FA Cup 2011/12

nothing like the comp it once was - but if your team does well it'd be a rush for most of us
Liverpool putting out a decent side at home to Oldham
the Mighty Tigers take on the Tractor Boys at our place

Macclesfield ftw. Well done to them.
Sunderland v Boro...awaits hopefully.
Off to Watford tonight to jeer sp*rs.
I went to Vicarage Road in the 80's and remember that on the top of wall around the ground instead of having barbed wire or spikes, they had broken bottles cemented in.
I also had a job interview in Watford about 18 years ago, and turned up about 45 minutes early (as you do). I was having a wander around the local area to kill some time, and went to the ground to have a look. The team were all getting onto the bus to go to an away game up north (it was about 10am on a Tuesday or Wednesday) so I stood and watched for a bit. It seemed to slightly unnerve them, as I obviously wasn't a fan (grinning, encouraging, etc) but just a bored bloke in an ill-fitting suit......watching.
Those are all my memories of Watford. Next week, Grimsby.
I'm not expecting much of a cultural experience.
touch wood we'll deal with Crawley
a little uneasy given their effort last season v Man U

I doubt you will have anything to worry about.
Hull City fans always have something to worry about

I'd love to see Chelsea, Liverpool and Spurs out. Gives the rest of the league a chance to win something. Some of us still value the FA Cup.
^^ sides who dont normally win trophies have won it fairly recently - pompey in '08 and man city last season

I agree with the sentiment here, but I can assure you as a Liverpool fan that we would be STOKED to win the FA Cup. I'm bloody chuffed about being in the Carling Cup final and this is obviously a big step up in prestige.
However, if we can get the Carling Cup, then it would be nice to see a smaller team take it out. Fingers crossed for Stevenage tomorrow!

I still heavily value the FA Cup and would love us to win it. Ever since winning it in 97 its been a favorite of mine

Spurs definitely value the FA Cup. Last time we won it was in 1991 (despite Gazza). Ask most Spurs faithful and we would freely admit we are more of a cup side than a league/div 1 title side.
We should have won it in 2001 and 2011 as well*, but 2012 will suffice.
*ask Chas n Dave about this.
It's about the toffees this year, sorry fellas.

He's clearly a man-manager to be able to get the best out of asquad of journeymen in his last two clubs. Maybe a job for him at N17 after this season?
Both semis live on sky
Spurs vs Chavs on at 2:00 am Monday (NZT).

That's alrite, better than not being on at all. Though with starting work at 5am on Mondays im going to be seriously tired that day.

The game is a 6pm kick-off UK time, so it should be 5am here, no? Though by the sounds of it that may ruin your plans to watch Chelsea (lose!) Downey?!
I just looked at soccerway which had 2 am. If it is 6 pm GMT then that's possible viewing for me...
But Chavski want it to be moved to Friday 13. A bit more dicey with Jnr football in full swing by then (hopefully a very wet weekend and WCC closing all its grounds if that's the case).
