FA Cup - season 2024-25

The lad Enoru looks a real threat…

[RevidgeBlue]

Good lads - 0-0 half time.

They dropped off a bit half way through the first half and can't see it staying that way but even if not they've got the fact that they held Premier League Spurs for 45 mins in their locker as a mini victory.

Apparently his main job is a sales assistant at Zara, I wonder how much they would charge for his services?

[wilsdenrover]

Their defender will be dining out on that for years 😁😁

spurs with the attitude that we can just turn up and win

Waggott would probably offer him less on the basis he's got the security of a long term deal.

We should buy him, keep the receipt & return within 30 days if he doesn’t impress…

[RevidgeBlue]

Werner's useless.

They still have their sale on

[simongarnerisgod]

no leaders in this spurs side

[wilsdenrover]

Did I just hear that right ? all the money Tamworth make from today will be invested back into the club?

Waggott will be disgusted with an attitude such as that.

Disgraceful isn't it.

All so the big Clubs (with massive squads anyway) can play a few more meaningless games in the early stages of the Champions League or in a Club world Cup

 Come on be fair, these guys play too many games and they have to keep themselves fresh for the tour of the far east the day after the season finishes

Just 15 minutes from that dream replay 🙄

[RevidgeBlue]

Hope Tamworth can hang on until 90  minutes. Would be another little feather in their cap.

If you are going to scrap replays (which I vehemently disagree with) you might as well go straight to penalties without the need for extra time as well.

Again the extra period weighs in favour of the professional side you'd have thought.

Alternatively (in ties involving a Prem club) a draw results in the team from the lower division going through.

on the other side of the argument,it was very rare that the lower league side won the replay

Yeah it's not that, it's so the minnows get their chance of extra dosh at Old Trafford etc.

[RevidgeBlue]

Really enjoyable 90 mins.

Tamworth heartbreakingly close to nicking it right at the death.

That's a few million they've been deprived of due to the change in the rules.

[simongarnerisgod]

imagine this going to penalties and tamworth winning😂

[wilsdenrover]

Don’t worry Spurs, the ref’s got this for you.

Was just thinking the same, had your fun lads but can't let spurs tire out.  Gee it along a bit

The FA Cup is absolutely brilliant, nothing like it anywhere else in the world. Really annoys me when people try to devalue it - and more often than not it's the footballing authorities themselves.

A perfect summation of what the FA Cup means to fans whoever they support. You only have to look at the circus of the cup draw to see how devalued the competition has become as viewed by the FA.
