The FA Cup 6th Round Thread

[MrWoolley]

I'd love it if Rovers beat West Brom tommorow and got Barnsley. Come on the Gas!

Cardiff are the only non-English winners, 1926 IIRC (edit: 1927 actually)

Portsmouth are the longest FA Cup holders, from 1939 to 1946 (because of WW2 where the FA Cup wasn't contested, but they were still holders for seven years.)

West Brom

• Winners: 1888, 1892, 1931, 1954, 1968

But nothing for Barnsley, Boro or Bristol Rovers.

Beating Arsenal in the final luvvly jubbly !

Had we manage to beat Manure, we might still be in for a shot of a cup treble.

Now I want the smallest club left to win it.

I doubt that we'd have beat Portsmouth today if our last two games are anything to judge on...

With our fixture list, and lack of defenders, we wouldn't have had a chance at the FA Cup. I'm pretty glad we were knocked out. It freed us up to only play King when he was needed.

Barnsley were winners in 1912, beating West Brom after a replay. A re-run is a real possibility.

TCO, did you go to the Lane to support Enfield when they played Barnsley in '81? (Or was it '82?).

 

[Bingo Jesus]

Bugger. That's my accum. out of the window. Sadly the FA Cup is going back to Stamford Bridge now. I can't see anyone else being able to beat them.

:grin::grin::grin:

:grin:

Clearly Barnsley aren't just 'anyone else'. :wink:

 

[knilly]

if cardiff were to win it, im pretty sure they cant qualify for europe as they are not english but playing in english competitions.

 

[Rocksuperstar]

now that's a good question, but i assumed it was league dependant, so as Cardiff aren't participating in the Welsh league, they could qualify :shrug:

Of course they would qualify, the same as Berwick would take one of the Scottish UEFA places in the wildly improbable event of their winning the Scottish cup.

 

[Chris12345]

Yea, the thing is that Chelski are virtually guaranteed a final place now, but it does also mean that it will only be 5th place who gets Europe via the league now. This is a very interesting development.

No I'm afraid I didn't.. but then again I did go to the FAC semi at the Lane in 1986 (Liverpool vs Southampton) in which Mark Wright broke his leg.

It's great isn't it? Who would've thought this time yesterday we would be talking about the prospect of a Barnsley West Brom final. :grin:

 

[HuggyBear]

Lovely goal for Cardiff

 

[Marty]

It's not even surprising any more is it?

Cardiff ftw!

 

[HuggyBear]

Boro are a joke, I bet Woody's so embarrassed to call some of them former team mates

 

[hughy]

Fuck me, Cardiff are 2-0 up now.

 

[chinaman]

Now I want Cardiff to win the FA Cup.

 

[Marty]

2-0 :lol:

:rofl:
