Villa, Brighton and Watford clearly didn’t give a shit about the FA Cup.

The league has to do something about the number of games. Loads of teams simply can’t be bothered anymore

You know there is 8 more games in the championship right? Pretty stupid excuse from PL sides.

Well you have to ask them. Brighton, Bournemouth etc have long since fielded weakened sides. It simply isn’t a priority

David Silva misses from on the goal line. Miss of the season so far.

That lad who said he'd score 40 a season if he played against Stones every week is the one who got Vale's goal :lol:

To be fair, Stones is shite. Can't wait for him to be out of the England squad once City bin him off.

Cept the goal was nothing to do with Stones. Wasn't his man.

City score a goal thats onside by a mm and the commentator says VAR is unfair and it should be offside.

Chelsea going with a fairly strong team. Spurs with pretty much the best they got. Sheffield plays with a pure B-side and I don't think anyone apart from Jagielka has played this season before.

I hope Fylde can knock them out!

I have not followed Championship much so I do not know much about them. Mcnair is playing though.

Rooney is playing for Derby so I think I will start watching that game. I think all 4 games with PL sides could be worth watching.

Possibly a dum question, but what's up with Chelsea's kit?

Cheers. Would be funny if Spurs went out but I'll watch Rooney then.

Yeah Mourinho would not be happy if they get knocked out here. He is certainly the manager that always go for the cups fully and he has won a lot of them as a result. Spurs vs City in the final would be a good bet based on that. Liverpool should in theory be the favorite to win it, but I do think they will rotate a bit too much and mess it up.

How much you make from winning the FA cup compared to 17th in the league (v possible relegation?)

About £100m a year difference I think.

No brainer for club owners who have relegation risk to force manager to play second string teams in the cups.

VAR up to it's usual tricks in our game....

No pen for Forest due to millimetre offside...

More positive note, can we keep wearing this retro kit all season please.
