[Infield Infidel]

Holy fuck I did not know AFC Wimbledon drew Milton Keynes. I'll have to figure out a way to watch that one. It's the second time they've played. Both times at Milton Keynes.
 
I didn't watch the last one a couple years back in the FA Cup but it was apparently dreadful and chippy. 

 

[SoxFanInCali]

Yeah, I saw the first one, it was a pretty lousy game.  If they were going to play again, I would have loved to see AFC Wimbledon drawn as the home team.

 

[Infield Infidel]

Milton Keynes scored off a corner, 1-0
 
I had forgotten that Akinfenwa signed with AFC Wimbledon, he juuuuuust missed a shot earlier

Spoiler

 

[Infield Infidel]

Second half, MKD scored again 2-0
 
a couple skirmishes so far in the second half, first one was after a nice judo takedown by a MKD player, which resulted in him getting cleated a bit
 
five cards so far
 
and they iced it with a third goal. Booooooo.

 

[Infield Infidel]

WOOOO! Wombles nicked a penalty at the death 3-1, a couple dozen fans rushed the field after the final whistle. 

 

[SoxFanInCali]

Dag & Red and Brentford are in extra time at 5-5.  Dag & Red scored in the 90th minute to tie it at 4, and each team has scored in extra time.  This is one of seven matches currently in ET.

 

[SoxFanInCali]

Both teams scored AGAIN in extra time to go to penalties at 6-6.  Brentford eventually went through 4-2.

Poetic justice: MKD just drew Manchester United, so their stay in this competition isn't likely to be much longer than AFC Wimbledon.
 
The full draw:
 
Burton vs QPR
Port Vale vs Cardiff City
Middlesbrough vs Preston
Stoke vs Portsmouth
Huddersfield vs Nottingham Forest
Swansea City vs Rotherham
Watford vs Doncaster
Millwall vs Southampton

[Dummy Hoy]

Wednesday continues their run of undefeated play to start the year by knocking off Burnley 1-0 at Turf Moor. Only one goal allowed from open play in 6 games so far for the Owls this season.
 
Shrewsbury Town went on the road to beat Leicester 1-0...quite a shock considering how organized and professional Leicester has been under Nigel Pearson. 
 
MK Dons/ Man U, blah blah blah.
 
The first meeting between the two teams since the "Tevez Incident" saw Sheffield United battle West Ham to penalties and win 5-4 at Upton Park. Huge win for the pigs who haven't had much to cheer about as of late.

 

[SoxFanInCali]

West Brom had their first 2 penalties saved against Oxford United, but made the next 7 to win the shootout 7-6.

 

[SoxFanInCali]

Leeds went down to 10 men in the first half, but managed to score against Bradford City in the 82nd minute.
 
Bradford then turned around and scored in the 84th and 86th minute, causing some fans to invade the pitch.  Bradford was able to survive NINE minutes of added time and won 2-1.

When I was younger I never understood the "We all hate Leeds scum" chant. Once you get to know that team and fan base though... (Sorry SS, you seem like good people)

Fucking Pigs get to go to Leyton Orient while Wednesday draws a trip to the Etihad. C'mon you O's!

Hate isn't the opposite of love, apathy is.
At least people care enough about Leeds to show their scorn.
