Hillsborough: Still shit.

Hillsborough has been out of date as a stadium for a long time. The away end, particularly underneath the stand, is archaic beyond belief.

[King Ellis]

Not sure if it's been mentioned in the build up but shout out to the last time we got Cardiff away in the 3rd round. This was when the final was still being held at The Millennium Stadium, leading David O'Leary to infamously predict that our FA Cup run would begin and end in Cardiff. He didn't know how right he was...

[Colly]

ITV giving us Tyldesley and McCoist. 

 

[King Ellis]

I can only assume Matt has exploded with rage by now.

This one might, too.

[The Lusophone]

Feel a bit sorry for Leeds, they should've had a penalty in the first three minutes but without var it wasn't given.

Still, it's quite funny.

[King Ellis]

Suarez esque from Bagan.

Edit: Doubly so after that save...

Edit 2: Get in my Sonny!

Some classic waffling from Jermaine Jenas, saying that Pep has always put his "strongest possible" eleven out for City in FA Cup matches, when even today there's been 7 changes from the last league match.

Just because they have better depth than most doesn't equal holding it in a higher regard than other teams.

[stokeriño]

Saw we'd conceded a free kick and thought that a decent time to pop to the kitchen, knowing full well City would score from it.

[Baddar]

This one might be over already.

Don't worry Stok, I'm expecting them to do the same to us on Saturday.

[stokeriño]

I'm expecting Fulham and Palace to do it to us as well, is the problem.

The fawning over the "never gone out in the first round of any domestic cup" fawning was bad enough, he's managed at Barca, Bayern and City, unless they get a big side early on he never should.

Nah I'm sure Benidorm CF, L'Hospitalet, FC Nottingen and Swindon Town were all tough tests that Pep only weathered thanks to his messianistic skills as a manager.

Who are you to doubt FC Nottingen.

Cupset at Villa.

[Colly]

Ruined it.

Mods ban please.

Glorious, incredible scenes at VIlla is what I'm sure Lineker meant to say. Stevenage always score late on, everyone knows that. Never in doubt.
