FA Cup Final  

Arsenal vs Aston Villa

[Dolphin Ziggler]

Well, we're out

[Crimey]

AFC Wimbledon should be a nice easy try, it will end up not being.

[NickisBHAFC]

Brilliant draw as a whole. Looks like were going out but at least I get to watch us go out drunk on a terrace!

[westisbest]

Blackpool home.
Could have been worse. They are fighting foir there lives.

We probably wont get far anyway, who knows.

[hampo17]

I have no doubts that Liverpool will struggle past Wimbledon even with a strong team out. Great draw for Wrexham though, Stoke away. Grab a draw at there place and then bring them back to the Racecourse, it'd be rocking!

[Marky]

Dover v Palace looks a great draw.

Already sick of the AFC Wimbledon v Liverpool tie, so much nonsense about "memories" of the 1988 FA Cup final, which was about 15 years before AFC Wimbledon existed.

[BlueCoverman]

Cardiff away for us, bit of a trek and probably not the draw we were hoping for. Just pleased to be in the 3rd round though to be honest and hoping that we can build on our win against Peterborough on Sunday.

[CFCNick]

Got a mate texts me how easy our draws are. I said it's the 3rd who cares? Plus the teams we get drawn against have got this far so they can get us. Win win for both clubs.

I can't stand AFC Wimbledon.

No Coloccini, Colback, Sissoko or Perez. I thought Pardew was woeful for us in the F.A Cup, looks like Carver is following suit. Why would you not play your best team, especially with your job on the line?

[Guest]

Good to see the magic of the F.A Cup, no wait, there's nothing happening, hardly any goals & many empty seats. Bring back the PL action.

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

We're so Poopie man

[Guest]

We're so Poopie man

Join the club. What has happened today is nonsensical. John Carver is essentially fighting for the job, so he sends out a team with no sissoko, perez, coloccini or colback. We're safe in mid-table of the PL, unlike Leicester, so we decide to rest players for absolutely no reason whatsover. It was woeful under Pardew in the cups & now we have gone out to Brighton twice, a relegated Cardiff & now a struggling Leicester City side. Absolutely f******* disgraceful.

Well done John Carver, you've essentially had your audition & you fuc*** it up with flying colours. What a joke!!

[Guest]

My WBA are through, nice hat-trick from Berahino, think we'll see some offers coming in this window.

Was watching Sky before kick off & all the pundits & particularly Merson were saying the one side that didnt need to rest players was Newcastle, given their position. Incredibly strange line-up, must be so frustrating for the Toon fans.

[Ent]

Newcastle are always at this and I never understand it.

They could win a cup, they can't finish in the top 4 and won't finish in bottom 3.

They should be resting players for fa cup games not the other way round.

[Guest]

Essentially, we've rested players for, guess what..............Chelsea AWAY!

[NickisBHAFC]

Norwich

[Mat]

Was only Gateshead admittedly, but Berahino's finishing today was great, three of his four goals were superb strikes. Looks to be hitting a bit of form again.

[NickisBHAFC]

He will be off then. Can't blame the
Bloke.

[Guest]

Max Power must be delighted to wander the earth with a name like that.

[mystiroakey]

Pardews first game is in a field ..


And he is playing a pretty strong squad. Zaha and Gayle will be thinking it's fill your boots time.

[NickisBHAFC]

Come on Dover! This is what the cup is all about

[mystiroakey]

Nick you are doubling Dover's support!!

[NickisBHAFC]

Stupid post about a well supported non league club. Nothing am against palace, just love cup upsets. Luton, Shrewsbury, Stevenage, Histon, Warrington, Hereford, Sutton etc!

[mystiroakey]

You are Brighton and you call palace scum every day.

Its pretty obvious you will support dover.. And take a joke!!

Anyway. I didn't realise Murray was back so soon. Good to see..

[NickisBHAFC]

Why palace loaned him out I'll never know. He could of had 5 already.

[mystiroakey]

Haha..

Dover fans are hanging of trees to watch the game. Classic.

[CFCNick]

This is boring. Dover fans are sooooo flat.

[hampo17]

Yeovil opened their turnstiles two hours early and the ground is full already, shows just how much this competition means to the fans.

[NickisBHAFC]

I'm bored.

[mystiroakey]

Yep.. Dead game. Way to easy.

[hampo17]

You were playing Dover, what did you expect?

[hampo17]

Sheff UTD however have destroyed QPR, 3-0 at the moment.

[mystiroakey]

You were playing Dover, what did you expect?

Under normal circumstances I would have expected it to be a cagey affair.

But with the new manager syndrome and all players fighing for favour. I expected this.

[Fernando]

Id bet a my bag of skittles & a Mango that 'Arry blames his fringe players attitude for their performance like last year

[mystiroakey]

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Crystal Pards off to a flying start

[hampo17]

Come on Yeovil

[Duty281]

All Dover have got is a million refugees (as the song goes).

All Yeovil have got is Kieffer Moore - lovely Kieffer. He was playing for Truro against Falmouth in the summer of 2012 in a pre-season friendly, a crowd of about 150 if memory serves, scoring the winner past my old PE teacher.



Now he is starting on the same pitch as De Gea, Rooney and Falcao. That's what the FA Cup is all about!

[mystiroakey]

Wilson gets a  start.. Nice.

[Fernando]

Citeh 0-1 Sheff Wed
Southampton 1-1 Ipswich

[NickisBHAFC]

Come on Wednesday!

Yeovil holding there own at the moment. Come on the glovers! Got a lot of my family at the game today!

[hampo17]

Wrexham still 0-0 with Stoke, probably played the better stuff based on the radio commentary as well.

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Van Gaal is playing five defenders and a defensive midfielder against the team bottom of league one.

Mind boggling

[hampo17]

Just hit the bar! Johnny Hunt just came the closest to scoring in that game, guarantee John Walters will come back to haunt Wrexham now though as he's just come off the bench.

[Hammersmith harrier]

Van Gaal is playing five defenders and a defensive midfielder against the team bottom of league one.

Mind boggling

What would be the point of playing a formation we're not going to use in the future Olly, 3-5-2 is how he wants to set up so makes sense sticking with it regardless of the opposition.

[Duty281]

Michael Owen saying McNair should have been red carded for his handball sends his commentary career to a new low.

Yeovil looking good, but Manchester United will improve after the interval.

Play the formation to win the game is my personal thought

As for the 3-5-2, when I've seen United this season they've looked a lot better playing the diamond than that, so not sure why he's persisting with it

[hampo17]

Wrexham!!!!!!!!!!!

[Liam]

I think when we have the players fit, we'll play the diamond. I'm hoping anyway because this 3-5-2 formation just does not work for us. Hopefully, we will see:

De Gea
Rafael Jones Smalling Shaw
Carrick
Herrera Mata Di Maria
Rooney Falcao/RVP/Falcao
