Other Games 2025-26

[Meanwood Villa]

The Port Vale chief executive was on radio earlier suggesting they would have sold more if they hadn't only gone through on Tuesday

[Pat McMahon]

It’s a shame that Port Vale can’t get a full house for an FA cup game at home to a PL club. Loads of empty seats

They referred to this in 5 Live earlier. They said their chairman said it was annoying they only had 3 days to sell tickets after beating Bristol City in their replay midweek. No idea why they had a replay as I thought all ties were decided on the day now.

Anyway he said it was too short a gap to sell all their tickets and given where that are it Ian annoying missed opportunity to fill the coffers.

[Richard E]

It wasn’t a repla, the first original game was postponed.

[cdbearsfan]

He's lucky as fuck if he's got away with a yellow there.

[Gareth]

Surely the keeper challenged studs up…isn’t that reckless?

[cdbearsfan]

Just because there is a defender in the vicinity doesn't mean it isn't a clear, goalscoring opportunity. On that basis, Bizot should have stayed on in the last round.

[Flamingo Lane]

That should have been a red. The only reason the Vale player's touch took him a bit wide was that the keeper's lunge at him took him that way. Terrible refereeing.

[Flamingo Lane]

Plus, the test is whether a goal scoring opportunity was denied, which it was. The test is not whether a goal would have obviously been scored.

I am finding second hand Villa Cupism watching Sunderland be utterly woeful.

[Toronto Villa]

Fantastic result for Port Vale and well done Joe Gauci!!!

[cdbearsfan]

Port Vale through, so at least we know who Arsenal are getting in the next round.

[Villa Lew]

Maybe the FA Cup is not quite dead yet.

[Flamingo Lane]

Didn’t they knock us out en route to the final?

I'd forgotten that. Beat us in a replay at VP. From recollection, we'd been 2-0 up at the Dell before conceding two late goals.

[Flamingo Lane]

Well done Vale. You can now start planning your trip to Chelsea in the QF.

It was 1-1.
