whelk Posted 26 January, 2020 Posted 26 January, 2020 Nice to be in it. All big boys still in for now. Always hoping for Portsmouth. One Show ratings must soar when they have the draw.

davefizzy14 Posted 26 January, 2020 Posted 26 January, 2020 A home draw against someone like Coventry or Birmingham would be good
ericb Posted 26 January, 2020 Posted 26 January, 2020 Skates at home of course Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
CB Fry Posted 26 January, 2020 Posted 26 January, 2020 (edited) I turned off the Shrewsbury game about two minutes after that own goal. What did I miss? Edited 26 January, 2020 by CB Fry
Shroppie Posted 26 January, 2020 Posted 26 January, 2020 I turned off the Shrewsbury goal about two minutes after that own goal. What did I miss?Nothing much. Couple of Shrewsbury goals, ref missed giving pen for Shrews too. Boring draw. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

Sent from my Pixel using TapatalkDancing in the streets of Shropshire tonight.... If there was going to be a result I never thought it was going to begin from 0-2 against "The greatest team on the planet " so I gave in to the children and put a film on. Very pleased for that kid who put it in his own net. Now thankfully not the story.
Saint_clark Posted 26 January, 2020 Posted 26 January, 2020 We'll get an easy draw with a great chance of progressing to the quarters, and then go out meekly to Spurs. Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk
Charlie Wayman Posted 27 January, 2020 Posted 27 January, 2020 I turned off the Shrewsbury game about two minutes after that own goal. What did I miss? Me too, what a load of crap. I'm sick of the big boys putting out 3rd XI's to play League 1 teams. It's a flippin' insult to the home fans who otherwise never get to see the likes of van **** and Mane play and to the players themselves who no doubt would relish the challenge of being up against the world's best. Even if Shrewsbury had been 5-0 down at HT at least the fans and the players would have had a day to remember fr the rest of their lives. Romance of the Cup? No wonder the Beeb got fobbed off with this non-event.

Whitey Grandad Posted 27 January, 2020 Posted 27 January, 2020 Lovren played ! The best player in the whole wide world ! Was his head with him or was it still in Liverpool?

trousers Posted 27 January, 2020 Posted 27 January, 2020 Home v Norwich (Pompey v Bournemouth or Arsenal)
Saint_clark Posted 27 January, 2020 Posted 27 January, 2020 So close to a Pompey game! Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk
IOWSaintDaz Posted 27 January, 2020 Posted 27 January, 2020 Blimey how close was that to getting the skates again
bpsaint Posted 27 January, 2020 Posted 27 January, 2020 ********!! So so close to getting those dirty inbreds!
davefizzy14 Posted 27 January, 2020 Posted 27 January, 2020 Happy with the draw, hope we can get the job done in the replay first! Did think for a minute we were gonna get the Skates again!
Pamplemousse Posted 27 January, 2020 Posted 27 January, 2020 Head in hands moment!! Would have loved them at home
SaintBobby Posted 27 January, 2020 Posted 27 January, 2020 Wanted the skates, was only 2/1 aginst when we come out at home. Ah well, not a bad draw if we can somehow get past Spurs
Bad Wolf Posted 27 January, 2020 Posted 27 January, 2020 Thank God. Really didn't want to play them again. We've got nothing to gain and everything to lose.
Saint Pete Posted 27 January, 2020 Posted 27 January, 2020 If we can dump Spurs out, great chance to make the quarters. Happy enough with that. Sent from my moto g(7) play using Tapatalk
OttawaSaint Posted 27 January, 2020 Posted 27 January, 2020 Head in hands moment!! Would have loved them at home From cock in hand to head in hands!
OttawaSaint Posted 27 January, 2020 Posted 27 January, 2020 Thank God. Really didn't want to play them again. We've got nothing to gain and everything to lose. Except several communicable diseases. Poor Valery has been sick with a mystery virus since going to that toilet of a town.
Lord Duckhunter Posted 27 January, 2020 Posted 27 January, 2020 Thank God. Really didn't want to play them again. We've got nothing to gain and everything to lose. Don’t talk nonsense man. Nothing to gain, pony. Smash 4 or 5 past them again in the same season. They’re league one ffs, we battered them when we were Shiite. We’re on our best run for a long time, we could seriously embarrass them. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
The Cat Posted 27 January, 2020 Posted 27 January, 2020 Even a scrappy 1-0 win with the ball deflecting off Ings' cock would be fine if we'd got them. Wouldn't matter what the score was as long as we won.
SNSUN Posted 27 January, 2020 Posted 27 January, 2020 Get in! Another chance to beat the wife’s team. Yes we were close to Skates but they’d no doubt rub it in if we failed to beat Spurs. Let them bask in their 4 nil defeat a little longer.
Matthew Le God Posted 27 January, 2020 Posted 27 January, 2020 Thank God. Really didn't want to play them again. We've got nothing to gain and everything to lose. Thrashing them twice in one season would be something to gain.
aintforever Posted 27 January, 2020 Posted 27 January, 2020 Would have loved to have smashed the skates again but Norwich at home is a decent draw.
Pamplemousse Posted 27 January, 2020 Posted 27 January, 2020 There is nothing like a derby game and there is no game like a game against the skates. Nothing competes. They really want Arsenal at their place, it'd be funny if Bournemouth win. Then they can all have a nice song and dance at Fratton about how much they hate us.
Lighthouse Posted 27 January, 2020 Posted 27 January, 2020 So in the first three rounds, we’ve had three home draws against Spurs, Norwich and a Championship team and the round 4 tie has gone to a replay. Sound familiar?
Lord Duckhunter Posted 27 January, 2020 Posted 27 January, 2020 Shame it’s not Poch’s spurs, we all know what he thought of the cup. Jose’s a different kettle of fish, going to be really really tough up there. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Baird of the land Posted 27 January, 2020 Posted 27 January, 2020 Glad the distraction of potential Pompey game was avoided
Jimmy_D Posted 27 January, 2020 Posted 27 January, 2020 Considering we're in bloody good form, have got a half decent chance of beating Spurs, Norwich at home in the last 16, and Liverpool aren't taking the FA Cup seriously, 100-1 seems to be a bit overpriced for us to win the whole thing.
JRM Posted 28 January, 2020 Posted 28 January, 2020 Odds are probably fair, if anything should be 1000/1 with our record over the last 40 years. You’d expect Man Utd, Man City, Arsenal, Chelsea, Leicester , if you add Spurs to that the last 8 looks very strong.
alehouseboys Posted 28 January, 2020 Posted 28 January, 2020 So in the first three rounds, we’ve had three home draws against Spurs, Norwich and a Championship team and the round 4 tie has gone to a replay. Sound familiar? It's had a nice ring to it but no Wolves and Hornets to continue the trend. But we have so far had the Terriers, Cockerels and potentially the Canaries. If all goes to plan we'll take the Shrews in the quarters and then anyone from the Owls, Bluebirds, Throstles, Magpies or Rams after.....the fish-fiddlers need not apply.

Yeah, in that time we've only been to 4 quarter-finals, 3 semi-finals and a final - I would say 10 million to one would be more accurate....
100%Red&White Posted 28 January, 2020 Posted 28 January, 2020 Just noticed the 5th Round ties are all midweek and no replays, the 'magic of the cup' is waning.
Batman Posted 28 January, 2020 Posted 28 January, 2020 Just noticed the 5th Round ties are all midweek and no replays, the 'magic of the cup' is waning. That is the agreement to fit in the break as we have it
Whitey Grandad Posted 28 January, 2020 Posted 28 January, 2020 Just noticed the 5th Round ties are all midweek and no replays, the 'magic of the cup' is waning. TV and the European competitions and their money and the big teams now dominate everything. The magic went out of football some time ago.
JRM Posted 28 January, 2020 Posted 28 January, 2020 Just noticed the 5th Round ties are all midweek and no replays, the 'magic of the cup' is waning. Yep games will be spread over Tuesday/ Wednesday/ Thursday that week, so if us or Newcastle get through and they put one of us on the Thursday we could find out league game the following weekend moving, it’s a bit of a mess really.
Stud mark of doom Posted 29 January, 2020 Posted 29 January, 2020 Yeah, in that time we've only been to 4 quarter-finals, 3 semi-finals and a final - I would say 10 million to one would be more accurate.... And the 40 year assessment period plucked from thin air happens to just exclude an actual cup win.
Batman Posted 29 January, 2020 Posted 29 January, 2020 And the 40 year assessment period plucked from thin air happens to just exclude an actual cup win. when did we win the cup again?
Saint Pete Posted 29 January, 2020 Posted 29 January, 2020 Just noticed the 5th Round ties are all midweek and no replays, the 'magic of the cup' is waning.Yeah, only a matter of time before FA Cup replays are scrapped altogether to keep the champions league clubs happy, who don't give a stuff about the competition. Maybe the time has come to allow them to not enter if they care so little about the cup? That way, the rules can be set to suit the clubs who want to play in it rather than those that don't.
