FA Cup Draw

Slightly irritated that Sheffield United are playing the kids against Spurs tonight. They've made 8 changes. Maybe they're scared of us.

But then again they're not going to experience what we did last night. Shoddy from their manager.

Lovely fluff piece for Sheffield United. I didn't hear about their transfer embargo - did I miss it?

Being selfish, Tottenham away. Always wanted to go

It's nothing special and the area around the ground is a bombsite.

I'm sure that's just to save face - the BBC won't be happy that they've given their prime-time slot to a club only for them to send half the reserves out.

Come on Grimsby

It's no coincidence that the only genuine nailed on starter that Sheffield United have playing tonight just so happens to be suspended on Saturday. Virus my arse.

To me fielding a weakened side is a sign of a worried team. Let's compound that worry on Saturday

If we get an away draw against either City or United, what’s the likelihood of getting tickets if you aren’t a season ticket holder? We’re over this weekend as were planning on going to the Burnley game which is now being rearranged.

They've got 10 behind the ball too - I've no idea what he's playing at here.

Ewood Park.

Millenium Stadium is pretty nice too - lovely area around the ground too.

A big chance as theoretically we would get 7kish at City, 9k for OT.

And quite a few ST holders won’t bother.

I’ve no time for Tottenham, but it’s obviously a great stadium as new builds go…

That's one relegation spot sewn up then. Southampton are clearly gone.

Grimsby 2 up

It's better than Wembley, if that's what you're into. 

It's a good 15 mins from the Tube though and as I said the area around the ground is genuinely awful.

Wrong thread for a lengthy discussion, but I suspect Dyche will squeeze enough points out of that squad to survive. The bottom half of the Prem isn't very good.  Hope I'm wrong though, I'd love them to tumble down the leagues with that millstone of a new stadium round their neck.

1. Southampton or Grimsby Town
2. Blackburn Rovers
3. Brighton
4. Sheffield United or Tottenham
5. Fulham
6. Manchester City
7. Manchester United or West Ham
8. Burnley or Fleetwood Town

police want balls 2 and 8 warming up so they don't draw each other

If we're on the Beeb in the next round i hope they don't get Danny Murphy on to talk about the wonderful 2 years he had with us stealing a wage
