We’ll get around 7000 tickets. I’d have thought that there should be more than a few spares floating around. Can’t be on Monday as both teams play on the Wednesday of that week.

Portsmouth got 8800, which they apparently called the full allocation
 
Haven't changed my opinion since the draw. There's no reason why we should be any more afraid of this game than they are. They don't have "one of our own"™ anymore (who, from memory seemed to score regularly against us). And Son is highly unlikely to be back from the Asia Cup by then. If we're pretty much at full strength (Stones, maybe/hopefully, the only absentee?), we're by far a better team than them.

Carpe Diem. With both hands.
 
For anyone interested, we're not particularly unlucky in drawing Premier League teams or "Top 6" teams in the FA Cup, although we are unlucky when it comes to drawing teams outside the Top 2 divisions, so League 1, League 2 or non-League. But there is one stand-out lucky team, and that's Spurs, who hardly ever draw "Top 6" and get lower league opposition in a third of their games... I've been keeping count since 2009/10...!

Respectfully, I disagree. It's a brilliant tie. Great Allocation, Great ground against a decent team who will give it a go, being backed by a large city contingent. Can't wait. These are the games you want to play. I nearly fell asleep first half in the Huddersfield game for comparison….

When you’re City’s quality you have to back yourself in these ties. Just take a look at what fixtures we ploughed through last year to win a TREBLE!

Plus practically all their main attacking threats are out - including Kane :)
