..............and scored 43 goals in their FA cup run, without even reaching the final! Got to be a record, shirley?

Probably second. Preston NE scored 50 in 1887-88.

..........Preston reached the final.

The fa cup is a cup competition that we seem to enter most seasons

True but of little interest these days. It seemed to lose its importance around c 1984!

Probably second. Preston NE scored 50 in 1887-88.

I'm guessing that most of those goals were scored in a single match v. Hyde Utd!
So, which club has won through 9 rounds of the FA Cup, because I've never ever seen our run of 8 victories reported as a record.

I think there's half a chance this might not get postponed due to 4th round cup involvement.

Birmingham away won't be easy for Newcastle and if we play a weakened team like we did against Reading good chance we go OUT

 

[Tony Le Mesmer]

We will play a weakened side. And rightly so....
This tournament is not a priority for us
