Lincoln City/Liverpool v Leicester City/Arsenal
Millwall/Burnley v Manchester City/Bournemouth
Brentford v Fulham/Sheffield Wednesday
Fleetwood Town/Everton v West Ham
Bristol City/Aston Villa v Stoke City/Gillingham
Leyton Orient/Tottenham v Chelsea/Barnsley
Newport County v Morecambe/Newcastle United
Preston North End/Brighton v Manchester United
So we tuck Gillingham away comfortably this evening and Bristol City beat Villa tomorrow night. No one loses to Bristol City twice in a month so that's us in the last 8.
It gets tricky then but say we draw whoever escapes from this ramshackle lot Brentford v Fulham/Sheffield Wednesday or Newport County v Morecambe/Newcastle United, we should be able to dispatch any of those sides on a good day over 90 mins and penalties so that's the semi-finals.
Its a crapshoot from there, we could almost sniff the Twin Towers. What could possibly go wrong?!

I feel that we are close to renewing an intense rivalry with Bristol City, similar to the one we experienced in the late 90's.

I think we may look back to Sunday's defeat by BC with huge gratitude in time to come. The pre-season and early matches have generally gone well if not perfect, and we went into Sunday's match with optimism and confidence for the first time in years. But the game and the result were a massive wake up call for everyone, particularly MON who chose to be cautious and play 5 at the back. I don't expect MON will make rash changes, but I do expect he found the players' performance quite shocking and he will be out to turn over a new leaf and have a big rethink. |

That’s the spirit Gods.
Just booked my hotel room for the final. Only covid, or us losing before the final, stands in my way of seeing us at Wembley once more.

Whats the point? I'd fucking hate to get to Wembley this season. Imagine us playing there without fans allowed or with a resriticted capacity. Would spoil what should be a great day for the club. I'd rather we save any trips to Wembley until the world is back to normal.

I always think of Bristol City as the most un glamorous team in history. Even as a kid nobody wanted their stickers You couldn't give Gerry Gow away If you had doubles you were stuck with them for life

It hurts so knowing any slight possiblity of getting to Wembley would mean you can't go. It should be a moment in history for fans to enjoy and talk about for decades to come, yet all it would be is a memory from stuck infront of the TV or internet stream. Not that we will get there mind you  |

More of a chance of Gregory scoring a hatrick,than reaching Wembley.

Do those who said the earlier cup games were meaningless still think the same? Loads of youngsters putting in good performances and a chance of a semi-final. I must admit I like this quick turnaround for the cup games...
