FA CUP DRAW ROUND 4

[toffee82]

Two home ties against mediocre opponents to get into the last 16 of the FA cup.

Having some of that.

You're just saying what all Bolton fans are thinking!

 

[Pabbers]

They would beat us, they are buzzing with that draw, massive day out for them.

ŔS will be given an easy ride to the final now that the quadruple is on and the media will be lapping it up, they are favourites with the bookies for all 3 cups they are left in and 2nd favs for the title.

Warm balls lid.

Not in this weather...

i wonder if a team has ever won the FA Cup beating only teams in the top division in every round

im sure its been done before, prob man city at some point in the last decade but it would be interesting to see if it has been done and if so how often

Please please Brentford beat The Dog heads

You know everyone wants to see WBA v Wolves lol

They can't win the quadruple or the treble as they aren't in the Champions League

Wow didn’t realise only one team had done it and that the record was that old. Just had a look at the run in on Wikipedia as well and their run started with a 6-4 win away to villa, blimey. Not only were they all top division sides, all but 1 team were top half sides and the lowest ranked side they played was Charlton who finished 13th out of 22. Truly remarkable.

In 1981 we, as so often nearly achieved it. Arsenal 3rd round 2-0, our neighbours next up 2-1, Southampton 1-0 after a replay and then drew Man City at home. 2-1 up with about 5 mins to go, Varadi misses absolute sitter. They go upfield and equalise, beat us fairly convincingly in replay 3-1. I went to every game, City beat Ipswich in semi's but lost to Spurs in the Ricky Villa final.

Was this your sauce?

….no, it was my 3 year old granddaughter. I asked her to point to the team we’d get & she pointed to Cardiff/Sheff Wed. I won’t be relying on that source again.
