FA Cup 5th Round Draw

[mark87]

Even more amazing - 8 premier league teams are all kept apart!

Bloody hell I didn't even notice that.

Fulham away should be a really good atmosphere. Proper fa cup tie.

Sort of tie that has Saturday 5:30 kick off written all over it.


But we all know they'll pick City/Huddersfield...

Sutton v arsenal

It'll be a homecoming of sorts ... Woolwich playing south of the river again.

Fairy happy with that, as long as Poch starts to take it seriously now. We tend to do well there.

Yeah we've a good record

Tottenham have lost just one of their eight previous games in the FA Cup against Fulham (W5, D2, L1).

Trouble is, I think he'll make too many changes as the Europa League is back by then.

Well we know it be on a Sunday as we have the EL game on the Thurs night! 3pm Sunday I reckon as doubt it be a televised game

Amazing the big 5 all avoided each other.

Statistically improbable. More statistically improbable that ALL PL teams avoided each other in a 'fair' draw. The second I saw Arse get sutton I 'knew' we had a PL team yet it didn't occur, for any PL team.

Edit: before anyone wonders of timing didn't watch the draw unfold (superstitions and all).

Our draw was made before the Arsenal draw.

I hope it's a really miserable day when arsenal play Sutton. I don't even think they have flood lights and the pitch is artificial so could be a bad day for both supporters and players.

 

[Mr Pink]

I repeat of our last fa cup game there please, where we won 4-0.

Was that the day Berbatov and Keane bagged a brace each, playing in that chocolate brown kit!!

 

[VertongHen]

Chance of no PL team getting drawn against each other was 0.06% I think...

 

[ardiles]

Can we sign Ryan Sessegnon before the window closes.

Last time we played there in the FA Cup we got tonked 4-0.

I'd prefer Fulham away on a decent pitch rather than Sutton away on their allotment.

Except that Sutton have an artificial pitch.

Unless they have 4G allotments now.

Right in middle of the two legs of Europa league. Poch has a huge decision to make regarding rotation. Fulham are a good side and if we don't play at least 7/8 of our first team then we will lose that game.
Personally I'd go all out with first team in away game v Gent and try and kill that tie off.

Then against Fulham I'd play the first team again (with the odd change Winks for Dembele, Son starting too for example) with the idea of rotating most (not all) in the home leg with the tie dead.

Get past Fulham and if we get a home draw we have a huge chance of getting into the semi final.

It does, I think ours has the potential to be the best game of all the ties. Loads of spurs fans there, Fulham giving it ago as I doubt they'll be in the promotion push. Wolves, Chelsea could be a good game as well. The Utd and city games don't really have much appeal for me.

 

[millsey]

We actually have the hardest draw

Don't know about that.
Sutton play on a 3G pitch don't they which I asume we would have at the training ground. So not such a big advantage for em.

I'd say Sutton do.

 

[millsey]

I'd say Sutton do.

Nah!

Haha, maybe take the studs around a bit.
