FA Cup 2024

[1882]

I really wanted to beat the scum in the final.................

I genuinely don't think I could have coped with that! ...seeing as there's always the chance we wouldn't beat them in the Final!!

I'd say a Saturday game 5.30 spot for this one or the Sunday game like the beeb had at 4.30.

There's no way this won't be Prime Time 'tea-time viewing... Saturday hopefully... give us an extra day before Brentford!

Had a look at this as well myself.

14-4-16 record v City since the takeover in 2008 is seriously impressive.
But since Guardiola came in we are 7-3-8 against Pep.

I’m guessing though that one of his wins was the 3-4 in the CL meaning we won on away goals rule??!!

I’m more concerned they won’t do the £50 for a family of four deal.

The Trust are on the case.

aka the Ivan Toney comeback hat trick game

It would have been nice to stroll into the 5th Round with an easy tie against a lower league club - and let someone else deal with City. Anyone who says different is either daft or deluded.
That said, they seem to get stronger as they progress through competitions, so it's better to put them out now than to have a harder challenge in the semi's or in the final.

We'll muller them, especially at corners.

We have a game on the following Weds. so I doubt it's a Sunday game.

5.30 Saturday would be my guess.

Not necessarily: Saturday/Tuesday and Sunday /Wednesday are quite normal fixture pairs.

Also, there's a full league programme that week with matches on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, with PL teams in five of the FA Cup ties playing on the Tuesday, so they will probably be given Friday or Saturday in the Cup.

I think that makes it more likely that we will play on the Sunday.

Ah, I see. Hadn't thought of or even realised that.

As ever, thanks mate

I can't see why one of those would be postponed.

Chelsea on 23 Feb will be though if the Chavs reach the Carabao final .

Hope so booked dinner for the missus birthday on Friday

They’ll probably get better (they can hardly get worse) so I’d rather get it done. They should get past Boro over two legs though so I think it will be postponed anyway.

Any ideas when the TV picks are announced?
