Fulham v Burnley FA Cup 4th Round Match Preview

[The Bedlington Terrier]

Indeed BT, but have a look at the likely opposition should we reach the last 8, United, Southampton, Spurs, Chelsea, City, Leicester, and get your feet back on the ground.

I have backed West Ham, they are on a roll and have a good old FA Cup tradition.

The last 8(7), you only have to beat 3 of them

Let’s see if we can get through Round 5 and then check what the QF draw is.

Indeed outwood, because despite sinkov's natural pessimism we are two games away from a Wembley Cup Final if we can see off tonight's winners.

This will be an interesting clash between Bournemouth and Crawley. Former Burnley assistant Jason Tindall will be in charge of the Cherries who currently lie in the Championship play off places. Crawley Town are mid table in League 2 but have games in hand on the clubs above them and could well push up into the play off places themselves. They are also above former PL clubs Oldham, Bolton and Bradford City. They have reached Round 5 of the FA Cup in the past and will certainly fancy their chances of doing so again. Bring it on and let’s see who will be rocking up at the Turf with a QF place at stake.

B F Peacock
Bardsley, Tarkowski, Dunne, Pieters,
Cork, Stephens, Benson,
Jay Rod, Mumbongo & Vydra.

I forgot to add, I thought we would win 3-0.

Unacceptable because we put a different team out and one of the different players scored a goal. This is like a player diving ---bloody con job!

Another bit of spice added to tonight's game is the fact that Crawley boss, John Yems, was football operations manager at Bournemouth for 6 and a half years before being dismissed without warning in 2018, after being told by Eddie Howe on a journey back from Burnley, where they had just beaten us 2-1, that he was fighting to keep him in place. Two days later he was told by the club that they couldn't afford to keep him and he was made redundant. Needless to say, he was not a happy man and tonight will be the first time that he has been back at the ground since he left.

Should be a good match then, a lot to play for.

A bit of added spice then.
