FA Cup 2024/25

[Boo Radley75]

What's with that man of the match award? It looks like a cheap bit of moulded plastic. Think I'd have preferred a big bottle of champagne.

Exeter home in next round to forest
Looks like palace will do ok...away at Doncaster....phew

 

[Aaronf]

Could be Charlton v Wycombe 4th Round

 

[Riklet]

Man Utd are back!

Until they get beat by Southampton 2-0 anyway

 

[Petcha]

Off the field, Theo Walcott looks and sounds like a pretty good pundit there. Where have they been hiding him?

 

[Rebelda]

Great draw for the next round. Leeds away (so long as we beat West Ham Dagenham and Redbridge tomorrow night. Edit: look out for me on telly, I'll be there ) for Millwall. Had me up cheering, the dog is very upset

Almost more importantly though, imagine if the mighty Os somehow beat Derby on Tuesday. They'd have Man City at home!

Edit: I should add, had Millwall drawn any championship side other than Leeds (IFHL) I'd be gutted and moaning. Ideally they field their kids, with their focus on promotion, we win and draw Chelsea in the next round.

 

[Petcha]

Zirkzee's goal celebration is highly dubious. Firing a pretend machine gun into the crowd Maybe should be rethought. Also don't know why players are yellow carded for taking their shirts off to celebrate but Fernandes got away with booting the shit out of an ad hoarding while on a yellow card already. For throwing his boot at the ref.

 

[Wilf]

They shall refer to it as The Battle of Tamworth Field in the history books yet to be written.

Im switching over to Arsenal United.

It's on BBC iplayer in case anyone didnt realise.

Worth remembering Tamworth's finances would have e been boosted with a replay had it not been from the shithousery of the elite clubs.

 

[stavros]

Why are Arsenal playing in white?

Why were Spurs in sky blue? White shirts do not clash with Tamworth's black and red.

After outplaying City in last year's final are United now a Cup team?

 

[two sheds]

And why oh why were the Arsenal players' numbers in a very very very light blue? A very very very light blue that was indistinguishable from white on most cameras and hence illegible. I put this and other disgraceful injustices in the world down to designers being asked to do something with no knowledge of the subject or care for the effects, and no checking by people with both

Estimated at between £800-900k . For all the talk about EPL teams and too many games being the reason to scrap replays this was actually Tamworths 33rd game and Spur's 31st.

 

[Lotte]

Just heard some brilliantly childish banter: "Solanke, why're you so lanky?"

He always makes me think of solyanka. Dominic Soup.

 

[editor]

Excellent rant against how Tamworth were cheated out of a replay.



Oh and fuck the Premiership.

 

[Lotte]

Why did the replays get scrapped? Premier League clubs complaining about fixture congestion?

ETA: the video explained everything. PL clubs always get what they want. If the CL only let actual champions in instead of the top 4, and we didn't have all these extra leagues and competitions, then the PL clubs wouldn't have all these extra games.

The TV Executives will be fighting for the rights to show that fixture of the ages!

I'm all for more destruction of advertising hoardings myself.

I think it was political.

The modern ones certainly. The flashing adverts are so annoying.

Does anyone know which will be shown on the box?
Donny V Palace is a chance of a "giant" killing.

As far as I can tell it hasn't decided yet. Plymouth-Liverpool will almost certainly get a screening, and Villa-Spurs and Brighton-Chelsea probably too.

Leeds-Milwall could be good.

Leeds-Milwall could be good.

My footie days go back a long way. I remember when those two sets of supporters were amongst the worst in the land and the match could only have ended one way. Around the '70s I saw Palace win 0-1 at elland road. We had to walk right though the middle of the crowd coming out of the home end. Scared the shit out of me.

 

[Puddy_Tat]

meh

concentrating on the league

meh

You jinxed it.

Why? They regularly play each other in the league and due to police requirements milwall will only take a few hundred there.

THEY ONLY WENT AND FUCKING DID IT! Leyton orient v man city. Now that's an FA cup draw <3

 

[orient slacker]

Heh, heh. O's wont be complaining too much about the no Cup replays rule this year: R1: win on pens AET. R2: Win in AET after last gasp goal by our keeper saves our bacon. R3: win on pens again AET.

Last time O's played Man City was 1966 (and 99 years ago in the Cup).

 

[Aaronf]

You jinxed it.

Sorry!
