Going far in the FA Cup is one of them." "It boosts my confidence, I just want to help the team as best as I can. "We've had some excellent performances, but have left ourselves a lot to do in the league. "I've not won both at the same time before!" We've dominated the ball a lot, which we didn't do in the WSL, but with that comes teething problems. If we do that we have a chance." [Players publicly protested](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/59341154) at issues regarding facilities and resources, while a lack of investment and support from the board led to three managerial changes in 12 months. Players can see how special it was through her." Details of that game represent a stark reminder of just how women's football was treated until very recently. No matter the opposition, we have a chance." "Going down kicked a few people into realising a rebuild was needed. "It'll give us confidence going in there knowing we are capable.

Taking on the powerhouses: Grimsby's golden age in the FA Cup (The Guardian)

After beating Hartlepool and Port Vale, Grimsby were drawn at home to Manchester City in the fifth round. Within 15 months City would be champions for the first ...

Moulson was treated in the dressing room for the remainder of the game. His second touch was his last – of the game, and as a Grimsby player. Grimsby’s share of the gate receipts was £1,982, 11 shillings and seven pence. In the semi-final Grimsby were drawn to meet the most exciting team in the country, Wolves, at Old Trafford. They were hammered 5-0 – “a preposterous exaggeration of Wolverhampton’s merit”, said the Guardian – with Dennis Westcott scoring four. Grimsby’s second great Cup run occurred in the last season before the second world war; though nobody realised at the time, it was the end of the club’s golden period. With a couple of Division Two teams in the last four, Grimsby were 5-2 second favourites to win the Cup. It meant a Grimsby debut for the 24-year-old Irish goalkeeper George Moulson. They returned to London for the quarter-finals, facing a Chelsea side fighting relegation. The game was played on a ferociously hot March day. Arsenal were having an unplanned year off in the league but were still a symbol of class, glamour and might. This paper said that the two teams had “given Lincolnshire football one of the greatest stimulants in its history”.

'Grimsby is a hub of positivity': How FA Cup giant-killing run has re ... (iNews)

The League Two club are eyeing a famous scalp against Brighton in the quarter-final after already seeing off five teams from higher divisions.

“The eternal hope in me as a long-standing Grimsby Town fan is we might sneak a 1-0 win,” says Billings. It has had a rebirth as a hub of green energy and the positivity is not just around the football club but the town itself too.” “Anything like this is good publicity for the football club and generates that support,” Billings adds. “It’s usually Grimsby is one of the top 10 worse places to live in the UK, or unemployment is through the roof, so this is a great opportunity to put it in the spotlight for something more than that. “We were banned from taking inflatables to Barnet because a steward was hit over the head with an inflatable shark and was prosecuted for it [the fan was given a 12-month conditional discharge and ordered to pay the steward £100],” Green says. “I got a bit excited at the second penalty and he sort of deflated a sad death.

Grimsby Town travel south this weekend as they take on Brighton in the FA Cup sixth round.

Stephen Wearne is also set to miss out, as he is cup tied too, but other than that the Mariners have a decent bill of health. For Grimsby, they are just one game away from a famous trip to Wembley for the semi-finals but they know that it is going to be a tall order trying to get the better of the Seagulls, who are having one of the best campaigns they have ever had in their history. The Mariners have had a brilliant run in the competition this season and are looking to cause another upset this weekend, as they take on a Brighton side that has also had a fine campaign, with them looking to finish inside a European-qualifying spot in the Premier League as well as potentially win this trophy.

Grimsby's cup voyage has Holohan on crest of a wave (RTE.ie)

FA Cup weekends never fail to generate a full set of cliches, nostalgia and hope for the underdog. For Grimsby, Irishman Gavan Holohan is daring to dream.

"He a young lad, but he’s a big presence, and that’s something we haven’t had with the Irish team for some time. We have plenty of good young Irish players coming through now, and with Evan, the future looks very bright. If I scored, I’d make it 2-0, and we’d be in the driving seat." "We’ve never really had a designated penalty taker. That’s where the club deserves to be. I was so happy to see them fly in.

Twelve-time winners United have not won the FA Cup since 2016. The dynamic winger duo of Tyrhys Dolan and Sorba Thomas are fantastic footballers, while Sammi Szmodics is adding goals and assists from his central role. Jon Dahl Tomasson is the boss and Rovers have never been past the last eight of the FA Cup in 12 attempts. The odds are stacked slightly against them to change that here but Rovers travel to South Yorkshire in fine form having won seven of their last eight games. Blackburn are one of six teams in England’s top four tiers to never play at the new Wembley. Burnley won the FA Cup in 1914 but these sides’ last meeting in the competition was in 2019, when City won 5-0.

Why are FA Cup semi finals played at Wembley Stadium ... (Sporting News)

The 2022/23 FA Cup looks set for a thrilling finale in the coming weeks the news of a non Premier League team reaching the semifinal stage.

The celebration. The goal. The prospect of 'earning' the right to play at Wembley was a key aspect of FA Cup campaigns with that factor now brought forward to the semifinal stage. Fans of teams playing in the FA Cup semifinals have been frustrated by the FA's decision to move the games to Wembley for a host of reasons. The decision to move FA Cup semifinals away from the traditional setting of neutral club grounds was made in 2007 as the FA aimed to generate income from ticket sales at the new 90,000-capacity arena. However, following the stadium's redevelopment, the FA announced the bold move to also play all FA Cup semifinal matches at the stadium, alongside the final itself, from 2008 onwards.

Blackburn's rejuvenated rejects target promotion and FA Cup progress (The Guardian)

The 90s powerhouse are rising again thanks to academy talent and a core of young players released by Premier League clubs.

“I can’t remember saying at the start of the season with all the coaches involved that we have to get in the playoffs this year because it is a young team, the manager’s first year in the country. With a few of the team being academy lads, I think it helps us because we want to do the best for this club because it has given a lot to us in the academy and throughout the under-21s, then into the first team.” “The club has not played at the new Wembley, so if we can get there it would be exciting for everyone at the club and all the fans,” Carter says. I think as players we knew we could be up and around it, so hopefully we can continue with that to the end of the season and stay in there.” “It was tough to leave City because that was all I’ve known and when you are a kid, when you are comfortable, you are happy,” he says. That is why I decided to come here when I left City and I’m glad I did.”

Manchester City v Burnley: FA Cup quarter-final – live (The Guardian)

Minute-by-minute report: Can Vincent Kompany sink his old club's FA Cup hopes as Burnley travel to Manchester City? Find out with Scott Murray.

The ball was begging to be bundled over the line. The Lineker Affair wasn’t the first time a prime-time light entertainment star wandered off piste in search of a greater truth. And no wonder: pretty sure they’d have settled at the start of the season for winning the Championship in style. Cork is extremely fortunate not to go into the referee’s notebook. Then suddenly Rodri sends a diagonal ball towards Walker on the right-hand edge of the box. The ball pings off the top of Beyer’s head and out for a corner. He enters the box, drops a shoulder to see off Maatsen, then rolls across to tee up Alvarez for a simple tap-in. City soon come again, Phillips striding into the box down the same flank and sending a screamer over the bar from a tight angle. Alvarez drops a shoulder to see off Al Dakhil, jinks inside, and absolutely roofs his shot into the net. 83 min: Cullen sweeps a cross in from the left. 87 min: De Bruyne dribbles down the inside left channel and draws a clumsy foul from Cullen. According to Gary Lineker on the BBC, Erling Haaland has spent the last two matches scoring goals at the rate of one every 15 minutes and 45 seconds.

Grimsby captain Luke Waterfall eyeing Brighton upset with Wembley ... (Mirror.co.uk)

In a port where the catch of the day was once haddock or cod in the back of the net, Grimsby are planning to land their biggest fish yet.

It was brilliant at Southampton when all those inflatable fish were flying on the pitch at full-time and we were chucking them back. “Gates were down to 2,500 when I first walked in the door, but they were up to 9,500 by the end of that season and it was a fast track towards reconnecting a club with its fans and the city. It was a magical time to be involved in the rebuild of a football club, and that Cup run was the start of Lincoln climbing back from non-League to where they are now. On that run we beat Brighton, who were managed by Chris Hughton and flying high in the Championship at the time, and when we went 1-0 down early on you think, 'Oh no, this is going to be a long day at the office.' “Every young kid rehearses doing that in the mirror, but only a handful get to live the dream. “It was a real eye-opener speaking to the pilots about teamwork and their trust in each other.

FA Cup draw LIVE: Man City, Manchester United and Fulham learn ... (The Independent)

The Premier League champions were joined by Sheffield United, who prevailed against Blackburn in an all-Championship tie. Follow live updates from the FA Cup ...

90+4 mins: United are currenly heading for a very busy April, with their involvement in the FA Cup, Europa League and Premier League. 88 mins: Antony threatens with a dribble into the box, in which he danced past Leno before being tackled on the line. Manchester United 2-1 Fulham Fernandes wraps up a crazy comeback! As Manchester United moved a step nearer a cup treble, Fulham mustered a less welcome hat-trick of their own. You have to keep the emotional balance of course. Sometimes it is not easy but it is our obligation to do it. Because if Fulham lost a chance to close in on a first major trophy in their 144-year history, they also lost their heads. At a ground with a statue of United’s holy trinity, Fulham instead had their own unholy trinity. Until then, Silva’s gameplan had been terrific and executed wonderfully and Mitrovic had produced a superb display. Sheffield United prevailed against Blackburn in a thrilling tie, but could have to face City without match-winner Tommy Doyle and James McAtee, who are on loan from the Premier League club. Manchester United 3-1 Fulham
