FA Cup 2017-18

[Corky]

Having seen a few of these ties this season (and previously), the League side tends to get stronger the longer the games goes on, think Fleetwood will win it eventually. 

[StanSP]

Cian Bolger scores to put Fleetwood up in the replay. I bet he'd love to play against us.

Bit stuck where to put this but Chelsea are away at Norwich on Saturday 5,30pm. Fairly 'high risk' right? 

 

They have been given just over 4,000 tickets.....seems like Chelsea were not 'high risk army'

Yeah but what you've got to remember is Norwich fans have never kicked over a bin on Fulham Broadway like they did outside the Market Tav (fairly certain that incident was the justification at the time?)

As an aside, I see James Hewitt's lad's been daft enough to put his wedding day on Cup final day...

Throwing temporary road signs and a bit of haris fencing off memory (when town was half dug up for new concrete paviors)

Swansea 4/1 to beat Wolves away. That's about as high as I've ever seen for a Prem team to beat a Championship​ team.

In fact we're shorter odds than a couple of Prem teams to beat League One sides. Madness. Especially since we always make just as many changes as the Prem team.

[Super_horns]

I reckon you will still beat Swansea if your up for it...and maybe have a decent cup run given your lead in the Championship so there isn't the massive pressure of a tight promotion/relegation battle.

 

The Leicester boys might fancy one too given they aren't going to be sucked into a relegation battle like half of the Premier league!

 

However I can only see the winners coming from the top 6 - with Man City certain to win the league an FA Cup win might be all important for a Chelsea/Spurs etc to save an "average" season as Arsenal have shown in recent seasons.

 

As for us - probably nick a win tomorrow but cannot see us doing much on current form - if we did get to Wembley be nice to turn up for once!

Strong Liverpool side, Van Dijk starting.

You called it. Very soft penalty.

Madley plays the advantage and then still brings it back.

 

He's clueless.

[pSinatra]

Never a penalty, but there are so many penalties being given that should never be a penalty.

 

They're trying to clamp down on diving, but the player is always going to hit the deck when he knows the ref will give a penalty for fook all

[Super_horns]

Everton losing their cool a bit - will someone get sent off?

[Legend_in_blue]

If only that was Madley and not Firmino...

 

[TheUltimateWinner]

Bobby Madley and Jon Moss, partners in shite 

[Fox92]

Holgate lost it 

[SouthStandUpperTier]

Madley conferring with Moss. The blind leading the blind.

Good refereeing though. And didn't ruin it by sending one off

[Legend_in_blue]

Here we go the Moss and Madley double act - the definition of refereeing greatness right there.

[Julian Joachim Jr Shabadoo]

How was Holgate not sent off for that? Not even booked?! Ridiculous reffing

[Stinkenzo]

Firmino must have said something coming back on to the pitch for Holgate to completely lose it like that

Personally think Holgate should have at least got a yellow, you can't just push someone in the back off the field into the stands

Both still deserved a booking I think
