FA Cup

[TJB.]

As if the fixture wasn't unattractive enough, that kickoff time is diabolical.

£5 tickets or you can forget it.

How much do we reckon the tickets will be? Can't be more than a tenner

The League is the bread and butter and what in the modern age you are judged on, the cup runs were fun but the League..

..shambles of a summer transfer window (only rivalled by the 2025 one)
..negative tactics in League games.. “don’t lose the point you start with”
..weird obsession with Chasing certain names, O’Grady, Brayford, leaving us with no options when the deals couldn’t be done.
..Signing Higdon and making him captain
..bursting the budget and leaving us in a soft embargo
..suggesting we get rid of the Academy to save money..

Quite honestly I was delighted when he was sacked.. yes we still had the season of doofus Adkins to endure but another season or two of Clough would have finished us off.

Ricky summed him up well. Stubborn dickhead who’s football knowledge stemmed small towns on the A38. They asked him what he’d change in his 3rd season and he said nothing, hence why he was fired.

The £15 against Palace wasn’t unreasonable however just after the Christmas break unless you have a dodgy Dave special box TNT is about £32 per month as an add on to Prime (presuming you have that)) if not add another £9, if the ticket prices are too steep and with the kick off time as it is, you could activate the subscription on Boxing Day and cancel it. You would then get all the festive football and FA Cup games too and a potentially few others towards the mid to end of January. No queues, no shit beer and service in the ground and enjoy it at home.

Coming from Chezzy, they used to call the game against Mansfield…The coal-field Classico

Surely, surely El Classicoal

I’ve just looked at their squad/backroom staff and I can’t see a link, am I missing one?
If not He’s not daft, making friends in the lower leagues to send young players to on loan or has he got his eye on one of their players? Or maybe he’s just being kind?!

Reckon a much changed side for Sunday. A. Davies, Mee, McGuinness, Burrows, Blaster, Ings, One, all probably will start. Seriki, Soumare, Cannon, Bindon will probably get the nod as they've had effectively a week+ break. Have reinforcements like Hamer, O'Hare, Riedewald, Campbell, Bamford, Brooks, McCallum, Tanganga, on t'bench in case the B team doesn't make anything happen in the first half.

On the FA Cup generally, TNT sport have now grabbed the rights for the majority of the live games, there’s only 9 (NINE) Saturday 3pm kick offs for FA Cup Third Round day, and only 2 games on the BBC.

Am I complaining because I no longer have TNT sports, maybe. But it’s a bit of a ‘games gone’ moment for me.

3rd round weekend used to be one of the best weekends in the football calendar and now it feels like a watered down beer.

Unless you have BT TV with TNT (match is on TNT 8 on BT TV in the UK) then its £30 everywhere else for the month. Never had the FA Cup so restricted Carabao Cup used to be/is like this but not to watch it for a day pass etc. May as well pay £10 and go see the match in person.

One of the few times I’ll forgive a pitch invasion.

Magic of the Cup!!

At least if we lose tomorrow, it won't be the most embarrassing loss in the round.
