What's the dates for the 5th round to be played ?

Think I read somewhere that it was 6.15pm, so I assume after the Chelsea match.

Around half 6 i think mate but not certain.

Thanks fellas. We always get a spike in traffic when the draw is done, so I'd better put a few more pence in the meter!

Hopefully we get a home draw

It says between the 19th-22nd February on there.

So:
14th Feb - Tottenham (H)
19th-22nd Feb - FA Cup 5th Round
24th Feb - Dynamo Kiev (A)

Ideally it would be great if we were the Friday night game on the BBC but I doubt the TV companies will do us any favours.

I'd assume the latest we can play is Saturday, anyone confirm? Would be taking the piss if its Sunday.

As i said before the 4th round draw. Born and bred in Liverpool. Supported City for more than 45 years and lived in Peterborough for almost 30 years, where my son was born. So pretty, pretty please Peterborough away (hopefully they get past Brom in the replay).

With the fixture piling up as they are, it would be a big positive to draw a lower division team at home. We really need a game where we can put put a scratch team and rest the biggest names. With the injuries we have some players are going to be playing a lot of minutes over the next month or two.

Exactly this

Fuck the glamour games and big away days, at this stage of the season we need Shrewsbury at home

I think with Kiev and a cup final ahead, he won't be playing our strongest team whoever we draw. And that's the right decision.
