[Hazzman]

Are Man City's reserves any good?

Struggled against West Brom Ressies...like we did. :icon_roll

one of them plays every week for us at left back. They seem ok!

 

[Nottingham Fox]

Ok so the odds are not in our favour, but that doesn't mean we can't give them a good game and pull off a result. It's the FA Cup .... where strange things happen. Didn't Leeds go to Old Trafford last season and knock them out?

I didn't say they did

I was just saying that anything can happen in the FA Cup, so why lots are being defeatist is beyond me :icon_conf

I am a defeatist and I say we are ****ed....

The fact we're in the Championship and they're in the Premierhsip probably means you are right. That said, I would never write off my team.

 

[slyfox]

Cracking draw....its about time we played a top team.

 

[Leesoh]

Am I the only person disappointed that we're gonna get fecked all over?

I'm interested to see how we'll perform against the kind of team we want to playing regular league football against. :icon_wink

Wonder if the game will have to played on the Sunday regardless of TV coverage, due to the Tiggers being at home and on TV themselves. (This will probably be covered in an earlier post, which I haven't read due to my wine consumption this afternoon...)

 

[camberwell fox]

**** me, why the negativity on here, we play above bar they play below = possible upset. Great draw. Exactly what the FA Cup is about!

 

[glyn]

I am. As I said, would've preferred an easy game!

Of course, it's a nice morale boost if we could knock them out....

Time to change your avatar :icon_wink

No pressure for our boys. Just go out and perform. If we could snatch a result, it could just provide us with the momentum needed for a play-off push.

It will be interesting to see what team we will put out being as most the loans will have finished by then and I doubt we will have made many signings in the first week of the window.

Pleased with the draw though nice to get a big team.

Or we could lose and begin a new downward spiral. :icon_sad:

 

[Filthy Rich]

Send for Frank Large.

Wow! What memories! One of the best games ever.

Was the crowd about 42,000 or have I imagined it?

When the winning goal went in they said you could hear the roar of the crowd in Birstall !

 

[Siouxsie]

you mean pleased we wont see round 4?


This is a bad draw for us.

agreed

 

[kanefire166]

Beginning of January, weather like this?

Nah.....

 

[Durham Fox]

Depressed at the thought of the 2 for 1 crew coming down to watch Tevez and Kompany.

It was a mid week night match (I'm sure it was a Wednesday). The ground was packed with lots of swaying on the Filbert Street. Weren't we trailing by a couple of goals at one stage in the first half before Frank got his hat trick? Possibly the most gutsy performance I've seen from a Leicester centre forward.
