    Morecambe v Hartlepool United The monkey-hangers, now non-league, are fancied to beat their struggling League 2 hosts. Don't think this is on TV though.
    There is an early kick-off featuring Shaw Lane Association v Mansfield Town.
    They don't even sound like a football team, but apparently they have a handy striker in one Damian Reeves!

    Everyone loves the MK Dons. Goodness knows why they don't drop the dons bit now, it might reduce (slightly) the animosity from Wimbledon fans.

    Hyde haven't lost at home in the league this season, hopefully it'll be a good game.

    Oh well, give me an easy life and a peaceful death.

    Hyde have a nice football ground. Not the kind the place bigger clubs would dread having to go to though. A absolute ****e pitch and a run down stadium can be something of a leveller against superior teams in the cup.

    Tough to keep playing that way for 90mins. They’ve a 6-4-0 formation from what I’d seen in the first half. Allowing City have that much possession, even with a packed defense, is asking for trouble.

    I'm puzzled as to why Dyche (and, more than likely, other managers fron now until the end of the season) try to "park the bus" against us. It's been shown up as a largely unsuccessful way to try to counter us. Even if it sometimes takes us a while to get there. We have so much of the ball that we tend to create lots of half chances on top of the full blown ones. I'd have thought that managers would have watched Palace against us, and go to school on that. They actually had a go (and could well have won). They arguably gave us our hardest game of the season so far. And all credit to them for that.

    Jesus BT messed up picking Norwich v Chelsea as the live cup game tonight, it was dire.

    About 5 shots on target, all in the second half. Chelsea were dire and Norwich never threatened, had even a shot on target.

    Ideal result as a rival. A ****ty replay I'd say Yee didn't want.

    The only good thing to have come out of days games is Hughes immanent sacking.

    Wonder have they suspended betting on his sacking yet.
    He's gone surely. What a dreadful result.

    Ideal result as a rival. A ****ty replay I'd say Yee didn't want.
    When are they scheduled?

    Not ideal for us but it gives another chance for some of the fringe players to get some minutes and prove themselves. Although tonight nobody stepped up and put in a good performance. Dire all round.

    If Chelsea had fielded 3 or 4 youths tonight you could make excuses but s I said in the thread, it was full of international who all played poorly, bar Willian.

    Barkley might get a run in the replay actually. :o
