NHS waiting lists down for the fourth month in a row… and that’s during winter. Looking forward to the media getting their teeth into getting that story out there. …Oh, wait! https://www.england.nhs.uk/2025/02/waiting-list-falls-as-nhs-staff-treated-record-numbers-last-year/

It’s not quite 52/48, is it?

Does our recruitment team just show up with a picture of Mac Allister holding the World Cup? Hope so.

All set up for United in the final...

Agreed. It’s a shame. We’re safe and the club is clearly making a serious stab at going for the cup this year, with strong squads being selected for each round. But the cup karma doesn’t seem to be with us, handing out tough draws for us and safe passage for a a number of our competitors. Pfft!

Hang on! We beat Norwich too on the way to the final, didn’t we? I’m going for some weapons grade straw clutching. It’s ON! :lol:

I guess so but away to a Championship side is hardly a bye.

Just spotted that I'm photographing in Brighton both days that weekend so that's another potential live match up the Swanee. :(

While that's undoubtedly true, most teams that go all the way in the trophy are likely to have at least one easy draw along the way. We've been given nowt so far and there's not likely to be much in the way of easy options after the fifth round.

I'll be amazed if they don't progress. Like us, they're safe and can play a strong side in an attempt to win something.

Away to Newcastle. Almost as hard as it could have been. Will just have to hope their heads are turned by the chase for the Champions League. So Palace still get easy ties, home to Millwall, while we continue to get the roughest of rides. Effin' Palace are going to get another Wembley day...

Except that it's the cup, which the two Manchester teams seem to have made their own plaything for two seasons now, despite being pony for large chunks of the competition.

…and Gabriel Clarke too. Always reminds me of the Brighton v Hereford coverage. :)

Fantastic. Just wonderful. So pleased for Plymouth too. A club we’ve a longstanding emotional attachment with. There’s still a little bit of magic left in the old cup, yet.

Nine minutes. Nine? Nine. Seriously. Nine ? ? ? ? ?

come oooooooon :)

In the words of Barry Davies… ”Interesting. VERY interesting”

Given the walkovers they’ve been presented with so far, I wouldn’t be surprised if that tie’s been reserved for Palace.

Well isn’t this lovely?

Must be going deaf. Every time the commentary refers to Minteh, I keep thinking we’ve got Jeff Minton back.
