Erm, what are the BBC playing at?

[Shindig]

We must avenge Gateshead.

[Pleb]

Exeter v West Brom surely should of got picked as a televised matchup purely because they haven't got an actual stadium to sit/stand away fans

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Leicester game was always going to be picked due to Vardy.

[Baz]

League Two’s Coventry to do Stoke and Wolves to absolutely trounce Swansea?

[Jimmy Floyd]

The preponderance of the BBC only to screen ties in the North West (close to its Salford studios) is getting as bad as the United thing. First round this year they showed Hyde, second round Macclesfield, and now in the third round they've gone for a trio of Liverpool, Fleetwood and Shrewsbury.

[Shindig]

Exeter v West Brom surely should of got picked as a televised matchup purely because they haven't got an actual stadium to sit/stand away fans

Do they not build temporary stands any more these days?

[wullie]

I thought there'd be more interest in Stoke visiting but we've only sold 11000 which will still be the biggest attendance so far but it's a third of the stadium. It'd be nice to get Mark Hughes fired, but my big hope is to see Peter Crouch marked by one of the Kelly-Evans twins who are about 5'6". Worth the ticket price alone.

[Jimmy Floyd]

How many do you get for, say, Chesterfield in a league game?

[wullie]

Beat them on Monday, 7400-something there which seems to be the rough average for the season so far too.

[Jimmy Floyd]

lol, I just plucked them out as a random team.

I can't think of a worse atmosphere to have at a club than quarter-filling a cavernous megadrome on a weekly basis.

[wullie]

It's one that we're still not entirely sure we'll be playing in come August too. If we don't get out of this division at the first try I think that might be it for a lot more people, which is lovely for traffic but shit in every other possible way.

[SincereTheRebel]

League Two’s Coventry to do Stoke and Wolves to absolutely trounce Swansea?

Ill be at the wolves game living it up.

[Waffdon]

This must be the first time in a decade Man Utd aren’t televised for an FA Cup game.

[Jimmy Floyd]

It's the first time since that game against Exeter when someone nutmegged Ryan Giggs.

[niko_cee]

First time since they drew with Exeter, so get on Derby to do something and heads to roll.

[Waffdon]

It's the first time since that game against Exeter when someone nutmegged Ryan Giggs.

12 years. Fucking hell. Strange one too, as I bet this will be a better game than a large majority of the shite they’ve televised.

[phonics]

This must be the first time in a decade Man Utd aren’t televised for an FA Cup game.

12 years.

[Jimmy Floyd]

They got pilloried for televising them vs Reading last year, but that's more Reading's fault for being the single most boring club in the Football League.

[Disco]

It's the first time since that game against Exeter when someone nutmegged Ryan Giggs.

Dean Moxey.

[Magic]

Looking to do Newport over and then get a huge game in the 4th. No doubt it'll be a humiliating 1-0 defeat and will ruin our season.

[Dave.]

It's the first time since that game against Exeter when someone nutmegged Ryan Giggs.

Wasn't it Ronaldo that got nutmegged by Scott Hiley?

[Jimmy Floyd]

You are correct.

[Lewis]

'Has Alex Ferguson lost his touch?'

[Jimmy Floyd]

I'm pretty sure the 17 year old me would have been making arguments on here that Ronaldo was all style, no substance and would go the same way as Carlos Marinelli.

[Baz]

Is @Boom-Boom still about?

Edit: no, his last post was 2015 in the recently resurrected darts thread. RIP.

[SvN]

Weird, looks like he was posting really regularly too, and then just suddenly stopped. Definitely dead.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Ice Carim did that back in the day. Loads and loads of posts a day and then suddenly never visited the board again, let alone posting.

[niko_cee]

Nice to see both Liverpool and Everton fielding proper sides.

[John Arne]

Liverpool

Liverpool: Karius, Gomez, Matip, Van Dijk, Robertson, Milner, Can, Lallana, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Mane, Firmino.
Subs: Ward, Wijnaldum, Lovren, Klavan, Ings, Solanke, Alexander-Arnold.

"The one thing we won't be doing is playing open, expansive football."

*Z-Cars theme plays*

[Pleb]

Do they not build temporary stands any more these days?

Not that I'm aware of.

Apparently Exeter asked the FA for limited tickets due to not having a stadium which they bizarrely granted which means West Brom is probably going to have an allocation of 5% or something stupid as that. I must stress this is Westcountry football we're talking about here which doesn't exist.

[Waffdon]

Imagine not loving Andy Robertson

Hope they get pumped right enough.

[John Arne]

Calvert-(DCL)-Lewin is going to be a very decent player if he carries on progressing as he is. Seems to get better every game.

[John Arne]

That was a soft pen.

[Lewis]

Come back Lukaku. Some is forgiven.

[John Arne]

How on earth has Holgate not been booked for that? He could have even seen a straight red.

Let’s hope Firmino just spat at him, and didn’t call him a ‘negrito’ or something.

[Boydy]

How on earth has Holgate not been booked for that? He could have even seen a straight red.

Yeah, mad that.

[Lewis]

I reckon Paulp Ogba is about five more missed sitters away from putting a transfer request in.

[phonics]

Best fans in the world

[Lewis]

He's right Walter Mitty him.

[phonics]

A basic Wiki does not help me understand the point.

[Lewis]

The person posting that stuff is probably about seventeen, like all of those agent accounts that mentalists frantically re-tweet.

[John Arne]

Moronics

[Giggles]

Did Can not leave?

EDIT: Well obviously not, but did something fall through in the last couple of days?

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Lingard

[John Arne]

Did Can not leave?

EDIT: Well obviously not, but did something fall through in the last couple of days?

Off on a free in the summer.

[Lewis]

This is like when Lee Hendrie was suddenly amazing for two months.

[Mike]

Money well spent eh
