FA Cup - 2023/24

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

Ticket sales very slow..national TV coverage will hit the attendance badly.

[Mattyblue]

Plenty will get sold in the run up, Wrexham was pretty much empty until about the Thursday before.

[tomphil]

Should still be a 19/20k+ crowd although knowing our lot they'll close the ticket office again on the day on cost cutting   Police 'advice'.

if we lose the next three games i can see it going off protest wise against newcastle,there is only so much a fan can take

[RevidgeBlue]

I would have fancied us for this with JDT in charge, now I can't muster up any enthusiasm for it at all.

Expecting a right tonking on the evening even if arguably Eustace might be more likely to grind out a few results in the League.

In fairness we didn't play all out attack football with no thought of trying to defend last year. A lot more pragmatic before he decided to die on the style over results hill.

We had trouble scoring last year and then lost Diaz. The gung ho approach seemed to me to be a way to remedy that.

Then the injuries started to stack up and we were totally fucked.

At that point I think he just said fuck it and went for all out style over substance.

Cov v Maidstone, Palmer, pass em to death

Inevitable.

Tim Krul was in goal for Luton. No way Haaland scores five past Tommy 😂.

[simongarnerisgod]

currently laughing at how low man utd have sunk,they look like a mid table side to me,forest the better side by far

[jim mk2]

BBC commentator tonight..... "Man Utd have ONLY won 4 trophies in the 10 or so seasons since Ferguson retired".

Jim Ratcliffe in a recent interview: "The past 11 years have been agony"

Don't you just love the entitled, self-serving elite?

Agreed, he wouldn’t have even got a hat-trick with Tommy K between the sticks!

One was a nutmeg & another went right through him. Made it easy for Haaland who hasn’t been in great form with his finishing lately

So just above the elbow is not handball even when the body is moved to create the contact.

They make it up as they go along.

The Jock commentator is a total dick.

[bazza]

Wolves v Coventry.  What an ending!

[Norbert Rassragr]

It shows what a good manager and decent owners can do. From League 2, and not knowing where the home games will be to appearances at Wembley and possible promotion. 

One day it might be us, though right now it feels like we will just end up at the crap owners and League 2 stage.

Not as much of a dick as Danny Murphy on the Manchester v Newcastle game

I gave up on that game as soon as City went 2 up.

Wolves v Coventry was good TV and pleased that it wasn't decided by Simms dodgy first goal.

[Cherry Blue]

Chelsea in blue Leicester in dark blue. Easy on the eye close up but on long shots crazy. Whoever made that decisionneeds a bollocking.

[RoverDom]

BBC showing a replay whilst Leicester get a goal back. How much of live football is actually just watching a replay? 

Missed a goal cos of a replay then we were watching a replay  of that as Chelsea went up the other end and had a chance. 

[RoverDom]

On a seperate note - why does sterling insist on volunteering for set pieces. He's such a technically limited player why embarrass yourself by pulling rank and taking a penalty when there's a good chance you'll miss. As for the free kick that was laughable.

I actually did laugh but admire the spunk of the lad after that awful penalty.

I expected Palmer to take it and score.
