Utd go through in the FA Cup against Leicester with an injury time header from Maguire.

Many clubs would be happy to pay it.

FA cup games are marginally better than International breaks but doest seem to be many games to get excited about this round. United game was terrible and we got lucky with the offside at the end to nick it. Not much magic of the cup at the moment.

What the - just saw Plymouth knocked Liverpool out!!

What the - just saw Plymouth knocked Liverpool out!!

This is why I love the FA Cup. No matter how many people try to put it down, it will always have a special place in my heart, I love the fact that it doesn't matter how many leagues & positions apart teams are, shocks like this are what make it great.

I know Liverpool fielded a second team, but still.

It was still a decent team looking at the team sheet. What a day of legend for Plymouth. Beating a squad team from the undoubted best team in the country (possibly Europe) this season. I’d love to see what the atmosphere was like there.

Villa knocked out Spurs too. Ange could be gone any day at this rate.

My reverse psychology worked I see

Magic of the cup, never doubted it. Didnt really see Plymouth of all teams being able to turn Liverpool over, even if they didnt have all the big guns but there you go, the cup can still do that. No trebles or quads this year which is good.

The FA cup owe you a big cheque for your contribution to the best advert for it in that round.

Birmingham Newcastle was a good tie too even though the PL team prevailed.

Looking at the draw it looks like another good chance for a Newcastle, Villa or Bournemouth to make the final. City and United will be close to it potentially but if they draw each other in an earlier round or go out then it is nice and open for the rest.

Lovely chip into danger by Grealish ahead of a goal by City after Real had the better chances to that point.

Good point. Just realised Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool and Spurs are all out, so it could really open up if a couple of the big sides remaining are drawn against each other. Brighton aren't the most straightforward, but they're out of form, and I'm happy to be at home at least.

 

[Iceman]

Looks like a mis-hit from Mbappe but it ends up in the back of the net and counts. 1-1.

 

[Iceman]

Great game with City giving it away at the death and Real picking up 2 goals to win the tie 3-2 and go to the Bernabeu with a big advantage.

 

[BlackFox]

Great result for Madrid and some real work for City to do to get through now, will be tough to go to Madrid and turn this over with their defense this season not looking all that sound.

Didnt watch the game only the highlights as the Exeter v Forest game turned out to be an excellent cup game as well that went all the way to Pens with Forest eventually coming out on top. Magic of the cup though, said it all along.

Added time equaliser for Everton this evening in a 2-2 draw for Liverpool.

Not the worst result for us and we hold a 7 point gap between us and Arsenal in 2nd place.

Glad you're back here. Might as well enjoy while Liverpool are odds on to win the title and with a fair shot at the CL!

Arsenal needed to get a striker to challenge, and also aren't quite the same without Mr Consistency Saka providing an assist or goal nearly every game. Will be a huge surprise if Liverpool don't win at least the PL, and a decent chance of more.

Yeah I had that game in the background, only looking when the goals went in really. l love that even in 2025 it's not just complete steamroller domination from the PL.

Damn, I was hoping Marmoush would get off to a good start in the PL but not against us!

City beating us 4-0 with a 14 minute hat-trick from Marmoush!

Battle of the big team strugglers - Spurs go 1-0 up against Utd through Maddison. At least someone is guaranteed some points today, can’t have both Utd and Spurs getting zero points (like usual!).
