The Proper Fans Only FA Cup Predictions for 6th - 9th March 2026 (With added extra irritation for site losers)

[Mike Oxsaw]

FA Cup
Friday, 6 March 2026 20:00
Wolverhampton Wanderers v Liverpool
Venue: Molineux
League Positions: 20 v 6
Current Forms: 25 v 42

My Instant gut reaction here would be that Liverpool are already into the next round, but although they've picked up lately, their still a little - by their standards - inconsistent.

Wolves have nothing but this competition to go for, and, I suspect, go for it they will. Expect media pundits to be throwing themselves off tall buildings everywhere:

Prediction: Home Win

---

FA Cup
Saturday, 7 March 2026 12:15
Mansfield Town v Arsenal
Venue: Field Mill
League Positions: 60 v 1
Current Forms: 11 v 37

We all know where this one is going. Mansfield will be grateful for the extra money, but there's only ever going to be one winner here:

Prediction: Away Win

---

FA Cup
Saturday, 7 March 2026 17:45
Wrexham v Chelsea
Venue: Racecourse Ground
League Positions: 26 v 5
Current Forms: 41 v 18

Plucky little Wrexham eh? Against a very in-form Chelsea? They'll put up a spirited fight, but again, only one outcome:

Prediction: Away Win

---

FA Cup
Saturday, 7 March 2026 20:00
Newcastle United v Manchester City
Venue: St James' Park
League Positions: 12 v 2
Current Forms: 21 v 45

This should be City's all day long. Newcastle beat the red Mancunians though, last time out and City dropped points to Forest (spit!). Will City cede the title and focus on the cup? Probably their easiest way back into Europe.

Prediction: Away Win

---

FA Cup
Sunday, 8 March 2026 12:00
Fulham v Southampton
Venue: Craven Cottage
League Positions: 10 v 27
Current Forms: 36 v 45

Southampton are on a bit of a roll at the moment, so this will be a very tight game indeed. Fulham will have the right hump after their midweek game and I suspect that will be enough - just - to see them over the line:

Prediction: Home Win

---

FA Cup
Sunday, 8 March 2026 13:30
Port Vale v Sunderland
Venue: Vale Park
League Positions: 68 v 11
Current Forms: 21 v 14

Sunderland won away at Leeds on their last outing. Factor that in with league position and it'll be Port Vale who will be asked to not let the door hit them on the arse on their way out.

Prediction: Away Win

---

FA Cup
Sunday, 8 March 2026 16:30
Leeds United v Norwich City
Venue: Elland Road
League Positions: 15 v 37
Current Forms: 18 v 36

Do Leeds, like us, really need this competition right now? Of course the FA Cup is (in my mind) THE trophy to win, but from a pure financial viewpoint PL survival trumps all.

Norwich are more sounding like a cup & saucer placed on top of a refrigerator than actually "buzzin'", but I think they might just have enough.

Prediction: Away Win

---

FA Cup
Monday, 9 March 2026 19:30
West Ham United v Brentford
Venue: The London Stadium
League Positions: 18 v 7
Current Forms: 18 v 29

As the song goes - "Save the best till last". We're certainly not out of the shit yet, league-wise and after this round, if we go through we'll be the weakest side left in the draw. Those left would be looking for a home tie against us and the sponsors will want us out PDQ.

Still. FA Cup eh? As I said earlier, it's the one to go for and Sullivan will appreciate the prize money (to borrow against) for us getting a bit further. Now. Will we? Won't we? Will we? Won't we? Will we? Won't we?:

Prediction: Home Win

---

Go on...you know you want to...

Wolverhampton Wanderers v Liverpool -
Mansfield Town v Arsenal -
Wrexham v Chelsea -
Newcastle United v Manchester City -
Fulham v Southampton -
Port Vale v Sunderland -
Leeds United v Norwich City -

And finally, the moment you've all been waiting for: My FA Cup acca:

Wolverhampton Wanderers  (@ Home to Liverpool 5/1)
Chelsea (Away @ Wrexham 4/11)
Fulham (@ Home to Southampton 8/15)
Norwich City (Away @ Leeds United 11/2)

Just a bit of fun, Guv.

Total stake: £11.00. Potential return: £297.97

I see all 4 games so far have seen the away team win! Hopefully the reverse for the next 4.................And then we draw one of those winning teams rather than one of those 4 away winners, they can play each other.

[honky cat]

That tuchel is a fucking weirdo looking fella

[Massive Attack]

[dealcanvey]

Var, ruining football and Disney documentary’s since 2020.

[Mike Oxsaw]

I wonder in the next round draw, what are the chances of:

1. Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool & Manchester City (should they win today) avoiding each other, &,
2. All 4 of them being drawn at home...

[Massive Attack]

More VARce corruption with that nonsense straight red. Yellow was the right call by the Ref initially but shock horror they badger the Ref to overturn it.  

[honky cat]

It all feels like an episode for the Disney show.

[GBHammer63]

Good luck to the sheep shaggers, much better connection between ownership and support than we could wish for. 

[Massive Attack]

Definitely a Mickey Mouse Club under Reynolds to buy their way up the league if they are spunking £10M on a player who was once on their Academy books.

[Mike Oxsaw]

And now sent off

VAR card upgrade. What a surprise.

Can't be having oiks like Wrexham go beyond this stage of the competition! Think of the effect on sponsorship potential!!!

Doubt that SE & E Asians can even pronounce Wrexham, let alone know where it is.

[only1billybonds]

Is there a more horrible cսnt in football than Cucurella? Absolute fucking vermin!

[twoleftfeet]

And now sent off

[wils]

Cheering on Wrexham here but you know we draw them and be knocked by them in the next round if we make it through

[GBHammer63]

Noooo, Dobson, went early, fucking lucky rent boy cunts

[GBHammer63]

Yeeeessss, George Dobson assist, ex WHU U23

[Massive Attack]

All day long and a month on Sunday's that was a stonewall handball Penalty for Wrexham and the Ref and VARce don't give it. It was an excellent save by the Chelsea player. The shot was going top corner as well. Corrupt as fuck.  

[Tomshardware]

Bit unlucky that goal that Wrexham conceded.  Wrexham have been decent. 

[happygilmore]

Wrexham..good finish 

[Tomshardware]

Should've held off on this until tomorrow seeing as there's still a (huge) PL game tonight.

[honky cat]

Come on MANSFIELD

[Mike Oxsaw]

Should've held off on this until tomorrow seeing as there's still a (huge) PL game tonight.

Which of the teams playing tonight are involved in the FA Cup?

[Mad Ferret]

Should've held off on this until tomorrow seeing as there's still a (huge) PL game tonight.

That darker blue is entirely legible. Many thanks.
