"Concentrating on the League" - the FA Cup 2019 and onwards

Arsunno)))

Not hearing much celebrating going on round my neighbourhood tbh.

Interesting that Frank didn't say anything that resulted in him getting charged by the FA after the match. Maybe not so passionate after all, hmm

lol come on Franchise

lol come on Blackpool

Watching Arsenal vs Newcastle. Crying whenever Tierney is on screen. Quite boring otherwise.

Andy Carroll spends more time in Newcastle's box than Arsenal's.

(Almost posted this in the US pol thread)

Tragically I was on the phone to my mom and missed most of this thriller between the two best managers in the Prem

If I was a Newcastle fan i'd've hung myself by now tbh

Sending offs now dependent on how loud you can scream.

Is Steve Bruce history's greatest monster y/n?

Classic Bruce team, don't concede for 2 hours, concede, fucked

Lol Arsenal getting excited about bullying on the flattest track in the world

Classic Danny Murphy, gives the MOTM to the guy who scored and then seconds later the best player on the park by a mile, Tierney, sets up the second goal.

Tierney versus West Brom was monstrous, the guy's gone super saiyan

Was gonna use an eleborate metaphor to suggest that Andy Carroll is a donkey but he doesn't deserve the effort tbh

Dion claiming that Carroll isn't a donkey maybe

Sorry bud stick to houses

Lol Crawley 1 up

Lol 2 up

Three!

Lol beat me to it

Obv Leeds missing Bamford

That should've been 4

rip leed

Not so much a giant killing as full dismemberment

They're putting on Mark Wright now to add insult to injury

Bielsa out.

Disrespectful imo

Result hasn't flattered Crawley

Disrespectful giving Wright a game I mean

Leeds will be concentrating on the league

Crawley lad high as a kite here, bless

I just watched highlights of Crawley's 1st round win at Torquay. They were two down and had their concussed 'keeper stretchered off, leading to 20min of added time. Levelled the match, went behind, equalised again - 3-3 at 90+20'. Then fell 5-3 behind, only to score three times in last 12min of ET. So, this is quite a run!

our manager is Bielsa's protegee and he put out a reserve side for our FA cup fixture we lost 3-2 against Plymouth yesterday, but at least we got this stunning Arron Rowe goal!

ah bollox I tried to timestamp, it is on about 1:52 if you can be arsed

15:45
'Clearly wasn't a priority for Leeds'

FT: Crawley 3-0 Leeds

Leeds fans will be so delighted with what Marcelo Bielsa has done during his time at the club, playing the football that they are, anything like this and they will always give him leeway.

This clearly wasn't a priority and he works his players very hard. They made seven changes, and if you look at the changes he made at half-time they were about rotation and giving the young players a chance. therefore you are taking a chance with your place in the FA Cup but who are we to question Bielsa.

who indeed

Who are you to doubt El Loco?

does Bielsa speak about himself in the third person? he could probably get away with it!

Slightly disappointed that didn’t go in.

Good from dele but problem is his every touch til now has been a flick to nobody and its not like hes any different against eg city

Fox in the box vibes off this lad

Thing is white is the player we all want to see on set plays, has a great rep

an old pal once had to flee Marine's ground after winning a unibond league fixture against them playing for Accy Stanley. He said they were a team of scouse bouncers and drug dealers and were going to kick the shit out of them if they hadn't legged it straight onto the coach!

Theyll do well to scare big charlie vinnie

I've been to Crosby dozens of times over the last few years (stayed with an old college pal when I visited for family reasons and my kids became friends with his kids), but can't quite place the ground. Other side of the railway line, away from the beach, I guess. Blundellsands end is quite genteel, Waterloo is a little rougher, but I guess if you're a successful drug dealer, the leafy 'burbs is where you end up!

One of my best friends is from Crosby and he went to public school, although he wasn't that posh in the end because his accountant dad ended doing time for cooking books! I've stayed there a couple of times, it's a very nice place.

my old pal might have been exaggerating a bit, but if the Marine squad was enough to put the shits up a thuggish monster like him they probably would have been fairly rough at the time.

Apparently local boy Roger McGough wrote a poem for the occasion? I missed that intro. I love that beach. Getting four kids away from their devices down to the sand dunes an impossible task, however, so I rarely get to walk down there when I visit L22.

Get a good look at devine, nabbed from wigan (iirc) in summer and has been bossing games at youth level despite being only 16

Yeah looks decent
