Bissouma may miss the game, too, if Mali aren't shit...

They could put Mabbutt and Perryman in the centre of defence and we still wouldn't score there!

I've never played in an FA cup away day!! And I'm in London that weekend just by chance.

Sorry Cole, unfortunately you've signed for Chelsea now! : )

I never understand that kind of mentality. I always want the easiest/weakest team left in the comp…. at HOME. Best chance of progressing and winning the competition.

Each to their own. I'll be looking forward to this

Oh so will I, but I’d still rather have Eastleigh at HOME

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...!

	City	Utd	Liverpool	Chelsea	Arsenal	Spurs
Ties	62	56	40	64	49	46
Top 6	13	15	8	17	11	5
	21%	27%	20%	27%	22%	11%
Prem	31	35	22	33	27	21
	50%	63%	55%	52%	55%	46%
=<3	6	12	9	7	9	15
	10%	21%	23%	11%	18%	33%

Is the top since constant? If so there is an odd number which jumps out.

Reminds me of a bit of banter with Spurs on the tube after a defeat at the new stadium when Jose was their manager.

Tube was rammed and cocky spurs lads were giving it large..

I wasn't in the best of moods....said to spurs " remember when you were relegated to the old 2nd division ?
The reply was ,no I can't remember that , I'm too young, well before my time!"

I replied..well have you heard of Steve Perryman,your record appearance holder ??"

Cocky spurs fan replied with indignation.... " of course I've heard of Steve Perryman!!

I said ,well he was your captain when you went down...

Even his mates laughed at him.

Friday night 8pm kick off, on Itv,apparently.

 

[Spurs quarter 69]

Will get Chelsea or Spurs get rid of a hard tie for the gruesome twosome. Won't get sent to Anfield or OT as to great a danger we'd win. Rags will get Wrexham at home dippers Maidstone. We shall see.

See I'm good

I'd sooner have big exciting ties. If you're good enough you're good enough and we are.
