Big upset if you lose to Exeter injuries are no excuse.

I dunno, injuries are a fair excuse I think when like your entire defensive half of your team are out haha.

Couple more Enrique and Benteke could join that list.

Exeter were brilliant, they really should've won it with the chances they had but now they get a trip to Anfield and another pile of cash, it's great for them regardless of the replay result.

Thanks tob. Let me tell you, we really need this cup. No doubt about it. I hope we do.

Looks like your teams are clashing nice and early in the FA cup this season tob and Steedeel. I'm looking forward to that match tomorrow. Any predictions?

We will lose!

Not bothered to be honest. Far more concerned with staying up. We are only two more defeats away from quicksand.

Anyway, I predict 3-1 Arsenal.

Tob, excuse me. I normally send a message before our teams clash but I have been engrossed in Hannibal boxset!

I don't know man. I would have said a possible draw had you played at home, but because this will be at the Emirates, I'm inclined to say 2-1 Arsenal.

We are awful though mate. Even at full strength we are shockingly bad. A few key players missing and......oh dear!

While I agree that you guys have played quite badly thus far, this is the FA cup after all, so it's usually taken a little more seriously by teams/players alike (methinks) than a regular league showdown. But yeah, it's unfortunate that Sunderland is still having to deal with poor play and relegation talks year after year. You are a trooper (along with the rest of the fan base) to be putting up with such mediocre play from them. I probably would have pulled out all my hair by now. Hahahah

My sister told me she has had enough and won't be renewing her season ticket if we go down. My reply? Yeah, right!

She knows as well as I do that we will be back next year!

If you think that is suffering, I attended every home game in our one and only season in the old div 3 back in the 80's (now called League 1) 30,000 home crowd for last home game of that season and regular 5,000 away fans. We took over a lot of grounds. The league didn't know what hit them!
