Newcastle went to pens last night, so I assume this will (if Forest don't score)

no replays in the 5th round

Yes, extra-time and pens tonight. Which is pretty much a certainty. Forest aren’t scoring even if they keep playing until midnight, and we’re not much more likely. Only another hour of this shite before we get some proper excitement!

The man is a genius.

“Deflected for a goal kick”

Shearer - “comes off his own man doesn’t it?”

Agreed but there’s usually space for a pushed player to move into and rebalance/push back (it can end up being a 50/50 shoulder to shoulder contest) but not when you’re pushed into an opposition player.

Antony has been our best player tonight. Looks like Erik’s tough love has worked.

Can see him bagging the winner

Scottish £#%&!er with the obligatory blocking of his own team mate’s shot

Get Amad on ffs.

Yup, pens tonight - Newcastles game went to pens last night.

I love waiting for crushing disappointment.

Regardless. He likes Amrabat and that’s fine by me.

We have no idea what to do in the final 3rd. Not a clue

Oh Christ, I’ve just realised we might have another 50 minutes or so of this to sit through

Garnacho has been shocking tonight

amad to bag.

Been out best player tonight Antony....
Harsh sub.

Ant has played well

Amad for one of the other two should have been the sub to make.

Would bring Rashford off. Been atrocious all night/season.

Do we practice kicking a football at all?
