Off Topic Non-Sunderland games

I hope he misses this ...

 

Even just to give them a taste of the atmosphere. Name a couple of u18s on the bench. To train and warm up with the first team will give them a right buzz.

Especially as they will see how **** the first team are

 

I agree, where's the harm

 

Quality penalties so far

 

Somebody needs to miss asap. The darts is on.

 

City to win the FA cup then?

 

Because of today? Have you seen how bad Utd are ?

 

I hope Villa get Man City at home in the quarters. Would throw the competition wide open

 

Get in there Fulham. The FA Cup is alive and kicking, it's absolutely wide open. Man City the favourites but they aren't the unstoppable force they once were. Whoever draws City will be furious

 

Well done Fulham. Go on and win it.

 

Drinking with Pickford cheering on Brighton. Put £500 behind the bar

 

I'd love Preston to win the FA Cup

 

So relieved the Saudi’s got turned over today looking at the teams who remain

 

Fulham v Crystal Palace
Preston v Aston Villa
Bournemouth v Man City
Brighton v Forest/Ipswich

Really interesting draw that.

 

Man City won’t have it easy at Bournemouth…

 

Looking at that draw it really shows you how unimportant domestic cups have became

 

Yep. Hated it when Martin O’Neill did it at safc.

 

Caught up on the Edinburgh derby just before. Triantis pretty impressive again. In a game (and league) where many players treat the ball like a hot potato, Triantis was assured and always looking for a forward pass. Some polishing up required but there’s definitely something there imo.

 

It's too easy to dismiss the standard of Scottish football ...

... some of the best players have come from Scotland and it's a competitive league, Celtic apart.

 

There’s plenty of very good quality footballers come from that league. Certainly good enough for the championship. From what I’ve seen, Triantis is a class above most of the players in the third placed team in the SPFL. That’s a very good sign imo.
