    3rd rd is special for fans or used to be can’t believe the apathy of fans not just ours at resting players in order to get there

    In our case it’s as if we have failed to realise we are a minnow aiming for a giant killing not the giant fearful of being humiliated

    Newport beating Leicester is a massive shock, as unlike Fulham, Huddersfield or Cardiff they've got no relegation concerns, and realistically will finish somewhere in the lower top 10

    I sometimes think foreign managers just don't get it. Puel rested players for the League Cup QF, played a weakened team today, when these are competitions Leicester should be targeting.

    Great to see Lennie on the Newport bench as consultant. Proper Charlton Legend for me. Up there with Curbs from my childhood.

    Today I returned to the scene of the crime (Bramall Lane) with a Barnet-supporting mate. Had an absolutely superb day out which has made re-evaluate my attitude to the FA Cup. Barnet played like gods and were worthy winners.

    One interesting aspect was that they shut the big kop end, so the two sides were almost full, but they didn't muster a single song all game. Big mistake, I think.

    Nah, we're going to get the easiest route possible to ensure another day out at Wembley.

    There'd then be an epidemic of forehead vein popping :wink:

    Fingers crossed you have a decent cup run to distract you from the league, you can enjoy another day out at Wembley, lose the semi final and get relegated. Beautiful.

    Last season we went out to Rochdale after winning our 3rd round match against Barnsley, so it could well be a repeat. If it is then hopefully we'll win a few more in the league and guarantee safety.

    We seem to have started the winning run a few games earlier than last season so we'll see what happens.

    Pretty shameful how weak some of the PL sides were - don't understand mid-table sides giving up on it.

    Millwall will probably get Man Utd away and so enjoy their big day out

    Palace will get Barnet at home and so advance towards their latest FA Cup Final!!

    Barnet can take Palace. Rest easy.

    Not only that but a lot of the promotion chasing championship sides fielded weak teams too.

    But yes i completely agree, what's the point in sides like Leicester putting a weakened team out? Not likely to challenge for Europe and no chance of going down. Although i guess they need to give squad players a game at some point.

    Wasnt much of a weakened Leicester team though

    You'd still expect that team to be good enough to at least face anyone from League One down

    fair play to spurs, he plays a strong side and some on twitter were claiming its unfair, them tranmere fans must of been delighted to see harry kane, unlike the mob on arsenal fan tv who thought it was funny how little home fans there were ( maybe they should realise what a club in crisis really is )

    What that showed is how reliant Leicester are on Vardy up front! Take him and Maddison out, and they look toothless

    You have to feel for Forest fans, away to Chelsea so you know they need to field their best 11 and hope Chelsea have an off day to get a result so what do they do................make 5 x changes.

    They may as well have walked down the tunnel waving a white flag.

    Sadly the FA Cup is dying on its arse.

    Man city-good squad
    Tottenham- good squad

    Liverpool-weak squad

    Dont go giving me bullshit that they are fighting for title, so are city and spurs and they put out decent teams.

    Liverpool are playing a reserve side with the exception of Milner.
    Do Wolves want it enough.

    The FA cup is a strange old competition now. The really care and the can't be arsed.

    We are in the latter group because of a myriad of fitness issues. Shame really but we can't handle 50 odd matches a season. We struggle to do 46, Hence why we ran out of steam in the play-offs.

    Its only just kicking off, they could win easy and then Klopp is correct. But that team looks weak to me.

    I'd make Wolves favourites with those teams and home advantage

    Yeah but Lovren has to play occasionally

    At least it looks like they may be forced to sub him, that'll make them stronger
