F. A. Cup record

[rebus]

Congratulations to the current team and back room boys for yesterday's win.

It is the first time since 1953 that Brentford have reached the last 32 of the F.A. Cup in successive seasons - and that was when we were entered into the Third Round on both occasions.

Well done.

Lucky man.

Turns out he does have crystal balls.

 

[Edmundo]

And our average attendance so far this season is uncannily close to his forecast. Maybe someone should ask him what the lottery numbers will be next Saturday?

 

[TW3Bee]

The Cup run can only help generate more interest and in turn boost the average gate even further.

 

[Billy Hunt]

Perhaps he is the only man with more PMA than Martin Allen?

(Mods - I know it's off-topic)

Callen seems to have predicted Niemi's move, too! Celtic > Fulham; Beginning of the season > January window... minor accounting inaccuracies!

I really wish you hadn't posted that.

Well done though.

 

[West Ealing Bee]

1 defeat in the last 13 cup games

I presume you mean FA Cup games

 

[Hungerford Bee]

Haven't we now got to the 4th round in 3 of the last 4 seasons?

Pity about Telford spoiling the record!

 

[Westlad]

PMA look to the future!!!

Although congratulations to MA and the boys for making it happen.

I have been lured into this thread thinking that it was about which song we would be recording on our way to Wembley this year.......

Just what I was thinking/dreading!

 

[Boston Bee]

I've corrected the mistake you made there.

Pity about Wally Downes spoiling the record!

 

[Westlad]

and drawn a team in the north east at home on both occasions.

I've corrected the mistake you made there.

Didn't he get us to the Fourth Round in 2003.

 

[Paul O'Brien]

Didn't he get us to the Fourth Round in 2003.

Too right. It was that cr*p manager Steve Coppell who let us down. Only one cup win against Morecambe, followed by an away loss to Scunthorpe. What a disgrace.

 

[West Ealing Bee]

Didn't he get us to the Fourth Round in 2003.

Why let the facts get in the way

 

[Ronan]

Didn't he get us to the Fourth Round in 2003.

And we all know the truth about who deserved to win.
