Lot of B teams around, aren’t there?

2 excellent draws

 

[Miles Away]

That makes me feel confident we are in with a great shout this year.

That makes me feel confident we are in with a great shout this year.

I thought that last year, even before the Chelsea game I was confident as they weren't playing great and we were doing well.
Hopefully we have learnt not to go all starry eyed and giggle like school girls against the bigger clubs.

 

[Graz]

Decent route for the next 2 rounds that.

Get through those and by Round 6 either Man Utd or Liverpool, and Everton or Spurs, and Wolves or Arsenal would already be out too.

Not bad, not bad at all.

Almost guaranteed to get Man City if we get through them both though...

 

[big_mac4824]

Great draw for us and we should play our strongest hand.

 

[Mike - True Blue Tinter]

Great draw for us and we should play our strongest hand.

I would be happier if we played our strongest 22 hands, as long as they are also connected to our 22 strongest feet!

 

[jb5000]

Should be very disappointing if we don't get to the quarter finals from here, and with a few 'big. Names' knocked out too. We should really go for it

 

[Joe_Fox]

Knowing the round 5 opponent at this stage makes the FA Cup a very different kettle of fish this year.

We should, at least on paper, canter to the quarter finals and know that e.g. Liverpool or Man U won't be there.

I think we should go for it. The treble is still on.

Brentford’s game tonight, at home against Bristol City, as well as their visit to Reading on Saturday, have been postponed due to a number of positive Covid cases.

Fantastic! 7:30. Plenty of time to get the last train back to London.

Oh wait...

Yes. Wise to wait. It could go to extra time and penalties
