I knew people would get their knickers in a twist about it when I posted it. It’s something people weirdly clutch pearls about without even thinking critically. It’s not unreasonable to suggest that when formats change (I.e qualifying rounds, top teams joining in 3rd round etc) then records...

Yeah Chelsea dagger was the Coleman years. It was pretty ubiquitous around most football stadiums in the late naughties. I could be wrong but I don’t remember it coming back under Robins?

This is such a pointless discussion (instigated my me so my bad 😂). You’re right btw it technically has to count but the format was completely different back then, any old team could enter with no qualifying rounds etc. Hyde had been formed for less than a year.. it’s only the same game by name...

Perfect, thank you 👍 we’re going to have to bag quite a few in the final then!

Completely agree with your broad point but the game you quoted happened before the football league was even created… look at some of the results from the first round that year 😂 I’m just saying going back THAT far is not comparing apples with apples.

Tbf there is a big difference between Victorian football to modern day football. Not sure records can be fairly coupled.

Just googled and this was In 1886… I don’t know why but I feel this shouldn’t count

Random one but last night we were chatting at the game saying I wonder what the record is for team goals in an FA cup run. We’ve done 11 goals in 2 rounds with Maidstone to come… I guess lower league sides get an extra 2 rounds on us but then probably wouldn’t get as far into the tournament...

I thought he’d do well, but not this well. Fair play to him… and fair play to Robins for spotting the talent that Brighton and Swansea couldn’t see.. bet they must be kicking themselves too

I don’t even think it’s as cynical as that, I just think value and hype affects psyche and observation. Eccles in some way has been a victim of just being here and steadily improving instead of coming in as a marquee signing.

Eccles is so underrated in this squad it’s unreal. I’m in no hurry to usher him out of that CM pairing. Works so hard for us and is everywhere we need him to be. Agree Torp also looks a good player but if Eccles had been bought for £2m+ we’d be raving about him a lot more and saying what a signing.

Palmer 9 and MOM for me tonight. He has everything but consistency, which I guess is why he’s here. He has great work rate, great feet, great passing and strong as an ox. Lights up the pitch. Other picks tonight were Da Silva, Torp, Eccles and O’Hare. Wright is still unconvincing for me...

We Live And Die In These Towns

Not really grubby to accept a load more money for doing the same job. I have a problem when premier league players who are already getting paid £500k/week go chasing money because that doesn’t change their lifestyle… but if COH went from £15k to £30k for example that changes your life and why...

I appreciate the info whether it develops correctly or not… plus it gives all of us sad bastards something to talk about

Jeez I can’t even sneak a bottle of Coke in at the CBS

Yeah he must’ve been thinking of the pigs vs Charlton. Tbf I remembered them being little pigs heads rather than the full bodies… I don’t think anyone thought he meant literal pig heads.

I guess we didn’t know he was going, we just knew he wanted to go if the right offer came in (that the club would accept). Other replacement targets probably came and went whilst we were waiting for the Sheff Utd offer (or equivalent)

I don’t know if anyone carried on listening after MR left but they were saying in the studio that it’s a mystery between football people why he hasn’t been given a shot at the prem.

Was just listening to radio whilst driving and without announcement they bought Robins onto the show who gave a really interesting interview. Think he comes on about 8.29pm https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/live:bbc_radio_five_live
