FA Cup 4/5/6/7 Jan

Can't warm to Darke as a football commentator. He used to be okay at the boxing, but there's something a bit "Ron manager"-ish about him. A poor man's John Motson, if you will.

States the obvious too much for a viewing audience.

His commentary on ESPN soccer net press pass or whatever they call it these days is mundane and uninspiring.
 
The FA Cup is on a par with the other one now. Teams just don’t take it seriously enough until the later rounds. Damp squib today. They are trying to make out Cardiff getting beat is a big giant killing. Cardiff won’t give a flying fuck they are out and that’s the sad bit about it.

Pretty much spot on. Less fixture congestion, they'll be buzzing, as they just want to stay up, which is sad.

Plus you'll have teams like Southampton who'll be gutted they have to replay their game, probably wish Nugent had put away his chance at the end to knock them out.

Add to that all the big sides have had relatively straight forward games (touch wood for us).

Wolves vs Liverpool looks okay though, assuming Wolves take it seriously but again, Liverpool probably won't give a fuck about getting knocked out.
 
Not sure if already mentioned, but these are being passed out at the ground today.

 
Since the rags fucked the tournament off it gave other teams the idea to do the same. Genuine cup shot over finishing high in the PL. I'm sure the fans would like to see their team win a cup.
 
A load of those so called boycotters have still turned up today. The stadium is packed compared to how it usually is, they normally have 2 full stands closed.
The stands look full of red and white gooners scarves. The Tarquins are in effect scabbing.
 
For those that can`t get to the game tomorrow it`s on ESPN+ which has had loads of feeds today for the Bolton and currently the Balckburn game.

Edit....Blackburn take the lead at the Barcodes
