FA Cup 2017-18

Hoping Notts can make a decent showing at Brentford.

Oh dear. A couple of wild shots from Renato Sanches and he gets jeered from the crowd, then a bit of stick off his team-mates. He sits down on the pitch having a little bit of a tantrum and is subsequently replaced. He then storms straight off down the tunnel having a mardy fit not acknowledging anyone as he comes off.

Incredible. The Premier League Champions of 4 years ago are wobbling

[spacemunky]

Man City have restored order.

 

Aguero with 2 in two minutes.

[spacemunky]

Steady! Get in!!!

 

Notts up 1-0!

Cov beating Stoke (so far)... taxi for Hughes

[AKCJ]

If Wolves could stop being useless it would be greatly appreciated.

[Bugg]

Surely Mark Hughes can't be in a job for much longer

[spacemunky]

Notts win!!!!

 

Fourth round here we come!

the Oatcake reads more and more like the Fighting Cock by the hour 

 

I switched over to Fulham v Southampton.  Looks like a ground I might like to visit to check "old English football ground" off the bucket list ... modernized, but still some charm, and good support.

Oh great, 606 (or Radio Stoke Moan-In as it now is) will be fun tonight. The usual round of Stoke fans ringing in with Robbie Savage defending his mate.

[The Bear]

Sounds like we had most of the possession and chances. Just couldn't put one away.

That must have ruined those Skybet boosted 4/1 trebles with Man City and Newcastle. Oh well at least we get the money back from that offer.

That's what I had

Me too!

Dumped my tenner on Chelsea/Sevilla double...

BBC said Swansea were dominating the first half, so I just checked. 50/50 possesson and Wolves led the chances 10-8. So I think you might be hearing it how you want to hear it.

[Kitchandro]

This Norwich Chelsea match has been as bad as our game earlier. Really.

Not at all. Going off the commentary I listened to and reports from those that went. All have questioned those stats. No idea where the BBC got their possession from. In the first half they had it down as 88% to them yet we were dominating.

Highlights - http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/42519689

We really should have won with these chances. Ours a definite red, theirs a joke! Bony had the best chance of the game though.

Those stats are from Sky. But checking the BBC say the same. 

 

I often watch Leicester and think we've had good chances and the other team haven't. Then I reflect on it, watch highlights and it all comes back. You think you had more chances, and more ball because you're watching your team. 

 

Maybe you had better chances overall but everything I've read and heard said it was pretty even.

[The Bear]

I agree with all that. A single person's memory is notoriously unreliable. I trust the people that went personally.

Well done to Notts County and, especially, Coventry.

 

As always, I'd like Notts County away in the next round providing we beat Fleetwood.

[Corky]

The TV viewers had a feast of football today.

Watching Coventry on Match of The Day.....takes me back to the days when I'd stagger in at 3 a.m. from Brannigans, manouvre the giant pizza box so it fits through the door, sit on the floor in pants and vest with a pint of milk (to try to offset hangover) and rewind the video tape of MOTD. Des "one of the lads" Lynam hosting, Hansen, Trevor "West Haaaaaaammm" Brooking, Tony Yeboah twatting in 40 yarders for Leeds and a Coventry side they couldn't really afford - Dubbo, Gary Mac, Salako, Whelan, Huckerby. As a tribute I'm off to the fridge and then the shirt and trousers have to go. The full re-enactment would involve early 90's dance music and romantic excursions with extras from the Mos Eisley Cantina / Branigans in Argos car park but I'm not that nostalgic. 

[Fox92]

What was Butland doing for that second goal??

 

both Coventry and Stoke missed good chances.
