The F.A.Cup thread

[Peter Parka]

Good on Crawley! Ok, I know it was only Torquay, this time but the're the first non league team in the fifth round for 17 years!

I meant shame that Coventry never quite beat the Brums, though it was looking promising :24:

the good thing that came out of it is that we can compete to a certain degree and both goals were text book finishes.....a low shot to the far post and a powerful header headed down

If there's a few things I learnt last night from the man u match, they are:

Owen and Hernandez are great finishers.
Anderson is without a doubt the worst brazilian I have ever seen.

 

[Springsteen]

That would be true, only....

Full name Lucas Pezzini Leiva
Date of birth 9 January 1987 (age 24)
Place of birth Dourados, Brazil

Plus you forget the marvelous talents of Roque Junior.

 

[Zorak]

nah lucas is better than anderson.

i don't think anderson hit a single pass on target all game. he's quite literally, rubbish.

 

[Springsteen]

I thought he struggled with the midfield three in the first half, Gibson was far worse though, who ought to be sold. I think he benefits more from playing with a defensive midfielder because he's not that good having to move up and down the field.

Huddersfield have just deservedly equalised at the Emirates.

Southampton ran the game until man utd could get nani on and release some of wide potential. The three in midfield almost hindered one another, even scholes was wasteful in possession most of the game.

Forgot the Arsenal match was on, what's the score?

 

[Springsteen]

1-1 at the moment. If this goes to a replay it will have to be played on fifth round day.

 

[Tuffdisc]

Arsenal should be whipping them =/

 

[Springsteen]

Should be but Huddersfield haven't given up and fully deserve this draw.

 

[Tuffdisc]

No doubt on that

 

[Springsteen]

Penalty to Arsenal....

Fabregas steps up....

2-1. That should do it.

 

[skyblue]

i hope its arsenal v united in the 5th round

 

[Peter Parka]

No fucking streams for West Ham v Nottingham Forest as it isn't being shown live on any tv station in the world. Having to listen on 5 live. Sears just had a good chance apparently, already. Oh, Obinna has just scored in the 3rd minute! COYI!!!:banana2:

 

[Springsteen]

We'd beat them as per usual.

Nice pitch City have to play on here I see, Notts share the ground with a Rugby team.

 

[Peter Parka]

Typical! The one rare occasion where no one in the world is showing the West Ham match so no streams, I listen on 5 live, 1-0 in 3 minutes, so far so good, have to pop out and pick someone up, get home in time for the last 15 minutes, 3-2 to us after 2-1 down and Obinna gets a hat trick! Just ended, phew! Lets hope for a good home draw in the next round in a few minutes. COYI!!!

 

[Peter Parka]

First out of the bag! Home to Burnley, nice tie!

 

[Peter Parka]

Man Utd at home to Crawley, that's got to be on telly! Would be the mother of all FA cup shocks if Crawley were to win that! Nice pay day for them, anyway!

 

[Tuffdisc]

Wow, West Ham still in the cup, must be their season :24:

 

[Tuffdisc]

Come on Crawley
