5th Round FA CUP ties

Chelsea v Leeds brings back memories of that amazing final in the 70,s

Leeds look big to me at 6.6 so had a bit of that (wed)

Odd to throw in a midweek round.

The magic of the cup.....

indeed i didnt realise it was until this thread was posted

peter osgood diving header in old trafford replay under the lights ,david webb with winner, eddie grey scoring at wembley ,leeds in  red socks are my memories,maybe the socks were yellow, it wasd over 50 yrs ago,one of great finals 2 giants of the day

i think both peter osgoods diving header and alan clarkes cup final header against arsenal i think,wernt asctualy diving headers in the strictest sense but headers with a dive to follow

Southampton play tomorrow night.

luton for a shock

Don’t want to nit pick 1st time poster whilst Eddie grey played in both games he didn’t score .

Agree about two fantastic finals

Trivia who was the only player to play in the Wembley game but not the old Trafford game ?

On your 844 post do you know why the pitch was in such bad condition?

Citeh taken Hatters seriously
KDB/Haaland start

Anyone know if VAR are in action in tonights games? There was no VAR for the Coventry game last night.

I was under the impression that Var is only available in premier league teams in the FA cup; might be wrong though

Hatters are trying
HARD
Only HAALAND in the way

Jimnast
Wembley,Show jumping?

Leicester through !

Blackburn defender knocks the ball straight to a Newcastle forward in the box for a great goalscoring chance ...

Danny Murphy says ... "It's great defending.."

Never in doubt.

Long trip home at 10.45 for 7,200 Newcastle fans.

At least they are happy.

glad newcastle got through.  players, fans, whole club desperate to win the cup.  credit to the competition. 
blackburn did well.

Good cup tie that was.

Correct penzance horse of the year show

Potential manu vs Pool  qf
Probably Forest will scupper it

Leeds look like they're tanking this game, Bamford on the bench, Chelsea strong line up, should be a win to nil

Chavs LOSING

OMG due to shocking camera work; they missed the goal; sack the editors of football games; tv coverage is getting worse

So who put the red clothing in the Leeds kit to make them wear pink; only the Keeper has Leeds colours on

Rashford leading the line for United, as Fergie said, he's not a striker, then again neither is Origi, 0-0 full time.

What a dreadful game. You could be right SH.

.... how can professional players miss the target when shooting in the penalty box!

I was about to say the same thing mac. Since Kane left, only Haaland can be more or less guaranteed to shoot straight out of the entire Premier League! The shots are going 6 feet or more over the crossbar!

Watching Haaland last night, I was thinking the exact same thing Sage. Why does he score so many goals, same with Harry, because the majority of their shots are on target! Professional players skying them over the bar time after time from shots inside the penalty box. Hit the bloody target! It`s not Rocket science!

didnt see this fred...

Forest v Utd...

End to end, Has to be goals in the second half... Ten-Hag really, really, really wants this one...

Though Forest are giving a little more than they're getting... imo.

David Guest can't get Brighton up for this one, Wolves 1-0 full time.

Rashford taken out by 2 players, not a penalty,
not even with var... Lol

They want extra time and pens, more air time for sponsors

Forest sitting back.. Utd are making good chances but scuffing or miskicking final shots!!

Citeh larfing their head off
Manu playing extra time  before the drbi

Pochettino Can keep his job for another week... 3-2

VAR long wait

3 minutes and counting

0-1 confirmed

Looked like Newcastle goal v Arsenal and they couldn't draw lines so onfield
decision stands.

Looked a good goal anyway.

VAR pisses you off, even when it goal stands in my favour. Ruined the game. Hate it.

year I really wish they'd scrap VAR

An interesting flashpoint saw Bruno Fs throat being grabbed and squeezed. Is this not deemed a red card? Not that it matters just assumed that was clear violent misconduct. Seems worse than a face slap.

Absolutely.. VAR checked it as said it's okay!.. Shocking!

I feel as it was right at the end of the match they might have just left it, I don't know. It's so weird how there is no consistency in the game. Same applies to no stoppage time in the City vs Luton match. Seems a new rule is there are no rules

It's annoying as a punter as if you are on red card today or another goal in the City match yesterday you haven't really had a fair outcome.

Hand on throat but no force.

It's not a red card.

There was enough pressure on that grip to his throat.. Cannot be acceptable ever! imo.. or they would all be doing it.
