Feel like this fixture happens every year in the FA Cup.
 
Isn’t it great for the cream of the crop to be through to the next round before the rest of the plebs play.
 
Never heard of Forest Green Rovers before, won't be seeing them today either as their pitch was waterlogged.
 
Bizarre camera angle at Gillingham. Feels like I'm playing on the wing watching.
 
Spurs are so boring, even against lesser teams

Think our game was good, it seems to be that when a big team plays a lower team the manager will at times pick a weakened side and the level in play drops dramatically. The only excitement then is if there is a cup upset.
 
If Gills nick a goal I can see them winning, Leicester are playing poorly
 
Even though it was good to watch last night this feels like an international break.
 
If Kane got injured would Spurs even make the top half ?

They're so reliant on him, he's a brilliant striker.

I'd love him at Utd
 
Of course Arsenal is getting Oxford United. Lite Pep bribed the FA.

Same. Even at coming to 30, he's so intelligent and a great finisher. Really think him and Rashford would link well.

Do wonder though if him and Bruno would come in each others way but kane dropping deep to draw defenders and having the likes of rashford, Bruno, garnacho, Anthony running behind would be great too

Certainly the early rounds are - other than United then there are rarely any all Premier League ties in the first couple of rounds to get excited about (at least we get City vs. Chelsea this year), and the narrative around the lower league sides is always the same, right down to the half-time camera cut to the chairman/owner in the stands getting up from their seat - very dull and repetitive.

But still I watch :lol:
 
The coverage on this Gillingham vs Leicester game has been so bad it's laughable.
