@Billy-Tell I’m here basking in the glory of beating Man U who were diabolical and we were a little bit better.
Have never forgiven them for the FA cup game in 2023 which had all sorts of ramifications for Fulham.
Would be lovely to think we could go further but Palace are looking good.
I have been kicked off the Fulham forum for life for calling some of them whingers. They were at it again today and even in victory they just grizzle about their own team as much as the opposition. -
Bournemouth never been to a FA Cup Qtr.. (have now) so will take the win

I'm pretty sure Beckenbauer did that double.
Yup.

The answer is Trevor Brooking - winning goal scorer of the 1980 FA cup.
Yes it is. It's a cute question.
Also it was a statistical oddity that Preston and Burnley had never met before in the FA Cup. In the 1950s, Leeds were drawn at home to Cardiff in the 3rd round three seasons in a row and all 3 of them finished 1-2.

It's a good question for sure, never heard that before.

My final effort for the day - which Scottish international goalkeeper once scored 4 in an international?
(His career was in the 1980s and 90s)
Andy Goram.... An international cricketer for Scotland iirc.

Bowled by Tim May.
Wow, I did not know he played against that 1989 Aussie side.
I know next to nothing about cricket but that was the First ashes tour that I can remember seeing on TV and I recall that team wiping the floor with England.
Merv Hughes, Boon, Waugh bros and Alan Border et al.

Massive result for Villa away at Brugge this morning. Would have regarded a point as a great result but to go back home with a 2 goal lead is huge. Tyrone Mings how did you keep that header out!

I can’t believe what I just watched. Liverpool completely and utterly dominated by PSG but Allison a masterclass in goal and Elliott a goal against the run of play and Liverpool steal it.

UCL Quarter-Final draw is interesting
PSG v Villa
Arsenal v Real Madrid
Bayern v Inter
Barcelona v DortmundPSG should have too much for Villa but former PSG coach Emery is sure to have some plan to contain them and hit them on the break.
Real Madrid also scraped through on pens but as usual they will be favourites as they generally get through.
Hard to pick between Bayern and Inter - actually fancy Inter for this one.
Barcelona should trounce Dortmund, Pedro, Raphinha and Lamine Yamal are purring at the moment.
And on the weekend games, how the hell did Bournemouth not beat Spurs? They really should have had 4 or 5 and then Spurs scored with a freak cross/shot and Kepa blundering into Son for a penalty

2 nil up and should have been possibly 4 or 5 and then the freak goal and kepa mental collapse, it was definitely points lost
