FA Cup 3rd Round Draw - Stevenage (a) weekend of 8th January 2011


Recommended Posts

Giuseppe Grazioli,another c***.

I remember them having a fairly decent centre half,half-caste lad.

 

Smith - Big Al who was rushed back for this tie was meant to be in his pocket said Fairclough

 

He had a good 1st game tbf.Mark Smith I think he was called.

urgh, hope we bury the cunts 10-0.

 

for those who were asking - seem to remember the last time keegan was in the studio drawing the fixtures and when that came out he said "the'yll have to play that one at st james" as if to say it would be a great occasion for stevenage to get to visit sjp etc.

 

then dalglish (whos experience safety problems in stadiums before tbf) had some worries about the shoddy nature of the ground, temporary stand etc. stevenage then acted like small time pricks who accused us of bullying and lording it over them. game was televised, was shit, and went to replay. after we knocked them out there were a bunch of bitter comments from both sides. their centre half came on tv in the postmatch interviews and said he didnt think shearer (who just came back from injury iirc) was that good and that he'd had him in his pocket. shearer responded with "eh? i just scored two goals".

I think the TV may go for Leicester v Man City.

Mancini played a couple of games for Leicester, Sven against a Prem side.

 

As well as City being Sven's former club. Agree though, this is the game that stands out for TV, as well as Man Utd Liverpool of course.

stevenage agreed to switch the game, thinking of the cash, till sky said they wanted it on live and the money that would bring in, citing they thought it would be unsafe, however after sky waved notes under their noses safety wasn't an issue.

I've been in the "don't risk key players" brigade when it comes to the Cups, and i still am kinda of that philosophy, but i'm so desperate for a good FAC run. The Chelsea 4-3 lit a bit of fire in my belly and i was so up for the home tie against Arsenal. There's nothing quite like a good run... love how nerveracking it gets when you get that feeling of 'just maybe'.

 

Obviously we won't win but you do succumb to that feeling once you've nicked through a couple of rounds.

Who on earth thought Portsmouth would win it in 2008, or even get to the final last year? Yes, it's very unlikely but you just don't know. You've already shown in one-off games against Chelsea and Arsenal you can beat them on their own patch. A bit of luck with the draws and all of a sudden you're in the quarters. :thup:
