FA Cup 2023/24
- Thread starter IRN-BRUno
- Start date
I was listening to one of the most popular football shows on the radio in France, and they were basically saying : « it is such a difficult season for Newcastle, with all their injuries, and they also suffer from heightened expectations because they overperformed last season ».
The same journalist a couple weeks ago said about United « of course they have injuries but it’s not an excuse »…
The problem is Newcastle were punching so far above their weight last season considering the players they had, that I think it might just be a case of a lot of their players regressing back to their natural sort of level.
It could happen to Spurs too
No chance! His first one wasn't even a foul, nevermind a yellow card.
Rightfully so.
Both situations aren't comparable at all. One hads genuinely lifted a team in a relegation battle to a Champions League place, the other managed to ruin his great first season with braindead tactics and awful signings.
Both are on their way out, but for very different reasons.
Cant imagine Howe is going to last at Newc beyond this season. Don't think Saudis will be enamoured with football tgar leads to only 2 attempts at goal! Lots of good managerial vacancies this summer but only 2/3 top quality candidates.
Infuriating that we lost to this trash Newcastle team 3 times in a row with 0 goals to show for it.
Will Foden ever get a normal haircut?
What happened to Isak? So shite today, is he like this generally, or just today?
Just watched the highlights of the Wolves v Coventry game, what a finish to the end of the game. Fair play to Coventry, they looked like they dominated Wolves all game and got what they deserved in the end. Ait-Nouri looks a player though.
He looks a wonderful player. My dream signing at lb. He's so good he's played at cf for Wolves since Cunha's got injured.
Unfortunately he's being linked with Liverpool and City so he's going to be another one I end up hating.
If Leicester beat Chelsea today, I am offering a 100 quid bet that the winner of the Liverpool v Man United game will draw City in the Semis.
If we can beat Liverpool, and that's a big if, I hope we get city in the semi-finals.
Their beating us in another final en route to a double treble is too much to bear. If it has to pass, let us fall earlier.
Probably beat both and lose to Coventry in the final.
Mark Robins costing EtH the United job.
How the papers would love that shit.

Never had such a wild ride in such a short post.
Will be like sheff utd last season. Tight and then a stupid penalty or goal before half time, then well beaten 3-0.
My eyesight is getting shite as I get older, even this seems like a bit of a kit clash to me 
FFS, couldnt they pick another kit. I cant tell Chelsea from Leicester.
Something here for Leicester. They're pressing very well and Chelsea have started very flat.
Well wasn't expecting him to score opening goal for Chelsea. Good work by Jackson.
Vestegaard was dismal for that goal.
Leicester can get away with Vestegaard-Faes as CB combo in the Championship but miles off it at prem level so going to need a couple of new CBs if they're going to be comfortable mid table.

Was there really any need to play this game? Got to be the most pointless QF in FA cup history
Penalty to Chelsea.
Why is Sterling taking this?
You could set your watch by this game. Chelsea score, Leicester miss a couple of chances before Chelsea get the second to kill the game completely
Sterling to take the penalty. Saved. He really didn't look confident taking that.
Absolutely knew he was going to miss that. Ridiculous.
What an awful penalty.
Sterling has other plans.
He was never scoring that.
Why wasn't Cold Palmer on it? What's the point in calling him Cold if you are not going to give him these kind of opportunities.
Why on earth was he taking the penalty?
You knew it before he kicked it. Wish he would just feck off.
There's no real bite to this game. Doesn't really feel like a feisty quarter-final sort of affair.
So it seems. Leicester will miss a couple more now before Chelsea get the second
Sterling is moaning he can't make the England squad anymore and he produces that as a penalty?!
As I've said before he sums up Chelsea's issues currently. Visually looks busy and on it but chronic lack of productivity at key points in games.
There's a goal in this for Leicester for Chelsea's pace looks too much for them.

Dewsbury-Hall looks a player doesn't he.
Is Sanchez on the take this match

Where has he done that? Quite interested to see!
Chelsea need to find some way to get the FFP back in the right direction
