FA Cup 2023

The FA Cup has already begun, but the Superbru Tournament comes in at the fourth round (28.01). I've set up a league (HHF FA Cup 2023) as was done last year.

Can manure beat Reading, most interesting tie is Man city v Arsenal

Could be a tad closer than City vs Chelsea!! As you say though - will be interesting. Might even try and watch it myself!

Now then..... Could it be Wrexham vs Spurs in the 5th Round?...... Greedy tw@ts aside, Wrexham look like they could well pull off a shock against Sheffield Utd tonight

I see that Haaland was at it again yesterday, bagging yet another hat trick in their 6-0 demolition of Burnley, who are currently runaway leaders in the Championship, showing just how wide the gap is between the two leagues!!

I really think Kane would have been banging in just as many goals at city should the move have gone through and he must be thinking 'what if...'.

Most the goals I've seen, Kane bangs them in all day long. The ones he wouldn't get are those requiring Haalands speed.

Christ, a tad behind posting any updates on the Cup/Superbru...

Anywho, BB in Pole position, but any of the Top 3 could take it.... Just remember to make your picks!!

Excited for this one. Did I read somewhere it's the first Manchester derby for an fa cup final?

Blistering start - a goal faster than most people can run a 100 m - 12 seconds apparently. And then on 30 minutes Utd get a penalty for a “handball” by Grealish - one of the softest penalties ever after a lengthy VAR check. At least it make the game interesting!!

[Big Boy]

Soft penalty, yes, but listening to the half-time pundits, what a load of twaddle......... Grealish was trying to protect himself from Wan-Bissaka's fierce challenge! Where do they find these clowns?

If I've got a different set of clowns pundits - I'm watching on beIN Sports 3.

I thought VAR was there to detect the “clear and obvious” - how Grealish’s brush of the ball can be considered clear and obvious is beyond me. Although it didn’t change the eventual outcome, it could have done.

Although it was by no means a one-horse race, I thought that City deserved to win - let’s see if they can make it a record equalling season by making it a treble next weekend!!
