You've got to be confident with that draw.
Haven't you?
Well........pleased with non PL club but our record against NE clubs in the FA Cup is crap. I can remember losing to Boro in the early 70's and twice in the 90's. Lost to the Geordies in '75 when it was switched to Maine Rd and then under Horton away in the 90's and of course the 1955 cup final. Lost that '73 replay to Sunderland and bloody hell we needed a replay against Hartlepool under Royle!!!!! Have we ever beaten one if the NE big teams?
On that optimistic note, Happy New Year!!!
