The FA Cup Campaign 2015/16

[splishsplosh]

Our best chance of silverware comes in the form of this seasons FA Cup.

 

Chelsea vs. Leyton Orient/Sc**thorpe

 

Should make it to the 4th round at least.

[Stim]

Haha the forum censor

 

sc**thorpe

[Carshalton Blue]

Crap draw Zzzzzz

[Valerie]

Leythorpe must fancy their chances.

Too negative?

orient could be a case of deja vu...1972...a season of imploding just like this.....the break up of the great late sixties team...advitaberg/orient/stoke......not happy memorys..

[Chippy]

A nice run out for a couple of the youngsters or a chance for our ever present favourites to get some confidence, another trophy almost in the bag.

[Thrives]

We NEED to go for this one 100% ... realistically, our only chance of silverware this season, no matter what happens in the league, CL etc. 

[carrickblue]

I'm already nervous. You can take absolutely nothing for granted these days.

They beat us at the Bridge a few years later too, '78ish.

God I remember being so wound up after that one!  Wasn't that the one where, at the away first game when the wall collapsed, instead of it being put down as being due to being a poxy gound, it was Chelsea fans' fault for leaning on it too hard?

[Peckham Blue]

Yep.

[RomansRoubles]

Shame we drew one of these two giants as I really thought we had a chance this season. Still at least we'll free up the calendar for the second half of the year.

[Scott Harris]

I should be excited about the F.A cup, but all i can think about is how we are going to sort ourselves out in the league.

Our best chance to secure some silverware! Hopefully we get our act together by the time the 3rd round clash comes around.

[romfordblue]

Anyone remember Bradford at HOME? Not an easy game IMO.

[Beerqueen]

Yep just as I remembered - all our fault of course.

[Joust]

Surprised splishsplosh hasn't also said that it's also our only hope for European qualification next season given his run of form.

[Boyne]

Game against Orient or Sc**thorpe will be at 2pm on Sunday, 10 January. Game will be shown on BT Sport.

I would, but we aren't going to win the FA Cup, so thought better of it.

[Carshalton Blue]

Both Orient & Sc**thorpe are only taking 3,000 tickets, bit surprised Orient dont want the full 6,000.

Very strange. Tickets will be easy so

[TheChelseaBlues]

Luckily we'll be on TV.

Random but I read a stat that every United FA cup game has been televised since 2005.

[evissy]

Best chance of silverware so our lads should be up for it.

Don't write us off! We may not be playing well at the moment but I still definitely give us a chance of winning the FA Cup.

 

It's a competition of surprises and an element of luck so no one can be written off instantaneously just like that.
