Reluctant Striker 134 Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 Plenty of replays this round. But, if Villa can get past Chelsea in a Villa Park replay, that's about as good a draw as you can get in the Last 16. Home & avoid certain clubs.

Bluebird Hewitt 1,282 Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 (edited) That was shit for Maidstone. Wrexham with the potentially good tie if they can beat a team below shite like Cardiff. Nothing else really standing out. Edited January 28 by Bluebird Hewitt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucas 3,827 Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 (edited) Yeah that was a shocking draw. Suited all the big Premier League sides really. To make it interesting, it needs Wrexham to win at Blackburn really so they get that Newcastle game. That is the one that stands out so far. If Chelsea beat Villa and we beat Plymouth, Chelsea Leeds is always hostile historically, especially given the division gap now. But a lot needs to happen yet for that to work out. If it did though, I think that becomes a very hot pick. Maybe a potential Bristol City v Man Utd game could be an interesting tie. I did wonder with four teams left whether Maidstone would get Man City but that's a really minging tie for them. Sometimes you just don't get what you deserve in life.

Administrator Stan 18,386 Posted January 28 Author Administrator Share Posted January 28 1 hour ago, Stan said: Blackburn/Wrexham vs Newcastle Bristol City/Nottm Forest vs Newport/Man Utd Luton vs Man City These 3 are 100% on TV, whatever the outcome of the replays. And then most likely the Maidstone game (be disgusting if it isn't) and the Liverpool game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucas 3,827 Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 (edited) Chelsea Leeds tie of the round for me. Some great history there, first meeting in this competition since the famous 1970 final where the rivalry initially started. Don't get me wrong, Chelsea care more about Spurs, Arsenal and Liverpool than us but the old school Chelsea fans, pre Abramovic era will understand the Leeds rivalry. Weeknight match under the lights with our away following should be a cracker and a good test for where we're at.
