    In the hat, job done.

    Would I be right in saying the QPR game will now be postponed due to their replay? Or will it be moved back to the Saturday?

    Update: just checked official site and it will now be played on the Saturday. Good news is it will still be on tv at 12.45.

    Professional job. Good to see a few of the fringe lads get game time.
    Yes QPR moved to the Sat lunchtime now

    Can't believe I stayed up just to watch those 'highlights'. UTV are a joke!

    They had an hour and a half to cover 29 cup games. A run-of-the-mill home win for a PL club against lower league opponents is hardly going to command to much attention in fairness.

    Crap draw. Both would be tough enough. Won last 11 home FA cup matches... So would have been much happier being at home.

    Could have been a lot worse too.

    Our highlights got as much time as a post match interview with Frank Lampard.:confused:

    Tough draw.

    Listening to the radio it sounded like Bale had a stormer yesterday, I would have loved to see more of the game to see how he and Benny combined on the wing, a few reports suggest they were linking up brilliantly...

    Agreed. Although we'd all prefer a home draw Brum/Leeds away isn't a bad away draw.

    Got to be happy with that draw, could have been away to a prem league club, so I'll take Leeds/Birmingham every day. We 'should' be beating either one even with a few fringe players playing.

    It would be foolish to approach this without a full strength team, they will be well up for it

    It's a squad game ;)
    Seriously though, your right, strong team needed, trip to Wembley in May would be great.

    ESPN will show the Spurs 4th round match 'exclusively'. So atleast even if you don't have a subscription a stream should be found easy compared to the Coventry match.

    Edit: Just pipped to it!

    Game is due to be on at 2pm Sunday 27th. Fly back to Oz tomorrow but will be off work in time to watch it in the middle of the night! Sweet...

    I think this means the Norwich game will be pushed back to Wednesday 30th.

    went there for our 4th rd tie in 1999

    nasty vibe in and around the ground, trouble breaking out all over the place

    a very grim place

    I won't be going back
