So much for toon fans boycotting St James Park, I hear our game is sold out.     

[Fromola]

Brentford and Leicester. Live on BBC 1. Hailed as one of the ties of the round. Both teams put the second string out.

It really us dying on its arse the Fa Cup.

[Dim Glas]

Sounds like Brentford aren't going for this, resting many of their players according to the commentry  here - I've no idea, as I never watch them. Shame really, they may have had a chance, but then again, promotion would be the massive prize for them this season.

[Gerry Attrick]

Are we all excited for the magic of the cup tomorrow? Hope you've got your FA Cup bingo cards ready, I reckon Coventry losing to Sutton will be what I call house on.

[Dim Glas]

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

yep, this is going to be really really dull.

Danny Ward playing for the Foxes here. Can't remember did he leave the year Karius turned up or was it when Alisson did?

I seem to remember he wanted first team football but left to be Schmeichels backup.

He left just before Alisson came because the local hacks were parroting the crap we were considering him as our number 1.

Left at the start of 18/19 I think.

Not sure what the situation was -if he pushed for it, or what, cos it was a strange move for 1st team football. Maybe Liverpool pushed for it too, being as they got a great fee for a player who wasn't ever going to make it here, and isn't really very good.

Leicester have a strong squad tbf so can afford to make changes with a semi final in midweek but when even Championship teams are writing off the Fa Cup despite a sell out crowd on bbc it's a sad indictment

Yeah it’s a shame but it’s understandable. They have a real chance of making the play offs. They were due to play Forest in the League today but it’s rearranged to Tuesday and that’s a big game.

Their best two forwards aren’t even on the bench today. There’s no regular started in this line up, the only two who have featured a fair bit are Jeanvier and Mokotjo but they’ve lost their places in recent months. Of the rest I’ve only heard of Zamburek and Marcondes but they rarely ever start.

Leicester have made changes too but obviously have more depth and a few first team squad players  on show. Looks like it will be comfortable for them.

46 game season, playing a direct rival for promotion on Tuesday and a fairly small squad. It’s a shame but I guess they’re looking at the bigger picture.

yeah its totally understandable, to have a chance of promotion, and for the season where they move into their new stadium would be amazing for them.

Just makes for a shit game, but serves the league/FA/EFL/etc etc right, they want to have as many league and cup games each season, give little monetary insentives in comparison to the league, so such is life. TV company gets lumbered with what is a really dull game, played like a training match that the premier league team will stroll through easily. Not that I have any sympathy for the TV companies either, as they want these games too 

[Gerry Attrick]

I don't know how good a lot of this Brentford side are but there's some belting names on show.

They also love a foul.

You’ll love it if Mbuemo comes on, very satisfying name to say!

................to Oxford fans?
 

[The Gulleysucker]

Paul, can you correct the thread title to say fourth, forthwith...ta.

[Gerry Attrick]

Leicester will need significant investment in the summer you'd say. You wouldn't want Albrighton, Gray, Choudhury, Fuchs and Morgan playing many games. They might be able to sell Gray to Matlock Town for a 4 pack of Lucozade Sport.

buy back Maguire for 8m?

[Garlicbread]

Heh. Danny Ward.

The person who kept leaking the teams on Twitter claimed Danny Ward was the "mole".

[BlackandWhitePaul]

Fixed it now.

I seemed to have some weird kinda brain fog going on earlier.

I blame the sardines

A mate was telling me tickets were going for £10 and if you were to take a kid with you it was £1 for them.

[Crosby Nick]

Josh Da Silva on, got a foot like a traction engine if given a chance to shoot.

[El Lobo]

What a dreadful cup tie this is

Shame for Brentford to get a big home tie, on the telly, and pretty much throw it.

[So… Howard Philips]

The rest are prime Everton material.

[Caligula?]

Leicester have been crap and yet Brentford have managed to be even worse.

What do you expect from a reserve game. Fa cup is dying on its arse.

[rebel23]

According to talksport Rodgers now unbeaten in 32 cup games going back to when Villa beat us in the semi final at Wembley

[oxenstierna]

Soton to knock Spurs out

[BlackandWhitePaul]

Fathead is going all out to win it   

[DelTrotter]

Strange Southampton v Spurs wasn’t moved for TV yet tomorrow we’ll get to see City’s strongest team at home to a championship sides reserves.

[RedForeverTT]

Fathead is going all out as he is worried he won’t be here next year especially if Saudi takeover was true. He is reaping the benefits of Benitez solid defence this year but it won’t be the same next year as the players are coached out of it.

[Fromola]

Fathead is going all out to win it   

At least if they make the final they'll take it easy against us on the last day

[BlackandWhitePaul]

Yeah, fuck Mike Ashley and fuck Fathead Bruce.   I have nothing but contempt for either of them.

[Samie]

Paul what do you make of your perspective new owner MBS of Saudi Arabia? 

[BlackandWhitePaul]

Paul what do you make of your perspective new owner MBS of Saudi Arabia? 

I take no notice of rumours or hearsay.   

But what do I think of him as a man?

I think he is the scum of the earth and should be violently killed and disolved in a bath full of acid.

Haha once bitten and all that but you do know this fool would pay anything Fat Mike asks for right? 

[Crosby Nick]

I heard he wears coats made with animal fur.

Aye but at least you'd get rid of Fat Mike.
