Get in here lads, its that time of year where you pretend to be a lifelong supporter of Dover Athletic or Gateshead for your 5 minutes of fame on TV.
>First game is Wycombe vs Last year's runners up Aston Villa at 12:45
24 games at 3pm, ones to look out for:
>Holders Arsenal play Sunderland at the Emirates
>Birmingham host Bournemouth
>Everton welcome Dagenham and Redbridge
>Non league Eastleigh welcome struggling Bolton
>Doncaster host Stoke
>Norwich face the continually underwhelming Man City
>Saints vs Crystal Palace and Watford vs Newcastle in 2 all PL ties
>West Ham play Wolves at Upton Park
>Newport County host Blackburn Rovers
>Bury play Bradford in the coveted 'no one gives a shit about this fixture' match
All this building up to the 5:30 match where the even more underwhelming Man United host the giantkillers of Sheffield United at Old Trafford
first for inevitable disappointment
second for inevitable disappointment
Third for already out of the cup
>>64768562
Oh ye of little faith! Just wait for Mitrovic to score a perfect hat-trick with two tap-ins, with left and right and a scorching header from around penalty spot, smashing a defenders head in the process, blood everywhere and him, face streaking with red like on that Terry Butcher photo, holding his hands up screams in a adrenaline rush at Toon Army

Will Everton win senpai?

>>64769000
Those trips prove Wycombe will win
>>64769000
Could it be considered a upset if Villa win?
>>64769016
Wycombe have a golkeeper suspended so they have a weakened team, so no, it wouldn't be much of a upset if Villa wins, but it wont anyway.
If Bradford and Sheffield United lose could those be considered upsets?

Fucking hate how this club is run.
>it's an FA Cup weekend
>>64769055
Also like a lot of modernised clubs, no cash turnstiles anymore, and buying a ticket on the day of the game is basically a lottery. Not to mention prices have gone up since we were relegated. Fucking Allam, it's like he doesn't want people to go anymore. He doesn't even go himself bow because of "abuse" to his precious ego. Twat.

Do his family still own Ferriby or did that all go tits up?
Off to watch Forest v QPR in about half an hour.
We've never lost at home to QPR, ever. So with that in mind it's a nailed on 0-1 to them.
who /earlykickoff/ here?
It's going to be tough lads but I think if we keep our heads down, and park the bus we can scrape a draw and win on penalties in the replay at home.

Wycome have a pretty comfy stadium desu
What team will cause a cupset today?
0-0 against United is not considered an upset btw.
>>64769206
Bury by beating Bradford
>>64769090
They do, that was all a mess too. It's his daughter and son-in-law, the Forsters.
Told the players they were all free to go at the end of the season, so a few of their good players did, only for them to change their mind and want to carry on owning the club. A few of them came back, but they basically unloaded some top lads out of stupidity.
They were saying "we haven't found the commercial opportunities we expected" and it's like, you bought a literal village football team, what did you expect when about 4000 people live there?
Still, FA Trophy holders and 2nd in the Conference North with the smallest budget is mental for a village team.

You have to buy CL tickets and FA cup tickets. Can opt out of Europa and Meme cup tickets. Don't see why people complain about this most people would always buy tickets for the former anyway

>>64769269
I half understand the rule but at the same tim if you're buying a season ticket it is literally for the premier league season.
You have no obligation to go to other competition matches. It's possible someone could only afford the season ticket.
It's all a bit silly if you ask me.
>okore and clark coming into wycomes box for corners
Wycome 1-0 at half time.
>>64769283
True, I suppose they don't want a situation like city though where the stadium is broadcast 3/4 full to the entirety of europe. Ensures they sell out.
>it's a Robbie Savage episode
>>64768661
I would eat my faptalc if that happened

That's cities fault for getting a larger stadium when there was no demmand for fans.

Post-war United are literally the biggest jews world football has ever seen. Their fans get uppity about Chelsea/Citeh getting new money to compete, when the only reason for it all is United being the first to aggressively commercialise their "brand" and repeatedly mug off their loyal supporters.

Nope, people were complaining about Delph for example a few years ago but look at him now. MON is a very good manager, the money you get for being Europa League and finishing 5th was more than he was spending. You're just quoting casuals like Phil from Kent.

Newport v Blackburn just got called off.

>>64769694
i wouldn't say mediocre is the right word, but i definitely get what you mean
i expected him to have scored maybe 3-4 BLOOTERS by this stage but overall he's been a very good player
it's the little things he does, off the ball too that go unnoticed. it's like he's playing a game of FIFA on the pitch, he controls other players around him, tells them where to run and where to pass to.
as midfielders go, there aren't many better than him lad, i mean would you rather have matic? fabregas? toure? wilshere? i don't fuckin fink so m8.
i'd say he's been 8.5/10 when i expected 10/10, but then again, it's not fair to judge him after 6 months in a new league when he's played in germany his whole career.....
also, how many united players have played to their full potential under LvG? i'd say 0, maybe de Gea but that doesn't count
>>64769908
why was it called off?
Has a manager ever endured an entire tenure with a 0% win record? Garde could become the first
>>64769876
no, he literally starts arguments with everyone, it's like his hobby
he starts shit, provokes others and then gets aggressive and butthurt when he gets BTFO
