FA Cup 20/21

I bloddy forgot this was on - I been switching between Palace/WHam and Newc/Leeds

I'll have the 2nd half on and hope for a nice result. Then pick the rest of the night, depending.

It's a shame it's on BT in the middle of all the Prem action. Gets lost in the shuffle. Mostly been Bournemouth, but got to remember Crawley haven't played or trained since Leeds.

I got some Egyptian commentary, I think.

Arabic anyway.

1-1! Seconds after what should have been a pen (definitely not a dive). Justice.

 

[easley91]

2-1 it was nice while it lasted ?

 

[TheChosenOne]

Crawley gave it a go. Can't ask for anything more than that.

 

[easley91]

Been in the game the whole way. Under the circumstances, couldn't have asked for more really. Did have a few chances in that second half. Do wonder what if there wasn't an outbreak and managed to prepare properly. Definitely the best Crawley side for almost ten years though. The keeper Morris is very good, kept it to just two.

That's the 5th round ties confirmed:
Burnley v Bournemouth
Manchester United v West Ham United
Sheffield United v Bristol City
Wolverhampton Wanderers v Southampton
Barnsley v Chelsea
Everton v Tottenham Hotspur
Swansea City v Manchester City
Leicester City v Brighton & Hove Albion

I believe the date/s are 9th and 10th of Feb, which is a midweek. Obviously which are on BBC/BT haven't been picked yet.

Get through Everton and it's definitely winnable I think. If they all go through, here's hoping a combination of United, City, Chelsea and Leicester (maybe include Southampton as well) in the next round.

I'm really confident about any cup competition we are in with Jose in our corner.

Bournemouth 1 up at Burnley.

Bournemouth 1 up at Burnley.

Only just tuning in now, planned to watch them both but got sidetracked, 7.30 for the Man U v WHam U.

 

[TheChosenOne]

Burnley bounced out by Woodgate's Bournemouth

Burnley bounced out by Woodgate's Bournemouth

Decent result that Read that Harry has taken a coaching role there

Decent result that Read that Harry has taken a coaching role there

I know that it's only two results but Woodgate won't harm his chances of getting the job. Got to be a less expensive option than some of the other managers that they might consider. Obviously a bit of a no brainer asking Harry to help out but it shows that Woodgate is willing to learn.

 

[TheChosenOne]

Scrappy stuff so far.

He's only down the road from the club, handy stuff

 

[Serpico]

WHU are such an ugly looking team. I might have to switch off, close ups are scaring the children.

 

[TheChosenOne]

I really don't want to see extra time in this battle of attrition.
