I have not one iota, jot, stuff, call it what you will, of sympathy for those that own us. They have made their bed. If they are as rich as it seems, call the loss of money every month penance for their sheer incompetence at buying a play thing, and playing at it. If they were such hard headed business people, they should have listened to their very experienced then board about how to run a football club in the PL. Be careful what you wish for. It is now turning the fans against each other again. Fans have free choice and free will. No fan is necessarily better than another. The Loons have ground down many a previously loyal fan (me included). I have reasons for not going next Tuesday. It doesn't stop me watching the game on TV and wanting us to win. It also doesn't stop me wanting to see the back of them. I still don't see them as fit and proper owners even now. They simply bank roll the club IMO, lack any passion for the club/town/tradition of our great club. Why do they bother? A great question, and one they have never looked to answer!

But as JHR has stated, weren't the club obliged to sell the tickets for the same price as Newcastle? At the moment, until an announcement by the Beeb/BT, we don't know what night it might be played, or even whether it is televised? Many posters have sighted FA Cup games as a strange phenomenon at Ewood. The crowd will be hit by TV coverage, Newcastle by all accounts won't bring their usual large following, 12-14,0000 tops I would predict.

Happy Accy are at home again. No reason we couldn't do a home double if TM holds his nerve and plays a strong team.

Watford is not a great draw, but at least the Bastards are out next round!

Red Scouse out.

Where's Joe Street?

Agree totally.

See that Oldham beat Fulham, Barnet won at Sheff Utd, and Donny did the Nobbers, happy days!

5 minutes, where from?

Beautiful, we can’t let Dack go!

Travis another lovely ball to Dack who should have done better.

Should have scored from a Charlie special corner!

According to the BT team, there was a spare coach!

Well done Stanley!

Accy 1-0 up v Ipswich, hope they hold on!

There was no way OT was full today, there were swathes of empty seats. Reading brought 3,000, but there has been creative counting IMO.

I'm in the camp, going into a couple of I'm a great believer in momentum, and going into two league games that should be won, a win at Newcastle would be a fillip. Not Philipl. So for Spurs to go there and win like that? Why wouldn't they want to win the cup after eleven years of nowt? i don't believe they can win the league.

Well on the eve of our match, the first match of the dog's dinner round of three takes place on the Wirral. As I type, Spurs are 7-0 up at Tranmere. A thread not particularly for our great FA cup tradition, but for comments about the other ties? As I said in the Newcastle thread, it would be nice for us to take it seriously. The commentators are saying Spurs not reet bothered. I find that quite sad. But they are doing alreet at the moment!

Well they have been ruffed up by Manure.

But the girls from Geordie Shore would spend thousands!

As Ashley has now bought Debenhams, we can hold it in the Mall!

When I looked it up, they have in the main always won the replays! Be careful what you wish for!

I agree, but it all comes down to the V-factor?

If you ever get desperate, I'll google loads of bollocks about the opposition that isn't as good as Blackburn!

I try my best whilst living on the edge of a Rovers performance. I'm happy we had a win.
