The FA Cup 2014/15 thread

[The Lusophone]

all hail the mighty Rovers.

Bristol are pretty good on occasion.

[Baddar]

Got a mate coming over to watch the game tonight. We can talk about De Gea bailing us out together.

Here's to another win over Arsenal!

(I hope )

[Lineker]

Aww, football friends!

[DavidMarrio]

I'd normally want Arsenal to win obviously, but you want the shit team to advance when it comes to the cup

The winner gets Blackburn or Villa in the semi's anyways...

Edit: Or the winner of Reading-Bradford. That reminds me, when is the draw made?

[DavidMarrio]

Should be tonight I imagine before your match kicks off.

After tonight's game

[Lineker]

Sczcesny recalled into the starting lineup.

[Whisper]

My mood today has ranged from, "I can see us putting in a performance tonight" to "we're gonna be shite again and get tonked", so I really don't know where I'm at for this one.

Hoping for an entertaining game at least. Half expected Wilson to start tonight, but that doesn't seem to be happening.

Nice to see you've expanded your vocabulary

Shaw starting - count the backwards passes folks!

Makes me feel old watching Man Utd play Arsenal. I remember when they were both good!

[Matt]

Why is Arsenal's colour key blue worrying on a yellow background? Their kit is clearly predominantly blue and apart from the luminous names/numbers I can't see anything remotely yellow on their kit. Sort it out Lineker!

[Whisper]

Good to see Valencia not only backing off Sanchez and allowing him into the box, but showing him onto his stronger foot to boot!

It's Man Utd versus the ref and liners. For once.

[Matt]

Have Arsenal been first to the second ball yet?

[brenchill]

Bellerin will be gone soon.

[Whisper]

De Gea is our best passer of a ball.

Mr Elbow just done himself
