Maybe a few on here should be apologising to Kilman, showed his true class in keeping a clean sheet.

Imagine being a professional player at West Ham and being picked to start in that line up. Playing in the
stiffs ia not exactly a confidence booster

Yep, he clearly is way off it after not playing for months. That said our corners today were awful.

Man City only 1-0 up against Salford City after 72 mins with an own goal.  They will probably go on to win 5-0 but these games aren't always as easy as it appears on paper.

Only seen brief highlights 
Job done … Bowen & Fernandes given a week off to freshen up
More magic from Jimmy
Another cheating Northern referee with a ludicrous red
Broke the hearts of lower league yokels & their inbred fans 
Hopefully a decent home draw next

On to the Bournemouth game

These fixtures are more often than not a dull affair. So wasn’t surprised it was like this. But was particularly dull. 

if we are getting a big team in the next round let’s have another go at Chelsea.

You get games like this in the cup, we aren't the only prem team to have a game like this in the cup.  People writing off players careers because of one game in a scrappy cup tie.

Mavropanas is beginning to give me Craig Dawson vibes. He will be very unlucky if he's dropped next week, I'd keep him in.

This will go in history of the FA Cup as the dullest match ever.
The lineup was dire, but the quality of players in our club is truly abysmal.

No More BS

Going to watch Naarwich now just because I like their kit. As said, at least we're in the hat and plenty for Nuno to chew over after that.

The same way that 45 minutes produces an added 7 against Man Utd.  It’s called cheating

Looked a bit like a two footed thing where he's wrapped his legs round him, which never goes down well tbh. Probably reckless. Dont think it will be overturned.

Clean sheet
Round 5
Banana skin avoided ( Remember Palace )

Job done.

( How a referee can give a yellow and then look at the injured player and change it to a red is baffling, let’s hope he stays in the lower leagues )
