FA CUP 2020/21

Silly idea and I am not sure I can see any reason why they did it like that. No doubt someone will say because of Covid but again what has that got to do with it? My bank now closes at 3pm and you can’t use the counter past 2pm- Covid is apparently the reason for this as well so everyone crams into the bank at the same time! Crazy

It will confuse a lot of people if we end up playing Sheffield Wednesday, given the number of posters who refer to Sheffield United as Sheffield.

Always annoys me. It's like saying we're playing Manchester.

Im going to just say we are playing Wednesday.

That will 100% confuse them if we play on a Tuesday.

I cant believe it. Ive lived in Wycombe most of my life (my second team and first football match i ever went to) and ive wanted a competitive game against Spurs at Adams Park my entire life. Finally its here and fucking Covid ruins it.

I live a stones throw from the ground so i think im going to go down the road matchday and welcome the Spurs coach (socially distanced of course) and find a spot on this hill and try and catch a bit of the game (well the part of the pitch you can see from the hill).

Damn 'rona!!!

Top marks for the Avi! The Day Today or BrassEye?

Brentford’s COVID problems are going to give Leicester a big fixture jam a few weeks from now.

 

[Totti]

So we play Wycombe on a Monday.

3 days before we play Liverpool.

So we play Wycombe on a Monday.

3 days before we play Liverpool.

Whilst it would have been better to play at the weekend, I don't know why it wasn't, but Liverpool fixture list prior to playing us almost certainly means they will be playing their first team (with little to no rotation) as the play Utd twice before playing us.

They actually have to play 4 games in 11days

Whereas we can rotate our entire team to play against Wycomb and even manage a small handful of players before this game as we play the worst team in the League.

We play 3 games in 11days

No doubt though Jose will bitch like a wounded dog, inspiring us all ahead of the fixture, filling us and the players with supreme confidence.

Just noticed that the 4th round games are scheduled for around Saturday 23th Jan.
That date comes between Sun 17th Sheff U and Thur 28 Jan when we play Liverpool.
What are the odds we are given the Monday 25th slot?

Mystic Meg.
Fecking knew it.
Sunday
5pm | Manchester United vs Liverpool | BBC One

 

[ElTel]

Outrageous we have agreed to play Wycombe on the Monday 3 days before the Liverpool game. The club should have insisted on Sat or Sun

 

[LEGO Boy]

FFS. Playing on a Monday. How the hell has that happened? Utter joke

50/50 whether the match goes ahead ? 10 days self isolating and 10 days before match

Their next 2 games postponed, so next one for them is Spurs ! Plenty of rest time for them.

 

[sudoku]

50/50 whether the match goes ahead ?

AFAIK Wycombe have to play if they have 14 fit players.
If they haven't not sure if the game can be postponed or a bye given.

One 3rd round match postponed involving Southampton and Shrewsbury postponed due to covid, playing next week
