Good draw that! Always better being at home.

Hopefully Wolves and Everton can do the necessary too.

I would hazard a guess that the TV games will be:

Liverpool v Everton either Sunday 4.30pm or Monday night, as Liverpool have a league game on Thursday.
Wolves v Man Utd, Arsenal v Leeds, Rochdale/Boston v Newcastle, Gillingham v West Ham & Sheff Utd v AFC Fylde.

the interesting one will be if they have one on Friday night because the PL teams play Wednesday/Thursday so they may just have an extra TV slot on Saturday/Sunday (though they'll probably just stick us on Friday night to screw us).

Surely M'boro v Spurs is the tie of the round.

 

[WestGorton]

Was that the one where the match balls kept going into our end and we kept them all until they ran out of balls then we threw about eight back on the pitch at once?

Yes think so. Reidy brought Clive on and scored right away.

We have had some nice draws in the last few years in both cups.

 

[Gray]

Will they bring Robbie Williams with them? Could do a turn pre-match at City Square.

Boro v Spurs?

He could do a double act with Hugh ferret, a right pair of cunnts

 

[BlueDan91]

Well, I was half right. Spooky!

Which bit did you get right?

 

[PannickAtTheDisco]

Boro v Spurs?

It's Boro...

 

[WestGorton]

Fab

 

[Cotswold Knight]

It’s our year

 

[BLUEMATT23]

They've gradually gone from joking about our easy draws, to half joking, to now fully buying into the conspiracy.

Another investigation pending!

Have you seen what he charges?
Its more than Agueros daily wage.

Went to Vale when Clive Allen scored the winner.

So did I pal. Saw myself on motd

 

[franksinatra]

Really showed Peter Reid up that day like he did a year or two later scoring two at Notts County

 

[Fordyboy46]

Played Vale a few times back it the 90’s, so they’re not newbies for us older buggers. Remember playing them in a night game and a few tried to take liberties on Claremont Road, only to scarper when the Beehive lot realised what was going on.

They will be bouncing around for this game, very excitable I'd guess.

Is there LC semi due after the tie?

Wouldn't put it past BBC/BT to tell us were in the Sunday night slot before playing Dippers reserves on Tuesday*


*If we don't get turned over by Oxford...

Yes we’ll have Colchester in the first leg in the midweek after the Vale game.

First really started supporting City aged 10 and one of the first games I followed was a win against Port Vale.

Thought we were ace until my Dad said we were kind of crap, lol!

We also lost to them 3 times in a row in the mid-90's.

Good draw.
