  • FA Cup

    Oh god not this again
    Was the last time we played Swansea in this God awful competition when Ollie was in charge.
    A 4-0 humiliation with that Sidibie bloke we decided against signing terrorising us?

    Yep, that's the one.

    Never forgotten it.
    Convinced the missus I simply couldn't miss the game and so we cut our holiday short by one day.

    Packed up and got away really early much to her and the kids disapproval.
    Only for there to be a prang on the motorway and we sat in traffic for 5 hours.

    Missed the game and got to listen to it in the pouring rain whilst stationary on the tarmac.


    By the way, I won't be going Sunday either.

      I remember going to the pub to watch that game against a then struggling 4th tier side expecting a win and instead witnessed an absolute drubbing led by Sidibe.

      I think John Hollins was the Swansea manager.

      No, I will not be watching tomorrow either.

        I think that was the last FA Cup match I attended
        Football played the Charlie Ferris way

            I would always say concentrate on the league but we've made a complete mess of it after dreadful runs so I want to see our strongest 11 tomorrow. We have to go for it as a cup run is all we have left to enjoy this season
            I played sunday league football today.

            Clearly I was the best player on the pitch.

            I scored 5 and made 7 last ditch tackles.

            We lost 5-0 but the rest of my team were sh it!

              Going to that final as a kid , I never thought we wouldn’t make an fa cup final again in my lifetime.We had good chances in the 90s when we had good sides but always managed to make a mess of it.

                  Number 2

                  The draw for the fourth round of the FA Cup will be held on Monday - and you can watch it live on BBC One and the BBC Sport website from 19:35 GMT.

                  Arsenal versus Leeds is the final match to be played in round three, with the draw held before that game starts.

                  Alex Scott, who played for England and Arsenal Women, will be joined by former Gunners defender and Leeds boss David O'Leary to pull out the numbers.

                  The matches will be played between Friday 24 and Monday 27 January.

                  Sixteen Premier League teams remain in the competition, although some are yet to play their third-round matches or need replays, while Northampton Town, ninth in League Two, are the lowest-ranked side who will definitely be playing in the last 32.
