The Sunday FA Cup 3rd round thread

[Stat Brother]

- 'Arry's QPR are the latest victims of Sheffield Utd.
- palace brush past Dover.
- Wednesday currently 1-0 up at Citeh.
- Gardener on the bench for Villa.
- Dirty Leeds concentrating on the league.


It would appear the relevant 5-live commentators believe this is the first time 'massive' clubs have been forced to ply their trade at assorted hovels in footballing backwaters.
Populated by fans so grateful to have their humble grounds graced by footballing gods.

Lots of lovely half/half scarves at Yeovil. From the cheers we hear on the concourse pre-match at The Amex when Chelsea score, if we drew them I feel sure a similar Brightsea scarf would be a winner.

Watching Yeovil v Man U.
Man U not at the races so far and Yeovil doing ok but considering the full house and Yeovil in with a chance the atmosphere is quite dead.
Owens voice is very annoying.

 

[Zukey Seagull]

we are going to get palace next round

 

[Ernest]

Sheff Wed still winning

 

[Stat Brother]

Wrexham one up v Stoke with 15 mins left.

 

[Raleigh Chopper]

Villa 0 Blackpool 0
Lambert in big trouble if this is the result.
If they sneak a goal I fancy Villa at the Amex, prem team who we could beat and do wonders for our confidence.

Don't often watch football on the telly box but what a complete and utter tosser Michael
Owen is as a commentator

Villa and Stoke now winning btw. Would love Villa at home. Our luck it will be Stoke away again

 

[Prince Monolulu]

Will be Citeh at home

 

[Raleigh Chopper]

Benteke 89 mins.

I want Villa at home.

 

[Lady Whistledown]

Would love Villa at home.

I'd fancy our chances if they played Gardner.

 

[Lady Whistledown]

Man United one up at Yeovil now.

Stoke through, unfortunately. Stoke City away, the FA Cup draw nobody wants.

And McMannerman saying that McNairs handball was not deliberate when he thumped it to the ground. Another total tosser.

Problem with a 'big' away game would be getting tickets (I am a ST holder but don't get to away games because of work so low points). On the day I think we could beat any mid table prem team at home.

 

[Raleigh Chopper]

Full house at Yeovil.
So just the 3 hours to get back onto the A303 from Easy10's favourite ground.
Good job the United fans have only got an hours drive back to Devon.

 

[severnside gull]

Has 'Arry gone yet?
Surely can't hang on to the job much longer after their embarrassment today

Not sure I understand this -- you haven't got loyalty points because you can't get to away games, so presumably if we get an away draw in the fourth round, you won't be able to go, so your low level of points is irrelevant.
The people with the points are those who can (and do) go to away games, so it's entirely reasonable that they'd get first shout for a big cup game away.

I assume he means he can't usually get to away games because of work but would make an exception (ie take time off) if it was a big game.

Can't see it being a problem anyway - if it's a big club away they will probably give us a large allocation. If you're a STH you'll probably be OK even if you haven't clocked up many away game points.

Bang on, but we all want to go to the 'big' away game.

Its good of Redkanpp to give someone else the chance of winning the cup this year, he needs to stop stockpiling title after title that got him link to the England job..... o wait
