I was being sarcastic. It is not easy to go and win and lower league sides let alone beat them and march on to the final. Holding Puel responsible for us losing to Newport after he picked a team featuring 6 PL winners looks more ridiculous with every passing FA Cup result. Tha reality is that none of the teams outside the top 6 are anything special. Expecting us to be so in the season after selling the greatest player in our history is ridiculous nonsensical. Have a pop at the playing style all you like but the level of vitriol aimed at Puel after the Newport game was crazy. He made changes anybody else would have made and was let down by the players.

Nacho did nought, Ghezzal wasteful til he scored, Wes got done by a young lad in the box, Fuchs let a League 2 mid-table winger stand him up to run past him, Okazaki wasted a couple of chances at 0-0 and Albrighton decided to put his open palmed hand ontop of his head to block a cross off in the box going into injury time. It was an absolutely shocking performance but on paper those players should've been able to obliterate Newport. Puel was wrong for picking an unfit Matty James and sending the lads out clearly undermotivated & seemingly pre-hungover in demeanour. Man City League Cup game was different, both played "weakened teams"(rotation) going into the busiest part of the season and made it to pens, Vardy should've played but we don't know if he was injured or not, he looked class against Chelsea away not long after and then completely useless against Cardiff. I'm massively disappointed we're not playing today aswell. But it wasn’t our strongest team, our players have a week off again today because of our failure against Newport, it’s an insult to the supporters to play a second string, whether the second string should of been good enough is irrelevant, we lost, and we were beaten in the following 2 games after the “rest” We could of had a good cup run but no they’re all sitting with their feet up this weekend, just because other teams field a weakened team doesn’t mean we had to, we should of given ourselves the best chance possible to progress but we didn’t. Apologies for the rant btw just fed up with what used to be a fantastic cup competition

The Bear Posted 27 January 2019 Posted 27 January 2019 Who the hell at the BBC decided Barnet v Brentford would be a good tie to have on on a Monday night? I think I'd rather have an early night!

UniFox21 Posted 27 January 2019 Posted 27 January 2019 Really odd that VAR wasn't implemented for all grounds. Surely the FA could help subsidise, or even the TV cameras used? Almost a different level of officiating depending on if it was used or not

sylofox Posted 27 January 2019 Posted 27 January 2019 A real Back to the Future job at millwall. Return to the eighties

Finnegan Posted 27 January 2019 Posted 27 January 2019 Why is it always ****ing Millwall? Has there ever been a football club whose fans are more proud of legitimately, actually being scum bags?

Has there ever been a football club whose fans are more proud of legitimately, actually being scum bags? Quote Michael Avery, from Millwall Supporters' Club, said the chants and fighting were the actions of a "mindless few" and something the Championship club have been working hard to eradicate. I would love to know how hard they're working to eradicate it - do these fans get suspended or banned? All well and good mentioning they win 'family club of the year' as some kind of retort to the racist chanting but it should be a pre-requisite of any club's fans to walk in to a stadium and not go ahead and racially chant something .
Wymsey Posted 27 January 2019 Posted 27 January 2019 Every time the BBC during the game at The New Den yesterday got the camera on some disabled and ethnic minority Millwall supporters, there was always someone around them either rudely gesturing or swearing around them. One can question why the former indivduals dare to even turn up watching a game there knowing it's a club that is known for thuggish supporters.

UniFox21 Posted 27 January 2019 Posted 27 January 2019 Today's fixtures are ridiculous. Palace vs Spuds is a 4pm yet Chelsea vs Sheff Wednesday is a 6pm. Why not put the 2 London clubs as the late kick off??

One thing I'm not keen on is that they have a rehearsal before the draw is supposedly done for real. How do we know that the draw is actually done live... I mean that could have been take nine or ten, and then they go with the draw where the big teams avoid each other.

If that was the case, you wouldn't have got Chelsea vs Man City a few seasons ago or even Arsenal vs Man Utd on Friday?

Ah yes, that's it, the second draw behind the grassy knoll. It all makes sense now.
