The FA Cup fourth round thread

[darren gregory]

Truly magnificent by Bradford, oh for that feeling, just shows it can be possible as in the League when we went there in Sept they looked bang average. A cup final and beating Chelsea, what an 18 months well done to them.

 

[JJH]

Time for Rochdale to produce for League One..

Up the Dale!

 

[Dale4ever]

Great goal from Bojan but we've been the better team!

 

[Saddlerrad]

Did anyone catch the new draw?

 

[Dale4ever]

Ah well, 4-1 flattered them a lot, we lost our heads a little when the second goal went in though, only disappointed with the score line rather than the overall performance. We had a nice run and made some money from it so cannot complain. Back to the bread and butter again now .

 

[darren gregory]

shite Rochdale

 

[Dale4ever]

What an inspiring post.

 

[Spike]

I think we have a good chance of beating Sunderland or Fulham. They will both fear coming to Valley Parade for a cup game.

I honestly couldn't give a shite about the FA Cup now, i'm certainly not taking time off work for this one.

Comfortable 2 or 3-0 win for Sheff Utd.

I had booked the afternoon off, I have since cancelled the holiday. Fuck that for a laugh.

I also have no-one to go with. Plus I've been to Bramall Lane 6 times and seen us score once (and that was 3 weeks ago)

Fair enough fuck going on your own having already been 6 times is no excuse though thats not even a lot to say we play each other a minimum of twice every year and will probably be a steady 6 times this year

West Ham about to be kicked out the competition for playing Sakho?

Happy they beat us fair and square but I'll take it if Sheff Utd win, as we'd have a free Saturday anyway.

Only it wasn't actually fair was it, otherwise the whole sakho-gate thing wouldn't be happening.
Don't really care what happens with the whole thing tbh, as nice as it would be to go back in if that was the decision, promotion is the priority

This is west ham were talking about you wont be getting back in not a chance

Someone on their forum found the fifa rules on this situation which says that any cup games are counted as a defeat regardless of the scoreline, I guess the fa would have to agree to that as well. Like I said im not too fussed as we gave a good account of ourselves against a side in the top 10 of the prem, time to focus on the league now

I hope you're right!!

The only way I can see us being in the next round is if we bore them into a draw for 120 minutes and Stuckmann brings out his penalty heroics.

Our game is on some Qatari channel so there might be a stream going round, if there are any sadists about.

Beckford's ears have fallen off or something, Ebanks-Blake probably still isn't ready to start twice in a week and Garner, Hugill and Little are all on the comeback trail which leaves Kevin Davies as a lone striker *shudders*......or Jack King *vomits*

The fullback combination will be a lucky dip, as per and I can see Brownhill being dropped, meaning Humphrey might come back in.

Possible team:

Stuckmann
Wiseman, Clarke, Huntington, Laird
Humphrey, Welsh, Kilkenny, Reid
Gallagher
Davies

Hudson, Woods, Wright, Brownhill, Browne, King, Ebanks-Blake​

Fuck it, might as well torture myself for a couple of hours.

I saw on PNE-Online that Beckford has glandular fever. Could be utter bollocks though.

I've found a link to stream it.

Can I post it on here or?

Fire it over in a PM if you can, haven't had chance to look for one yet. Cheers.

I'd be less than that if I didn't have a season ticket.

 

[blademan89]

Doesnt look like theres going to be many there anyway only 11,500 sold so far

 

[TomPNE94]

Cambridge aren't a particularly big pull, to be fair

Think we've sold around 1,100 - 1,200.

The magic of the cup....

Edit - Ignore that, I was reading PNE online and they were on about the home crowd, I missed a '0' off. I'd be surprised if we have over 1,000 there.

I dont think the next round draw has had any bearing whatsoever on the crowd we have just played 2 bigger games than a 5th round tie against man utd also we got to the semi final of this competition last year which was also a bigger game than a 5th round tie with man utd. I expect the usual tight encounter tonight from 2 very similar sides a penalty shoothout wouldnt be a bad shout
