FA Cup third round and onward 2016

Tremendous day of football so far.

Payet should be off for that

Atkinson has had an absolute shocker

Fuuuuhhhhkkkkkk

and there it is

wasn't even a free either

Swap ye lvg for poch

Shtill in three competitions

ah well, at least I'm another couple of hours closer to death

fucker should be court-martialled for crimes against football

Absolutely

Lol at the guy directly above Rojo covering his eyes the whole time
Payet knew it was in as soon as he hit huh

One of the BT analysts was complaining there wasn't much spin on it and De Gea should have kept it out.

his positioning isn't great but like...

Its not the spin, its the placement. You don't always have to fool a gk to beat them.

Ugh chris

hilarious non-penalty/red card earlier too

Ikr

Thank god for lukaku

and again

the right result i think but christ what a shitshow. leicester should be heartened playing both of these soon

Fuck off.

Not sure why smalling didn't leave the cross for lukaku to clear tbh

ffs. Wycombe are knacking up an otherwise in-the-bag 5 fold. I thought these fuckers were supposed to be plucky little cup specialists.

ohh the magic of the Cup

Ah this is where we at. Wolves trve cupfighters etc

yeahh! I knew posting on here would incite a goal.

lol good ol' Akinfenwa pulling me out of the shit!

Lol.

Hudders cruisin. Tempted to put something on Preston tbh

could well imagine an upset there.

Lincoln wrecked my 24/1 sevenfold unfortunately.

just waiting on Dale and Wycombe to finish

well I'm 76 quid richer. The best thing is that it was a free £10 bet I got from a refund when 1 let me down on a 5-fold last week

excellent

Looks like I get to say "fuck off" three months earlier this season.

that makes it 21 years since we won an fa cup match, exiting at the third round for the 48th time in our history (only level with plymouth)

a blackburn fan i know excitedly suggested he and i should attend when the draw came out. seemed unprepared for my response

21 years since we won an fa cup match

I knew it was bad but this is literally unfathomable

some record is that, jeez I hope you bought some money today.

to give u an idea of the task, the last win needed the trevor sinclair goal

best mic drop ever though tbfttl

the principle of karma rly seems to impact qpr more than most

jfc preston just cocked up an open goal for 2-0

:D

arsenal just cocked up an open goal for 1-1

Maybe it's because my formative experiences as an Evertonian were FA Cup runs with thrilling home wins in front of capacity crowds, followed by agonising exits ('77 & '80 semis, '81 quarters), I really really hate going out of the Cup. I think my dad was the same (never heard the last of the '53 semi). Maybe also because, by January, it's the only possible thing we can win.

Home defeats seem especially bad. I never saw a Gordon Lee side (Gordon Lee ffs) lose at home in the Cup. (We did, but I wasn't there).

(League Cup. Doesn't count)

actually winning the cup didn't shake the bitterness then? :)

No, not really. Actually being at Wembley to see us lose to a Frank Jr goal in 2009, 29 years after Frank Sr scored that stupid bobbling 119th min header for West Ham at the Elland Rd semi replay brought it all back. Football is awful.

truth

the only truth

in our admittedly feeble cup run defence btw this from lfw is also spot on. the worst thing about the 21 years is we were barely ever moved to give a fuck

While it’s typical football fan madness to complain about the outcome of a random draw, is there not a fucking bone in that velvet bag they could maybe throw us one year? [..] Three ties with Blackburn, four separate matches with Luton Town, three with Sheffield United, three with MK Dons, two with Nottingham Forest, two with Burnley, two with West Brom – it’s like watching the plates go round and round in a motorway service station café.
