+++ Birmingham City v NUFC FA Cup Fourth Round BBC One BBC iPlayer BBC Sport Website +++

[hank williams]

This is no f***ing good mind you - League Cup final and again the 5th round of the cup. the only blessing is that ultimately they will team up with Liverpool or Man city and that will end their little run.

FTM.

Liverpool definitely depends which city turns up though

get stuffed

In a suitcase?

In that case loads are better than the Newcastle that turned up against Bournemouth and Fulham.

 

[FootballFan]

Just seen their 'goal' absolute disgrace that.

also should have been a red card in the second half, absolute shambles by the officials and a daylight robbery result.

 

[exiled_in_manc]

I haven't watched it but seen the result.
Surprised Birmingham got 2.
The mags players be on 30 times Birmingham, so why was this deemed a sporting contest worth TV viewing?!

Dear Sir, do you understand how the FA Cup works?

Worked. Is this a city fan trying to bring some sporting merit to your achievements?

 

[Martinez73]

I refute nothing.
It was an oil team against a league one team. The oil team's wage bill was 30 times greater than the league one teams.

They've cleaned up 6 out of 7

Should be 7/7 and holder of all trophies if your point was valid

 

[FTM73]

I see from X that the Saudis have cheated their way through to the next round with goals that didn't cross the line then red cards and penalties that weren't given.

Wonder how much it cost them

 

[gatopreto]

Eh??

Let’s not watch any FA cup matches again involving possible giant killing by that logic

The difference in finances is not like it was in years gone by. Having a team and wage bill that is state owned and 30 times the opposition, it shouldn't be a proper sporting contest. The fact it was is credit to Birmingham.

What in the flying F are you drivelling on about?

Lol not really. Another club with the third highest turnover will win the league instead. This time it's organic, it's real, but it doesn't disprove my point for a second. Money matters.

Of course but of course it worth watching?

On your logic we should never watch a league one or two team play a top premier league again it’s a nonsense argument

 

[gatopreto]

Man city have no sporting merit. They have bought success in a very dodgy way. They are doped up to the eyeballs. People don't give them credit. So I thought you were trying to give them it.

 

[Rhyd59]

I am.

We will soon see, they are playing each other, in the Premier League, at the Ethiad next Saturday...

It's not as appealing as it was. It would be like us if if played Blyth Spartans.

Plenty of people gave them plenty of credit over the years. It’s only in the last couple that the media have started questioning them. There’s even plenty on here that wanked themselves silly over Pep and the players they were bringing in. It’s only when the mags got taken over and it hit close to home that people started opening their eyes to the sportswashing.

If City were in a title race with Liverpool you’d still have a good chunk of people hoping for City to triumph, just as last season when it was Arsenal and City

 

[Foggers]

Pretty standard to televise a cup match with the lower league side at home to the Premier League side in the hope of an upset like.
Been doing it from the first time I watched football - Sutton v Coventry being the main match on MOTD that night

Great game of football. They got f***ing battered and it was fantastic to watch. Absolutely battered.

 

[Foggers]

Weren't really expecting it to be that competitive or phsyical, about as good as could be hoped for really, shame Arsenal wasn't this Wednesday after that

 

[Roker Mackem]

Well done the mags. I hate them but they are irrelevant to how successful or not out season is. We keep saying on this forum they are obsessed with us, maybe it’s the other way around?

Get used to it anyway they are so far ahead of us.
