3 years in a row for a Manchester final?
FA Cup 24/25 | 5th round: 1st March
- Thread starter IRN-BRUno
- Start date
Absolutely it is
Mateta is brilliant. Miles ahead of any attacker we have.
Ennis replaced at half time.
Had a bad tackle done on him by the Palace goalscorer, so might be feeling it.
Devenny makes it 2-0 to Palace.
Tough draw for City
Crap draw for us to be honest. I mean yeah it’s a home game but it’s yet another PL team when we really could’ve done with getting a lower league side to progress. Can see us getting done by them.
Only just seen the draw, could have been so much better. Even prefer if we were away. Certainly a banana skin of a tie.
Tough draw but could have been worse. I wouldn’t fancy us to beat most teams but certainly not Brighton, Bournemouth or Newcastle
Which wise TV exec thought this would be a good Monday night game?
The draw & schedule didn’t really give them many choices tbf.
They couldn’t put any of the ones in European competition on tonight in case they ended up in playoffs
All depends if City can get past Plymouth
Shows our fall from grace that many are lamenting a home tie against Fulham.
Our performances at home have been terrible for 2 months now so getting a PL side at Old Trafford (and from top half of table) isn't great. Got 3 weeks to improve home form or Fulham will get their revenge for 2023.
Great draw for City and Villa. Bournemouth favorites to beat Wolves at home and I'd say the same about Newcastle against Brighton, though that should be closer one. If we do get to last 8, hopefully we get a decent draw for a change. If not then it's mostly on Amorim for making us so poor at home.

If we had to get a Premiere league team not in the relegation zone, this is the one I wanted. Think we match up with them the best, though I will sweat the rest of the game when they inevitably bring in Traore in the last 1/2 hour.
Hopefully we can get a body or 2 back by the time this game comes around. Even if its just Evans in the short term, we'll probably be back to 2 games a week by then, and we're down Licha for the season.

Huh?! We literally played three lower sides last year -- Wigan, Newport County, and Coventry City. Two of them were not even in the championship! We won the fricken title off the back of that easy run, and you've already forgot!?
It wasn't three in a row, but big whoop. Likely City doesn't play more than three non-Prem sides this year even if they go all the way. I have to just laugh at posts like this.
I might have to figure out how to get ten on Plymouth just for this, after last round...
Too bad there won’t be Licha vs Adama Part 3
This going to be tough. Any home fixture against any half decent team has been hard work for us so far under Ruben. Fulham would also be out looking for revenge after what transpired in a cup fixture couple of seasons back.
Well obviously as we would be out of the cup
Exeter 5 minutes from taking Forest to penalties.
2:2 at the minute.
2:2 at the minute.
Penalties it is.
Forest have been shite. Played against 10 men for about 40 minutes here and barely created anything.
Some difference in atmosphere between City going 2-1 up vs Real and the Exeter keeper catching a ball in the last minute to keep a game at 2-2 for penalties.
Book him
Class pen
Sake..
Exeter keeper looks about 12.
All the pens for Forest in the same place
looks tiny in his goal.
Oh well. It was good while it lasted. 4 : 2 Forest.
"Well done Forest, he's 13."
Can't be any taller than 5"9 / 5"10. Smallest keeper I've seen in a long time.
The shootout shows the extra bit more quality and composure premier league players have over league 1 players. Though I would take Yogane at LWB over Dalot any day of the week.
Exeter keeper wasn't even close to saving those penalties. Too bad...
Didn’t see when it happened, but Awoniyi was stretchered off after colliding with him just before extra time. Hope he’s okay.

He’s got a very good record of saving pens at youth level, got a real reputation for it. I know he’s highly rated at Palace but it’s hard to see him making it in the PL based on his height alone which is a shame.
The modern day Chris Turner
That went well.
Whitworth faced two penalties against our 21's a couple of seasons ago. Conceded the first and then saved the second.
Was telling on the penalties how small he looked in the goal compared to Sels.

He’s the same height as Barthez
