Re: The FA Cup Thread

Ah, thx. "Magic of the Cup" - yeah, that really has a similar vibe to our saying. I take it that the FA Cup is a one-legged issue unless there is a draw? Do you have extra time and penalties after the second match if that is a draw as well, or do you go into a third rematch? And does the away goals rule apply, too?

In Germany, our Pokal is always one-legged and decided with extra time and penalty shoot-out right away if there is a draw.

There's no away goals rule (as they're considered separate games) and draws in initial matches go to replays, and draws in those replays are now decided by ET and penalties, though it used to be the case that there would be as many replays as were needed to decide a winner.

That's how the League Cup is structured in England (apart from the semis of course).

We've drawn the winner of MK Dons v Northampton Town away for the 4th Round.

by Kick Tue 12 Jan 2016, 01:52

Should be another win for us, then.

by Shed Tue 12 Jan 2016, 04:14

Let's not get too presumptuous about it. This side has never been averse to losing to opponents it should be beating easily.

by Kick Tue 12 Jan 2016, 04:24

Guus is putting a lot of energy into the FA cup, by the looks. I doubt we'll take it lightly, and I doubt we'll put in a poor performance.

by Shed Tue 12 Jan 2016, 04:25

Here's hoping! Thumbs up

by Kick Tue 12 Jan 2016, 04:26

I'd love to win it again, it's been too long since we have.

by Shed Tue 12 Jan 2016, 04:27

Especially considering our history in it in the last 20 or so years.

by Kick Tue 12 Jan 2016, 04:30

Exactly.

Plus, if we fail to get anywhere near European spots in the league, winning the FA cup will send us into the Europa League, which is better than nothing.

by Shed Tue 12 Jan 2016, 04:32

Absolutely.

City at home in the next round rofl

Full Draw

Urgh, hopefully we can have em though.

by Kick Sun 31 Jan 2016, 23:47

It'll be a hard game, but we need to go for the win.

by Shed Mon 01 Feb 2016, 01:29

We've been steadily improving and by then we should really be in form. I hope...

by Kick Mon 01 Feb 2016, 02:09

Well, Costa and Cesc are back in form, so if we can get Hazard back to his norm by then, we should be good.

by Shed Sun 21 Feb 2016, 19:16

Everton away in the quarters.

by Kick Mon 22 Feb 2016, 00:16

If we beat Everton, the only team who could beat us on our day is Man Utd, So things are looking good for us, imo.

by Shed Sun 19 Feb 2017, 21:48

United at home in the quarters Cool

The semifinal next weekend is now crucial to keeping our league campaign on life support. Spurs are already in the ascendency and smelling blood, and a victory for them there would boost that confidence tenfold while sending our own choking players even farther into their testicle-free shells approaching the final 6 games.

by Soul Tue 18 Apr 2017, 14:10

Ah Shed, optimistic as ever Laughing

Just have this feeling that it will be the game we will finally show up again. And plus, I highly doubt Spurs will be able to win ALL of their remaining games

by Kick Wed 19 Apr 2017, 02:31

Spurs won't will all the remaining games, no way.
