The FA Cup Thread 2013/14

[Cheeky Hughes]

bih Niner!

Seriously though that was probably the worst presented third round draw in ever.

[stokeriño]

Am liking the Derby draw. An away tie against a decent team outside of the usual Prem opponents (kept thinking we would get Everton AGAIN). Plus it's only 90 minutes away on the train for a £36 return. Whoop.

[GA!]

Fucking Huddersfield! Least it's at home.

[9 to 5]

Thrilla, load the Torture Rack...

And God yes it was a shambles of a presentation.

I prefer North London Derbies when we're at home. Boo.

[Matt]

Rochdale away. Not sure there was a less interesting possible draw

[Lineker]

Bah. Was hoping for a nice different away trip.

Still, we'll smash 'em

[MDK]

Glamour tie against Yeovil, wowza

Matt Smith seemed to have a real aversion to saying 'Fleetwood' didn't he. Nightmare. At least none of the balls got launched across the room like at the World Cup draw

We're at home to Stevenage, could've been worse.

FA Cup 2nd round tie between Crawley & Bristol Rovers also abandoned because of the heavy rain & waterlogged pitch with score 0-0 on 73 mins

Shit weather all around tonight.

[Colly]

I fear for my back fence.

[Starvinho]

My bins have already blown off, will have to retrieve them after the game.

Arsenal striker Olivier Giroud is a doubt after suffering from illness and an ankle injury. Nicklas Bendtner (ankle) is injured along with Kieran Gibbs (calf) and Aaron Ramsey (thigh) while playmaker Mesut Ozil must pass a fitness test.

Andros Townsend, Lewis Holtby and Jermain Defoe could return from injury for Tottenham. Striker Emmanuel Adebayor is fit again after being taken off on a stretcher against Manchester United on Wednesday.

Ooh, sailor!

Rovers are in charge of this game but I can see a City goal from a counter

[MDK]

And Silva skies City's best chance

[Baddar]

From that distance, he needed to just smash it.

Pretty sure City will open Blackburn up eventually.

EDIT: Just like that, Negredo 1-0.

[stokeriño]

Pretty sure City will open Blackburn up eventually.

10 seconds before half-time.

That's probably the game, then.
