Indeed so. A 5-0 home defeat in an FA Cup match, which was 4-0 just after half-time, is something to regret, since it was televised on BBC1 for all and sundry to see.

It could be worse, you could be 0-5 down at home during a world cup semi final <D

West Ham being torn apart here!

Even as a City fan I felt for them, there is clearly a problem at that club I think Stevan is a great manager however since doing so well last season I did wonder if they could extend it into this season and the answer is a clear no, Payet needs to come back into form for themto at least get anywhere near as close as they did last season. However I have feel their is a more serious problem with the club at the moment, since moving to their new stadium it just seems like their fans are getting more and more demoralized. I mean you know it is bad when you could hear the 9,000 or so City fans making more noise than the entire West Ham supporters.

As a side note, it is good to see that Pep`s mood has lifted since last week, and well done to John Stones on his first goal for City! :D

What's it called? It's called Cumbernauld
Perhaps now is the time for the 2 Davids and Karren to reflect on exactly what happened when the original Darlington left Feethams, Coventry City leaving Highfield Road, the original Wimbledon (now renamed to the present day Milton Keynes Dons) leaving Plough Lane, and the original Chester City leaving Sealand Road.

They all started to have financial difficulties, with both Darlington and Chester City going into liquidation. From what I have heard, Coventry City are very close to that predicament too should if they go into administration again.

Great quote from Simon Grayson (PNEFC) ahead off our FA Cup 3rd round against Arsenal, saying "people talk about Arsenal as the invincibles, well we are the original invincibles"
It is a shame that you've done nothing of note since, used to be a great club. ;)

Oh? I didn't know that :oops:

You don't actually have a bad side, TBH. Greer, Mulgrew, Conway, Stokes are all good players.
Yep, League Cup in 2002. :D

I agree with you regarding Mulgrew and Conway; however Greer is distinctly average and Stokes has an attitude issue so thinks he's better than he is. Our other decent player in Marshall appears to be leaving this window - it's been a long time coming.

Winchester City 4...Shortwood United 3 (Feeney 1, 43, 50, Mott 24; Humphreys 22, Langworthy 25, Lee 62)

Winchester City's impressive form continued as they took all three points in a frantic seven-goal thriller. They took the lead after just 45 seconds after Craig Feeney lobbed the keeper, but then came a four-minute blitz where the visitors seized on a wide-open defence to equalise, City retook the lead in a goalmouth scramble, Feeney hit the bar and the visitors equalised again with a soft header. City retook the lead just before half time when Feeney beat his marker to smash the ball past the keeper. There was still time for City to hit the post before half time. Feeney completed his hat-trick early in the second half when he headed a cross home after the defender failed to connect with the ball when attempting to clear, before the visitors reduced the deficit with just over an hour gone. City could have had more and survived a late barrage from the visitors before the final whistle.

Despite being 1-0 down, Arsenal managed to overturn the deficit and beat Preston NE 2-1.

Wonderful result for the Rams today and we scored two cracking goals. In fact the free kick was an absolute belter. West Brom had their chances and should have been 3 nil up at half time, especially after a Scott Carson howler!

I must admit that traveling up this morning I feared the worst. Derby were just awful against Wigan and Norwich and the Baggies have been in a great run of form but tonight I'm a very happy Ram.

Can't wait for Match Of The Day!

Huddersfield Town 4 - 0 Port Vale

A first cup win for Herr Wagner, the first time we've scored more than twice this season, and the first time we've had daylight between ourselves and the opposition. A professional display from us against a poor but spirited Port Vale side who at least tried to play proper football rather than hoofball - unlike recent visitors to the JSS. Here's hoping for a favourable draw, at least we can't get Reading now!

Butts Snr and Jnr were in attendance to witness this debacle - at least the 8,000 Argyle contingent enjoyed their day out. :p

One of my colleagues got himself shown on the TV coverage.

And from Mr Klopp's comments he is looking forward to a trip to the lovely city where I work.

Speaking as a mere follower of Hyde United, on 15th October 1887, in the first round of the FA Cup. there was a record defeat for Hyde in that competition....

Preston North End 26...Hyde 0...:oops:

So, a short trip over the hills in round 4 for us, a long time since we've been to Spotland.

Other standout games are Brentford v. Chelsea and Wimbledon/Sutton v. Beeston/Cambridge who kick off in 12 minutes or so...

I wouldn't be surprised if we hit our lowest ever attendance if we play Blackpool. Both clubs protesting against owners, could easily be below 2000 on.

Evesham United 3...Winchester City 1 (Smith 47, Harding 67, Fahy 73; Feeney 28)

Winchester City suffered their first defeat away since October after going down to high-flying Evesham. Despite taking the lead on 28 minutes when Craig Feeney headed home on the rebound, they were pegged back early in the second half and fell to an effort on the edge of the box and a 20-yard strike.
