Liverpool are awful

2 non league teams in the fifth round for the first time ever

 

Unless uncle malcolm knows different

Think we may see more of it as well

 

The set ups at some of these national league teams are great, a lot of them if not all are full time as well I think

 

Might as well call it League 3 and bring it into the league with 3 going up into L2 each season

Read that the manager of Sutton is loaded

 

He paid for the artifical pitch to be laid, gave the club an interest free loan and does the job for free

 

Fair play to the bloke

Well it's obviously untrue, since the cup is older than the league!

 

It hasn't happened since the league expanded to 3 divisions in 1920-21 and 4 the following season.

The current format of the cup, with byes into the third round, began in 1925-26. It hasn't happened since then, but there were 2 in the last 16 in 1919-20 (Cardiff City and Plymouth Argyle).

Last time there were 3 non-league clubs in the last 8 was 1909-10 (Coventry City, QPR and Swindon Town).

When there was only one division it happened twice:

1890-91 (Nottingham Forest, Stoke and The Wednesday), and

1888-89 (Birmingham St George, Chatham and The Wednesday).

The Wednesday, is that what Sheff Weds were called before they migrated North from East Laandaan Taaarrrn?

Take your point about the cup being older than the league, but was there a 5th round?

 

 

 

I really dunno why I'm pursuing this

The Wednesday, is that what Sheff Weds were called before they migrated North from East Laandaan Taaarrrn?

 

They adopted the current name in 1929, when they were league champions, but they have always been in Sheffield.

I thought The Wednesday were some public school boy team from London

 

Or was that The Wanderers?

In the early years there were no qualifying rounds, so there was a fifth, and even sixth round, if the number of entries required it.

The qualifying rounds started at the same time as the league, and the regional entries determined whether teams played in the qualifying rounds.

NB will be gushing tonight

Hoddle and McManaman failing to grasp the laws of the game again.

 

Surprising to see Mikel Alonso getting a run-out down the Chelsea left, too.

That's close to a red, too

Chelsea a penalty miss away from BetFred paying out on them winning the league.

What the hell was that "challenge" from Rodwell all about?

Our u23s are on LFCTV tonight for anyone with a dodgy box

City looking top notch again. Poor Jose, looks like his mega strike force has shot blanks again.

What a splendid result at Ewood park tonight.

What a splendid result at Ewood park tonight.

 

And at OT in the chase for a UEFA cup place.????

What a splendid result at Ewood park tonight.

 

Given the unusual heavy traffic on the North bound M66 tonight at 6:45pm and the 17k plus attendance I take it Leedsmust have had all the Darwen end?
