FA Cup Predictions 2025 (3rd Round)      🏆   ⚽   🏆

Here we go with Season no.10 of the NBTF FA Cup predictions Competition.
All welcome, just me and Paulo last year so the more the merrier.

Rules - 3 points for a correct score, 1 point for a correct result.
Scores at full time (90+ minutes) only (not including extra time and penalties).

As far as I know only the Semi's and Final clash with Premier league weekends.

    Sheff Utd v Cardiff 2-0
    Everton v Peterborough 1-0
    Fulham v Watford 2-0

    Wycombe v Portsmouth 2-2
    Aston Villa v West Ham 1-1

    Lets hope Harry Potter can work some magic :) Any win would do even penalties

  2. Sutton's guest for this is Billy Bob Thornton the actor.

    Posted this a few weeks back on Social Media
    "Graham Potter seems like a nice fella, But why does his name come up so much as a possible new West Ham manager?
    Since Chelsea sacked him last April there have been 22 new permanent manager positions filled in the Premier league, and he wasn't close to any of them."

    Got this reply
    "Because he's unemployed and lives within commuting distance."

    Possibly? at least the press conferences and interviews will be better than Lopetegui
    and hopefully the playing will be?

  3. So there was briefly 3 English managers in the Premier league after Potter joined, then Everton sack Sean Dyche hours before their Cup game? and it's back to two. Liked Dyche so a good time for Everton to get relegated.

  4. 98th minute 2nd goal at Everton costing me 3 points, Cardiff away win only shock.

  5. Was feeling confident before the game, good team selection of available players and Villa having Terrible Mings at the back. Up till the mystery corner we were on top and playing the best I've seen this season. But after O'Nana's goal it all went back to normal.
    More injuries meaning we only have Ings left up front for Tuesday's game.

    5 Games
    Paulo 3, Lee 2, (Suttton 7, Billy Bob 6)

  6. 3 games postponed till Tuesday, 3 games 1-1 at 90 mins
    Only real shock was Plymouth now free of Rooney winning at Brentford
    Divin Mubama sick of bench warming under Moyes left for Man city (how we need him now) replaces Haaland today in Man City's 8-0 win over the boys of 92.
    Chelsea, Liverpool, Bournemouth, Brighton and surprisingly Leicester all hammer their lower league opponents.

    21 Games
    Lee 18, Paulo 18, (Sutton 23, Billy Bob 16)

  7. Won't let me publish scores?

  8. Tottenham scraping through in extra time at Non League Tamworth thanks to a 100th minute scrappy own goal after a dubiously given free kick. Final score flattering as the part timers ran out of steam and Tottenham having to use all their star players.
    *
    Arsenal v Man Utd ending up as a good game after dull 1st half, hard to like Arsenal at the moment with all their diving, whining and time wasting.
    Man Utd winning on penalties despite playing an hour with 10 men.
