Starting tonight, Swindon v Man City kids.

We all love a cupset, but we all also know it's the PL clubs that win it.

I have to say that I like the radio coverage of mad Saturday when all the commentators are massively excited, and we whizz from ground to ground every time there's a goal.

    .

    I vaguely remember a div 2 team from east London winning it around 1980.

    There were no PL clubs in 1980 ;-)

    That was, according to Google, the last time a team outside the 'top' division won it.

    Jesus has to be the worst penalty taker in the Prem.

    So before our FA Cup game tomorrow, which would you rather have- win the Cup or finish 4th in the league?

    I know all the money implications of being in the Champions League but it’s not all about money is it ( or is it?)?For me it would be winning the cup all day long. I’m just an old romantic I s’pose but Ive got a wonderful picture in my head of Nobes going up to pick up the cup to finish his career.

    I'd sacrifice 4th, but not Europe altogether.

    We can do that, right?

    So the Palace goal would have been disallowed at Selhurst Park. πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ

    Palace got dominated for large parts of that.

    Olise is starting to look like a very useful left footed right winger

    But we've already got Bowen for that

    M...scum were kicking lumps out of Gallagher

    Andersen should have been red carded then yellow carded later on but Anthony Taylor decided against. What a surprise.

    Though we will need a back up for Mr Bowen come the summer, as his fellow left footed right winger Yarmolenko is almost certain to leave.

    (However Olise only joined Palace this summer, so I don't think he will actually be in the frame).

    See the Beeb have their finger on the pulse yet again -

    17:30
    GOAL - QPR 1-1 Rotherham
    Lyndon Dykes (115 mins)
    Late, late drama!

    Lyndon Dykes equalises for QPR in the final minute of extra-time to save the hosts and it looks like we're heading to a penalty shootout!
  • stevesteve

    Should have had a penalty there. VAR would almost certainly have awarded it.

    Really shouldn't be any VAR in the cup competitions if it can't be used in every ground.
  • IronHerbIronHerb
    The forward barged into the Hull player and put him off balance and so the ball hit him as he was falling. No pen.
