FA Cup Draw - 3rd Round (Monday 8 December)

[Sweep]

Is it really too much to ask for a home game against some third division team just once?

Not the usual away to a PL team shit that we normally get.

[honky cat]

Went over there about 30 years ago for a game. We Lost 2-1, but it flattered us, we were well beaten after about half an hour, ferdinand and sinclair in their prime.
I was a bit late getting to white city for the tube home and the platforms were completely deserted. All quiet. Then a lot of feedback and rustling sounds came over the tannoy and a couple of herberts started belting out bubbles, followed by an indian voice shouting get out what are you doing, youre not allowed in here. More feedback noises, a bit of chim chiminey and what sounded like a tug of war over the microphone followed by silence. I was giggling to myself for about a week after. I told the story to my old man, who was seriously ill in hospital at the time he was laughing so much he had a bad turn, we had to call the nurse over.

i think it was only the 2nd game I went to in the FA cup athe Boleyn and we drew 0-0. Replay during the week was a disaster 5-1 defeat. I was far too young to go there. I thnk we even scored first. The pitch was anud bath there. I guess that's why they got the plastic pitch.

Was in front the goal in the away end at Loftus road when Frankie Mac scored in a 0-1 win in 85/86.

Always remember a cracking cup game against them at UP, must have been about 1974 or 75 - they were a top side - Parkes, Bowles, Francis, Thomas. Pat Holland played an absolute blinder and we beat them 2-1. Behind the goal, North Bank. Unforgettable atmosphere.

We’re a brilliant team then, Bowles was a magician, Givens quality. Was it Thomas who was the winger?

Whatever happened to Hogan Ephraim? I remember a lot of people getting very excited about him as a youth player and someone came on here and swore that he would end up playing for England. Never made the breakthrough here and went to QPR and disappeared...

[Gary Strodders shank]

I've got a lot of mates who are QPR and Lotus road was the first ground I went to as a kid so ive still got a bit of a soft spot for them.

That ground is the absolute opposite to the bowl in terms of fans proximity to the pitch and they can still make some proper noise when the occasion arises normally these days against the likes of Millwall and Luton.

I do hope we give them a proper hammering though and progress further in the competition.

A cup run would be most welcome and so would being able to go to the pub without the ridicule if they beat us

Foggy seems to be your analysis of everything West Ham.

 

 

Criticism from a poster who has probably never even been to the Boleyn, ouch I feel so burnt. 

[El Scorchio]

Always liked QPR. Unfashionable, working class club with real fans that aren't cunts like the other lot over that way. 

There's a video on youtube of some young QPR fella absolutely mullering some mouthy Millwall fan in the middle of the road. How can you not like that.

Link?

How long before their fans start singing “ you sold your soul for this shit hole “ and think it’s original when in fact everyone sings it on their first visit to the cesspit!

Less than one minute after kick off, if not prior to kick off

Who gives a fuck what no mark fanbases such as QPR chant?

[BoleynGone]

yes.gary
I thought we had in one of our cup wins.

I'll settle for 2-0 against Fulham again

Our name is on the cup this year I told you. 

[the coming of gary]

We knocked out QPR on the way to Bonzo lifting the cup in 1975, so same again please 

[Tomshardware]

Darren Peacock, was on loan with us but never made a first team appearance according to wiki.  Used loads of shampoo and shafted the club.

Ha ha couldn't find a bar showing it....well serves you right for living in a mud hut in a poverty stricken village near the Cambodian border 

What makes you feel that Belvedere is anywhere near the Cambodian border?

It's somewhere you appear absolutely desperate for me to be, for some reason. Something you need to share with your fellow posters, maybe?

Wow! Dun dan daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan!

Is it a bird? Is it a plane?

No! It's Stuporposter!

Aimlessly following his betters and superiors around the site! Fearlessly reminding the whole world about what he, err, fears the most! Effortlessly convincing everybody else that he is, indeed, a twatty Billy No-mates, and, proud possessor of a legal certificate that allows him free access to children and the vulnerable.

Dun dan daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan!

They're not media darlings and there was zero interest in the final where I was at the time.

Couldn't find a bar showing it. There must have been some, but I couldn't find one.

Not good for the sponsors who pay for and control the game.

Had a look at the fixtures and we have Forest at home Tue Jan 6th.
Thus unless we are moved to the Monday Night game Nuno will not prioritise the QPR game. QPR don't play midweek thus will put out their strongest team.
However as Liverpool and Arseanl play on Thu Jan 8th either of those 2 teams will play on the Monday night.
Portsmouth v Arsenal has more appeal to TV audiences , at a stretch they both could play on Sunday.
No PL teams will play on the Friday night as they all play prior to that weekend.
Charlton v Chelsea and Spurs v Villa really have to play on Sunday i'm sure or even the Monday.
Fulham v Middlesbrough most likely to be played on Saturday as it only features 1 PL team. Plus they are not a top 6 team so won't get preferable fixture.

Thus...we're playing at 3pm Saturday with a weakened line up, whatever that means as most of Nuno's line up's are pretty weak and not our strongest.

Tough,tough draw.
QPR a massive club, Bus parked already...
No way Nuno will sleep tonight.

Seriously that's a good tie.
No major minnows having a go at us for 90 minutes.
Strongest team out

[Mike Oxsaw]

Portsmouth v Arsenal
Manchester City v Exeter City
Charlton Athletic v Chelsea
Manchester United v Brighton
Liverpool v Barnsley
Tottenham v Aston Villa

Guess the sponsors/advertisers have already gone for a Liverpool v Manchester City final...

[Monsieur merde de cheval]

If its a Saturday I may make an appearance at the BOWL. Hate the place but a London derby in the FA Cup on a Saturday would be pretty good. 

Ironicall last game I went to was Bristol City in the cup, they brought 6000 so its safe to assume the HOOPS will take similar 

Been told it’s 9,000 allocation for them

Good..
Fresh meat ..

My first ever match at the Boleyn was vs QPR, I remember it got foggy really quickly so my dad decided to get an early start home

Sounds like your dad was every inch as pathetic as you.

At least I knew my dad

It's probably why he's still mad. Daddy issues.
