Liverpool knocked out Villa yesterday.  Blackpool v West Brom, Burnley v MK Dons, and QPR vs Fulham are all currently in ET but Fulham has gone up 2-0.  No replays this year.  Arsenal and Newcastle are about to kick off.

United wins 1-0.

Watched the whole thing.  Really boring game.  I thought Ole would put on some academy players to give the a chance in the second half but United's inability to separate themselves from Watford made him sub Rashford, Martial, and Matic in the second half.  Also I hope Eric Bally isn't injured again.  The dude can't catch a break.

Lulz, those appear to be the "dugouts" there along that right sideline with chairs for subs alongside.  It would be cool to be able to open that 1st floor window and heckle Mou.

Wow, this is wild.

The ground’s current capacity is 3,185 of which 389 is seated.[1]

Rossett Park has three sides with the primary covered stand, including the modest press area, behind one of the goals. The dugout length of the field is behind residences on Rossett Road. Marine A.F.C.'s supporters association operates a merchandise shop at the ground.[2]

Honestly this is one of the coolest things about English soccer. The guys on that team are probably barely even semi-pro. I'm sure most if not all of them have other jobs. And they get to play one of the top sides in all of Europe. Talk about story for your grandkids.

And League Two Crawley Town spanks Leeds 3-0

Leeds, like Aston Villa, was out their entire first team and coach so it was their youth team that lost to Crawley Town. Crawley Town won't complain about their prize money going up with the win though.

 

 

Edit: Nope I was thinking about Derby from yesterday. Leeds just lost.

They mentioned that guy in the tree on the Talksport Radio telecast if you have sat radio. Most of the people on that side of the field appeared to have been watching from their fences and yards. It reminds me of this Martinez Classic that is run out in Concord, Mass and the track is basically in our friend's back yard.

West Ham and Stockport County are scoreless at halftime.  Stockport's stadium looks bigger than Crawley's and obviously Marine's but the playing surface looks like a sheep pasture.

West Ham wins it 1-0.  To be fair to Stockport, it was pouring rain and there was water standing by the end so I guess it's understandable the field looked like shit.

Considering that Spurs had the literal easiest draw of the 3rd round (arguably the tournament history), do we really have much to bitch about City's draw now?

 

Death, taxes, and City getting the easiest draw.  City always get easy draws.  Look at their last 4 champions league group stages or draws in fa cups and League cups from previous years.

A hell of a strike puts Wolves up 1-0 over non-league Chorley (the other magpies).

Quote

Chorley play at Victory Park. The ground has a capacity of 4,300, of which 2,800 is covered standing and 900 is covered seating.[16]

Construction of Victory Park was completed in 1920 at a cost of £1,000. The stadium was named to commemorate the end of the First World War.[17] The ground was very different from the Victory Park of today, as both ends of the ground were exposed to the weather and there was no concrete terracing. The grandstand was a modest wooden structure with accommodation for 600.[5] Chorley, with the aid of £654 raised by a special bazaar, bought Victory Park in 1926 for £868. The Supporters' Club provided £100.[5]

In November 1945 a fire broke out and destroyed the main wooden stand shortly after it had been vacated following an FA Cup tie against Accrington Stanley,[18] which had been attended by a crowd of 4,019. The stand was practically destroyed and gutted all but the dressing rooms, and the efforts of firemen could not prevent the loss of valuable property, equipment and playing kit. Work on the new grandstand began in 1947, costing £5,500 – five and a half times the price of the original one.[5]

Fireworks delay at Cheltenham about 5 minutes before halftime.  Someone's shooting off bigass fireworks right outside the stadium it looks like.  Cops Bobbies are headed to investigate.  Cheltenham and Man City are scoreless.
