the real football thread

onference North side Blyth Spartans caused a major shock in the First Round of the FA Cup with a 3-1 win over Shrewsbury.

 

A first-half double from teenage striker Shaun Reay inspired Spartans to a famous victory at Croft Park.

 

The deadlock was broken after just 31 seconds as Robbie Dale's precise through ball released Reay and the striker calmly curled the ball beyond the onrushing Glyn Garner from 12 yards.

 

Shrewsbury huffed and puffed in an attempt to get back on level terms but despite the threat of Chris Humphrey on the right the final ball was too often lacking for the visitors.

 

Blyth doubled their lead in the 27th minute as a mistake from Shrewsbury's Steve Leslie allowed Reay a clear run on goal and the 19-year-old produced a clinical finish in to the bottom corner from just inside the penalty box.

 

Blyth extended their lead six minutes after the restart as Gareth Williams' free kick was only half cleared as far as Dale and the striker hooked the ball back in to the box for Andy Leeson to bundle home from close range.

 

The League Two side pulled one back in the 67th minute as Paul Murray's free kick was flicked in by Grant Holt but there was to be no dramatic comeback.

Unlucky paul simpson . An accountant scored two goals too, yay accountants!

Watch it! You will see how we play some quality football but we cant finish the move off with a goal. You will then see us concede goals from any shots on target Ipswich have ending in us losing :001_smile:

Carling Cup Quarter Final Draw

 

Stoke City v Derby County

Manchester United v Blackburn Rovers

Burnley v Arsenal

Watford v Tottenham Hotspur

 

Well I would've hoped for Derby,Burnley or Stoke at home if we want to go further, but Watford are known for their good cup runs in the recent past. My family support Spurs so it will be a great family day at the Vic :001_smile:

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We actually won a football match! 1-0 and it was a sloppy goal, but 3 points bagged, into double figures W00T!

 

Were only three points behind your team lux0rz .

 

We never lose on TV, we should be on each week!

[Lux]

Lol it was same old Watford.

 

Go a goal up, and then go and let 2 goals in a short space of time (2 minutes) and go and lose the game.

W00t we have just got a new manager....Brendan Rogers the former Chelsea Reserve Manager.

 

He is joined by Frank Lampard Snr. who will be under the role of "football consultant"......

 

Also joining him is Dean Austin, who is assistant manager.

 

 

Sounds good for us because they are maybe inexperienced but I'm sure they are more than capable of bringing Watford forward, as long as we can find a buy owner :mellow:

Wigan got hammered by west brom and won 2-1

[Paul]

Histon 1-0 Leeds Utd :rlol::rlol::rlol::rlol::rlol::rlol:

Burnley beat Arsenal's kids 2-0 and Derby won with a Ellington McRubbish 94th minute penalty.

 

 

Funny how Burnley have taken out Arsenal AND Chelsea, and now if Watford beat the Spurs who then theres a 2/3 chance we will play another Championship team to get into the FINAL.

But lets not get carried away....Spurs will be a tough team.
