FA Cup

[Jimbo]

Great watching Bradford fans going mental.

As you'd expect. This was their Munich moment

Good on them

Easy tiger

If Chelsea can get done by Bradford, Arsenal can get done at Brighton

Any team can win on any given day. But right now the biggest obstacles between us and a cup repeat is a stalling United and Liverpool. But of course any team is just 90 minutes from embarrassment.

Yep

I'd have Man United as favourites right now, with you guys second. But not by much

Big Sam says we're going for it this year.

Which means we will lose to Bristol tonight

 

[Flapper]

Reading with another away win, I think Steve Clarke is going to throw what little resources we have towards having a tilt at this, it isn't like we're getting promoted this season anyway!

I don't recall Chelsea scoring 4 goals in normal time in Munich ;-)

 

[Jimbo]

I don't recall Chelsea scoring 4 goals in normal time in Munich ;-)

I don't recall Bradford taking home a big trophy either

Your point?

 

[God-King Dean]

1-0 Hammers.

Bristol were the far better team. But we'll take it.

 

[Big Sam]

Only Cup shock of the day was Villa scoring. Twice.

Still makes me laugh..

2-4 at home after leading 2-0.

Awesome. Jose's dog would have been hiding when he got home.

 

[Mong]

1-0 Hammers.

Bristol were up for that game in a big way, recent years we would have lost that, probably by a couple.

Good win in the end.

You're right.

Our last Cup game Everton played better football as well, but we still got up.
Not ideal, but it's sign of a decent team to win, even when playing average.

Noble & Carroll's positioning in the goal saved the day.

 

[Mong]

The Everton game was 50/50 I thought.

 

[dogz08]

we played better when we went down to 10 men

 

[Mong]

Can't argue with that, they did well to rebound and eventually take the lead

 

[Big Sam]

Couple of interesting ties potentially:

Palace/Liverpool or Bolton
WBA/WHU
Preston or Sheff U/Man U or Cambridge
Arsenal/Boro
Villa/Leicester

 

[Mong]

Happy with the draw for Chelsea and Brentford.

:lol::lol:

 

[Mong]

Yeah, oh well we got 4 rounds further than we should have.
It was a laugh whilst it lasted.


On the draw, bad draw for Arsenal, Wenger needs a cup run at the moment.

The rest of the big prem teams have lower league clubs.
One usually goes out so I wonder which one it will be...

I'll go for Chelsea for no reason at all.

Should have put money on it

 

[Haffa]

Hope Sheffield United take it out from here.

 

[Big Sam]

Welcome back Haffa. Thought you had gone into permanent hiding.

You're back just in time to see that quadruple turn into a double.
