The 2015–16 FA Cup (also known as the FA Challenge Cup) will be the 135th edition of the oldest recognised football tournament in the world. It will be sponsored by Emirates, and will be known as the Emirates FA Cup for sponsorship purposes. It will begin with the Extra Preliminary Round on 15 August 2015, and conclude with the final on 21 May 2016.

The defending champions were Premier League side Arsenal, after they beat Aston Villa 4–0 in the previous final on 30 May 2015.

Man United havent won this in 11 years. Can see them break that duck this season.
Dirk Nowitzki, Steve Nash, Kevin Garnett, Toni Kroos, Pep Guardiola, Ernst Happel, Joachim Löw.

West Ham take the lead against Liverpool. Lovely finish from Antonio, but really poor marking from the scouse back line.

This Spurs team really loses a lot of its quality when Alderweireld doesn't play, and Dier drops out from midfield. Really opens the team up for counter-attacks. Doesn't help that Bentaleb is **** though.

Palace are absolute ****. No excuses for losing to them.

Chelsea beating City 4-1, but it might as well be a League One City side. It's Demichelis + a bunch of kids.

Why did City roll out a scrub lineup? Just like for Chelsea FA Cup was most likely their only chance at a trophy this season.

Only saw the last 20 min or so but based on the highlights, it looked like we got pretty unlucky. Really bad games from a few players didnt help either.
