FA Cup 2017/2018

I guess someone had to start a topic. Now we are getting to the sharp end
United through 2-0 with both goals from Lukaku
ROCHDALE get to Wembley in a match that will probably earn them as much as they will earn for the entire season.
Worthy of the draw too although you’d think Spurs won’t make that mistake again.

Tonight Wigan host City who are likely to play a strong side. Wigan play an open attacking game that’s working in League 1 but against City they will get taken apart. Jesus likely to return tonight.

Looking likely it will be an all Premier League last eight

Saints through after a 2-0 birthday present to Spargo
Hughes played 2 up front
Saints missed a penalty and Wigan had some chances in the 1st half.
Banana skin averted :D

Money for jam predicting that draw.
Was only ever going to be Spurs v United. Hopefully we show a bit more fight against them at Wembley and the neutral crowd should even it a touch

Watched the Saints v Wigan game this morning. Gee Mark Hughes has a lot lot of work to do. They were horrible in the first half, but much better in the second.

Your two strikers both scored for the first time. That must give you some hope if he continues with two up front.

We played with two strikers, Carillo and Gabbiadini, but neither scored. Hojberg, defensive mid and Saures, right back scored. Gabbiadini, eanrt a pen but had it saved and Carillo looks pretty useless to me. Need to play Austin or Long with Gabbiadibi up front

Gabbiadini also missed a sitter from twelve yds out after Wigan messed up a back pass. He won’t miss one like that again.
Totally agree that Austin/Long play up front with him. Tadic & Boufal especially need to start hitting the back of the net too.

Ah fair enough. Just heard they both scored their first goals for the Club so assumed they were the two strikers :oops:
