Fa cup

John Roycroft takes a look at the FA Cup third round where traditionally the final contenders join the competition.

Despite Newcastle winning the FA Cup six times in their history, The Toon has not been a regular visitor of late to Wembley. More disturbing for a club of their size and stature is that they have not got within a donkey’s roar of making the final ever since, even though Wembley is just 16km down the road. Manchester City’s last FA Cup title win was 2019’s 6-0 demolition of Watford and prior to that, 2011’s 1-0 edgy win over Stoke.
