The Emirates FA Cup 2023/24

[METALMAN]

Quote

The fifth-round games are being played in midweek, on the week commencing Monday, 26 February.

MONDAY IS NOT MIDWEEK 

[Colly]

I'd be picky and say that sentence is fine (which it is), but for some daft reason Coventry v Maidstone is on that Monday which is definitely not midweek.

[METALMAN]

that’s exactly my point. I just couldn’t be bothered extracting all the pertinent bits in the quote

So lazy.

I am tired

JDT might not be in a job by then if their horrible form continues.

JDT derby is off.

Plus side, John Eustace might be in place by tomorrow to smash Birmingham.

TNT Sports will have exclusive broadcasting rights to the FA Cup from the 2025/2026 season. Some matches will be free-to-view, but not on traditional terrestrial channels.

The BBC article wording suggests it will, though I may be misunderstanding.

TNT Sports has agreed a four-year deal with the Football Association to show the FA Cup from the 2025-26 season.

Formerly known as BT Sport, TNT Sports will share the rights with a free-to-air broadcaster, which the FA said it would provide further details on in "due course".

I voted Brexit to take back control but they still give the World’s Oldest Cup Competition to pay TV. Feel so betrayed right now

EWB Blackburn hive mind, I'm parking near a chip shop that does John Bull tomorrow, which claims to be a local delicacy. Do I touch it?

You will be reet.

Best Blackburn have played all season. Unlucky on penalties mind you. But impressive that they held Newcastle for all the game. 

[Colly]

Definitely seemed to be the prevailing thought of fans on the way out, I parked miles away so heard lots of "how are we so bad in the league?". We were shite, could easily have lost in the 90 minutes.

I didn't get a John Bull, pushed for time so ended up with a service station KFC (Greggs, KFC and TOTALLY WICKED were the headliners).

The most brutal game in English football history - recollections on the 1970 FA Cup Final Replay between Chelsea and Leeds, ahead of their clash tonight.

Enjoyed reading this!

Wolves or Brighton & Hove Albion v Coventry City

Nottingham Forest or Man U v Liverpool or Southampton

Chelsea or Leeds United v Leicester City

Manchester City v Newcastle United

 

Fucks sake. Might as well have lost the penalty shootout.

[DavidMarrio]

Part of me would laugh if both us and Man Utd got knocked out. BBC/ITV be fighting for the oil derby

[Hobo]

Sad that young up and coming Jay Spearing hasn't made the team tonight
