And they lambast the teams for not playing proper squads?

We’ve had a break out which has closed our training facility we’re all our teams train.

They destroyed it the day they allowed Man Utd to sit out and moved the final to 5.30.

Well if we win we win if we lose we lose but let’s not bang on about the romance of the cup if a team taking its GCSEs loses to Shrewsbury.

Typical Echo sensationalised headline given the FA said ;

“However, if a club does not have the sufficient number of eligible players available due to COVID-19, this should be reported to The FA at the earliest opportunity and would be referred to the Professional Game Board for consideration”.

So, are we expecting a mixture of first-teamers in need of minutes and some of the younger lads or a team made up entirely of kids?
Hope it’s the former and we can put out a side good enough to see these off. Their chairman was a right dickhead last time we played them, hope we give them the bare minimum financially and avoid any grand gestures.
Just noticed Coote is the ref. They’re easing him back in gently after giving him the cup game at Preston earlier this season. Again, the club should treat him with the contempt a cheat deserves.

Check out Millwall’s goal v. Crystal Palace :rofl:

In truth, if they are struggling for numbers it may have been that those that played are the only available…

…maybe…

First upset of the weekend well sort of Burnley out at the hands of Huddersfield.

Newcastle 7 minutes from exiting the fa cup

What a save.

Did Trippier say why he went there… if it’s not money or evidently Trophies.

Newcastle are out out out.

Dusted by a bottom half League One side. Hopefully, they’ll have a chance at revenge in regular league play in a couple of years.
