Sorry, what's "football" again? Rings a bell but can't quite place it...

 

[Oldun]

Only 1650 tickets for this sold so far. Pretty poor show from us, especially with our lack of games recently. Thought people would be snapping these up.

Probably expecting it to be cancelled again?

Why? No covid in our squad and Wolves played on Monday?

 

[BigBed]

Dont know, maybe because the last 3 matches have been cancelled?? Still 4 days to go......

 

[Wards]

No covid in our squad

There is. Or definitely was.

 

[GVBlade]

Put it on the tele. Why not on SUTV, I'm missing Rob Kozluck's exciting voice and insightful comments.

 

[Ridgeway Blade]

We are bound to have a good run because the football gods will have decreed that a good cup run will give another three of four (or more)matches and that will completely mess up our already congested fixture list enabling and mean we will miss out on a play off place by one point.

Nah, we’ll get to the final against a London team and latest Covid strain will ban inter city travel to game !!

It's true, the FA Cup does lose some of its lustre when some of the big clubs (like Wednesday) get knocked out in an amazing act of giant killing, but I'm up for it!

 

[SUFC Handsworth]

Want us to win the cup before I die

I'm with you on this one pal. Put a full first team out and give it a good go, hopefully Wolves but a few reserves out too. I wouldn't if I were them but fingers crossed they do.

 

[Keen Blade]

Do you have the gift of eternal life ?
You must be one o dem Immortals , if you give this hope any room in your head.

 

[Keen Blade]

Are you like me then ?
You only watch a game of football if dem Blades are playing in it ?
I don't think I've watched more than a handful of games which don't involve dem Blades.
Oh , maybe a few FA Cup Finals when winning it actually meant something.

No way !
Dem Blades Way is to miss out on GD

Don't worry , they'll have relocated Wembley to Swillsborouh Pigsty by the time we get to a Final

It’s all that I think about

For me, we have to throw this game or go with a very weakened team with fringe players. Tell them, if you win then you play the next cup game.

We cannot afford to win this game if we are playing the first team. It would be bonky madness

[Aston max]

Couldn't give a fat fuck about the FA Cup, TBH

Priorities:

1. Jettison some of Wilder's duds
2. Sign at least one MF, one LWB and a LCB
3. Pick up the momentum to advance toward the top of the division

Couldn't agree more

Just seeing those GKs at the beginning put me off reading the rest, soz.

 

[bongleblade]

Has to be the full 1st team squad for this one imo

in a way it is ideal for our 1st game back to be a cup tie after this lengthy time off.

A chance to shake off the dust and introduce the recently injured players back in to action such as Brewster. Would also like to see Moose get a run out too.

I just hope we don't come up against Adama... he will have Davies and Stevens in absolute bits by the end of the match

to be fair its Sunday afternoon which makes things tricky i wouldve gone if it had been on a saturday & Also we arent big fans of the FA Cup 3rd round we dont get big crowds. in our last 2 home games we got 11,000 about 40% of our league attendances .

i think we also only had 3 if you include the ticket sales for arsenal that never was. i think we have only had 20,000 at bramall lane for cup game since that game v Tottenham

U23 Goalkeeper then?

The 1st team need games to get them match fit. We need to play our best 11 available and make use of the 5 subs allowed to get them at least 20 mins each

 

[Champagneblade]

yes its at premier league ground

Its reassuring that it will be Robert Jones, the one who gave the penalty for a foul outside the box vs Bournemouth and then not contented with levelling the game went one better by missing an offside in the build up to their goal.

Although I can appreciate where you're coming from, I am concerned about the number of games we have left and to add to them with cup games we could be looking at 3 games a week for several weeks.

anyhooooo, we will lose to Wolves on Sunday, so not an issue after that

 

[Kozzy_is_my_Dad]

Much better since BT binned off the rights and ITV bought into It. 10 3rd round matches on free to air TV over the weekend, as it should be...even if the match picks are somewhat predictable.

Absolutely fucking right.

 

[Kozzy_is_my_Dad]

After so long off, I'll be happy just for us dusting off the cobwebs and looking organised and making a good account of ourselves.

I'd rather use this to get back up to speed, than a league match which matters much more.

Fucking great, was at Bournemouth and he was definitely a homer

 

[diode_blade]

No they wo

Don't worry , they'll have relocated Wembley to Swillsborouh Pigsty by the time we get to a Final

No they won't, it will have fallen down by due to rustyitus

 

[Berkshire Blade]

Covid is in our camp. A couple of cases according to Heckingbottom.
