FA Cup Q/F - Rule changes

[Abe Frohman]

A MUEN reporter approached a mathematics professor from Manchester university and asked about the odds of us getting 9 draws away in straight cup comps and calculated it was 100.000 to 1 the same odds as Trump walking on the surface of mars.

I only got A Level Maths and even I know it's 511 to 1.

They'll make anyone a professor these days

no, straight to extra time and then pens if needed

I'd be surprised if any of these came to be needed this weekend. City possibly.

Semifinal time is more likely.

Mainly because of the side i/we think we'll put out.

Until yesterday I was completely unaware that there were no replays in the quarter finals of this season's FA Cup, despite it having been announced in May 2016.
