget it was on the telly last year.

All about the FA Trophy this year; nil nil away at the Iron at the marvellously named Rare Breed Meat Co. Stadium

 

[JimW]

All to play for, we're into the wind this first half.

 

[technical]

Our 3rd round game (plus a load of others) has been shifted to a 6pm Saturday kick off for overseas broadcast. So much for considering the supporters who actually want to go to the match.

The magic of the FA cup. Not.

Hope Liverpool Accrington's on telly. Be a nice gesture if the mega clubs donate the tv moneys.

They should get that kid from the 80s milk advert on the pitch, at half time. (Not his mate, though, apparently he's currently in prison for murder.)
