Fulham can absolutely beat either of these (Chelsea, NUFC) if drawn in the semis.  A cup final would be amazing for them: first in half a century?

 

WTF has happening with Trippier?  It's like he's switched brains with Harry Maguire.

Not sure about domestic but they played in Europa League final under Hodgson, must be a decade ago now though.

 

I’d like to see Fulham win it tbf.

The Chelsea game...

 

Why does it look like they're taking penalties from about 8 yards out?

 

Looks tiny.

 

Haha fvck off Newcastle. The wait goes on. 

 

Massive club though 

[South Shire Fox]

Loool Newcastle United will always be a small club no matter how much oil money they have. 70 years and counting

[Fox92]

Newcastle dumped out of another competition. Lovely to see.

[trabuch]

The lesser of two evils went through. 

[AjcW]

I do wonder if something is up with Trippier.

3 massive mistakes in as many games

Looks unwell and unfit.

 

To go from faultless to this in an instant is worrying, hope all is well personally etc.

Looked ill, was literally white as a sheet

[Lionator]

I think Howe is way closer to the sack than people realise.

He shouldnt be. Hes done an incredible job with the squad hes working with. Majority of that team is as average as it gets. Lacaselles, Longstaff, Ritchie, Almiron 😂

Always going to happen as soon as it goes wrong, given their backing. If they don’t make top 6 again I think he will be gone.

2010. Same night as our semi v Cardiff. 

A fun night in our LCFC and Fulham supporting house!

That's what I thought.

 

Howe is running them into the ground, 5 or 6 games making next to no subs despite having senior players on the bench.

[Super_horns]

Newcastle and Everton rather blew it when well placed .

 

West London semi final ?

Saw someone say he left the last England squad for ‘personal reasons’ as well. Must be something going on

There were rumours of marital disharmony. In other words, Trippier caught playing away.

He spent over 350m in two and a half season. People seem to gloss over this point.

 

Decent job but far from incredible.

Quite like the idea of Fulham beating their near neighbours in either the semis or final. 

[Super_horns]

You kind of knew Chelsea and Liverpool would be kept apart .

Rubbish draw. Wanted Chelsea v Liverpool.

[Lionator]

I wouldn’t rule Boro out v Chelsea, if they can get stuck into them and get an early lead then Chelsea can crumble even over two legs.

Last night the Fulham supporting OH was over excited at the prospect of going to Wembley and winning the trophy. 

Fast forward 24 hours, they've drawn Liverpool and I've pointed out we're on holiday for the final 😂

 

(I do the trophies in this house, fck "em) 🤣

[Ian Nacho]

I think Boro would be dark horses against Chelsea if it wasn't for their injury crisis at moment. Depends on how many players they get back.

On a one off game at the Riverside maybe. No chance over two legs

[RowlattsFox]

Klopp can get away with but its interesting to see more and more managers call out the lack of atmosphere at grounds. Changes need to happen in this country, and it needs managers to get involved. 

[purpleronnie]

Kinda frustrating that we could've had Boro v newcastle and Liverpool v Everton semi finals.

 

And now we'll end up with a Chelsea v Liverpool final...yawn.
