A lack of giant killings. Maybe it’s being lined up for Wigan

This Stoke v Fulham game is a good one. Stoke have a forward called Cisse who’s a tidy player. Tall, quick, good on the ball, full of running and energy, nice passer of the ball too.

Is the draw this afternoon or do they wait for the Monday game?
MOTD said the last time Mansfield were in the 5th Round was 1975
Thats an OMEN obviously
West Ham to beat a team in black & white (Newcastle?) 2-0 in the final with Taty TAYLOR scoring twice

The little skinflint will be happy to save on the cost of travelling to an extra away game.
That was one of the most embarrassing and out of touch things you’ll ever hear the owner of a football club say.

I can just imagine Sullivan dressing up as a Red Indian chief on Monday evening, dancin' and a-whoopin' around his drum, praying that the Cup Goddess will smile favourably on him and give us a home draw against one of the bigger sides. Fuck progress, selling tickets (& merchandise) to mug punters who want a chance to come and see the stars play is where it's at.
Me? I hope we get pitted against the least media-friendly team still left in the competition, home or away.
None of that makes sense,if we do get one of big four left in cup it doesn't matter if its home or away as we still only get 3rd of takings and as for calling fans who go mug punters proves what a tedious prick you really are
You know when l said you only post utter bollocks?
His obsession with Sullivan is off the charts, he rarely puts up a post without a mention of him. Pretty bizarre, He privately greatly admires him though as Sullivan has been way more successful than he ever was and is also a sex case

That Mansfield game was one of my worst experiences.
I was working at Tilbury docks on a massive construction site and was determined to go to the match.
I'm not sure of the dates so bear with me every time the match was due I had to take a day off I think it was postponed three times at late notice so I threw a sickie and finally went up there I think on a Monday night.
So thanks West Ham you owe me a Week's wages.

I remember waking up and hearing about that Mansfield result. Pretty sure it was my first experience of being on the wrong end of a giant killing. Thought the world was gonna fucking end.

That foul by Villa's keeper, a lot of fans say it wasn't the last man, that's irrelevant the tackle itself was worth a red, agree?

I still get the nerves/excitement for the FA Cup draw. Will take anyone bar the usual Arsenal, Liverpool, Manchester City, Chelsea away.
Good thing about the cup draw is if you don't catch it live you can find it on YT without any spoilers. I'm bricking it already.

The authorities will never allow any of those four to meet each other at this early stage.
At this point would probably agree. They nearly always get home ties too.

Drinking in silence in the Wetherspoons is probably as good as it gets.
I was there for a funeral there were a few ex Page 3 girls there and it was still really grim.. Hungry Horse boozers, not spoons.

One more kind draw would be nice so that we can potentially have a QF to look forward to.
