The FA Cup Thread

[Manly]

Favourite moment of the year so far.

 

[madmusician]

Brilliant. For those who don't know, the manager of Leeds is Simon Grayson - brother of Paul Grayson, former player and now coach of Essex CCC.

Favourite moment of the year so far.

It's been like 3 days.

It's been like 3 days.

And? Nothing's topped it so far...

I din't even see the game but am still smiling.

Didn't you get beat 4-0 by lower league opposition two months ago?

 

[Auwais]

Didn't you get beat 4-0 by lower league opposition two months ago?

And they had a second leg to turn the deficit around, at home, which they failed to do.

@evo - I quite fancy Forest in the 4th round. If Reading can finish the job this will be the best third round ever!

I wasn't smiling then. Atleast we dint lose at home.

 

[Auwais]

Scad consolation, eh?

 

[Englishandproud]

Do any of you feel that the F.A. Cup has slightly lost it's magic?

At the end of the day last weekend was saved by that Manchester United v Leeds United result as there were no other shocks as in previous years.

 

[Auwais]

No. They've been plenty of shocks in recent years.

Everton beating us on penalties in the semis last season, as well as Portsmouth (and Martin Atkinson) screwing us out of another treble the season before.

Barnsley's run to the semis in 2008 that included beating Liverpool at Anfield and Chelsea along the way.

Djimi Traore's comical own goal that helped Burnley knock out Liverpool in the third round in 2005 etc etc.

Reading knocking Liverpool out tonight at Anfield, after going a goal down. Feel a bit better about Utd being out now - at least we've still got a lot to go for, unlike Liverpool, whose season is over (come on, they're not going to win the UEFA Cup)

 

[mattfb]

We are a joke. A tweaking joke.

 

[Ayub 95]

We are a joke. A fliping joke.

Damn right you are Matto. Gerrard and Torres are injured again :laugh. Gotta love this now
