FA Cup 3rd Round

Brentford away would have been good, only London club never been to


When is the last time we played Brentford, guessing here but i think its in the 1930s?

So another 'exciting' game against Fat Sam. Oh joy.

I'd love us to win the FA Cup for the third time in a row, but the odds are against us I think.

Don't think the players will have the mental edge to try and win this again after most of them have already got a couple of winners' medals.

Depends on if we get through the 3rd round and how the league is looking by the 4th round.

Well it's the only winnable trophy, let's face it. I hope we get kind draws

I just hope TOF doesn't take a dive, as he has done in the past, and focuses on the unwinnable Be All and End All, then contrives to bottle the PL again leaving us with fuck-all at the end of the season.

Then again, given how he didn't bother signing a 'big signing' like Ozil and Sanchez in the summer, perhaps we just don't have the 'lift' to win the cup again. I hope I'm wrong.

Yeah, depends on everything around the game and after christmas. See how the 3rd round goes and then, if we get through, who we get and the injuries, etc...

I see they've picked United and Chelsea at home against lower league opposition. I'm so glad we get the chance to see those 2 again.
It must have been all of 2 days since we saw them last.
Apparently, everyone one of United FA CUP games over the past 10 years has been live on TV......................................

Wife will be please I don't have the football on that Sunday afternoon then

Think Allardyce will pick a lot of reserves for this one, his target is understandably staying up

And his bonus is probably aligned to that also

Their record league attendance was when the Arsenal visited in 1938,

38,358 at Griffin Park.....so many clubs seem to have their record attendance when the Arsenal visited :D
