FA Cup 🏆

[garygooner]

I still love the FA Cup even though it's not quite the same as back in the 70s/80s. Clubs & fans eagerly awaiting the 3rd round draw. A chance for the smaller clubs to make a giant killing. Some interesting ties to look forward to:

Liverpool vs Accrington. 

Chelsea vs Morecambe.

Tamworth vs Tottenham. 

Newcastle vs Bromley. 

Leeds vs Harrogate.

No shocks as yet, but one surprise result; Clarets v Bluebirds. The FA Cup can certainly upset the form-book. I'm thinking that the The Lambs v Spurs game could give us a interesting result. Has banana-skin written all over it.

 

Most interesting match for me personally; The Os v The Rams

FA Cup is great. Spurs going to Tamworth & seeing their ground, pitch, dressing room etc. 

Coverage on TV is great. So many games. I'll probably keep my eye on Liverpool vs Accrington, Leicester vs QPR, Norwich vs Brighton, Tamworth vs Spurs & Arsenal vs Utd ... plus others.

Any idea what Thai channels you can view the FA cup on other than the Internet, live stream etc

I've just checked, it doesn't look like the FA Cup is on Thai TV. They just have a Bundesliga match. 

I'm watching on TrueVisions. 

BeIN Sports etc.

An FA Cup surprise. 

Bees 0 Argle 1. 👍

Biggest surprise result so far yesterday. Beez 0 - Plymouth 1

 

Only been two so far. Cardiff winning at Turf Moor and Plymouth making the trip to West London and returning very happy pilgrims.

You are reading my mind Gary.

Havertz is pretty much a joke at this point, how embarrassing to dive like that.

Tamworth match was interesting. 

True FA Cup encounter. I think the icy, artificial pitch helped even out the game a little. Spurs needed to make those subs. 

As for Arsenal vs Utd, I actually went to bed at half-time. I thought it might go to extra time & pens.
