FA Cup 5th Round Draw

[Metalhead]

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.

We'll definitely need a pretty strong side if we're not to become another cup 'shock'.

The 'treble' is still well and truly on !

If we can be arse bothered.

Been a few years since we've heard that limp "Come on Fulham" chant followed by the clapper board things.

I haven't been to Craven Cottage since 1974 ..

Fulham vs Leiecester... Alan Mullery ..goal of the season...

All the premier league sides have been kept apart. Feels a bit dodgy to me.

Thought the same myself, as close to a seeded draw as you will get.

Luckily Pochettino will trust the squad more than some.

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

Keano scored a pair of identical goals, both set up by Mido. Some cokehead kicked off at some guy a few seats along from me because he wasn't singing loud enough, apparently.

Good draw.

Craven Cottage is a great away day and we've got a good record against them.

I think I'd take this:


Over this:

Spurs are on their way to Wembley....and then Fulham a few days later

We'll see what kind of team Poch goes with for the away leg vs Gent. I certainly think we can afford to make some changes in each game so we dont make completely whole sale changes in one game or the other. We dont have to field the first XI yet in the EL and the FA Cup. We can rotate in 3 straight games. No wholesale changes in any match but no first XI either.

Our draw was made before the Arsenal draw.

Edited my post to reflect I only saw an article post on DM website to say draw was done.

Also peculiar is that so few PL teams got home draws. Burnley and Boro did but can be reasonably argued they are only just PL teams.

Ryan Sessegnon's interview?

Absolutely.

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.

You can be pretty sure that Woolwich also have a 3G pitch at London Colney.

poch will field the strongest team for the gent away leg, to kill the game, so weak wembley home team, so he only has to think about the cup , as its another week to stoke , that way he can field strong team in FA cup

You can bet Sutton's first choice keeper will do a hammy the week before.

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.

They do have floodlights and the pitch is top class I have played on it a couple of times. Arsenal will be able to play good football on it.

Shit draw all round. All the big teams go through. Arsenal get a bye as usual.
