4 stars out of 5

Final score showing our fa cup record under Ashley but to be fair it's the managers to blame for picking weak teams every season.

Fuck me. Just shut this club down man. No point even trying to equalise as they will have the dreaded extra game

All them changes as we can't be having extra games then we could get a replay anyway pathetic man. They don't seem arsed either by the sounds of it and we still can't get through. We don't care about anything past 17th in the league and we don't do cups. What a club

Thankyou Mike

He's amazing at it. I was at Arsenal away last season and I think I counted him winning about 20 headers in the last half hour. Works his socks off too. Why I never grief him as he gives it his all at least

Hopefully himself. The cellout cunt

Joke that. Not like a keeper is going to get tired man. Just not playing one of our best players for the sake of it. Nice one Rafael son Aye, sod giving out young, talanted keeper some first team games. Get him out on loan then. Giving a young player a game or 2 isn't more important than a FA cup run ffs. We have gave loads of young players a chance in the fa cup for 11 years. Which is why we never get past the 4th round. Even more infuriating when not a single one of them players has gone on to be a pl player. And play who should Dubravka get injured? He could get injured any time man. Even in training. I just believe in playing your best team and going through. Might sound a weird concept I know.

I reckon we could have a good home tie in a QF with a good chance of Wembley and we would still fuck about with the team. It's just what we do in cups now

Can anyone explain why they are playing a weak team when they have nothing really to play for in the league!? Mental. What an age for football we live in now when a few places higher and a few quid more in pl prize money is more important than winning something Nothing to play for apart from staying in the Premier league and £100m tv money? Can't imagine. So there's a lot riding on staying in the PL for Ashley then. Club don't see any of that anyway so I'm not sure why any supporter would give a s***. Yep. Anything other than a full strength team in the cup is an insult to the supporters and goes along with the shit club policy

Exactly. It's all bollocks and people in general have been brainwashed that been in the fa cup is somehow going to sabotage a clubs league form. Just because Ashley has no interest in cups dosent mean Rafa has to go along with him.

Exactly. Just like the few dozen other young players we have gave chances to over the last decade at the expense of the fa cup. No wonder we never make round 5

Mental isn't it. Everyone's been brainwashed that the pl is the be all and end all of everything. Some of them sacrifice the fa cup in there quest to get from 9th to 8th

What's the Watford team? If a club who is going to finish mid table isn't bothered about the fa cup then we may as well just scrap it now as it's done

Joke that. Not like a keeper is going to get tired man. Just not playing one of our best players for the sake of it. Nice one Rafael son Tired or ....... injury maybe?? How often do keepers get injured?! And why leave our best striker out ffs made it we have made it twice as hard as it needed to be already

Joke that. Not like a keeper is going to get tired man. Just not playing one of our best players for the sake of it. Nice one Rafael son

makes no sense, if he won the cup and we were relegated he'd see it (and be seen as) a failure Yeap, he'll not want to get relegated. A few cup games which are scheduled in on weekends anyway isn't going to make any difference

Exactly this. I don't understand all this messing about in the cups. I thought he "gets us"

It's a disgrace the state it's in. I love the stadium but it's absolutely minging like. The walls and outside of it is rank

Said earlier, I think him and Joselu are the definates. Can see Kenedy and even an argument for Diame starting to gain fitness for league games. No no no man why!? No need for it at all, no need for anything than playing the best 11 and just getting through to the 5th round for once and the first time since 2000 and fucking 6! Other than the 2 manure games the FA cup is the only time I've been bothered about the result all season

I might find him on Twitter The don

The mags staying up and another season in the wilderness for them chicken town cunts will end them

I’ve no doubt the residents have branded him s*** anyway . Imagine having to sell ya top scorer to pay off a debt on someone who doesn’t play for you Oh my . The lack of self awareness is incredible
