Except Tottenham hahahahaha

Don't forget West Ham, Bournemouth, Sheff U, Burnley, Norwich, Newcastle, Brighton, Palace. :cool:

 

Interesting that with the exception of us, those left all drew each other. That means five guranteed prem clubs to go out. So great chance for quarter finals if we avoid a mishap at the Brewers. 

Then who knows, could draw Crawley Colchester, Sunderland, Oxford for a semi place.  It will prob be Man City at home though, it usually is :ph34r:

I remember playing them at the old Baseball Ground in the FA Cup.

 

What a shit show 😄

I remember. It started out as a fight until a game of football broke out.

Because Southampton was by far the easiest draw in the round :D 

Much rather have a premier league team who couldn't care less about the tournament at home, than a league 1 team who are hugely up for it away. I'd rather City got Soton at home than Burton away. Not the easiest draw of course, but man city won't have to break sweat to win this and won't be at the risk of any thundering, clattering challenges either!

Tickets in the home end for this one I should think 🤞🏻. Working and living in the area, know a few who have a season ticket. They reckon their max away allocation is 1800 but we’ll see. Our end will go quickly whatever allocation it is.

As long as we take it seriously and we put out decent teams we shouldn't fear any of the teams left, with the exception of Man City, who will take it seriously.

 

We have no European games, there is no reason we can't give this a good go.

 

And just look at the P/L teams that have gone out. All playing mainly second string players which gives a huge boost to the lower side, knowing they have a real chance to knock out a P/L name.

 

Don't underestimate Burton. They'll be up for this match if we turn up thinking it's an easy cup tie.

We're bound to play on the Tuesday 29th. Three games that must be Wednesday are Villa vs Wolves, Liverpool vs Arsenal and Chelsea vs Man Utd.

 

Lots of potential for TV games in there. I would guess Man City vs Southampton Tuesday and Liverpool vs Arsenal Wednesday?

Know I'm biased but surely ours beats Man City 3-1 Southampton.

 

Would mean we've got three away games in a week all on TV mind.

I think we can beat Manchester City when we draw them in the quarters. It's bound to happen sooner or later. If we beat them, then we can also draw the easy side they were going to get in the semis as well!

They've been there for the taking both times with their own weakened line ups and we've gone and weakened ourselves ever slightly too much to win the game. If we put out a strong XI at home to them we could do it and if we do we really are in with a shot.

 

This is the biggest example of getting ahead of myself ever but you could see it all happening.

 

Similar XI to Luton for me but they're a funny one Burton. Nigel Clough seems to be a really decent cup manager.

You know how we're best mates, right...?

Who here remembers the FA Cup 3rd Round in 1984-5? City played Burton Albion (then a non-league team) away at Derby County's Baseball Ground. City won 6-1 with the help of a Big Ears hat-trick. But their goalkeeper got hit by a coin, and the FA ordered the match to be replayed behind closed doors at Coventry City's Highfield Road Ground. City won that 1-0. I'm not sure if the goals Gazza scored in the first game were included in his stats.

 

In 1903-4, Burton United played Leicester Fosse in another FA Cup tie, which saw us draw away 1-1, then draw 2-2 in the replay at home, before they won the next replay (also at Derby County's ground), 2-0. I remember it well!

A coin?  It was a plank of wood (or similar) I think - concussed and he threw up on the pitch ..
