FA Cup third round and onward 2016

roll it just over the line, stop it, pick it up, gently jog back imo

bah this is what i get for not checking my own facts. damn u internet

- 96 vs tranmere was the last time qpr passed the 3rd round without needing a replay
- since 96 qpr have reached the 4th round four times: 2000,01,12,13
- since 96 qpr have been pitted against the exciting luminaries of chelsea(x3), arsenal (walloped by six), everton (walloped by four), and charlton

still wank

when was the last disrespectful tap-in? dimly recall a lower league kerfuffle a few years ago maybe

Having been kicked from pillar to post in one match, a 15-year-old [Robbie] Fowler was made to write a letter of apology to Bury’s reserve team manager after rounding the goalkeeper and stopping the ball on the line to kneel down and head it in.

tangentially relevant perhaps

nice to see bbc comparing ali al-habsi to a genocidal iraqi politician, because they both have the same first name.

^^ you tweeted that as well and I'm probably daft, but how are they comparing him to a "genocidal Iraqi politician" exactly?

They're comparing him to the cousin of a genocidal Iraqi politician, no? The original joke was in pretty bad taste too

oh wait, it's a direct quote from the commentator

Ahhh... "Content not available in your country', I cant see the vid, thought there was something in the text. N/m.

Hearing a female commentator on MotD now, a first?

Jacqui Oakley's been on there for ages

Never heard her before, soz. But good to hear.

Anyway, LG was implying that the BBC were making a comparison to Chemical/Comical Ali with their headline. But the commentator says "it gets more comical every time you see it" at the end of the clip and I doubt he was inferring anything

I refuse to believe that Millwall beating Bournemouth is the "biggest cup upset of the weekend". Just fuck the very idea of that being an upset.

Pleat described a Sutton players attributes today as being "tall, strong, black" so anything's possible with the Beeb

Oh man

we have a commentator on local bbc who always compares the likeness of any non-white players with one particular 90's era non-white player. It doesn't matter if there is no discernible likeness at all, it is always "he looks a bit like Baldry" who he probably once described as our very own Trevor Sinclair.

how's Children Versus Child Murderer going

damn, i'm edgy

nice to see joe gomez back

Jimmy Tarbuck, the only man never to make Ian St John laugh

Leeds united getting handed their own arses in that first half, but there is no way the big lads up front for Cambridge can run around like that for another 45

ffs as soon as I put RL commentary on for a laugh they equalise

sounds like there are some silly punts in the Cambridge defence :(

Leeds woke up and it all went to shit

Was jansson ever a member of a Belgian electronic body music group? Could definitely see him marching about in a leather apron

congratulations to artisanal Sutton Utd

awoooooo

Just turned on the telly, what the shit!?!? :D

deservedly so too

Pub's got the sound down on the tv and a cool jazz playlist, it's helping

liverpool kind of blew it there, gary

80% possession, one shot on target.

I just hope the Liverpool board never realise we got the better half of the dynamic duo at dortmund:p

gives us a chance to focus on (fucking up) the league

We already fucked that up. This week has been a p impressive fuck up of a promising season even by lpool standards

As much as anything it's good to see the improvement under Lambert. It'll be a miracle if we do owt in the Champo this season but we look like a team for the first time in 18 months

origi, sturridge, firmino all playing badly lately. the xmas season looks to have taken a lot out of them. klopp training them too hard, maybe?

i'm in the us so just saw the lineup and feel less bad about it. no consistency with all these changed lineups for cup games etc.

they really should try to sign somebody just to give the place a lift tho - i mean assuming there's a good option available, which there may not be.

Spurs looking to steal Liverpool's thunder.

Penalty for 2-0 Wycombe.

another club suffering would be nice

poor Rochdale, we are cruising at 2-0 and Wagner is giving the Mooy a run-out to torment them.

some cajones from wycombe

they already have a tradition being a classic plucky underdog in the FA cup, but if they pull this off it will be a famous win for them.

yeah they beat someone in the 90s, right? some italian striker unless i'm mistaken.

oh spurs just equalised

Spurs winner in the 96th!

oof that hurts

wasn't going in either

gits

xxxp you're thinking stevenage v newcastle in 97 if i'm not mistaken. giuliano grazioli

murder!
