Sheff Utd or Boro away. I ask you. Couldn't possibly have had a worse draw. No glamour whatsoever and somewhere we're second favourites. If I ask nicely, do you reckon on swapping our tie for yours :'(
agreed mate. As I said in an earlier post, I have mixed feelings about ours with us being able to smell Wembley, but compared with yours - I'll stick with Chelsea thanks!
I would have thought exactly the same If we had drawn your lot away I cheered loudly when your name came out as an away team before we had come out. did the same when Portsmouth came out. Those 2 were my nightmare draws. Closely followed by WBA away. We've got a good 'un. Could have been a lot worse.
youd hardly be favourites at home to Chelsea mate lol Anyway, those that missed out on Anfield due to the silly ticketing policy deserve this draw.
RE: you've got Jimmy JFH is playing very well at the moment tbh. No pace obviously but his general play is now somewhere near to what you expect from him. And what a goal on Saturday btw. Can't believe how unsellfish he is these days as well, will always play someone else in if they're in a better position. It'll be interesting with him if we get Boro. Him & Mido will be in competition to see who's got the biggest shorts.
RE: youd hardly be favourites at home to Chelsea mate lol We had the same problem this year with Liverpool tickets tbh. Nightmare. But you'll still have people complaining about Chelsea tickets however many you get. Never going to please everyone.
I think you have a good chance boro looked poor against the Blunts - expect them to win the replay though but could see you beating either long trip from Cardiff to Middlesborough though
RE: I would have thought exactly the same That was the complete opposite to my reaction. Banging your head on the steering wheel when driving is neither big nor clever btw I wanted a home draw basically, same as everyone else in it - preferably against Bristol Rovers. We've been lucky with glamour ties recently, playing Liverpool, Arsenal & Spurs (twice) in the last couple of seasons. Don't fear Sheff Utd tbh but I can't see them going through. And Boro are going through a sticky patch so I guess its a London weekend after all.
RE: I think you have a good chance It's not that bad as we'll make a weekend of it up there,meet up with some geordie mates. We've done the Darlo, Hartlepool & Sunderland trips many times with them - you should see the looks on the locals faces when they pick up on their accents. Priceless. One of them has already emailed me saying he'll book a bus from the Toon. Flight is under an hour from Bristol and will be around £40. Can't be bothered with the road journey when there's not that much difference in cost.
