    Just thought I'd give them a mention even though they're not a PL team.

    It a reasoned argument but I'm more of the sentiment that it would do little for me not being able to go. In fact in the scheme of things I've sadly become very indifferent to our results, I just don't feel part of it watching on TV.

    Get that. But personally there's not many small wins around at the moment and the potential of seeing highlights on mainstream TV showing us sticking it to Chelsea ten years ago, plus the chance to do it again, creates some of the excitement that I've had missing from the league games.

    Decorating, come round If it’s ok for Nicola it should be ok for us. Definitely better than trying to get the bt sports app working on my phone. This as an only recently retired programmer for BT who used to work on this stuff.

    Works two ways. Yes, it's nice to get through to the latte rounds, but the last time we had a brilliant run(to the semi-final), we ended up dropping down the league after a solid start and almost went down, didn't we(ended up 3 points safe)? Would hate that to happen again, especially with no prospect of fans returning en mass any time soon.

    As someone who has to watch 99% of our games on iFollow or ESPN+, the fact I cannot make it in person does not influence my enjoyment of the prospect of meeting Chelsea in the next round. I was there with my brother when Odejayi knocked them out last time, which was a huge plus for me. I saw our League Cup endeavor earlier this year from afar, which was a blessing.
