Championship and below 2015/16

[Rooter]

Not sure, as this is the first time we have been drawn at home for years. Just charge the away supporters full price perhaps. Imagine if it was a big team like Leicester it would be full price, but a bottom half of the table team like Chelsea half price.

Looks like Boro have just agreed a fee for Jordan Rhodes, hopefully he'll be the goal scorer we need to fire us to promotion

And he's travelled to Boro for a medical, not gone to Oxford for their cup tie. Fingers crossed West Ham don't pinch him.

Excellent timing! He spent a month on loan with us a few years ago when he was just a kid and even then stood out as a talent, I wasn't really looking forward to his return tomorrow.

More home (closet) fans always attend their ground when Chelsea are on the road and in town, usually loads of empty seats before until the Super Blues arrive in town 😉😎

I wonder how many Championship & below teams will get past sterner opposition over the weekend, for some of them this weekend is their Wembly final 😜

Yes the 4th round is really our Wembley final. Now lets think, oh yes we got to the semi final last year. I suppose you didn't take any interest in the Cup after getting knocked out at home to the mighty Bradford City.

Hmm, I'll answer in a particular style not seen at present.

Where did I say everyone or referred to Reading, I clearly stated "some" so let's not get all protective hey 😜

you mentioned Championship teams, and for some of them this weekend being their Wembley final. A tad patronising.:mmm:

Good win today, against a decent Walsall team. hope the Walsall keeper is ok, nasty looking injury.11 goals scored in two rounds so far. Now for another home draw in the next round.

 

[HomerJSimpson]

Decent win. Need to take that form back into the league regularly though.

It's not patronising at all and today's results back that up, off the top of my head 4 of 5 fixtures that involved a PL team against a Championship team or lower all lost, fact!

The patronising bit is the fact you state that some Championship teams, would treat a win over a Premier League team as their Wembley Final. You seem to know a lot about how Championship teams/supporters think.

Anyway I am out, as I bow to your obvious greater football knowledge.

It is where a lot of Man Utd and Chelsea fans live :thup:

Fantastic game at Broadhurst Park today. FC United V Harrogate Town.
FC 3-0 Down after 36 Mins then Coming back to Win it 4-3. :whoo:

Lost my voice and a sore neck after a full on Goon when the 4th went in.
A cracking game all round and all for £9.

I remember years ago we were 3-0 down against Plymouth. Scored 4 in the last twenty minutes to win 4-3. huge number of supporters had left, and missed the comeback. I always stay to the bitter end.

Hard to beat a good comeback.:thup:

It had been a tight game even at 0-3 but we feared the worse with Harrogate being the Form team after beating top of the league 6-0 away last week.

Your right though, you can't beat a good comeback. The 3000 there sounded like 20000, great scenes and a lot of relief at the final whistle.

No I didnt, I clearly said that I wondered how many Championship teams and below would get past sterner opposition and then went on to say that for some it would be their Wembley day, nothing about winning, are you telling me that for Colchester it would not be like their Wembley day with an in form Spurs coming to town or for MK Dons having Chelsea come to town, yes there is history of FA Cup shocks but the odds on that just with those 2 soecific matches is very remote to say the least, so, it will be their Wembley day as the big boys are coming to town IMO.

Now for just saying that you seem to think it's ok to be condescending and spout things like "I bow to your greater lnowledge blah blah blah" now that on the back of just my big team little team clash opinion is very rude and patronising IMO !

I wasn't quite so happy when Arsenal came back from 4-0 down to beat us 7-5.

3000 is a pretty decent crowd.:thup:
