FA Cup 5th Round Draw 2019 - Newport (a)

5th round fixtures confirmed

QPR vs Watford
Brighton vs Derby
Wimbledon vs Millwall
Newport vs Manchester City
Bristol City vs Wolves
Doncaster vs Palace
Swansea vs Brentford
Chelsea vs Manchester United
 
Thats probably the weakest looking FA Cup 5th round i can remember. Great opportunity for us here to add more silverware, we really need to avoid any stupid slip ups like last season. Rest some key players but a relatively strong side needed.
 
We can afford to rest/not risk some key players. We have more than enough quality to win this, but if we go there with arrogance and get beat, we will never live it down.
They beat Leicester, and they’re on their ‘cow patch’, I know it’s the same for both teams, but Fcuking hell, we might as well play on a Salisbury Plain, all that’s missing is some tanks. It’s shocking.

I've booked a direct train. I hope I don't have to use a bus.

My lad did the same thing.

He is now going to go down via Crewe and Bristol to avoid the bus, and attempt to do the same coming back - it will be difficult if there is extra time and penalties.

Two possible return trains, the early one being via Bristol and Crewe whilst the later one necessitates using the bus which he doesn't want to do.

Ahh 'proper pitches' I well remember Pat Jennings bouncing the ball hand to ground and return before he would drop kick it from the Platt Lane end only for it to just stick in the mud.
